You know who had a secret Police?
Who also spied
and kidnapped people
The Queen of Narnia
She was evil
and didn't like humans either

I'm on the side of the Beavers
And welcome back any Fauns
who change their minds

It is. Alas, not the right Jackson for meeting a fellow Internet Presbyterian.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to…
A: find your mom’s Facebook
B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were
C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

If the daily show is correct, it's footage of a very obscure transgender athlete who plays a very obscure sport in a foreign country.

But now @microsoft.com has added ✨Copilot!✨ features to Outlook!

I would've preferred bidirectional sync with caldav calendars, but Microsoft knows what we need better than we do apparently.

Is the longer review forthcoming? My mother-in-law wants to take our two kids (4 and 7). Thoughts on whether it's appropriate for kids?

The answer is "obviously yes."

I went on a road trip yesterday and saw a sign for steak and shake and wow have they gone all in on RFK and tallow. Eww.

Kid survived a mass shooting. I'm sure he's shaking in his boots.

They said nothing is certain but death and taxes, but the trump tariffs are taxes that are... Very uncertain.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Mary Magdalene: Author of the Fourth Gospel?

Hi @libbiesp.bsky.social! I heard about your work through @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and I wondered if you had heard the theory that Mary Magdalene was the beloved disciple in the book of "John", and possibly its author, and whether you had any thoughts about that.

Any nation that chooses cruelty against innocent people for the sake of "safety" does not deserve safety.

And dancing. As V reminded us, a revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

So here's the thing. I don't believe in America the way Cory Booker does.

But I'm really glad he does. Thank you,

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

When you have content because you actually care about *people* and not just making poor people suffer like you think they should, you don't need to read Green Eggs and Ham.

I hope Strom Thurmond is enjoying this moment in whatever hell he's in. @booker.senate.gov

Turns out when you actually care about people instead of "oh no I don't want poor people to have affordable healthcare" you don't have to read Green Eggs and Ham.

@booker.senate.gov: [Donald Trump] will be looking down from heaven happy that Ph.D. students are studying him for centuries.

YouTube Chat: Yeah that ain't where he's going.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."
