Phil, it's —

NO IT ISN'T. Get out of here with your lies.

Photos of the mayor pointing to a big board will never be photoshopped to have him pointing to something else, that’s my ironclad prediction

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Sigh. Y'all, the trope of Appalachia as a "pure" (Anglo-Saxon or Scots-Irish) white region is racist propaganda from the early 20th century, meant to crush multiracial and multiethnic resistance in a highly exploited area.

Don't buy into it. The fash are wrong about here as they are everywhere else

i think it's important to remember that the big news isn't just a baby delivered, it's the fact that she's going to the first NICU in Sierra Leone to receive specialized and life saving care. it's not just the act of delivery, it's the ongoing efforts that are enabled with access and funds #p4a2026

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.

This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Lemon, it's Thursday

When you come upon a post from a stranger, target it by holding the triangle button. If the post glows green, it is about you. If it doesn’t, you can move along. Try to find all the posts about you each day!

James Van Der Beek, Teenage Heartthrob of ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ Dies at 48

Asked in 2023 what advice he would give his younger self, he said on “Good Morning America,” choosing to be philosophical: “Don’t be surprised if six years of work gets reduced to a three-second GIF of you crying,” adding, “It’s all good.”

My husband just texted me there's a downhill skier called Breezy Johnson in the same year that the ski jumpers are in trouble for letting out the crotches of their suits and this cannot be true?!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

When I thought for an hour or two that I might be a Canadian citizen under C-3, until I found my Ukrainian-Canadian great-grandfather's 1931 census record saying he wasn't a citizen by the time my Ukrainian-American grandfather turned 21

@healthwellfoundation.org I'm trying to fax something but your listed fax number (800-282-7692) sounds like an interactive menu and not a fax machine. Any advice?

ah that works now, I'm not sure what I was doing yesterday!

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

As soon as I notice it on NetGalley I'll dive in!

@raygunsite.com Having trouble getting to your website fyi

Chef's kiss! Please accept my honorary verbal Masters of Library and Information Science!

Except for magic, which is either in the 100s for paranormal phenomena or the 300s as folklore. Grr!

I'm sure I'll love them both, but thank you for redoing DDC. It always bugs me that the 200s are religion, by which Melvil (a man made of red flags) meant Christianity, with all other religions shoved into the 290s at the end.

This is the Olympic equivalent of Heath Ledger singing Can't Take My Eyes Off You in the bleachers. I hope the other woman was worth it, bub. (Or the other person, I should say; he is after all a biathlete.)

I mean yes obviously I care about Eme, I just got super distracted 😂

Ooh just finished #1 and read the blurb for #2, can't wait to see if Sebastian uses good old duidécimo or some other way of putting books into a useful order. Maybe Library of Congress, which is more common for research and opens up a pun on El Cid with the usual abbreviation LC.
