The Giants / Dodgers series may get rained out!

Cartoon, wide layout, six panels, three on top, three below. =TOP ROW= * LEFT PANEL Wide shot: Mysterious robed figures carrying lanterns atop staves come to a lonely house in the middle of the night. A female figure stands in the home's open doorway. ROBED FIGURE We have come for the child. * CENTER PANEL Close now on the mother and her visitors. MOTHER So soon? ROBED FIGURE It is time. * RIGHT PANEL MOTHER We should never have got him a library card! ROBED FIGURE What is done cannot be undone. =LOWER ROW= *LEFT PANEL MOTHER We couldn’t see the harm! We only wanted him to enjoy reading! ROBED FIGURE For most, it ends there. * CENTER PANEL A young boy walks out of the house and follows the departing robed figures. MOTHER Oh, Lord! What have I done? SON Do not cry, mother. * RIGHT PANEL Back to the wide shot, as the boy and robed figures get farther from the house, and the mother watches from the open doorway. SON I am a writer now.

Proust:

It's giving Ursala LeGuin's quote about capitalism eventually collapsing, just as the Divine Right of Kings did.

Anything we create, we can deconstruct and have a responsibility to imagine into being.

Everytime I hear "Palantir" I remember Pippin grabbing it and it horrifying him into unconsciousness and Gandalf just smacks him and tells the Fellowship, "To stare into that thing is stupid, but fortunately, Perregrin Took is stupider."

Honestly, that's 80% of coolness. Well done.

Once got into a screaming match in the middle of the London Underground I was so stressed out.

Five years later, in London with the wife and had a breakdown because it was so lovely and calm and supportive and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It didn't. Just a nice trip.

I'm watching Time Team excavate a medieval priory, minding my business and I am overrun by ads for gubernatorial candidates.

It's one thing during the playoffs - I pay my tithes - but it's April???? Leave me alone to my enigmatic dirt!

God, this is Yay Area as fuck.

Good for him. Get them residuals.

A gem! May he get more work!

Also, Daniel Radcliffe is a tiny, silly little elf who does not even attempt to have to have an American accent despite supposedly being from Baltimore.

I finally turned on Reggie Dinkins (thanks Black Sky!), and it is a delight.

If you're looking for an easy, breezy comedy, I highly recommend it.

As an American: Fuck that guy. We'll see you at the Hague.

As a sober alcoholic: Woof, buddy. This is really fucking sad. I hope you get some help.

A gift to all who knew her.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Fire Ryan Walker!

Virginia governor, advocates remember Dr. Cerina Fairfax Dr. Cerina Fairfax is remembered as a mentor and community leader as officials call attention to the broader impact of domestic gun violence toward Black women.

It has been really disturbing to see some people pay tribute to Dr. Cerina Fairfax’s killer without even mentioning her. The victims of domestic violence matter more than their husband’s political careers.

Not to be a papist on main, but do y'all historically know what happens when people start shit with the Vatican?

You'd almost think there was some sort of divine intervention involved or something.

The horrors!

Okay, but wanting to be in a circle jerk with synths is fucking loser behavior!?

Bitch, get friends!

Fuck yeah! Every major city needs this!

My hottest take is that genius is overrated and doesn't hold a candle to decency and hard work.

A tree sparrow is speaking: "Artistic creation shouldn't be considered carelessly! Good art is made deliberately! With emotion! Physical exertion! If you aren't crying or bleeding by the end, you'd better look into another lifestyle...". We see a class of birds with piles of sticks and a big banner that reads "Intro to nest building" made out of twigs. The teacher continues: "Ok! Does everyone have their bundle of soft moss?"

The baby is having such a hard bedtime I already reorganized tomorrow to adjust.

A fucking blueprint.

ROMEO, BAKER M. @BakerMikeRomeo • 2h why would the pope care about your book Rod Dreher @roddreher • 1h Because it was widely denounced by Antonio Spadaro, SJ, and others as "anti-Francis" (which it's not, but that was the line in Civilta Cattolica, which Francis reads and has to approve before publication). And Francis's people called around Italy before my book tour asking... ROMEO, BAKER M. @BakerMikeRomeo Replying to @roddreher ok so here's the thing: he's the pope, right and you're explaining to a cartoon rabbit on the internet why you're important enough that the pope should know who you are

Since we’re all making fun of Rod Dreher, I think about this at least once a week

An adviser to Mojtaba Khamenei, the supreme leader, warned that Iran had “large, untouched levers” to counter any naval blockade. Its top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s Parliament, directly addressed American consumers: “Soon you’ll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas.”

The day gas hits $10/gal in CA, the state is gonna grind to a halt.
