Nobody wants a little statue to get cold.

“Take and eat; this is my body.” - The Ueckarist

Having a listen to London Calling today. How prescient is Guns of Brixton? When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun? When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row?

May the fourth be with you...

Pretty stoked. When I left Twitter I could never find one of my favorite follows, here on Bsky. Pithinthewind is here, @betsyphillips.bsky.social . Immediately added.

Jazz fest 2025 food diary: Cochon de lait Crawfish Monica Shrimp poboy Crawfish strudel Boudin balls Mango freeze Fest well done.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

In case you’re not familiar, there is a recent documentary on selecting the new Pope. It’s called The Conclave. Check it out.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

When you think of the core of American politics as a large collection of individuals who have enough social, political, and financial capital to speak up against despotism but don't wanna spend that capital because they're hoping someone else will, it all really starts to make sense.
