It had to be a mistake, but today, September 27, I saw a Chicago city bus whose manifest read “SEASONS GREETINGS” with images of Santa in his sleigh, reindeer, and candy canes.

More poets, fewer fascists. AI artwork sucks.
A lot has been made of Elizabeth Holmes’s admittedly unusual speaking voice, but watching the trailer for the upcoming Lance Oppenheimer doc about her I found Nathan Fielder’s voice so insufferably unlistenable that if I don’t watch the movie it will be because of him. His voice is worse than hers.

Jesse Locker@jessemlocker.bsky.social · 4d agoA carved "pillar-biter" from the church of St. Bavo in Haarlem, from 1509-1517. With roots in Medieval iconography, pillar-biters represented hypocrisy and false piety. More here: www.leidenmedievalistsblog.nl/articles/dev...
John Coltrane. Born 100 years ago today. Acrylic, ink and pencil.
Clavicular sits around like this? Has he ever heard of wearing pants that fucking fit? These look like his aunt’s capri pants.
For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.
My father somehow got 100 copies of this and arranged to give them to all my schoolmates and kids went wild with glee

It rained on me as I walked to work and a Scientologist started shit with me 50 steps from my office. The kind of day when sitting at my desk working will be an improvement.
I intend to go my entire life without ever seeing The Princess Bride
Pete Hegseth is the guy at the bar who calls you a lesbian because you won’t let him buy you a drink
I have an extremely dim memory of this, the kind that’s so dim that I may have only seen an ad In a comic book for it once for five seconds
Discontinued Foods!@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · 2w agoPunch n Juicy Gum (circa 1982-circa 1987): Discs of soft chewing gum with a gooey, juicy liquid center that would explode in your mouth when you chewed them. Flavors included "Oozin' Fruit", "Burstin' Regular", "Very Cherry", and "Great Grape"
On 9/11, my boss said “I know it’s a national tragedy, but you don’t get paid to surf the internet” as we desperately looked for information about if Chicago would be next while also in shock about New York.
I can’t believe that maladjusted emo brat stuffed in a stupid blue suit is Vice President.
It really sucks that collectively as a country we’ve spent most of the 25 years after 9/11 being the absolute worst versions of ourselves 
If you made software not intended to kill everyone and now you think it might kill everyone that sounds like a product liability issue. You should go fix it and stop bothering me
No one is coming to save you. However, someone is coming to stand in front of what you want to look at in the grocery store
Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
It’s finally occurred to me after watching umpteen dozen of her films that Isabelle Huppert may be my favorite actor. She could be in a student film washing dishes in silence and it would be worthwhile.
I could write a book about my weird jobs, most of which happened before I was 21, but one that I love talking about is scorekeeper for a women’s bowling tournament.
SarahJSloat@sjane.bsky.social · 3w agoHappy labor day (USA). What's one of the oddest paid job you've had? Mine was probably as a reader for a medical professor at Rutgers, whose eyes were failing. I read him many academic texts, as well as Samuel Butler's "The Way of All Flesh."
Who is the creep on untappd who toasts me within five minutes every time I have a Miller High Life
Fell asleep watching a movie; had intricate dream that the player kept spitting out the Blu-ray so I left and checked into a hotel to see if the room had a player the disc would work in. Rained & had traffic problems on way. Woke up in real life, movie was still playing, and I’d missed 30 minutes.
