"Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live."

-Mark Twain, from the 1893 essay "Taming the Bicycle", in which he learns how to ride a penny farthing

My hopes are tempered because of exactly what you say, but this is... something bsky.app/profile/moll...

I think about that part where the king is teaching Peter about how much strain you can apply to a chain before it breaks, and that people are the same way, almost daily. Gotta pick this one up and read it again.

my tabby cat reilly yawning and stretching

he has an exhausting life

A brown tabby cat and a fluffy black cat are curled up sleeping next to eachother on a beige couch, between black cushions with white dots on them.

Big mood

A screenshot with a photograph of a light brown cat whose smooshed face has the effect of making him look grumpy. In the blurry distance is a drawing of this same cat, with a sadder expression. Under the photo, text reads: "Meet Gary, the cat who ended a friendship and cost $25,000 in legal fees" A calligraphic "I" (the logo of the Philadelphia Inquirer) is in the bottom right corner of the image.

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

Pete Hamill is buried just behind Boss Tweed in Greenwood Cemetery.

PLURIBUS

This is a good point, but I have to admit, as soon as I heard her not really an apology, I thought of Glenn Beck a decade ago, unflinchingly saying over and over how bad he fell about all his conspiracy mongering because he had a book to sell, and then going right back to it the next year.

As I work to purge the apartment of politics and make it to my crip bennies, I'm gonna be selling some wild shit. Old comics, super old Time Magazines, Fangorias, books.

Going to start with the stuff ppl are passionate about so they smash that buy button.

Pluribus hitting too close to home, fuck me

Gleefully posting "pedo" memes can still be a way of avoiding hearing the voices of the victims. Everyone should read this, from @katemanne.bsky.social katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

“Unfortunately she thinks she’s a real economist, a stupid delusion that is annoyingly getting in the way of me getting laid.”

Keep coming back to Summers’ annoyance that this female mentee he’s trying to sleep with “takes her presentation very seriously.” To men like this—to a lot of men—women’s intellectual or professional ambition is an irritating presumption that they condescend to tolerate.

this is genuine psychological warfare and it seems to happen to every professional woman at some point:

I would expect, the worse this gets, the more MAGA folks will say “well, i was never really that committed” or “i knew this was bad and couldn’t be a part of it”

wake up, eat breakfast, go back to sleep, I think my cat has the right idea.

"Zohran has been marinated in love, not just from us, his parents, but from intergenerational family life. He’s so secure in knowing who he is."

Mira Nair, on responses to her films: “Why have you done this? Why can’t you show us a good picture of India? Why can’t you show people like me? I’m a doctor. I drive a Porsche.” And I would say, “The minute a doctor in a Porsche becomes interesting, I’ll be right there.”

Cate Blanchett shaking hands with the Pope

People say Cancel Culture is real and then you see Lydia Tár being invited to meet the Pope. 🙄

This is just a friendly reminder that THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER (1990) rules!

Recuso diem!

Omg I MUST! Thanks for the heads up!

Animated would be perfect! There was a live-action project at Hulu I think that died.
