This, undoubtedly, the ugliest vehicle ever made.

A reminder that T. S. Eliot had the problems of today figured out 103 years ago in his essay and poetry collection "The Sacred Wood."

A federal jury in Nevada has awarded more than $34 million to a woman who was arrested at age 18, wrongly convicted twice, and served nearly 16 years in a Nevada state prison for a 2001 killing she did not commit.

Thinking about this chicken wing joint where I used to live called “Lord of the Wings." They had a sign in the window that said "Fry, you fools!" and they closed years ago but their top notch food punnery lives forever through me.

In Washington, DC, a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

The real luxuries in life.

I’ve been thinking, we need to bring back patrons. Like real ones who give writers and artists money to keep going why they create. Like in Renaissance Italy, but without the murder and persecution. Anyway, I’m available to be patronised, FYI

I found that I have been happier since I changed from coffee in the morning to orange juice. My doctor explained that it's the vitamin C and natural sugars, but I really think it's the vodka.

All I want for Christmas is for the media to add the Bluesky Butterfly "Share" button on each article beside the X, FB, and other buttons.

I wonder if it ever bums rage against the machine out that 90% of their listenership thinks their songs are about how guys who own parking lots or whatever shouldn't have to pay taxes

Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to thrive in the wild, free from fear and cruelty. 🦊 Killing them for sport is barbaric and senseless. Let’s protect their joy and beauty.

This is their goal. Privatize everything. And by “privatize” we mean steer billions to themselves and their friends, ending programs that serve those with the least under the guise of “efficiency”. Rural areas will suffer. Prices will rise. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is a Melanistic Fox one of the most beautiful and most rarest in the world.

As those who celebrate Christmas mark the season by watching the movie Die Hard, I wonder: Isn’t Die Hard also a Hanukkah movie, celebrating a small and brave band fighting for freedom against overwhelming odds? There’s one obvious indication: John McClane = JM= Judah Maccabee. 🤷‍♂️

[trying to discern which of my friends is a class traitor] so that CEO murder, huh? 👁️ 👁️

idk if it's just me but I don't get people who are so surprised that bluesky doesn't wanna moderate to protect trans people I don't expect any social media to be progressive

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

SIMPLY HAVING A

I just posted this on Twitter with no note. I'm conducting a little experiment. Results to follow.

Annual reminder: Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders. Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.

I don’t know why I’m still so pissed off that the answers to “what, where, and when” are “that, there, and then.”

I dunno David, showing sympathy for a group usually includes opposing state efforts to ban the healthcare that they need. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...

Friendly reminder that if art is how we decorate space, then music is how we decorate time. #booksky #music

When we bemoan the lack of boys and men in advanced English and writing classes, we ignore an educational culture that pushes STEM hard and a larger culture that pushes outsized money acquisition as the route to power and status.
