You Win Today's Internet

This was how Russ Henneman raised his son, right?

In modern US politics, the real working class is the Petit Bourgeois.

i think the white house should be decorated like a red lobster

OK, how angry does Trump get when Melania wins Nobel Peace Prize?

I just taught the water cycle today.

Zelda Southport (Tracey Ullman) is going to wind up coaching the men's team in S05 of Ted Lasso, isn't she? The men-coach-women-why-can't-women-coach-me angle plus Ullman being a charming lunatic. Southport made clear she wanted Richmond for the men's side, so it seems natural.

Would it not be far more effective to tax the rich sufficiently to maintain bridges and roads?

What time is it? Wrong answers only.

All of this attempt to love Twitter again makes me miss my amateur map and data folks on Election Twitter. They were a fun balm when I burned out of other social media platforms in 2018. Many were young--high school, college--and I realized this morning they now are adults working. Time.

This is one reason why VT's consolidation plan doesn't add up. Close local schools and have longer bus rides to regional ones? Fuel prices will not go down. Wake up state officials! Vermont school districts scramble to cover the increased cost of diesel vtdigger.org/2026/10/08/v...

It bugs me that Lamm eschews the distraction of tech but then uses a paperclip instead of mending her button. If we're going for grounding ourselves sewing is the thing. . www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/s...

The Razor's Edgelord.

Animatronic Smokey the Bear with sign asking question: Only Who Can Prevent Forest Fires? Lisa pushes button saying "You". Smokey: You pushed "you" meaning "me" which is incorrect....

Two, close together: Man: Why I believe I'll vote for a third party candidate. Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away. Later, Homer: Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Someone needs to do one of those "Which one are you?" psychological personality type pop quizzes, but with these photos of Margaret Hamilton. * me: left.

"[GDP] is just one measure of an economy." "...it's a pretty important measure."

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

Okay, you got me. I'll consider voting for Jack Smith for president. * seems to have integrity * seems human * fan of women's basketball

So frustrating. I didn't know about this until the day after. Read the article, saw several activities/events I wish I knew about. Need better systems to get the word out. A celebration of “maple-fired” punk highlights challenging times for Vermont’s live music vtdigger.org/2026/09/22/a...

I'm undecided if you bring this LL Bean coffee warming sweater to an interview if I throw you out or hire you on the spot. New Englander here: Too many cultural buttons being pushed for me.

Old man here who loved their look as a 20 something, but the Procliamers have aged into cliches of men who would say transphobic things.

Bluesky keeps recommending an account. I decline, clicking the X. Not interested in the account; the account is fine. Next day, recommends the account. It's been doing this all summer. Now I'm incredibly biased against the account because Bluesky, not the account.

1. One of my partner's favorite authors. 2. Good interview. 3. Bonus. Link to mentioned book goes to bookstore.org NOT the other guys. Details matter. Talking To Emily St. John Mandel About Revision, Timeline Corruption, And Living Without A Floor - defector.com/talking-to-e...

Republican reboot of Danny Boyle's YESTERDAY but Jack Malik, realizing there are no cigarettes and J.K. Rowling did not write Harry Potter, plows his ripped off Beatles royalties into tobacco and funds anti-trans campaign. A mirror zone, but Malik already has a go-tee so evil Malik has none?

I just thought of a P.G. Woodhouse Wooster and Jeeves in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Same dynamics and rich twits but a bit of steampunk to keep the saunas and coups and luxury going. But also mutant attacks for a good round of hunting sport. Not sure if the rights are public.

Talking with family about music. Me: It's like Billy Joel. I'd never buy any of his albums, but I'm always happy when his songs come on the radio. Son 1: I've never paid for music and no one listens to the radio. Son 2: Billy Joel's great. Technology is tearing families apart.

When the Switch 2 came out I pushed my sons to play Scissor Clips together (kinda forced bonding) and they had a fun time for about an hour. But is also comes up occasionally, with one saying "Remember...." That's all some games need to be. * same with Arms, but an entire Thanksgiving

For folks worried about situations like this, look into a 504 plan. This recognizes an identified disability but is more focused on accommodations a teacher can make themselves (i.e., extended test times). It protects your kid and you just list things that they already do and work.

It's actually bad pedagogy, especially before high school. The best AP course I heard about was an open one, where some kids knew they couldn't keep up so the teacher modified their load because they really wanted to learn some of the stuff. Also, lit circles for elementary should be choice books.

Even the crickets were embarrassed.

I don't think Trump should be able to use any AI imagines unless he can answer 3 easy questions from geeks in that subject (comics, military). Trump, sits down with nerd in CHAOTIC GOOD t-shirt. Nerd: First question, Hal Jordan's original job... Trump: Security....

I feel smug when I order things from Amazon that they can't be making money on. Like, I know how much it costs to ship weight set plates with free Prime. * yeah, they're now selling my info for much more than any of this is worth, but smug with coffee....

Whenever I read about kickers, I think of John Madden writing about his always looking at the ground, never up, because the hashmarks showed where the uprights were. A tweet about the Patriots’ kicking advantage at home went viral. Here’s the full story www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

Serious question: Beyond regular maintenance necessary for any structure, was there anything actually wrong with the Reflecting Pool before Trump got his hands on it? www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

I got served this on Threads and accidentally woke my (very annoyed) husband from laughing so hard when I got to The Point.

Is this one of the "famous people who are in their 80s die in threes" scenarios? I'd like to nominate someone.

After he's fired, is Bartleby still technically a scrivener? With his preferring not to he's kind of renouncing the title. Or does one retain the titles for a certain period of time regardless?

worst sitcom you've watched HOMETOWN HONEYS. Pilot shown during summer, 2 hick towing companies compete. Each has hot tight-jean sister--good company blonde, evil company dark hair--ends with them fighting and falling into oil pit so covered in oil. Fever dream? Never found mention of it

🚨 Kentucky has announced the finalists in its "I Voted" sticker contest. 🚨 Per the Secretary of State: Kentuckians can vote for their favorite sticker at the SOS's booth at the State Fair from August 20-30.
