what I've got, you've got to give it to woonsocket

I am going to bypass the nazi shit for a second

1. beef tallow fell out of usage in the 80s! b/c deep frying food is bad for you and worse for you in beef tallow
2. This is part of the war on "seed oil" which is part of the wellness right wing drift
3. the best fries are deep fried in duck fat

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

At a time when America is on fire and Americans have become more isolated from each other, recognizing the good of an imperfect collective action that brings people together and illustrates the potential for bigger actions is a lot better than being a stick in the mud.

this EDM remix has been stuck in my head for the last few days, especially the line "I want to talk about it, but I'd be late for work"

something I’ve never stopped thinking about since I learned it: the proud boys do disaster relief as a recruiting tactic. they show up faster than the government and so people are like “these guys helped me when nobody else would”

Allegory alert!

Wasn’t he defending these same athletes a couple months ago?? Cowardly.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.

I just finished reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my children. Here’s what I think goes on in Ross Douthat’s mind…(1/23)

You said you were too busy to play with me but you’re literally just eating candy and reading wikipedia articles about mummies

Guys like joe rogan are funny because they still think smoking weed that they buy legally from places that look like an apple store makes them hunter s thompson

Keene man arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 rejects Trump’s pardon On his first day in office this week, President Donald Trump pardoned all rioters at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jason Riddle served time in jail for his participation in the 2021 riot.

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Seeing a lot of content about “airport rules for the next 4 years,” and I hate to throw cold water on this but if you make those 10 a.m. beers a habit, you are gonna develop a drinking problem 🫠

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

I wish you could turn off AI results altogether but since you can’t, I find it’s useful to tack “-ai” onto the end of everything I type into Google

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold.
Think about it.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. —David Lynch

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

I want less Silicon Valley companies and more companies like Tabasco where everything is just put into big oak barrels and once in awhile an aging Cajun man walks in and goes “how them babies doin”
