I’m listening to How Did This Get Made on “Tuff Turf” and cracking up over how grossed out Paul and June are over Jason Mantzoukas explaining how we had to take showers at school after gym in the ‘80s. Like, wtf did ‘90s kids do? Just go to class sweaty in your school clothes?

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Here, have something light and wholesome from MFM and @exactlyright.bsky.social and the amazing Nick Terry. (RIP the handle of my Cocaine Bear mug.)

If you haven't yet seen this doc about the remarkable lesbian activist Sally Gearhart, you must do so immediately! www.sallygearhartfilm.com?ss_source=ss...

Was lucky enough to sit next to her on a flight many years ago. So much fun. Joyful and hilarious. Much respect and love to a great comedian. RIP Ruth Buzzi

Few more photos of the launch last night for THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET! (my hair was, for once, behaving itself)

Meet Link and Nova! Orphaned in the wild in November and brought to the zoo by WDFW, these cougar cubs are exploring their outdoor habitat and getting plenty of play time.

Very curious. Screen grab time stamp is 3:17. This showed up in my phone’s news feed that you get when you swipe left from home page. (Finger goes left to right, new display appears from left. Is that swipe left or right?)

Ok, the Icy Hot I put on my feet tonight is fucking up my cat. What is in that stuff?

The Trump administration's "firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

It’s worth noting that WinRed, the Republican equivalent of ActBlue, was sued by multiple states for automatically enrolling users into recurring donations without disclosing that. Trump is not investigating WinRed. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

TIL I've been missing out on this awesome feature!

Along the Pacific Northwest, amongst the coastal Redwoods, lies the most prehistoric roadside attraction you've ever laid eyes on! Enjoy scenic Raptor Cliff's, coming to Walkabout Mini Golf on May 1st!

RFK jr may be the most dangerous member of this administration

I was browsing an online collection of Alice Austen photos and ran across this. Of course I thought of @catsofyore.bsky.social. Metadata for photo: E. Alice Austen, [Cat on old wisteria vine at Clear Comfort], ca. 1900

Not me. A young person posting on Reddit. I feel for him. Canton is not the place to be queer and stuck there. gofund.me/aec5a158

My thoughts on SINNERS and BITTER ROOT.

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

Government under Trump has become so invasive, there are now articles in legacy papers about how to protect information on your cell phone when you are a US citizen traveling back into the United States from a vacation. This is scary stuff. amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Last night I had a possum visit who glowed a soft pink instead of the hot pink/magenta that most of the others glow in UV light.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

My fav sticker co is Sticker Guy. I'm ordering some right now because there's a special for black ink on black vinyl. There's also purple on yellow. And the latest email had a 5% coupon that expires today: SPUXEDEFSPSU TL;DR Sticker Mule sucks and has sucked for years and there are LOTS of options.

This Guardian article includes (without credit) an apparent regurgitation of my detailed thread from months ago about Praxis (a Thiel-backed self-professed “network state”), Greenland, & Denmark ambassador Ken Howery (a partner of Peter Thiel). At least the MSM is picking it up. 1/

Follow this one closely. If Mr. Mahdawi is not granted due process, none of us can count on it.

I am relieved that Governor Josh Shapiro and his family are safe and unharmed following this horrific attack, and I am thankful for the rapid response of our first responders. Political violence in any form is unacceptable and has no place in our society.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Really looking forward to this read. Got my copy Thursday! “If The Stars Are Lit” @skateellis.bsky.social

ALL MILITARY MEMBERS: If ordered to violate the constitutional rights of ANY American citizen, think twice, in under 4 years, there will be another administration to judge and prosecute your actions. Legal vs. illegal - Think before acting!

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in a letter shared with members, has requested a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Speaker Mike Johnson on the budget.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Just snoozing.

It’s weird that the occasional blocks I get are often people I might not follow but would probably like and promote their art, have same political alignment, and are often also non binary. I can’t figure out what in my TL would be a deal killer for those accounts.

ok so!!! something I found really interesting after talking to Korean protesters was... well, it was actually me realizing something about protest in the US: protest is trapped in an unwinnable spiral about "peaceful" versus "violent" protest, and even people who know it's dumb can't break free

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

I worked in a chair factory one summer in college in the finishing department. We couldn’t use fans because sawdust would get in the drying varnish. It was a tin roof building. There was a guy called stumpy who’d cut all the fingers off one hand on the job in assembly.
