I could spend all day watching those videos of pets using those word pad buttons to talk to their humans. The dog ones are always like “Treat! Play! Walk! Kiss! Love! Treat! Love! Play!” And the cat ones are like “Food. Now. *glare* *glare* *glare* Mad. Mad. Mad.”

A man stirs the pot. “It’s a metaphor,” he says. The frog is sweating. The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature. “He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs. All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

Vegas showin' all the love for Syd! 🫶

Just saw a woman on the sidewalk blitz past a Cuomo canvasser talking about “I can’t vote here! I’m from Genovia!” He was like “Oh okay, have a good day.” And then he tried to stop a woman going in the other direction, and she goes “Nope. Also Genovia.” 😂🍐👑

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

I love in video games when characters are like “But he gave me his word!” And the person who gave their word is named like Advar the Cruel Deceiver.

One of my favorite things about NYC is every time a Cybertruck gets into trouble (stuck in 1/2” of snow, getting towed, getting a parking ticket) there’s always a whole crowd of people standing around giggling and taking photos.

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

Man, Lisa Leslie would've had us all in the boom boom room cheering on this performance by Shakira Austin. #wnba #Mystics

Jonquel Jones reposting this tells me it is 100% correct. 🙂‍↕️

I am so hype to be working with Delfi this summer! She's already out here doing international Long COVID reporting and making charts about RFK's vaccine chaos! You can give her a follow over on IG: www.instagram.com/delfimarchese/

I finally figured it out! The Dr. Chilly ice ring *under* the portable neck fan. ($25 total for the full contraption.) I wore it out for my errands today in the ten thousand degree humidity and my ears actually got cold. TAKE THAT HEAT INTOLERANT POTS!!!!

The IOC and FIFA should pull the Olympics and World Cup from us immediately.

“Recent policy changes around COVID-19 vaccines are already sowing chaos and confusion and restricting vaccine access — including for people who should still be eligible to receive them.” I wrote about RFK Jr’s anti-vax chaos for @thesicktimes.bsky.social. thesicktimes.org/2025/06/19/t...

Seeing reports of ICE going to restaurants in Brooklyn so wanted to note some guidance I’ve heard from sources while working on an update to this piece (which itself will be updated next week) www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

“We’ll take our Switch to play in the waiting room. Then, as soon as it’s over, we’ll get pancakes and maybe a new coloring book at Walgreen’s when we pick up our prescriptions and then we’ll come home and have a nice nap.” - me, a middle age woman, pep talking myself to not be afraid of the doctor

I post my "Bluesky is dying" article on Twitter and sit back smugly as it's shown to 274 of my 80,000 followers, receiving two likes, on retweet, and an anime avatar called lolitas1488 telling me my inferior skullshape means I belong in the camps.

It’s protect trans youth all day every day in this house. 🩵🩷🤍

It's a Tuesday in June, so it's time for another installment of Media Mayhem! Today, we're talking BOOKS. Here are all 23 books I've read so far this year (and three I finished after I published my end-of-year roundup last year) and a mini review of each! valerieanne.substack.com/p/book-repor...

My grandmother gave me the greatest gift I think I’ll ever receive in my whole life today. She was talking about the sermon from her church this week. And then she said — my *grandmother* said! — “When I think about wisdom and kindness, I think about you.” 🥹

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...
