When my folks go, I’m taking precisely one antique chair, one piece of art, and the hidden hoard of gold coins. Everything else gets donated or tossed.

Nobel Laureate in Physics Brian Schmidt.

HM to former NFL player Tui Alailefaleula, who attended for some of the same time I did.

I programmed a Star Trek: TNG text adventure game on my TI-80. Such a small amount of storage that I had to delete all the math stuff I had programmed in. Still only had a couple dozen frames in the entire game, but boy, it was fun to make.

Open mouths and an excited expression…

Maybe you didn’t need the books, but the books needed you.

Good! Now stand strong and don’t vote for any DHS funding bill unless it abolishes ICE.

No, we want ICE torn out, root and stem.
We want every officer who abused their power to face justice.
We want Miller out of the White House.
We want Noem impeached and held accountable.
We want DHS dismantled.
The entire agency is rotten to the core, and cannot be saved.

USA (assorted)
If there’s a side door, close friends and family will often use that one.

I would watch my first ever Mr Beast video on that day.

Yep. Deleted my account. The platform is unusable now.

My favorite of your books, and one that seems ever more relevant today.

Jonah! (With a side of Martha)

As Jesse Ventura said “Why would we give it back? We won.”

He can cast Control Weather and Blight, so I think he’d be pretty useful. Plus, he’s a hell of a heal-bot.

That would be on my tombstone.

Dude is channeling the spirit of John Brown in the most Minnesota Nice way.

In case anyone isn’t familiar with Timothy Snyder, he’s a historian who specializes in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century, and has published several books about the holocaust and authoritarianism. He’s been presciently warning about the rise of authoritarianism in America for a while.

Good lord. Imagine NYC traffic with more presidential motorcades.

I just donated a pint of blood in 3:30. Personal best.
Turns out, this is too fast according to the phlebotomist, who was freaking out a little and trying to slow it down.

I can only dream of curating this level of maximalist eccentricity. It’s marvelous.

That’s what we’re doing! Breakfast was quiche, lunch will be pheasant pot pie, dinner will be shepherds pie, and there are also cranberry-lemon, pecan, apple, and pumpkin pies throughout the day.

Maybe someone who can actually deliver for the American people should be minority leader.
Retire already if you can’t whip your caucus into shape.

I roast my own. As soon as the tariff talk started, I ordered a year’s supply of green beans. Prices at my supplier are up more than 50% in 6 months.

Ozy used to build out of rocks
Now he’s just legs, he’s all out of trunk
It’s sand
All sand
Pedestal has something to say
But all round the wreck is only decay
It’s sand
Just sand

In 1969, what I would say is the greatest year in music history, the 1# single of the year wasn’t from the Beatles, the Stones, CCR, Zeppelin, or Hendrix.

It was “Sugar, Sugar” by the Archies. Top 40 has always been ephemeral fluff.

If Mike Johnson refuses to call the House back into session, Dems need to show up en masse and hold unofficial sessions. Hold votes. Pass a budget. Impeach Trump again. Make the GOP defend against the Dems actively trying to fix the situation. Even if none of it counts legally, make the effort.

Bro, we KNOW our rights. Make sure the cops don’t infringe on them.

READING RAINBOW IS COMING BACK!!!!!!

Mychal the Librarian is a perfect fit to follow the great Levar Burton. Can’t wait to watch new episodes with my kids.

Science is so cool.

If you say the rapture is coming tomorrow, but you don’t give away everything you own before it happens, you may not actually believe what you think you do.
