It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

If you’re curious about what goes on at 35th college reunions, it’s mostly people sitting around connecting on Strava.
“Effective 19th May 2026, our standard payment terms will change from current terms 30 days to new terms 45 days. This adjustment is part of our efforts to streamline our financial processes.” Oh, sure! Are there any other ways my family could help you streamline your financial processes?
White guys who studied liberal arts...we're so fucking back.
Take some inspiration from the shrike. Be an adorable little guy with a flawless haircut who will impale his enemies on a spike to display to others as an example.
It turns out my writing process is very much tied into typing; literally my brain has over the years tuned itself to compose at about the same speed as I can type. If I try to dictate a story it fucks up my process and I get frustrated. If one day I can't type, I may switch, but for now, no.
Unavoter@unacoder.bsky.social · last yr.Ever use voice recognition software instead of typing? Over the years, I've tried all of them and currently use MS Word with that functionality. Especially useful in my early stream of consciousness phase of beginning a story and laying out the worldscape.
It’s like drinking a smoothie made from a nice restaurant’s garbage

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.
There’s infrastructure, and then there’s Dutch infrastructure. And cycling on this infrastructural masterpiece, on top of a primary school, never bores!
U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.
so is Harper’s gonna write a letter saying people should be allowed to say the truth out loud without losing their job or being persecuted by the government? when are they all gonna sign that one
They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.
drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image
This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as *legislators* and more what they will do as *politicians*. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.
Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein.bsky.social · last yr.CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough? SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.
Taking a shot of gin to get the incriminating odor of peanut butter cups off my breath.
Yesterday, looking over a survey, I realized that I will not be turning 55 this year. I'll be turning 55+. Do not like.
