Watching a documentary on the 1980s US hockey team. Got me pondering what is a better "high" for a hockey player: winning a gold medal or winning the Stanley Cup?

You know, I'm past not minding if Europeans boycott US goods, I actively want you guys to boycott TF out of everything American. Economically Isolate the 💩 out of us. I'm certain we need to hit below rock bottom to fix this. The MAGA sheeplemind has a chokehold. Help a American Woman out here.

Budget, mental health worries and more: What NC lawmakers are expected to prioritize in 2026 No major action is expected at the state legislature until after the March primary elections. But when lawmakers do return to session, a flurry of activity could soon follow with votes on billions of ...

I really am thinking it's gonna be next fiscal year before we see this year's budget. And it's just intraparty fighting

Revisiting Jane Austen's Cultural Impact for Her 250th Birthday To capture the writer’s brief life and enormous impact, we assembled a sampling of the wealth, wonder and weirdness she has brought to our lives.

Happy birthday Jane!

Things that are amazing about spending the night at your folks:
1) flannel sheets
2) SO very quiet
3) and SO very dark
4) full east window (in my old bedroom)
5) mom's scrambled eggs

Forgot to post my Day 1 yesterday. Brain isn't wrapped around December yet. This year I picked a bitty pop! Advent Calendar. Yesterday was iron Man. Tony's giving out gifts in his green sack. Today's a key ring thing.

I'm laughing so hard

We need a climate change one that's less Day After Tomorrow sci-fi... that has the realistic tone of those other two

YouTube video by Flashback History How A Nuclear War Would Actually Go Down

If you ever need an argument for full nuclear disarmament, watch this.

I miss that brief moment in the early 90s when we (naively) thought global thermonuclear war was a thing of the past.

I'm gonna need a moment

No offence to other Boroughs. BUT Manhattan gets covered form Harlem to Hell's Kitchen. And obviously:

I'm mocking up a plan for an office project for over winter break. BF I get too deep into this, checking with ppl from/used to live in/just more aware of Queens, Manhattan & Brooklyn to make sure I don't have something really dumb going on (like the Empire State Bldg shorter than the Flatiron).

Found it.

There's one day a year I can wear my red poppy pin. And could I find it this morning?

Today's lineup has a bit of a theme...

Now I'm hungry and also have a menu for my next party. Although it's a bit heavy on the cheese and low on the vegan options. 🥚

If all I eat is deviled eggs, sure. But if we're at any type of Southern Gathering, my plate is apt to have: Potato Salad, Sausage Balls, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Bean Dip, Bacon-Wrapped Dates, some of the Cheese Ball, tiny Pimento Cheese sandwiches, Pinwheels, Cheese Straws, Chicken Salad tarts...

Y'all's at the Cradle in Chapel Hill (10ish years ago) is one of my top five all-time favorite concerts ever. Up there with seeing Billy Joel at LJVM, Moby at The Ritz on Halloween, The Decemberists at Red Hat, and my 1st ever Jimmy Buffett concert down at the Pavilion (sister's a parrothead)

Watching "Black Widow" after seeing Yelena in "Thunderbolts" hurts about as much as seeing Bucky in Civil War. My poor brainwashed Soviet assassins.

Three eggs per person. Not everyone will like deviled eggs, but for each one that dislikes them, there's a @riabi.bsky.social who will eat a dozen. OR because I'm married to a deviled egg lover, my calculations might be off.

Got in the mood to re-watch the Multi-verse Saga and have watched WandaVision & am on the last episode of FatWS. Good Lawd, the Sam raining montage. Also, I don't care what "canon" is, I really think that boat repair scene belongs in a RomCom. SMOLDERING looks from both! BUCKYBUCKYBUCKY! 👽🤖🧙‍♂️

How Comics Played a Role in World War II Propaganda In the midst of global conflict, when nations mobilized all available resources to win the war, art and culture became vital instruments in rallying support and shaping public opinion. One medium that...

And Jack Kirby wanted to literally punch a bunch of em... :D

There is actually a line at my polling place. Whoa! Given how few people vote in local elections, I'm happy to wait!

Working on a MCU NY Skyline to create something for my office. I needed Avengers Tower in Manhattan. Plus this has Brooklyn & the Statue of Liberty. I am wondering if I should modify Lady Liberty or not. Opinions? I could probably handle a small circle with a star cutout...

Happy Halloween!

Early Medieval Papacy (Radio Edit)

As soon as they said "professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill" I squealed and said "Dr. Whalen!!!!"

Yes, I'm a history 🤓

It's on my list. Just saving it and also gotta find a steaming service that has it for free ... hopefully

Just some daguerreotypes of people with cats.

A Sports Major May Be Coming to a Campus Near You Inside the movement to enshrine athletics as the newest liberal art.

I have been saying since before the Paper Classes Scandal™️ that we need an Athletics major (concentrations like Sports Admin, Sports Comm, Sports Analytics or Sports Marketing). Looks like it's starting to gain traction. Those are all real careers b/c lets be honest, MOST won't be Michael Jordans.🐏
