incredibly appropriate end to this dumbass period of history if the president just fell off of a roof

A Canadian boater says he was ‘kidnapped’ by the US Coast Guard. American officials say he crossed into US waters. - The Boston Globe The encounter occurred as the United States continues to harden its vast northern border in an effort to curb illegal immigration and smuggling.

I guess we’re just not talking about this international incident that just went down in Lake Champlain? No reason this could not have been sorted by actually conversing, imho. Be careful out there. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/05/m...

There's this dude that plays the trumpet everywhere Bolsonaro goes.

Recently he has been seen playing Chopin - Marche Funèbre.

he is a local hero per se.

If you should write a fable for little fishes, you would make them speak like great whales.

Oof, what a sordid chapter that was.

Post someone who looks good in a hat.

Don Draper reading MEDITATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY by Frank O’Hara by a desk lamp in MAD MEN

“Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.”

Omaha! That’s an open House seat @janekleeb.bsky.social

Rep. Castro on Texas Redistricting: The reason he’s doing this is because he doesn’t want Democrats to take back control of the House. This man doesn’t want any investigations—into things like releasing of the Epstein files, corruption, or any of the insider deals they’re running.

They’re not just redrawing districts. They’re rigging democracy.

Texas proposed a map that could wipe out 5 Democratic seats— and they’re not stopping there. Gerrymandering is the biggest threat to our democracy. And, if we don’t fight back now, we forfeit fair elections. @katiephang.bsky.social

Oof

So Trump lied about Harvard.

RISE UP, LONE STAR #bluetexas

My State Rep, y’all. She deserves statewide office if and when Texas finally has enough of the GOP’s nightmare reign.

It's Trump's economy now. The latest financial numbers offer some warning signs President Donald Trump's economic policies are facing scrutiny as weak indicators emerge. Job gains are dwindling, inflation is rising and growth has slowed compared to last year.

Surround an addled, elderly President with suck-ups and sycophants and this is what you get: “Job gains are dwindling. Inflation is ticking upward. Growth has slowed compared with last year.” Compare Biden economy: “envy of the world.”

Ben Sisto Brings “The Museum of Who Let Who Let The Dogs Out Out” to PVD When most people hear the catchy chant and echoing barks of “Who Let The Dogs Out” they think of boom boxes, glow sticks, and an illuminated early-2000s dance floor. But [...]

I do think this counts as a #tinyjoy: pvdeye.org/ben-sisto-br...

I REMEMBER By the first of August the invisible beetles began to snore and the grass was as tough as hemp and was no color — no more than the sand was a color and we had worn our bare feet bare since the twentieth of June and there were times we forgot to wind up your alarm clock and some nights we took our gin warm and neat from old jelly glasses while the sun blew out of sight like a red picture hat and one day I tied my hair back with a ribbon and you said that I looked almost like a puritan lady and what I remember best is that the door to your room was the door to mine.

Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker

Four books and two magazines published by Malarkey Books plus their t-shirt

Awesome book mail from the great folks at @malarkeybooks.bsky.social! You made my day!

A stone model house, with stone front wall and a front garden planted with a miniature rosebush, silvery snow-in-summer, rosemary and others. A line of tightly clipped trees behind, and other model buildings in the background.

View across a green part of the model village, showing miniature trees, ivy climbing up a miniature wall, and tightly clipped conifer bushes.

View across miniature back gardens, between the backs of miniature stone houses. More tiny walls, trees, bushes and a sprawling pink mini-rose.

View into the window of a model church, with model people sitting in pews surrounded by gigantic (real) money which has been dropped through a slot higher up. Behind them, light comes through miniature stained glass windows.

Scenes from Bourton-on-the-Water's model village, which is a replica of the village itself and accordingly made in Cotswold stone. (The village itself is rather like a model village!) Of course my favourite part was the planting and tiny trees! Literally #TinyJoys

Dear God, Please bring back What We Do In the Shadows for one special season filmed on Martha's Vineyard, including the farmers market where they sell pierogi to everyone except the guy who made a federal case out of his underwear. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
