I know complaining about a listicle is dumb but not putting LOTR on a list of the top 100 English Language Novels is just the height of snobbery. I'd take off one of those books I've never read. If they were so good I would have read them, right?

Quote skeet with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

Clowder, noun, a group of cats. Variant definition: friends who appear just when you need them Duchess of Doom's story today is full of lush language, cats, and strength found in love that lasts:

There is no tension between adult demand for infants and child welfare protections because adults are not owed nfants whereas children are owed welfare protections so the adults can get over it

Tonight was the first #Astros game since opening day that at least one team did not score 5+ runs

Happy Ruination Day for all who celebrate

I think they should keep scoring all the runs and stop allowing all the runs. Not sure they thought of that

City Connects are now mostly just slightly different logos in standard team colors and I don't like it

I'm glad that my personal happiness is no longer so dependent on the Astros

I need to start not finishing books so I have something to read for that square in #rootrootread

We just got some devastating news today. It seems that someone posed as a prospective parent and murdered four students at the school in Uganda. A silly run is not important at all but the school really needs all the support it can get right now and prayers if that is a thing you do

Solving the important problems I see

I can't believe the DOJ has fallen to Flinkinger levels

My wife overheard evidence of the rise of "somewhat approve" in a conversation between two people in the heart of MAGA country who were complaining about gas prices. They still assumed it was all somehow Democrats fault but did not seem all that convinced

It's not a political movie except that it's a science movie and conservatives are anti-science

Frank Thomas because of his connection to Bagwell

Quiet does not equal dull but this Kings of Convenience album is dull. An album of Rufus is hard to take but he has my vote here

Old Man and the Sea in 4th grade. I did not get the allegory

baseball has two basic modes: 1. grumpy, slow-paced cotillion 2. drama avalanche where it feels like you’ve been kidnapped but in a way you enjoy for some reason

Where is this energy for Libs of TikTok?

Like how the Astros doomsday scenario is basically - the Astros forgot about corner outfielders, they should get some of those

Truly great unexpected news

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched An eclectic but very good week

I know that the last opinion anyone wants to hear is from a white middle-aged straight cis guy, but this Kansas thing is bullshit and the most important word in the phrase “trans people” is “people” and every decent human being needs to stand up and oppose this fascist ruling.

Republicans decided to back a guy who worships no god but himself and they shifted their allegiances accordingly

WE DID IT!

If Vance is the 2028 nominee this clip should run over and over from whoever is running against him

The Republican project post Watergate was to make sure they would never have to face consequences for their actions and in killing the Post they have achieved their masterstroke

Is the argument that individuals are supposed to be kind to strangers but if the individuals are part of the government they can be as cruel as they want to be? That doesn't seem to be a very good argument

The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us! - Sufjan Stevens

I read And the Dragons Will Come: Raising a Transgender Kid in Rural Alabama by Sim Butler. I don't know Sim and Kate but they are friends of friends and it makes me furious and sad that our state was not a safe place for them. #RootRootRead

TFW when you do a 5 mile bike ride, see a cool owl, and even conquer that hill that has given you trouble and when you finish you see Strava wasn't recording so it doesn't even count
