Heywood you stay the hell out of kids' pants, you perverts? As someone who played junior high sports IN WASHINGTON, the absolute last thing I'd have worried about is a trans kid in our league. I'd have been happy to have them in the sport like a normal freaking kid!
"It’s unbelievable to subject kids to these kinds of invasive medical exams that have no basis in health or safety. One of my daughters is a rising fourth-grader, and she played a sport last year. Are you going to ask a fourth-grader to undergo this?” s/o @momsrising.org

I'm getting too damn many election flyers in my mailbox. Can I get them to stop? I did a double-take at this one coming from a "Count on Connecticut" PAC based out of, kid you not, a random house in San Antonio. Buddy, that hacked-off shrub deserves more of your attention than my mailbox.
👎🤖 🤮 indeed. Mandates to use a theftbot **for things it sucks at** at work are especially ridiculous. I keep screaming the thing about spreadsheets: you know you can just use the formula features to get numbers that will actually be correct, right?

Oh look, it's the Yeti co-founder's bunch: www.glo.texas.gov/about-glo/pr... May he forever be remembered as a backstabbing fake-outdoorsman and grift-machine collaborator who betrayed everyone who enjoys Texas' southernmost public lands. "Trans Pecos Ice" deserves to get its damn lease yanked.

I know my birthday was last month, but I, a notorious cone killer in every cone-based car event I enter, will gladly accept a belated present: www.bolognasandwichglass.com/product/stai...
Stained Glass Cone Vase Panel
Just another peek inside my mind (and living room?). This playful panel panel features a fused cone bouqet of yellow roses with hand painted and kiln fired details. The bevels surrounding the cone are...

This entire plan for roads and walls through Big Bend—blowing through Mariscal Mountain and other untouched spots in the national park and more—is so horrifying that it's unreal: www.facebook.com/reel/1514094...

More of this, please. I only want to see clout-chasing corporate cringe from real humans! If you can't spin breaking a nail into a 600-word novella on why you work 7 days a week for peanuts, are you even linked-in?
LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

I didn't think it was possible to hate these companies even more than I already did, but here we are, I guess. Vile. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/a...

Man, I thought my old neighbor's busted pool pump was bad. That completely disrupted my ability to tolerate using my office in the back corner of the house whenever that dagblasted hum started going again. These scumbag crypto mines and data centers emit an ***even more annoying sound*** 24/7.
This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”
🫡 Glad to be of cheese-viewing service. (I've been slacking on my Cheese of the Day posts, but I've been tossing my phone on do-not-disturb at work to get more crap done without falling too far into the depression abyss when I have to get stuff done.)
Big fan of smoked gouda but currently I'm on a havarti kick. I also love getting fed cheese posts on Instagram and seeing that @hoonofthe.day has already liked them.
I have no idea what discourse is discoursing right now, but I would absolutely destroy a slice of Blu '61 or the Fromager d'Affinois with garlic and herbs. Maybe we could do a fondue and queso flight? If that's not a thing, it should be one.
People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

I'm a little disappointed that no one's ever asked me this!
