For the record, everything about the Postal Service is cool as hell, and everyone who doesn't support it is a loser who sucks.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Genuinely curious if the DOGE bros just thought they could pull a bunch of wires out of the walls, gleefully ruining/ending various lives, and then live long and prosperous existences free of being relentlessly owned online

Encinitas is packed full of the "my dog is friendly" crowd, unfortunately. ARGLE-BARGLE.

I'm about to start carrying a looong heavy stick on these walks. This particular house is on a well-trafficked corner so you would think that they would be more cautious....But entitlement is a hell of a drug. (They also have 6-8 cars that are all out on the street. I'm not a fan!)

owner stood there telling me that "they're really friendly!" and I am trying to tell her that my dog Pixie is NOT friendly, the damn dogs got out again. WTF? Keep your damn dogs inside your property or on a leash!

I did NOT need for two off leash dogs to come charging at me and my dogs when we were out on our walk! My older girl is reactive, particularly when a dog comes running directly at her. I got to be that neighbor yelling "HELP! HELP!" until folks came out and caught the dogs. Then, while their

A flyer taped to a utility pole
It features John Fetterman’s face with the eyes and mouth replaced by elements from American printed money , under the words “call your senator” and  “I love bombing children with your money while you can’t afford healthcare “ and “call me” with his office number I assume

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

Follow policy and best practices. You may not like the process, but tough shit. I have been nothing but kind and calm in my responses, but this person is about to be iced out until they provide me with the information I need to process their request. #BeKindOrEatShit

Why do people feel entitled to be shitty to folks who work at public entities? Someone had emailed me multiple times with a request, and I have followed up with some clarification questions. Their responses are increasingly shitty and hostile, so I am going to stop responding. Look, I have to 1/2

Today’s #SmallGoodThing: my toe is finally healed up enough for me to take longer walks. I did two miles this afternoon before it started barking and aching a bit. Walking really helps my mental state, so this is a welcome change.

Say goodbye to spring — a major weather pattern shift is coming | CNN A drastic weather pattern change is about to induce an acute case of weather whiplash.

Currently 55 outside but there is a heat advisory starting today, so that should be fun. Good luck to all in the Western US that will deal with the heat dome: www.cnn.com/2026/03/12/w...

This doesn't make any sense. Why not allow game playing? This seems like an arbitrary and fun-killing rule. BLERGH.

Scruffy, but freshly shorn Gracie dog in profile. She’s looking majestic! The clean and newly shorn Gracie sitting in front of some greenery. Black and tan scruffy dog looks intensely at the camera.

Today’s #SmallGoodThing: Gracie is healed enough to go get groomed! The groomer left her eyebrows, her little mohawk, and some of her ear feathers. She just might have to come to campus with me tomorrow!

The library is packed today! It makes me so happy to walk around and see all the different ways that people are using the space. Studying, writing, sleeping, catching up with friends, making something in the makery, or heating up lunch in the student "break room."

It is completely insane that they are putting people's names into their paid product as "experts" without their knowledge. And Grammarly's response is to say people can OPT OUT?? There's not even a definitive list to see if you're on it.
