Hey y’all Sydette really needs a boost. Can you help her out right now?

She is one of the smartest, kindest people I know and she has put a lot in with very little reward.

Four nonfiction books I really enjoyed reading this year:

@audrelawdamercy.bsky.social's The Originalism Trap
@leahlitman.bsky.social's Lawless
@caseyjohnston.bsky.social's A Physical Education
@hofrench.bsky.social's Born in Blackness

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Definitely a cuddle bug. She’s curled up on my lap right now

Yiiikes

It’s just allergies 😢

you can report on these people without sitting down with them and having weird glamour portraits of them snapped. the only people that should be talking directly to these freaks are congresspeople asking tough questions in oversight hearings. you dont have to do this

Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

A gray cat on a bed. The cat is yawning.

Enjoy this pic of silly Moxie having a yawn.

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.

Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

He’s “powerful” is science much the same way an arsonist is powerful in home building.

the rage that reading this makes me feel. just full 'need to stare into the middle distance because we are so, so lost' stuff.

Spencer Cox, once again, putting the lie to his “disagree better” shtick

stick drawing with one person saying to a group TURKEY IS A BAD THANKSGIVING MEAL. the next section features one person giving a large, silent thumbs up. the final section features the single stick figure standing alone as the group continues their discussion, ignoring the turkey contrarian

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I Am a Trader Joe’s Parking Lot and I Am Here to Destroy You My game begins at once: a team of crack architects and city planners conspire to bring me to your city. People rejoice, and so do I, for the game i...

"Each of my parking spots is precisely three inches longer and two inches narrower than the average parking spot. The designers say it is to save money and be economically friendly, but I know the truth: my only goal is to fuck you up."

I've been waiting for this article open from behind a paywall since it was published.

peak Bluesky juxtaposition

A movie that takes place where you’re from (the state)

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

YouTube video by ABC4 Utah Nate Blouin announces run for Congress

We can’t keep doing politics as usual. Utahns struggle to pay for housing while Trump & the GOP Congress play games with our healthcare & victimize our communities. It’s time for Democrats who will stand up & speak truth to power. That’s why I’m running for Congress.

I don’t mind a bit of lateral thinking here and there but when it’s like “junior senators from plains states minus their neighboring state’s abbreviation” I tap out

I used to play every day until the purples got more and more ridiculous.

I'd bet cash money that whatever is in those divorce records pales in comparison to what is hiding in his emails. www.texastribune.org/2024/01/19/t...

Says a guy in a coma in the aughts and teens

I’ve never seen a clip of this man speaking that didn’t make me want to throw things.

Snide, condescending and deeply dishonest. Feels like a villain from a bad 80s teen comedy.

Yo what’s up chat. It’s ya boy Sisyphus, back again with another Eternal Boulder Any% run. If you’re new here, smash that follow button like Zeus smashed my hopes and dreams.
