Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

I appreciate that this photo is one of the few actually visible on Bluesky right now.

Also, the alt-text is fantastic.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Smoke alarms are made to have batteries that are nearly impossible to change & that die between 2-4 am so you break it when you attempt to change the battery half asleep. That way you keep having to buy new ones.

They also have a deal with 9 volt battery manufacturers.

PD: City of Angels was so good. Who knew Nathan Lane could play a great hard-boiled detective.

Totally unrelated: I will never not laugh that the music venue for bands like Cake was a u-pick strawberry farm next to where I graduated from high school (the same year as one of the Remlinger kids) in the 80s.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

Someone help me I think I’m having a stroke

how is this literally happening in real life

Digital drawing of a pink rose bush with fully open blooms as well as buds amid green leaves. The outline of the flowers and leaves is in white, giving the image a graphic but unrealistic vibe. Blue sky is just visible in the background behind the tangle of leaves and branches.

Another fantastical take for #DrawAFlowerADay... taking a break from the photorealism attempts 😅

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

It sounds like something the villain of an action movie would do ... run a car ferry full of passengers, including many Naval personnel, aground ... when in reality, it was mechanical failure.

Though, I can now honestly say I've heard the words, "Brace for impact" in real life.

Photo of Pedro Pascal wearing a dark grey blazer and loosely tied necktie, paired with short blue denim jorts. He is holding some cream coloured roses in one hand and the other is over his crotch where he has suggestively tucked his index finger into his fly. You’re welcome.

I might be misreading things but it feels like the timeline could use a picture of Pedro Pascal in little shorty jorts

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.
