After Act I of Jesus Christ Superstar the man seated next to me said to his companion, perplexed, “I thought there would be roller skating”
sometimes I do just want to walk into the sea (this is a nut milk company. But they have to call it “milked nuts” because of the dairy industry which makes it all way sillier)
The president’s Marine One helicopter took off from the White House Tuesday afternoon, but air-traffic controllers hadn’t halted commercial flights at nearby Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as required under safety protocols.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Liam Knox@liamknox.bsky.social · 2d agoScoop: The Trump administration is sending a letter to college presidents asking them to pledge a series of policy changes by the end of the year. Unlike last year's Compact, this effort was devised with input from higher ed leaders. Free link to my exclusive: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I’m much more afraid of people not from here walking around with guns than I am of any of my neighbors the delusion they want me living in is that my neighbors are to be feared
Musicology Duck@musicologyduck.bsky.social · 2d agolike I cannot emphasize enough how far away I am from federal buildings, the monuments, etc. one man’s delusions means this is what our residential neighborhoods look like

Sen. Bernie Moreno (paraphrased): On second thought, now that it's clear this is making me personally look awful, I say domestic abuse, lying about it, and failing basic standards of character like that has no place in the Republican Party, except at the top, and some other places too. Thank you.
