Cross stitch that says wash your hands. It has 3 pathogens on it: e.coli salmonella and cholera

Maybe a good time for this as well with norovirus making headlines.

I made this for our bathroom and a few “lucky” friends also got one as a gift.

As I’ve said before, it’s astonishing that I even have any friends at all.

Peep the LIGHT BLUE Puerto Rican flag in the window

The flag with the light blue triangle represents the Puerto Rican independence movement

For many years it was illegal to display on the island

(Lots more light blue flags forthcoming in this performance)

It’s also worth trying the British-style curry in Japan

i think about this every day and the more history i learn, the truer it becomes

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Second year in a row the halftime show pissed off a pedophile

Original lyrics:

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America

Is that what he sang?

@dansinker.com: “Last November … I wrote a piece called ‘Whistle Up,’ about … how to procure whistles for your own community. This post serves as a sequel.”

A knife block repurposed as basically a big magnet for electronics to stick to

I was trying to figure out what to do with an old knife block today and abruptly remembered magnets exist 🙌

This is actually highly convenient

hey can you draft that press release about epstein’s death? we’re having him killed tomorrow

Jeff Bezos has not been allowed on our property since the time he tore up the golf course trying to find kryptonite

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

One very underrated parenting joy is watching your baby discover their hands. Their eyes wide while they flex their impossibly tiny fingers. What ARE these things?

Oh my heart. Whatever will you build with them. ❤️

Now at 62-38 with 82% reporting, such that if the GOPer got all the remaining votes they'd probably still fall well short

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

A bunch of quote skeets/tweets laughing because Cillian Murphy appears bored in a photograph while listening to Taylor Swift talk on the Graham Norton show

Cillian Murphy with a brief cameo as an advertisement for "Opalite" in Taylor Swift's latest music video

okay but it's low key pretty funny that a sizeable portion of the internet was convinced that Cillian Murphy hated Taylor Swift after that Graham Norton show interview only for him to make a cameo in her music video

I mean it’s likely an even older way of borrowing “Deutsche”

And from that usage, it got misapplied to persons from the Netherlands, whom Anglophone types had conflated with Germans

Deutsche, pronounced like an extremely sheltered American would pronounce it if they wanted to annoy him

I don’t remotely condone the Right’s outrage, but I understand it’s a provocative phrasing to the ear of any Protestant who has studied their own scripture.

Exodus 22:21 didn’t have any teeth to an audience of Gentiles, so Matthew 25:41-45 reiterates and adds a new reason behind the commandment.

Interesting religious subtext: Mamdani made this announcement while speaking at NYC's annual Interfaith Breakfast, which is why you hear him referring to the "stranger" — a reference to Christian and Jewish scripture and principles, he says, in other faiths.

(More @rns.org coverage of this soon.)

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history:

“On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...
