“Careful is my middle name,” THE BOB says as she waves her arms around and wobbles back and forth next to the stove.

Me and @zachrabiroff.com have discovered that a gay, disabled, pill-popping Yale Drama grad likely ghostwrote many of Stan Lee's most famous comics Marvel Comics and Disney don't want you to know about Ron Whyte New from @flaminghydra.com below "Face it tiger ... you just hit the jackpot!"

just imagine i took the time to find that headshot from the onion, you know the one

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

Area Dad Thrilled To Show Kid How It’s Done

So @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social did a writeup of Brad Lander's arrest today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, focusing not just on Lander's treatment, but the treatment of immigrants inside, both in the courtroom and once they are detained. prospect.org/justice/2025...

I’m saving 55 dollars by using dazzle camouflage on my face

I told THE BOB (age 4) about the python hunt in the Everglades a few days ago and she just now asked me if we could do “the snake scavenger hunt”

there's a lot of shitty stuff happening today but my wife just sent me a picture of my kid playing with one of my best friends since high school and his kid a public library event, and that's really fucking cool

Liz Bruenig doing some fucked up Warhammer 40k posting

Manifesting a Mets-Rays World Series

I was in target and phone sales guys were asking everyone who their cell provider was. one woman said "patriot mobile." the sales guy asked her what it was. "it's a phone company that doesn't support some things I don't want to support." which things ma'am??? anyway there is a market for this

nyt never beating the "the purpose of the nyt is to reinforce the status quo" allegations

9 years ago i was unemployed, had a cold, saw Mike O'Malley in Chinatown, and climbed a remade Aggro Crag.

SEAL Team 6 vs S Club 7

this is the stupidest thing i've ever made

Carl Hiaasen books

we make our KID and WIFE wait in the CAR while we buy a BUCKET and RATCHET SET from HARBOR FREIGHT (my daughter didn't want to get out, it's fine, it's fine)

Seeing journalists who previously worked at stricter legacy pubs now getting to post their opinions backed by the observable… a beautiful thing

incredible things are happening in China

I see we're filing and uploading stories on Friday, scheduling them to run over the weekend

a big day for police doing what they’re good at: rioting against peaceful protesters and letting killers escape

being able to hear the wheels on the Sherman tanks squeal on account of no one there is some incredible footage. A+ comedy.

Unfortunately I cannot support any candidate who holds an event in Manhattan’s worst venue, Terminal 5
