So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

Scouting America bends the knee with troop humping & getting rid of the “wokest” Eagle-required merit badge

haha I may need a refresher, I read that one a LONG time ago (and maybe understood only a fraction of it). Definitely a weird entry in the oeuvre

looks like a Paul Klee painting

Checking this out, looks great so far! Let me know if you get it and want to be my cocktailian amigo

banner advertising Semafor's annual "trust in media" conference featuring a long list of people who are actually eroding trust in media, like Brendan Carr and Matt Murray and Mathias Dopfner

once a year the brunchlords at Semafor host a "restoring trust in news" conference where they unironically platform most of the people responsible for destroying trust in news, then lob softball questions at them

I'll allow it

I thought it was some weird ergonomic wheelie thing for musicians

haha this mystery has been solved thanks to @knowerofmanythings.bsky.social. embarassingly, it's just his other foot

this sounds amazing

I think mine was you! Finished the Comic Book History last night and really enjoyed it, by the way. Thanks for it!

I think it's microtonal judging from the frets

this is like the most insider banjo fan video and I was delighted when I discovered it
