Being too damned chatty, honestly.
They say black magic doesn't exist but this being figured out in under an hour is reason to believe otherwise for me.

Smol Paul and his new sidekick Smolla Paula: the wobbly monochrome partnership in crime we all need right now. Thank you so much for contributing to our fundraiser so we could make this happen -- I can't stop laughing at their little faces!
Christine Johnson@christinkallama.bsky.social · 23h agoHooray! Congrats to all the organizations and volunteers and neighbors who worked so hard to dispell the false advertising backed by dark money that was poured into the "yes" campaigns for amendments 4 and 5. Now on to defeat Amendment 3 in the November elections! #StopTheBan
What are your favorite polite ways to attempt to get out of conversations? I fall back on waiting for a slight pause and then 'Well anyway' about every time but I wouldn't mind expanding my vocabulary in this sense.
Never a bad time to re-read this, and the whole thing fits in one skeet.

Primary Election Day is Tuesday in Missouri. This is when they put the screwiest stuff on the ballot VOTE NO ON 4 AND 5 Protect Missouri Votes and keep sales tax lower. Both of these hand power to Jeff City is doesn't need.
This thread is amazing, and keeps going on and on and on. Even if nothing else was going on Ms. Tewson's grandmother is impressive for not jumping up and shivving the lawyer asking the questions. It's just 'I know what I'm talking about, you clearly don't' over and over again.
Kathryn Tewson@kathryntewson.bsky.social · 3d agoI have just been sent the transcript of a deposition my grandmother gave in 1977 while she was serving as an expert witness in a series of tribal rights cases and let me tell you, if nothing else this is proof that I come by it honest for every conceivable value of “it”
I really wanna go back to the days when headlines were like 'Will Smith slaps Chris Rock after joke about his wife.' That's the level of silly I can deal with I've decided, this is too far.

Kory Bing@korybing.bsky.social · 4d agoToday I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.
It'll always kill me that the industry chewed up and spat out Katie Nolan. We've got this incredibly funny, smart, sane person who knows what she's talking about and just cannot find any use for her.
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing.bsky.social · 5d agoI don't know if this is actually true or if he was just making it up. But my favorite 'coach please talk to your players' moment if true story is Nick Lowery tried one at the end of a half and didn't know he was supposed to kick it through the uprights so he just boomed it through the end zone.
Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz · 4d agoYES YES YES YES YES please do not inform me of any other rule changes which I'm sure were not passed and which will in no way make the game worse
In the past two weeks I have locked my keys in the car and lost a credit card somewhere. Both things are fine in the end, but both things are 'you are the dumbest man to ever walk the earth' territory when you do them.
Four adults (30s-40s?) are standing in a circle talking about elections and cost of living. Meanwhile a small human (4?) is standing in the middle, impersonating them magnificently with a scowly face, hands on hips. Murmuring the word: "Wrong wrong wrong" in a grumpy voice. She's got the idea! (3)
No matter where you end up on this issue (I tend to agree with Dan) a Manson family thread is always a good read.
Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social · 5d agoI am going to say something that is going to sound crazy at first: one sign of how little Gavin Newsom cares about doing the right thing, as opposed to doing the things he needs to do for a doomed presidential race, is how he has handled the Manson Family. Let me explain.
I will eat the 1.5 ton torta. Try me.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 6d agoThe Guinness World Record for the world's largest serving of sandwiches arranged in a continuous line was set at the International Torta Fair in Mexico City. The giant record-breaking torta stretched 328 feet and weighed more than 1.5 tons.
Oh came up with a good baseball injury. Jose Guillen put himself on the DL doing surgery on himself to try to treat an ingrown toenail and he just cut the hell out of himself. Jose there were people on the staff available who would have helped you I'm sure.
I like that I was gonna remember someone cutting themselves with a knife but this has happened way too many times to be specific about any of them. Baseball guys just love to go on the DL from failing to chop veggies.
Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · 5d agoLet's remember some Baseball Injuries! I'll go first: Glenallen Hill having a nightmare about spiders that was so bad he fell out of bed and through a glass table

I don't know why but I'm just smirking along with these three women from 1980 Moscow this morning looking at this picture.

I don't know what it is but I *love* clips of '70s movies car chases. Just boxes of cars with giant engines sometimes driving on like, live streets without telling anyone for the film.

End of a goddamned era. I mean, I don't know how to describe that era exactly, but I thought it would last a couple of years at most. This headline I found elsewhere is not...inaccurate? I'll remember the saga of Taysom Hill at least. I remember lots of stuff.
