i genuinely felt so bad for him. sometimes the indoor wheelbarrow is the outdoor wheelbarrow! sometimes you want to take that final half of a deviled egg home!

it's so bad! professing blanket adoration for the median Twitter Matt is a harrowing thing to do!

i think the french government is doing the right thing by calling in henri de champignon, the world's foremost private art detective

Just walked past a neighbor sitting on their stoop with a miniature picnic table, attempting to coax a squirrel to come eat a nut at the table. So, you know, some kings.

This is what happens when your primary political motivation is β€œowning the libs.” He had nothing better to do than to go taunt a crowd, and then got mad when…he fell on his ass and no one cared.

You bring nothing to the table, even as a voice of dissent. Your whole existence is just…foolishness.

A good way to keep your protest high going is to make a donation today to a group that's been doing the work. An abortion fund, a group that feeds the unhoused, a group that assists immigrants...Lots of fascism fighters out there stay needing your money.

This is what happens when you have to manage an organization filled with people who hate you. You don’t get to throw rocks from the outside anymore, and that’s way easier than being on the inside.

The cover of Dan Chaon’s novel One of Us

the newest from @danchaon.bsky.social is extraordinary. wholly original right down to the sentence level, engrossing, moving. a spiritual descendant of ray bradbury, my favorite author as a kid.
