bari weiss and I both semi-failed out of our chosen professions and bailed and here she is, head of CBS news. I’ll surely get a job at Brown any day now.

oh, the sign is extremely warranted. My dad, who got electrical and steam burns at work, was scared of the back end of our tractor.

my fundamental problem with this time is: im as cynical as the next guy but i really do not want to live in a world where nothing matters and nothing is real. i like to stand on the earth sometimes and feel it solidly beneath me. call me old fashioned. when im sick i want a doctor not joe rogan

I’m in a Joanna Newsom hyperfixation rn and it is very interesting to hear her sing β€œYs” stuff after she changed her singing style. Much more operatic and powerful, without some of the frailty. I think I prefer it overall but changing your voice is such an unusual thing in an artistβ€˜s career.

my wife has been doing the shopping for the last year or so and everything was more than I remembered it being. we just don’t eat beef now unless it’s deeply on sale.

I saw (homemade?) anti-trans sports signs in Chesterfield today and wondered just how salient that message would be

sort of tarp to get the water level even higher, thus both littering and impeding migration

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

Looking up the various types of badgers led me to discover the false badgers β€” a pair of animals that are colloquially called badgers, but are members of the mephitidae family (skunks) rather than mustelidae.

The Sunda & Palawan stink badgers. And aren't they precious?
