A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

My iPhone was forced to have an update to this liquid nonsense. I hate it. Thanks big tech! Can we just have things that work?

Pantone picking white for 2026’s color of the year seems like the final defeat for humanity. Perfect and sad.

Kids Can Press company logo and logo and image of Franklin character with statement text,”Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

If you accept that bullies only respond to strength, this is totally understandable.

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Same with vaccines! And financial regulation!

I met him in high school and everyone could tell how creepy he was. Anyone who’s worried about him is guilty by association.

Elisa New was deeply compassionate to me during college, and it breaks my heart to know she actively courted Jeffrey Epstein. I’d hoped she’d just stayed with Summers for *reasons.* But just no. No interview, no money, nothing is worth this.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

PRIMARY ALL OF THEM.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Can’t wait for 1 million apartments to become available in New York now!

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I only get mad at myself for not knowing more languages. 😬

It’s kind of wild that within 24 hours France is losing its mind over the degradation of its heritage after the theft of some jewelry and the president of the United States is just tearing down the White House like it ain’t nothing.

I spent a delightful 5 minutes blocking a ton of these newly verified accounts. Give them no air.

The Republicans aren’t going to give you your money back no matter how hard you shill for them.

BBC News headline: Frankenstein is monster success at Venice film festival

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

BBC.Com paywall requiring a subscription $8.99/month of $49.99 per year

And they wonder why it’s so easy for fascists to capture attention when their media is free and so much of the rest is behind a paywall.
