Hanging out at Squatters brewpub for the first time in 14 years. Beer's still good.

Hi @maryanningsrevenge.bsky.social just popping back on Bsky to tell you my daughter adores your book and called it the "touch bones" book (she's 2.75 years old). Amazing book and a must have for the nature and dinosaur kids.

I think I need someone on Etsy to start making these immediately.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

From the bottom of my heart, as someone who worked on the Ocean Observatories Initiative, dismantling this is a terrible idea. I'm furious. oceanobservatories.org/2026/06/trum...

I'm sorry WHAT aliens.gov

President Kamacho wouldn't even have done this.

www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u... He cannot go to hell quickly enough.

You know there are two things that are gonna happen when it happens. Unless it's a very, very obvious or on-camera moment - His followers will have a new Elvis that "isn't really dead" OR His followers will use his death to solidify that some kind of leftist conspiracy killed him.

Wait, is the reason that everything you buy at the grocery store now has "added protein!" because we couldn't sell any of our soybeans so it all got sold into protein powder food derivatives?

I'm beginning to adopt a protocol with toys that is channeling @altonbrown.bsky.social's hatred for "unitaskers" - if it only does one specific thing, I don't want it.

I want to believe this, but what part of this is the AI-summary cannibalization that's affecting ALL websites?

I know Utah has its share of issues but my goodness the land is gorgeous.

If it were written today, We didn't Start the Fire would definitely include Trouble in the Hormuz.

Remember pop up videos? Maybe we can overlay actual facts on top of whenever Trump speaks? With that same noise?

There's a hidden illiteracy problem in the United States. And it isn't just kids without access to education, it's the greater adult population. People guess at what things say instead of actually reading. It's terrifying.

I'll never get over the fact that this administration appointed the least qualified people imaginable and no one could stop them.

::clears throat:: If your assessment of Maine's political landscape is "well, they voted for LePage, so..." Go look up what % of Maine voted for him. I'll wait. Or, better yet ... Accept that it's all more complex than can fit in a tweet

Thanks dementia Don.

I need to make a yard flag that starts with "In this house we believe..." And then just says Susan Collins Sucks

Would society really be fucked if we had a 4 day workweek? I feel like we should be able to do this without anything falling apart

YES, THIS.

IMHO all Maine democrats need to do is align their messaging on Platner as the following: Collins - elite, out of touch, ineffective, old Platner - working dude, mainer, real, new "like you" You don't even have to do issues or swing a big blue flag, I promise.

The fact that we haven't universally been calling him "Fucker" Carlson disappoints me.

Oh, in addition to all the WWII Nazi stuff, we're going full WWI also. #1918flu

Do you ever wonder what the total volume or average number of emails and text sent per day just for 2-factor authentication is? It must be staggering.

If anyone's confused about what's going on in the strait of Hormuz, I highly recommend a YouTuber that has the channel name. "What's going on with shipping?" The man is a treasure and it puts things into context. Source: YouTube share.google/2KQjC9bqJOVF...

Don't let Canva and AI design calendars, y'all. It is really bad at conveying info in a way humans need to see it.

Removed the brewery name here, but this has to be one of the worst ways to display information on a calendar I've seen... they have multiple locations but let's see what's going on each day... Not location???

Hahahaaa just realized Mamdani is gonna be sending a tax bill to Trump because he doesn't live there, he lives in Mar-A-Lago / the white house hahahaha

Anyone freaking out about new taxes for the rich needs to look up how much we USED to tax the rich. We didn't make this up, folks, they just weaseled their way out of it over the last 20-30 years.

Toddler T-shirts shouldn't cost $25.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Everyone can chill with the calls for Mainers to "do something" about Golden. He's not seeking reelection.

There's a group of people that I just seriously don't understand and can't empathize with: those who are never curious about anything. How can you not be curious about life? What's around you? History? Nature? Culture? What a sad life to never want to know anything.
