Makes sense.

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Holding two thoughts in my head, simultaneously. I can grieve the loss of another lovely coworker to ALS, while holding bittersweet gratitude that I had the time to speak my gratitude to him while he was alive. He knew, and that has to be enough.

Me: "oh, I haven't listened to this album in a while. Good memories. I remember seeing them do this live when the album came out" …TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Excuse me while I take some ibuprofen and sob at the passage of time

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

There's "I need new sneakers" and then there's "half of the word All-Star on my heel is worn away." Welp, I have new shoes now.

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

This is high art

due to the 47% tariffs on madagascar, vanilla sex is discontinued until further notice

Now there's a protest sign you don't see often.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

@mgifford.bsky.social I just saw this posting, and I wonder if you know anyone who might be interested? job-boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab/jobs/...

Green card holders detained. A French researcher denied entry for anti-Trump messages. A new travel ban on 40+ countries coming. Given all these encroachments on travelers' civil liberties, we've updated our guide to digital privacy while crossing US borders. www.wired.com/2017/02/guid...
