Happy International Day of the Potato! A Latvian phrase similar to “liar, liar, pants on fire” is the rhyming melis, melis, kartupelis. It means “liar, liar, potato!” Read on for more international idioms (and some rehashed jokes) about potatoes (a thread)…

the Free Press taking shots at Tony Bourdain's grave ...

One of these days my husband will learn not to ask me what is happening on the internet.

The next episode is soon, boosting this for a couple of reasons. 1) If you don't watch YouTube, this is a good time to start. You'd enjoy this show. We have fun with politics. 2) Either way, please like and subscribe! It boosts us and helps us compete with the right-wingers who dominate YouTube.

Happy Rite of Spring debut anniversary! Today you should riot if you hear any weird dissonant music or see any dancing that resembles "ugly earthbound lurching and stomping." Let's observe this holiday properly!

The asteroid thing was like 12 real-time hours ago and it feels like five online years

hey everybody i was on the exercise bike for a bit, what did I miOH GOD!!!!

How did the Media Throuple goss get dethroned this quickly

Come on, and kiss me, Kate.

You will want to be there.

Excited to finally announce that I have been chosen as one of the 25 for @poynterinstitute.bsky.social new Leadership Academy for @salonnewsroom.bsky.social ! www.poynter.org/news-release...

holy crap www.criterion.com/boxsets/8208...

Holly Gibney is by far my favorite Stephen King character, and it's always a delight to read a new Holly story. "Never Flinch" is proof that just because you're anxious as all hell, that doesn't mean you're not capable and brave, often more than most.

It’s the MOST wonDERFUL tiiiime of the YEAR

(benmont tench is my personal favorite heartbreaker, whoops)

TBD?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWEG...

I saw three shows in the same week where the operative instrument was a piano, starting with Benmont effing Tench.

sometimes it seems like people want to get published like it will Solve Their Problems and I just want to confirm that after you publish they don't give you a new childhood, you still have to live with yourself, it's just that some of that self is on display this month at a Review

@carynrose.bsky.social on Benmont Tench, Heartbreaker and so much more, and the keepers of rock history's sacred duty to play the hits www.salon.com/2025/05/27/b...

Every time someone says it's impossible to keep up with what's on streaming -- and it is! -- I wonder if they know about this website, which I find INVALUABLE. www.justwatch.com

Raising a glass to my Aunt Reg, who should be celebrating her birthday after spending the holiday weekend opening the Sisters of Charity retreat center down the shore for the season. I think a lot about what seems to be coming to an end: American nuns living quietly radical lives for their times.

Extremely bad news for historians, genealogists, librarians, students, and well, everybody

Happy Birthday to Amelia Bloomer! She would be 207 today, and appalled at how relevant her arguments still are for the legal and social rights of women, and all genders.

BREAKING: NPR & public radio stations sue Trump over funding halts, argue such moves are an unconstitutional attempt to retaliate against the network because he doesn't like its content. Lead counsel: stymied GWBush DC Cir nominee Miguel Estrada. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

RFK is using his family name as cover, but make no mistake: the MAHA movement is class warfare against working people. The restrictions on the COVID-19 vaccine make sure only well-resourced people can get it. Busy working people will just get sick. www.salon.com/2025/05/27/t...

Today’s the day: ‘Amplitudes’ is here!! Several of our contributors pitched in on this set of sneak-previews of their stories over at @lgbtqreads.bsky.social — check it out (and then maybe go pick up the book yeah? ✨)

Bluesky is dying because we escaped the collapse of Twitter and now Death is picking us all off one by one

"I believe the American dream has become a pyramid scheme." Fascinating look at why, perhaps, Trump was inevitable.

The counterrevolution to Me Too was so swift and so effective and while there were several key reasons why it is depressing to think how much of “Me Too went too far” amounted to when u boil it down: Some articles pissed me off

There are whole movies that don’t have the twists and turns of this paragraph.

NOUVELLE VAGUE is going straight to Netflix? Boooooooooooooooooo.
