Of all the things to admit on the internet, “I don’t know how bananas work” is one of the funniest

Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

#vomit #emetophobia You know, I really did not have ‘g way posting on a vomit kink aol forum in 1998’ on my bingo card

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

How is today still happening.

You don't really need a reason to stock up on Penzey's spices, which are AMAZING, but they happen to be having a sale www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/...

content note for sexual abuse. glad people are talking about it. sigh

Thoughts on the dead singer. Yesterday, my middle aged straight hairy biker son went on one on social media about the dead singer and those eulogising him. He did not hold back. What was unusual was that he took to social media to vent knowing it would attract vile bile. I asked him why.

Another rough day! Need the break I was supposed to get today! Not getting it! Fuck.

Having a hard annoying frustrating day. Whine.

The Frames’ Set List got me through so much in college. What a loss.

Oh, my God. Nicest guy. Was on the Pogues bill at Carnegie with him. His love of music was palpable, infectious, radiant. I’ve seldom seen a musician as connected to the moment of the song as he was that night, in deep communion with the song & the people playing it. So many felt it. Hard loss.

Not only is he a smoking hot abolitionist who was assassinated for refusing orders to massacre indigenous folks, he "befriended Walt Whitman" according to his Wikipedia page which ABSOLUTELY means they fucked

Remembering Silas Soule, born OTD in 1838. American abolitionist, conductor on the Underground Railroad, military officer, and hero for disobeying orders to participate in Sand Creek Massacre and then giving evidence against his commander. Murdered 1865. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silas_S...

Nobody asked, but On paper, Roys and Hong have similar platforms, similar state leg experience Hong polling 10x as high suggests she's campaigning harder, and that's a valuable qualification going into the general election If Roys had 10x the support of Hong, I'd be saying the same about her

Fuckkkkkkk I just watched The Pitt ep 01.08 and I am crying soooo much jfc

Snuck a viewing of Hadestown in this morning before the kids came home. It was SO good. I’d never seen it and only listened a bit so it was fairly fresh for me

Partner and I just watched Pillion, maybe the least sexy kink movie ever made xxxxx

Roommate is definitely moving out. Which means I *definitely* need a new housemate. Boston locals! Come live in my big lovely 3br 1ba house! It's so much space and the neighborhood is beautiful!

RESPECTFUL pump'n'dump@yellingbob.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Welp. Roommate says she's likely not resigning the lease in August. Boston area people, if you know anyone looking, this is quite a nice setup for very cheap considering the space available + current housing market, plus new insulation should drastically reduce future bills. Signal boosts welcome!

I’m feeling just so fucking sad today. Can everyone tell me your favorite album? I just got a record player and want to start appreciating The Album instead of The Algorithm of streaming. It can be recent or old, any genre. Would be particularly interested in indie artists in hip hop and rap spaces

Rest in Power Corey Durell Ruiz. You were taken before your time to murder by the state. We are grieving as a community, and showing up to support those most affected. An ongoing vigil is holding the intersection of Baldwin and Willy, with a large gathering at 5PM. We keep us safe.

I was an extremism researcher for years, and set a rule years ago to not watch videos of people being killed. I violated that today and already regret it. You don't have to watch to know what happened. Watching is traumatic, even if you don't realize it. You don't want more mental trauma.

maybe turn off autoplay or mute some key words on this one. it is unequivocally an execution. i've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin, I love it a lot there. stay safe everybody, I'm so sorry.

#policeviolence #racism fuck, the fucking madison cops wrestled a guy to the ground and then shot him 3 times (some reports say fatally) in broad daylight on Willy St by the co-op. This is so fucked up.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

I'm so enraged I didn't post this

#politics I’ve known Francesca Hong for years. Not super well but people I know well have known her well for years too. She’s the real deal and if we can just get her into the governor’s seat, she will give Wisconsin the Mamdani treatment and we will all be so much better for it.

Me going to Detroit next month to hang with the besties and catch a show

Ughhhh today we are selling books at a big event and I’m Strest.

Hey, y'all, the dangerous lettuce is from Taylor Farms, and they supply to a lot of places! Be mindful of what you eat!

DW@dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 3w ago

Right. Taylor Farms supplies McDonalds, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Chipotle, Subway, Burger King, Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe’s, Aldi and so on. Any of them could have contaminated lettuce. Just because taco bell got unlucky and was traced first doesn’t mean all the headlines should refer to them by name.
