Video clip from today's race! This was about 2 miles in and we were a little tired. Human only wiped out twice! Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!

Cat semaphoring A Psalm of Life to the world in general (Edward Gorey, 1982) #Gorey100 #Caturday

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I dislike how airport fiction will always throw out and reboot the lady romance out the window and bring in someone new for the next story. From Indiana Jones to Bourne to Bond to Reacher to Bad Monkey

A Polish acquaintance went to British Museum specifically to see this tablet only to be cheated by Ea-nasir from beyond the grave

Bad Monkey was in fact very enjoyable, even for me, an avowed Vince Vaughn hater.

A ketamine-addled billionaire and five pre-pubescent incels will review every email. This is like his line by line code review idea only somehow stupider.

'William Morris & Art from the Islamic World', exhibition at the William Morris Art Gallery, Walthamstow, until 9 March.

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

He planted the flower seeds. “Now seeds,” said Toad, “start growing.”

brief thread. since we focus on the role of local institutions at Bolts, one thing we knew we wanted to do when Trump won was: ramp up our reporting on how local law enforcement is responding — & why it matters. it's still early days — but some important articles from our team as patterns emerge:

The mail woman just walked through an active parade to deliver mail on the other side of the street and I cannot imagine wanting to cut money from that service.

a classic cat show moment

I serve on a public library board (nearly 8 years now). It matters more than you know to have a variety of viewpoints even in nonpartisan positions.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!

Louisiana belongs to the people—not special interests. And NOT lil Landry. These amendments threaten our future, and we can’t afford to sit this one out. Vote NO on all 4! 🐊

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

"Shut the fuck up" applies to pictures, too.

The moral of Dracula is “putting together a polycule is harder than you might think.” The moral of Frankenstein is “maybe don’t have a baby.”

Two. That’s how many House Republicans Bernie is attempting to peel off from Trump and Musk’s “one big beautiful bill” that cuts Medicaid and delivers tax cuts for the rich. That’s why he’s visiting the districts of Rep. Bacon and Rep. Miller-Meeks. Similar visits to come!

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

There is a makeup item I want to swatch, but if I go to Sephora and encounter hyper tweens, I shall walk into the sea. This is very easy because my nearest Sephora is Emeryville, right on the San Francisco Bay.

Happy Spring Training to all who celebrate

Cornflakes and community

My not online husband came home from the bodega and said, “they were out of eggs for breakfast sandwiches,” and I solemnly responded, “Ohhh, because Trump take egg,” which he did not understand.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

My cat Bobbie just stole a piece of lettuce from my salad and tried to eat it. She then spit it out in disgust and looked at me like it was my fault. I don’t have a photo of her with the lettuce, but here is one of her yesterday looking real guilty when I caught her sticking a dirty paw in my tea.
