A squirrel's tail peeks up around the edge of a bird feeder, you can hear him say "I thought this was supposed to be Thai spicy?"

In the court of Louis XIV the courtiers fought to be the one to carry the Sun King's freshly-filled chamberpot. If you're a reporter and you can't see that you are being manipulated like a 17th century French nobleman to carry the king's shit, you should probably switch beats

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

It's now favorite salad season again.

Whole lot of helicopters up in NE DC and they're not MPD...

These are not the circumstances under which I assumed a president would say “Praise Be to Allah!” on Easter

This is real

It’s being done in our name

Congressional Republicans are okay with this

My all-time favorite Nats ad.

Are you suggesting "Rendezvous then I'm through with you" is not some deep thought?

In which @tiff.is asks Siri to play a song and Siri loses her dang mind.

Yup

@reckless.bsky.social Congrats on your iMac 5K display success! Did you work from a specific parts list/guide? I just retired a 5K at work and I sorta kinda want to do the same.

I am very excited for Wednesday when it arrives at my neighborhood shop. My steps are gonna be CLEAN.

I gotta do my porch first!

I am officially middle-aged. I ordered an electric pressure washer today.

Your annual, tax-season reminder that Flexible Spending Accounts are:
a. Not actually flexible
b. A stupid, user-hostile way to "help" people pay for things that should be considered a public good.

For anyone at the Nats game: how full is it?

Jelly! Enjoy!

NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window on April 2, 2026, after completing the translunar injection burn.
