The internet is such a weird place. I just ran into a TikTok account that is re-posting and pretending to be a YouTuber who does linguistics content… who is a guy I went to high school with.

Man things are getting BITCHY in the Nats announcer booth tonight. Dude #3 got moved to the camera well and is being a passive-aggressive whiny loser about it “well YOU’RE there, Ryan, so of course I got moved” …Yeah, my guy, that’s Ryan Zimmerman and I already forgot your name? You good bro?

A sweet little lab mix pup, relaxing in a crate. She has golden fur and a brown-black snoot with a tiny white stripe down the middle and stunning black eyeliner. The door is open and she has a star-spangled blanket spread across the top and sides to make a true lady’s boudoir.

“When Women Were Dragons,” Kelly Barnhill.

“When Women Were Dragons.” Cannot recommend highly enough.

It's Friday night baby

Stories are funny things, though. We think we know what they will be when we begin, but they have minds of their own. They are so like our children in this way. I thought I was writing a short story. I wasn't. This story very quickly informed me that it wanted to be a novel. Who was I to argue? I thought I was writing a story about rage. I wasn't. There is certainly rage in this novel, but it is about more than that. In its heart, this is a story about memory, and trauma. It's about the damage we do to ourselves and our community when we refuse to talk about the past. It's about the memories that we don't understand, and can't put into context, until we learn more about the world. And I thought I was writing about a bunch of fire-breathing, powerful women. And while those women certainly are in this book, it isn't about them. It's about a world upended by trauma and shamed into silence. And that silence grows, and becomes toxic, and infects every aspect of life. Perhaps this sounds familiar to you now-times being what they are. This book is not based on Christine Blasey Ford or her testimony, but it would not have existed without that woman's bravery, her calm adherence to the facts, and her willingness to relive one of the worst moments of her life to help America save itself from itself. Her actions didn't work, but they still mattered. And maybe that's enough, in our fervent hope that the next generation gets it right.

Oh my GOD this book

Well not TS anymore, I guess

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

The Catholic Church is known for its ability to mind its own business, so this should be fine.

I want every state to have its own airline. I want Air Virginia. Every MiLB town should have an independent airline.

(Prob don’t fly MarylandAir)

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

I feel like I have a decent grasp on most of the Big Themes of the current era except that, having been raised in the deep south, I know functionally nothing about Catholicism and really didn’t anticipate that would ever be a problem

Our duvet cover spread out on our bed. It is blue with a red, white, and blue seal in the middle with an absolutely outraged and confused bald eagle in the middle, and around the circle says “OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK” with stars, because USA

Every day our @effinbirds.com duvet cover protects my sanity just a little bit more

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

I have seen one good example of this plate

I think it is actually like 100% unprecedented in US history

I'm guessing Secretary of State Marco Rubio - a Catholic "revert" who was born into the church, went away to be Mormon then Baptist, and came back with the freshly bad vibes of a trad - was smart enough to know he did not want that smoke

I get the frustration, but also, if we don't use the service, you're guaranteeing privatized only, for profit only mail service.

So maybe "use it as much as possible."

Art’s cool tho

Oh my god Cartoon Darth Maul just talked about Crimson Dawn DID YOU READ ABOUT THEM IN TIME MAGAZINE MAULIE?!?

Nobody gave a shit about Darth Maul the FIRST time, now you want me to think Darth Red Herring is some kind of master badass? No, Liam Neeson put him on a deli slicer, it’s over Anakin, he has the boring bitch ground

We just started the new Maul series and @heathenhistory.bsky.social just explained the premise to me and I’m ALREADY annoyed. Why can none of these motherfuckers just STAY DEAD you fell down a HOLE

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

The moon

Earth which actually looks a lot like a crescent moon

We’ve got new photos from the Artemis II mission, and I was not expecting crescent Earth.

Moose lying in a field with head up, while a Canada goose perches unconcernedly atop his head.

Tired of the old "elf on a shelf" nonsense? Canada GOTCHU.
