These guys are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out on Saturday, and that's all the more reason to put down your "wine mom protest" objections and join them.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already. It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

This is a Tennessee Williams play.

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We are standing at the threshold and my daughter is distraught. Four weeks into her new nursery and she’s finding the trip there harder every day. This, despite the fact that said nursery is inside the school her brother attends, a school so close to our house that if I stand in our living room, I’m closer to my kids than I am to our kitchen sink. It’s not merely close but directly opposite. In fact, our doors line up so neatly that, were there ice on the roads, I could skim her there successfully with a single well-placed shove. And, still, each time I depart, she wails like a wartime evacuee, appalled at being on her own. She has developed, as her brother did before her, a strain of homesickness so profound that it kicks in over distances barely measurable by science.

In his case, I cited my own rural upbringing, the hour-long trip from school each day, utilising several buses, with a two-mile walk at its terminus. When this failed to impress upon him the concept of relative hardships, I pointed to our bedroom window and told him we’d be right there. Sadly, he took this so literally that any time he looked up at our window and didn’t see us, he was devastated, since he had taken those warm words as a commitment to surrender all other responsibilities and stand at the window of our bedroom, engaged in the legally inadvisable practice of staring into a primary school for eight hours each day.

Hey @optimstie.bsky.social is Garfield a kaiju?

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Angeleno here. And same.

This is such an effective anti-fashy protest strategy, I expect an attempt to outlaw it.

FRACTAL
July 23rd 2006. When a transport ship capsized, an unidentified liquid leaked into the ocean. It formed a perfect Mandelbrot’s fractal pattern. In the following months, strange fish were reported in the area.
Little did we know, this was only the beginning. (🧵)

That’s the good stuff right there.

THANK YOU ANNA!

Like, he knows you don’t have to refrigerate cereal, right? Just the milk?

Me JUDGING THE FUCK out of Jon Arbuckle’s fridge items. Jon, what are we doing man…

This is terrific. Thank you for sharing Ken.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I genuinely believe the chief strategy is to manufacture chaos and trust that they can do a better job spinning it and selling outrage than the Dems. The current political landscape doesn’t care about cause & effect, it rewards whomever can better direct blame.

SAME. And the little of his I’m reading is blowing my mind.

The last magazine writer What left with Kaleb Horton.

"He was a born magazine writer long past the day when being a magazine writer was something you could make much a name for yourself doing. If you are a Californian and care about literary journalism and hadn’t heard the name Kaleb Horton, well, that’s part of the whole sad story."

I am riveted by this thread & hanging on every post. It combines all my favorite things: cooking, garlic, and insane-but-harmless stunts.

The GOAT

TFW you've been crushin' NAs all day and your wife casually suggests "should we open a bottle of wine?"

Girl, I've been training my whole life for this moment...

Holy shit what.

I’m not kidding when I say GDT is genuinely one of the kindest, most genuine people in Hollywood (or anywhere, for that matter). Not at all surprised to hear this story, and it still warms my heart.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

A good context primer for WTF just happened

I don’t think I’ve ever believed a song lyric less than New Radicals “Come around we’ll kick your asses”.
