50 pages left in @shanders.bsky.social The Great Wherever and I have to be up in 5 hours…..so of course I’m going to stay up and finish it. Beautifully haunting story about family, legacy, and what draws the lost back.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

"Tsundoku" The habit of collecting books and letting them pile up, unread, while still cherishing the possibility of reading them one day. #booksky

If you work in a high school and your students are walking out for a righteous cause: Don’t get in their way, you’re going to look like an asshole

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I’m gonna need a @scalzi.com book about this little pink lemon planet post-haste.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management

It’s like they wake up every day and ask themselves “how can we make this place look even cheaper and tackier and less historic?”

Yes. Yes I do.

Translation: if Dems don’t cave this week, Donald Trump and Republicans are going to turn up the pain level on the American people. 📌 “The Schumer shutdown is likely to end sometime this week… if it doesn’t… the White House…will have to look at stronger measures…to bring them to the table.”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I have never wanted to throw away $300K on anything more in my life. Plus, the roof looks like it may be newer so….

I don't know if the Sotheby's agent wrote the description of this real estate listing, but if she did she deserves a raise. My intrusive thoughts: "how bad could it be? It doesn't look THAT bad. I could live there" (said minutes before I get rabies from a raccoon) www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

You found God at the corner of First and Amistad. I found Jesus in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. We are not the same.

BREAKING: A state court has again blocked enforcement of Missouri's abortion bans and certain restrictions targeting providers. This clears the way for providers to resume offering procedural abortion care in the state. We won't stop until everyone has access to the reproductive care they need.

Today I read the first 2/3 of @scalzi.com ‘s When the Moon Hits Your Eye, then took a break and checked in on what fresh hell may have been unleashed on our country. Noped right back offline and finished the book instead. Highly recommend this tactic (and this book) for reality avoidance.

Now when a moron asks me why I’m wearing a mask Ima just say Im an ICE agent so I can watch their brain melt.

He 100% doesn’t understand that buying food to prepare at home is a thing people actually “do”. Like it’s an old-fashioned concept to not eat every meal in a country club dining room, unrelated to level of privilege.

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

So who in Trump’s inner circle just bought Boeing stock?

PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakes.bsky.social · last yr.

And there it is folks. Qatar orders 160 Boeing aircraft. Trump gets 1 free $400M jet as his brokerage fee. Nothing to see here.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
