Hey, if you live in or near the #Waretown #NJ area, please check in. Worried about my fellow Jerseyans.

Yep, still here. Not sure why but, yeah.

23andme is declaring bankruptcy so i got a great deal on all of your dna samples

Why is every doctor's scale a fuggin' LIAR?

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Sometimes I lose myself peeling vegetables and before I know it I’ve built a cruck-framed cottage in the West Country with a thatched roof of long straw and a limewashed wall the color of poached salmon

The first rule of fight club is on Wednesdays we share a secret

Gene Hackman auditioned for and almost got the part of Mike Brady in THE BRADY BUNCH. There better be an option in heaven to watch all 117 of those episodes.

Drained, Chester sat down and waited for the police to arrive. Staring at Alan’s still-warm body laying among the empty shells, he felt no remorse. There were two sacred rules. You didn’t touch another man’s wife, or another man’s nuts. His ears perked up as the sound of sirens rose in the distance.

Cats will act as social workers for their own adoption cases. One day they just show up on your doorstep and are like, “You got a cat? No? OK, well you do now. What’s for lunch?”

A Predator movie where the Predator shows up in Washington DC, but gets all bummed because there are no spines for him take as a trophy.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

I’m not doomscrolling I’m just desperately sucking the marrow from the bones of hope

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans" hits different now.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Stick it notes on their nips to remind you they also need attention.

Trying to decide how much PTO to set aside this year for the revolution.

They screwed this all up.

What was the point of winning WWII and the Cold War, just to have Trump give everything away to fascists and Russia?

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I'm ready to give up on Bluesky. Twitter became too alt right and hate filled but I see similar unhinged viewpoints from people here. Everything Trump says is not the end of the universe; we have to pace ourselves.

The male of the species now gathers in vast herds for their annual migration across the sprawling plains of CVS parking lots. Thirst and instinct draws them to the narrow confines of card aisles where they will spend seconds choosing just the right sentiment for their mates

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Public school kids running around pronouncing Super Bowl LIX as "Super Bowl Licks".

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

This is Louis. When he knocked on the bathroom door you said ocupado. But he does not know Spanish. 12/10

therapist: and what do we do when we’re feeling stressed? me: stop making plans, avoid text messages, and accidentally alienate myself from all of my friends therapist: no
