I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Truly an astounding coincidence. How DID you manage it??

This is the opposite of me and my sister (we only share the same mister).

LITERAL brother??

I was a plus one for a friend (over her very reluctant husband) at a fundraiser last night where I knew NO ONE, and thus snuck in some time reading L’Engle classics (Many Waters).

We called ours Bob.

How is “viewpoint diversity” not just affirmative action for people with bad ideas

@aetiology.bsky.social, two can play at that game! Second dose of Gardasil before classes today.

Now you're just showing off.

Belated, but I dare anyone to have a better #Caturday morning than I did.

This is AirTran erasure (may its memory be a blessing).

Came here to tell this joke!

a man in a red shirt says exactly Alt: Martin Short points and says, “Yes, exactly!”

THANK YOU!

Same as a lot of art history: power/kingship, ferocity. Lots of fancy gateways, private and public, in the US have similar lions (his reference is probably the ones outside the NYPL, though a library might be a stretch?).

WHO, ERIK, WHO??

I also thought it was crocheted at first.

My kid’s art was one of 30 grand prize winning art works selected from 8,000 submissions across the state (K-12 students), and I AM SO PROUD OF HER.

She, of course, is just excited about the prize money.

Confident in my ability to properly ship, I take the strait. I smile at my opponent. Supreme Leader Khamenei does not return the gesture. He’d be prettier if he did, I think. He fires. The rocket passes cleanly through my bridge, killing me instantly

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Oh shit.
What’s with Today, Today?

A happy Rex Manning Day to all those who celebrate!

A former student came to my house with a plumbing team and when I told my mom, she asked, "why is he doing THAT?," to which I replied, "he's making a lot more money than I ever will!"

$3,900 is aspirational here. I've been teaching at a school for 16 years and have been paid $2,400 every semester.

It's all so fucking stupid. We don't have to live like this.

I listened to Sandra Oh’s narration and it was spectacular.

A tuxedo cat with perfect symmetrical markings and a vacant stare looks at the poster. It is the cat’s birthday and she is 15.

It's Panda's birthday! This is the only one of our cats whose birthday we know with certainty, so we do it up in style*!

*we say "happy birthday!" and ask her how it feels to be another year older. She is now 15 and has never given a satisfactory answer.

Always banging my drum about this one (begging my doctor for the vaccines I am "too young for" for illnesses I have already suffered from).

Thanks, Charlie! Tara is a real-life friend and an aces human being, and I'm so happy to facilitate some really smart local people doing really smart people things!

@cworeds.bsky.social is a lawyerly person!

A manicured white hand holds an Xteink e-reader with a screen saver of Chappell Roan squinting at the Grammys.

I finally did the thing and pulled out my Xteink X4 out at a kid birthday party (at which I knew none of the parent or kids except my own)!
