I can tell the school year is about to start because of the way I give directions: we're meeting at the building across from the Panda Express and behind the WingStop, not the identical building diagonal from the Panda Express.

Not so much an attack ad as a greatest hits compilation. 10/10

I went to a museum speech by Leland and he told us about a thing where astronauts' families are kept away from them for disease safety reasons for like a week before they take these photos so everyone is genuinely happy to see each other. But I like to think his dogs are just always like that.

The gmail schedule send feature is great for people I don't need to know I'm writing them panic emails at 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday and just think I'm writing them panic emails at 8:30 a.m. on a Monday.

Autocorrect just changed the XOXO I put in a text to a relative to COCONUT. Yep I'm totally ready for AI to take my job.

And when you try to pull out that tag it rips out the entire seam. So then like OK fine this is a "comfy at home" shirt until you run to take your garbage can out for pickup in sweatpants and a shirt with a gaping hole in the side at 6 a.m. I live in a nice neighborhood. Sorry, everyone.

Company: There's no annoying tag in the neck of this t-shirt! So comfy!
Also company: Ignore that tag on the inside left side seam. Your soft side-belly skin will not be annoyed by it we promise.

Sleepy time bear

It's Friday night baby

Update: Still watching this. Still good.

THREAD: All over the country, immigration officers are smashing car windows to get at the people inside.

As we began tracking incidents, my @propublica.org colleague @nicolefoy.bsky.social and I had two questions: First, is this legal?

Second, is it, well, normal? Was this happening before? 1/

I have watched five episodes and have cried through every single one, even the ones about the Florida Gators, and like, just when you are ready to watch this emotionally also prepare with some water and tissues.

ALSO @grammarpurist.bsky.social can you imagine how cool it would be if our extremely similar career at universities meant we got to go recruit? With jets and expense accounts? For the best writers and editors and DJs?

It dropped today. It's just about the SEC. It's called Any Given Saturday and it's really good. (Only some teams are featured behind-the-scenes and none of them are Georgia or Bama, so like, BONUS.)

People on Gamecock Reddit: This is bullshit. I hate this.
Me: OK I feel like you don't understand this is about loving an entire concept and you are an empty and sad person inside.

I would run through a wall if this man was hyping me up to do it.

I am watching the Netflix College Football show and I have already cried because I saw Derrick Moore hype up a kid. An absolute gift to the entire state of South Carolina.

An important thread of great reporting from @propublica.org

Any of y'all's family also call Piggly Wiggly the Writhing Swine? Like, to make it sound fancy?

Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump - The Boston Globe The closure is expected to have a profound impact on the journalistic and cultural landscape — in particular, public radio and TV stations in small communities across the United States.

Instead of lowering grocery costs, Donald Trump is trying to cancel Big Bird.

For the record, though. We have made it.

I just want to note that @themountaingoats.bsky.social This Year came out like 20 years ago and some of us have been singing it every year, in our bedrooms, in our cars before work, in our cars after work, in hospital parking lots, on sidewalks, on planes and trains and buses that whole time.

Mom: Ugh why can't the protestors just donate money?
Me: Well some of us do both.
Mom: 😦

I do not, and will not, tolerate Chili's-shaming.

I have been watching the bit where Stephen Colbert sings it on repeat since last week. For managing my feelings. So good.

Probably every year I listen to "This Year" by @themountaingoats.bsky.social and I just think OK this year. One day at a time. But that song is now 20 years old and this shit might not be sustainable.

Broke: Is he hot or just tall?
Woke: Is he hot or just a class warrior?

Slack: Are you sure you want to send this? It will notify nine people.
Me: Yes.
Slack: Are you sure you want to send this? It will notify 256 people in four time zones.
Me: THIS IS YOUR ENTIRE JOB.

Ozzy Osbourne dies just weeks after farewell show The heavy metal star reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on stage at Villa Park earlier in July.

I truly thought this man was going to live forever, somehow. RIP, Ozzy, you were metal incarnate for me. news.sky.com/story/ozzy-o...
