You're probably expecting me to post the "Get out" gif, but actually I love dad jokes and puns.

True. The heinous goober energy is strong in those photos.

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating.

Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape.

Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

It's the rotation of the Lincoln Memorial that really sends me.

I'm convinced that the next great cultural divide is between the people who genuinely admire and enjoy kitschy AI slop and the people who find it cringeworthy in the extreme.

(I didn't actually need another reason to vote against Mayor Harrell, but, wow... woof.)

Me two minutes ago: this is too much baseball.

I wonder if the West Seattle water taxi still waits around for games that go this long.

I think Griffey was there before the game tonight. Get him in there like it’s 1995!

I’d say this is harsh, but we are halfway through Game 6 of a five game series, so…

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Just warg into Polanco right now. I’m begging you.

I need Edgar Martinez and Ken Griffey Jr. to astral-project themselves into some Mariners batters right now and recreate The Double. (I’d include Joey Cora, but he’s literally there coaching for the other team so that’d be awkward.)

My Argentine husband does not understand why a sportsball game has been going for more than four hours. And, I mean, fair.

Yes. But also this is torture.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

But does it make a wikka-wikka sound when it turns? I feel like if Abe believed in anything, it's that we should put our hands up in the air and wave 'em around like we just don't care.

This article doesn't answer the most important question, which is... WHY IS THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL ROTATED??

There's very little money sloshing around in progressive politics right now. Total contrast to Year 1 of Trump's first term, when enthusiastic funders and small-dollar donations kept the movement vibrant during a non-election year. Now? It's overdramatic to say we're starving, but it's deffo bleak.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
