vernie, the bone hydra

They're really out here defending dirt.

The dirt isn't unsafe that's just a bad gift. Tell gram to stop giving the kids dirt.

Things you should gift kids this holiday season:
- Age-appropriate toys

Things you should not gift kids:
- Weedwhackers
- Large aquatic animals
- Most of the things Kevin turns into weapons in 'Home Alone'
- Dirt

Me: I need you. I can’t go on without you. Why do you want to hurt me?

My lower back: Because you turned very slightly to the left.

it's true, we have yearned to sail the turkey since George Washington sailed his turkey across the Rubicon in 1492

For our international followers, this is a common American dream.

A father and son sailing on the ocean. They are riding on a platter of a whole cooked turkey. The sea is stormy, and the sky is grey. A smoke alarm light house is in the distance. Fire extinguisher birds sail overhead. A smaller boat of CPSC safety characters sails nearby. The son says, "I'm getting us to Thanksgiving, Dad." The father replies, "I'm proud of you, son! This bird smells amazing." The text reads: Had that dream again last night where dad was proud of me for sailing the Thanksgiving turkey home. Stand by your pan. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year.

Proud.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

This looks awfully intentional.

This is exactly what I said. It makes the Democrats look like they are responsible for the shutdown and they are responsible for the subsidies being taken away. It is hugely unstrategic and will kill so many Americans.

Dems are determined never to beat the "corrupt loser" allegations.

Snakeskin Bookmarks (Yes, Really)

Linnea Vegh was working at a large, well-lit workspace in the Conservation Division on a recent day, considering an unusual problem in an 1869 Persian-Arabic dictionary published in India: Snakeskin. Five thin, scaly pieces, all likely used as bookmarks that got…

i am sure this man and i would disagree on many things. but goddamn "i guess i've done everything i wanted to do." hits so fucking hard every time

a black and white photo of a white man in dark pants and a slightly lighter jacket, smiling faintly at the camera. his name is Ed Cox and the picture was taken in 1984

Ed Cox once again in 2007 in another black and white photo. he has a white shirt on and overalls and a camo hat.

I USED TO LIKE TO GO COON HUNTING. MY dad started me out when I was four. I taught my own boys how to coon hunt, too. Farmers used to hire me to run their balers. I've hauled lime, rock, and sand. I also farmed. I grew corn, oats, and beans. I've done mechanic work, too. I once drove a semi. Nowadays, all I do is mow, rake, and bale hay. But I keep busy. I work my son's farm. He's got sixty-five head of sheep. The wife and I have been married for sixty-one years. We argue once in a while, but you've got to have 'em every now and then. We go to church every Sunday. We have six kids, and no one has left the church. I'm on oxygen now. I think it has something to do with all the bean and hog dust. They say it's bad on your lungs. Sometimes I go down to the Sale Barn and have a cup of coffee with some of the guys. I also like to have a beer at Old Roy's. I guess I've done everything I've wanted to do.

so i'm back in the town where i went to grad school and there's this art piece there that fucked me up so bad then and i saw it and teared up. irl the text is between the two pics but i think presenting it here like this makes more
sense

Of course not lmao Generative AI is entirely built on the of stealing art and prose you did not create and throwing it in a blender to make something that vaguely resembles what you want. That's literally the type of user base you've cultivated. You want thieves to pay to steal? Are you serious?

John Darnielle just gave a shout to Chicago for showing the country how to turn up when the fascists show up. ❤️

To be clear: I already believe that the Roberts court lacks legitimacy, and that enough members of the court have engaged in open corruption that none of its opinions should be given precedential authority.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say.

If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.

I do not say this lightly.
