"...and I like it"

Releasing this decision on the last day of Pride is a deliberate act of cruelty toward transgender Americans. Today, SCOTUS helped codify sweeping overreach into law.

Kelsey Grammer says he has ‘wrestled’ with the idea of running for political office. He regrets not fighting in Vietnam, and sees politics as a way to give back.

DR Congo's iconic supporter Michel Mboladinga took his place in the stands again for the match against Colombia. Known for portraying Congo's anti-imperialist symbol Patrice Lumumba in the stands, Mboladinga had missed his team's first match in the United States due to visa issues.

There's maybe four cars like this on my block, and while that's how I know I live in the right place.... isn't some of this text a little small for a bumper sticker? How's another driver supposed to read this stuff

Who's got two thumbs and commissioned a custom bookplate from his favorite cartoonist? I am presently sticking these in every book I own (i ordered 1,000)

The Hermit from the tarot deck, alone on a lofty peak, raises his lantern to greet the first rays of the rising sun. Except instead of the sun it's a boob. Text: "Ex Libris Lavallee"

Did you know that @mayorjakewilson.bsky.social has proposed adding $430k/yr to the Police budget to start a bodycam program both A) before having any civilian oversight, and B) during a budget year in which he's asked the Schools to identify $1M in cuts? Tell your neighbors. See what they think.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Tell me about a part, a moment, a time stamp in a song that has you like this.

Alfred Molina’s drug dealer character from Boogie Nights (PT Anderson, 1997) hushing the room “wait wait wait” with index fingers extended because his favorite part of “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger is coming up.

The house where I lost my virginity was torn down this year and I'm losing my fucking mind about it. Now I can't prove it

When I'm feeling low I get on to Google maps and revisit the houses where I've had sex. And relive the memories in my mind. I'm in my 50s so it's quite a long list. But, I always go back to the flat in Morley, Leeds, where I had a FWB thing . Great fun. Really lifts my mood.
