The Gurgling Cod (he/him)

For those pearl-clutching over the damage done to Kobe’s legacy by Bam Adebayo last night, Kobe still
leads Bam in sexual assault allegations, so you guys still have that to lean on.

I think my favorite part of this post is that whoever’s in charge of this account is hiding all of the replies about Kobe being a rapist but letting most of the other ones slide

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

Everybody, this is Fiona, our new ABTCR foster 💓 she was picked up as a stray in Carroll County GA and we’re keeping her here with the pack until we can find her a permanent home #hiFiona

ICE agents take man in custody following hourslong standoff as protesters gathered - VTDigger U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement entered the home late Wednesday afternoon, helped by a Vermont State Police tactical team that cleared the way.

I felt kind of cringe about our Black Lives Matter sign in rural Ver-Fucking-Mont. But 1) We live at a top of a hill, and a neighbor's Black son in law said the sign gave him a little boost when he was jogging. Also, it's something + the Pride flag for the 3% assholes to see when they drive by.

Thanks to the @edsbs.bsky.social endorsement, the 30-50 minutes I spend watching TV between the end of dinner and falling asleep is now called "looking at astronauts" in our house.

At the height of the US postcard craze, “tall-tale” cards imagined a land of giant-sized plenty. In this 1909 series, Californian rail cars haul colossal fruit and veg — turning agricultural pride into something surreal and strangely beautiful: publicdomainreview.org/collection/g...

ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it

This Fall, Florida Students Will Be Forced to Take “Anti-Communist” Classes Florida public schools will force students to take a Heritage Foundation-backed class on the “evils of communism.”…

Obviously this is bad, but here's the thing about Heritage's impoverished understanding of education & education-as-indoctrination, arising from having made zero effort to engage actual learning environments, this shit does not work.

I look forward to it having the opposite of the intended effect.

Learning that there is a non-insignificant amount of Lego fans who are genuinely angry about the switch to parts coming in paper bags, some of which even demand Lego switch back to plastic bags.

Of all the nothing issues I've seen Lego fans get angry over, this has to be the nothingest. My god.

This is from 1975.

Jim Valvano and Kobe Bryant were both (in different ways) shitty dudes who benefitted from dying young.

Yes, he should’ve pulled up out of respect for a rapist. What the fuck is wrong with you and why do you have a job in media?

Imagine part of your identity being “I am a Kobe supporter”

That’s amazing

My sister’s boyfriend spotted some pals in Charlotte this morning

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

The next Ohio State president will have a huge say in the future of realignment

Ole Miss signed a Carmelo(w), an Iverson AND an Anthony Davis in this football recruiting class. (They also signed a safety named Nascar McCoy and, in a nicely Oxford touch, an O-lineman named Emanuel Faulkner. Perfect class.)

What is magic is that one of our feeders is set up so we get a closeup of squirrel genitalia when they snack.
