What's a picture you've taken that shows a real testament to public policy? My fav is the Hollywood sign directly between the spans of the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge, taken 2 miles off the coast. That's 27 miles away! 2 decades ago you wouldn't even been able to the mountains.

This is the godliest damn funny thing I’ve seen in a good long while
There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this
My male boss, who I wrote this about, gave me unsolicited feedback about what would have made it funnier.
Captain Ahab, woman, cries out, “From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale.” First mate Starbuck replies, “You’re being super emotional about this whale. Maybe wait before making any decisions?"

It is pretty funny to do "the Dodgers are unstoppable" discourse on a weekend where they might be swept by a team kept afloat by the AL being just dogshit

Hey this my friend Elena! You should read her free substack (collective Bluesky booos). Her articles are detailed, well written, and links sources on homeschooling, trad life, and Christian Nationalism and how it starts in niche corners and trickles into legislation (collective Bluesky yaaays!).

A great look at what these White Nationalists are getting up to and how far their reach is. This is a major problem and will only get worse as time goes on.
Okay now this year they again have a chance to do the funniest thing
The Dodgers have a chance to do the funniest thing next season
“Heading to the 1920s? Gonna kill Hitler?” Uh, sure, I reply as I cover up the portable DVD player I’m planning to use to show Rudyard Kipling TaleSpin.
Threads is like a party with a gas leak. Bluesky is like a party at a millennial retirement home where a lib vs leftist new channel plays on every TV 24/7. Twitter is like a party where you slowly realize almost every song is a Kanye song post-Yeezus.
One of the worst parts about being chronically depressed is that if you kill yourself by accidentally leaving your gas stove on for 24 hours everyone will think it’s a suicide instead of understanding that you’re really just a doofus.

Moby-Dick was a major commercial failure. Melville’s next book, Pierre, tanked even worse. A year later he writes Bartleby, about a clerk who, at first, writes prodigiously until he suddenly stops, becomes uninterested in writing, lives in the office, and is so depressed he dies of starvation.
BEING PAID,—what will compare with it?
If you’re going to email me late on a Friday, this is the only subject line I will tolerate.
