My captain, my king

Anyone else have an #AmericanBulldog that sighs dramatically all the time

Pour bleach down the heating vent to get rid of dust, gotcha

Reminder to everyone who signed up for our bird walk, it’s just a regular hike around the park, but you’re expected to walk like a bird.

It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

Front cover of all major British papers today: Make It Fair is a campaign warning about the threat generative AI poses to creative industries by scraping content without permission. Also calling out the government for siding with big tech over creators

After managing to elude and bamboozle him for centuries via a trail of false clues and wildly elaborate sidesteps, it would appear that I have finally been tracked down by one of The Galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters.

i’m never going to see any of the money i’ve had taken from my paychecks for 25 years

If we've achieved nothing else, we'd like to think Collins Watch has helped get this fact out there --> "Your voting history suggests you only oppose nominees like Kash Patel when your party has the numbers to confirm them anyway....You are complicit in the coup currently taking place." #MEpolitics

This little flag has survived being stuck in the porch for the entire winter including through all the storms. Real rugged allyship from Slugger

It's amazing how much of the support for Donald Trump and grievance politics comes down to "if I have to interact with people different than me in public life without using slurs I'd rather burn the whole country down."

We teamed up with our friends @equalitymaine.bsky.social to build this primer for trans allies: take a look! Take notes! Take it in! And above all, take action. You will literally save lives by integrating these simple --but not always easy-- practices. If you got us, you got this. 👏🏼 1/2

I love leaving voice mails for my senators where I say things like "the USPS is very important to our country" as if I'm helping a small child with a book report or describing our civilization to an alien

Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.

US foreign adversaries

timothy dalton is an eternally underrated actor imo

Every House Republican just voted to defund Medicaid. Reminder: there are no moderate Republicans in Congress, and stop pretending there are.

Fun fact about Medicaid, folks who aren't really into politics don't necessarily know that they are using Medicaid. A shocking number of folks in Maine don't know that they use Medicaid; they use "MaineCare", unaware it's the same program. 62-90% of MaineCare is federally funded. #mepolitics

At this point if Trump appointed his horse to a cabinet position I'd be like "you know what, at least it doesn't tweet"

Three hardest things for a man to say: 1: I need help 2: I was wrong 3: Worcestershire Sauce

If these men whining about traditional masculinity wanted real heroes they would glom onto Zelensky. But no, they prefer their masculinity avatars to play golf (Trump),have lots of money (Elon), traffic women (Tate, allegedly), lie unashamedly(Trump & Elon), & celebrate cruelty (Trump & Elon).

Wife and I just went up Taj's new location (next to Plato's Closet) and somehow the curry has gotten EVEN BETTER

Stay mad and cry more, dweebs. We're here, we're queer, some of us play sports.

At least there's SOME good news www.pressherald.com/2025/02/20/t...

I know this isn't the most important thing right now but this is the coolest name ever

Maine Governor Janet Mills: "Today, the President of the United States has targeted one particular group on one particular issue which Maine law has addressed. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?"

The American dream was always about being as xenophobic to immigrants as people were to your grandparents
