this is how Utah's Congressional map deals with Utah's largest city, cracking it through to the middle into 4 different districts in order to deny it Congressional representation to make sure Dems get 0 seats
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! They really made my day
We don't eat much meat at home, so when we do, it has to count.

Steak frites for the birthday @jaybeans.bsky.social
I don't know, they're about to make four interlocking cinematic universe style films for the Beatles
I just can't see people clamouring for a Krist Novoselic or a Pat Smear film
Blond woman hugging her put-upon looking blonde cat
I swear that cat knows female gingers are rare, and it has been terrible for her ego.
This sad waif face is a lie, but people keep falling for it.
They gave her a rabies shot, so you can be sure, she is entirely in control of her facilities and horrid on purpose.
This cat wakes me up every day with violence. First she wakes up @jaybeans.bsky.social for breakfast and eats one bite. Then she whacks me in the face and chews on my fingers with her toothless hippo jaws until I wake up because she is bored.
Frances is at the vet for her checkup. The vet said she was the best patient of the day. She is like a kid who is an angel at school and a demon at home. Dreadful beastie.
This is the sexiest dance I've seen in a while
Because of my age, I find stories about Nirvana Kurt Cobain to at least be a little interesting
But can you imagine if Gen X and elder Millennials felt about Nirvana the way the Boomers feel about the Beatles?
Horny Hozier is my jam. Which is to say, all of Hozier
lol enjoy the warfighting readiness of a flu epidemic in the ranks
I have basically hit bifocals age and it has come too fast
Wrexham is back in the top 6 (so is eligible for the playoff run to earn the 3rd promotion spot)
If the Sox can also beat the Yankees today then I will have THE best sports day for my birthday
I am so sad we didn't get a chance to meet up during our whirlwind Mardi Gras tour!
Don't worry too much though. There will be a next time
When we met, I was 16.5 and @jaybeans.bsky.social was 17. This year, we both turn 45. We grew up together. We made each other this way.
Baby Bean!!
They were built for a beard, but sometimes I miss those cheeks.
Me about a year after @mostlymartha.bsky.social and I started dating
A white woman and beardy person in the stands at a baseball game. They are wearing ball caps and glasses, and they are smiling.
See how much cuter and cooler 2025 @jaybeans.bsky.social is than 2004 Beans above? Remarkable how kind the years have been!
A white man and woman smiling with a city skyline behind them. The man has tiny glasses and a goatee
Happy birthday to @jaybeans.bsky.social. I have had the pleasure of knowing them for 28 years, and I can confirm they are cuter and cooler every year.
Cobbie is one of my all-time fave Ballers
Tomorrow, I can just take life easy.
Timeline cleanse
Tomorrow is @jaybeans.bsky.social's birthday. Giving them birthday spankings was a lot less physically arduous on both of us when they were turning 18 instead of 45. But now it's a bit, and we're both trapped.
Oh my...
Wait. Which Jalen is this? I went to sleep and there are now 62 Jalens in the NBA
