A very glossy Squirrel of the Day for April 20, 2026 #sqrlpix

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

Obama and Mamdani telling a story to children. They have their hands raised and they look surprised,

"And then all the right-wingers heads exploded like BOOM!"

AI chuds will lie that actually cars or the internet also had to be pushed this hard and: No they didn't. That isn't true.

I was there for the rise of the internet and smart phones, and they absolutely sold themselves. People took one look and got excited. There was no point, years into the smart phone, where companies were having to be like "you may not like the iPhone but it's here to stay so get used to it"

"out for a walk ... bitch"

(sorry but if you say "five words" only one quote comes to mind!!!)

I don’t often use the overextended word “iconic”, but as the adage goes, there are a hundred thousand songs about falling in love, but there’s only one song about the boys being back in town.

musically, lyrically, & sonically perfect, it’s as good as rock n roll gets.

Whew. I wore large, heavy, hangy, swingy earrings today and boy, are my holes tired!

“You cannot kill me in a way that matters.”

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Levin Law advertisement were you in Washington, DC from January 5th to the 7th 2021? If so, you may be eligible for compensation. Learn more

Yes please. I would like 80 gazillion dollars for having lived through that shitshow

this is an incredible troll

started thinking about how the internet used to be a place you went to make weird shit with your friends and is now mostly just a rapacious consumption engine literally eating the planet alive and i gotta go to the arts and crafts store and make a weird little guy out of sculpey or something

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground YouTube video by Massive Attack

The new Massive Attack x Tom Waits track and video are worth a listen and watch.

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

I love these threads from Derek Guy. Always interesting, even if I never thought chinos could be interesting, and the photos are great.

Beauty!

Ahhh! Thank you. 😊

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Just realized my entire latest grocery store trip consisted of: NA red wine, nondairy ice cream, and meatless jerky.

Black doormat covered in sort of fluffy long pale-brown seedy things presumably off a tree, but not one of our trees.

What are these guys that are currently blowing around everywhere?

I was trying to decide what hammerface guy would have OD’d on (without reading about him on purpose) … crushed human pineal gland? Where is Hunter Thompson when we need him.

I can’t breathe. 🤣

Ohhh such a good one. I don’t even mind that it plays in my head when I take the Red Line metro.

You people have stood in my way long enough!
