This is such a fucking *beauuuuuutiful* coda to a funny, surreal, moving, quietly devastating micro-Odyssey contained within @kylerseibel.bsky.social's exquisitely-crafted story, 'What Happens to Those Coyotes?'. I've re-read it 6 times, now, and each time it catches my breath. #HeyYouAssholes

Mädchen Amick just shared this photo of herself and Dana Ashbrook on the set of The Return for Twin Peaks’ 35th anniversary and it singed my eyebrows right off

"you just got played by the owners of capital" has never been an easier thing to explain and yet people are still - somehow - baffled.

491 minutes of one dimensional caricatures and turgid, stagnating plot and Belinda didn't even get caught in a crossfire. What a monumental waste of time. #TheWhiteLotus #Season3 #Finale

This beautifully-written section from @kylerseibel.bsky.social's story, #DirtyLincoln, had me guffawing & spluttering my train-beer on the way back to my hometown today. But by the end of the story, I was no longer laughing, the two-word closing sentence catching my breath 😬🔥 #HeyYouAssholes

It's exhausting just knowing Janice Turner exists. She's also just made these numbers up, as she writes, "My figures in brackets are estimates"

He's hard to love, Streeting, isn't he? By which I mean he's easy to hate. By which I mean easy to hate like Tories were, and are, easy to hate. Money-raddled, unprinciples, shameless mediocrities I hope his comeuppance is suitably dramatic.

as usual the story here is that a cisgender woman got caught in the crossfire rather than that walmart will just fire someone for the crime of being trans.

Here's the most interesting caterpillar I've met in the last few years. Found this Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar on top of a stack of old roofing tiles in the sun in 2022. She wandered off not long after this.

The group chat screengrabs are so embarrassing. Emojis, whoops, back-slapping? Over people being killed? When our world leaders murder people with millions of dollars worth of weapons they should be celebrating with professional political words, we need to get back to THAT!
