Nobody does wistful dugout staring like George Kirby

Definitely bring your tea kettle! We do this when we go yurting, where there is power but no appliances. We also bring a camp stove to cook outside, if there’s a picnic table available.

Turns out our couch is not comfortable enough for a 15-inning game.

I was at Bugs Bunny at the Symphony tonight and in the brief silence before the encore someone screamed LET'S GO MARINERS WON and the place exploded

You know when Jim Sinegal is standing up that the game is exciting.

Yeah I’ve noticed this too!

Jess’s get the job done!

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

For a second I thought this was a nomination

Andrew Thomas completely snatched every bit of confidence directly out of that man’s soul before that penalty

We’ve continued our historic investments in needed affordable housing, including We are working every day to create and preserve homes that will serve generations of Seattle residents. We’ve continued to invest in youth and families by expanding mental health services for young people and launching the and proposal to renew the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) Levy, which would double access to quality, affordable childcare.

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Nice, I just tuned in to see Botafogo score again 😩

How are you watching?

“If not gestapo, why gestapo shaped?”

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Still from an episode of Columbo. He is is a restaurant kitchen next to a woman in red. Closed caption reads “That smells like beef. Is that beef?”

Same as before, Columbo in a kitchen with the woman in a red outfit. He’s leaning over the gas hob. Closed caption reads: “That’s beef.”

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

Tulsa’s first Black mayor announces $105M reparations plan for descendants of 1921 Race Massacre “We will be making these investments to restore the Greenwood District and Tulsa overall to the community we should have been,” Monroe Nichols said.

The mayor of Tulsa announced plans for a $105 million private charitable trust to provide descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with housing assistance and scholarships

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”
