Ha! My list is called Old Shit To Run To.

Obviously, if Wes Anderson made a documentary it'd be Billy & Molly.

Sinclair ends its Jimmy Kimmel boycott | CNN Business The blackout of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is halfway over.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/m... Isn't forcing him to make a political donation a form of extortion.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

Good news in the news. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Well, now I'm scared.

Even here on bluesky, the left doesn't hold together- it smacks one another down like 15 year-old mean girls or 19 year-old college boys with a pamphlet in one pocket and a joint in the other, saying he wants to discuss Sartre but actually wants to make sure you know he's the only one who's right.

That's a good point. I hadn't considered/realized that empathy is value neutral.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be:

"the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute."

BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE

I thought the story was a pumpkin that turned into a golden carriage, not a golden carriage with a pumpkin *inside*.

No notes

Haha. They are widely read, just misspelled.

But Atlas Shrugged is a book. Dianetics, The Mandables are books. The Art of the Deal. Hitler wrote is own. Not all books promote empathy. Unfortunately.

It’s probably not too far-fetched to say that @hollylynwalrath.bsky.social describes the secret wish of all poets!

I agree. But (and?) she made a threat of retribution.

Photo of square orange tiles, set into the ground, across one of which several cats footprints are clearly visible.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

This is dark and reminds me of another time.

Fascism doesn't have pleasant outcomes.

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

Now I want a play called Prospero is the Villian.

People are assigning themselves homework — for fun | CNN People are coming up with their own “personal curriculums” to combat brain rot, improve their attention spans and enrich their minds.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/u... And the Tiktok generation invents... hobbies.

Yes, quite.

Social media is a house of mirrors. I give up on it as a source of information. post-truth is the only truth I'll acknowledge.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

Hvorfor omtaler Aftenposten, VG og NRK Charlie Kirk som «konservativ»? Risikerer å hvitvaske ekstremisme, skriver Andreas Bjørnbekk.

Live your life in such a way that if people directly quote you after your death, no one will accuse them of "speaking ill of the dead."

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

If you were a part of this chorus or didn’t speak out against this kind of hate-mongering when Paul Pelosi was brutally attacked, I could care less what you think now about how “the left” is reacting to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
