fair point.

he does seem like a guy who gets invited to *lots* of dinner parties - like, probably rarely eats at home.

and what? airbnb my place and let a mysterious tourist get murdered in there?

great, now i have a ghost problem! 👻

(clearly the solution is to invite him, but in increasingly elaborate disguises, which honestly sounds like a hoot and a half!)

Imagine being Hercule Poirot's best friend and trying to throw a dinner party.

You can't not invite your BFF, but if you invite him, your other guests will leave.

A quandary that can only be solved by a truly marvelous mind...

“No, chef!” Or is it “no, doctor!” 🤔

Todd Lyons to step down as ICE chief in Washington, D.C. The South Boston native who rose from the chief of immigration enforcement in ICE's Boston office to the top of the agency under President Trump is stepping down to join the private sector.

Can't say I'm surprised. I'll be interested to see what happens as I've had some political folks in Massachusetts tell me they think that Lyons's ties to the state have led to a less militarized ICE presence here as compared to other places.

I was going with "baroque period magician" but it could go either way. i mean the fit just screams "versatility."

Really enjoyed this piece - made me curious what Vonnegut would have made of AI.

What a tactful way to try and find out what you were in for!

Socially deft, future class president right here.

sounds like it!

in 2025 only 22.5% of federal workers believed they could report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation, down from 71.9% in 2024.

All of 'em suck. We'd be better doing government like jury duty, where you get a letter in the mail, have to do a spot of quick civics training, and then it's off to DC for two or four years, and then back home

URGENT! The Massachusetts House just passed a "social media ban" that would force YOU to upload a government ID or submit to a face scan to post online. CALL YOUR STATE SENATORS! 978-485-4694

Okay bluesky I need your help

I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros

Alt text of all the congressmen expelled - 3 for fighting for the confederacy, 2 for financial crimes, primarily. Several possible to be added to the list today for sex crimes.

Did you know all 6 representatives expelled from the House were men?

There are still so many glass ceilings left to break.

Somewhere is a girl with dreams of misappropriating funds, sexually assaulting a staffer, or fighting for the confederacy.

But if she can't see it, she can't be it!

And here I thought Trump's Jesus/Voltron fantasy art would be the most offensive thing I would see today!

Silly. Laughable even. What a fool am I.

Yeah non zero chance the rabbi on the phone googled this lady and was like "yeeesh no thanks!"

"i hope the pope takes care of the president THE CHICAGO WAY" is a statement i never expected to utter with sincerity.

It wasn't a figment of my imagination - it was just a weird show from Canada, that I still have no idea how we got at our house.

I don't think we had cable then, parts of this tale are still a mystery!

(name of the show is Today's Special).

For years I asked my contemporaries if they remembered the show where the department store mannequin named Jeff comes to life at night.

In the early 00s I began searching intermittently but the internet was less.... comprehensive then.

Finally ~2012 I found evidence & was so relieved!

do they have dry shampoo in space?

probably not the aerosol kind but there's gotta be alternative applications.
