Don’t do delivery through West Elm via @sonomawilliams.bsky.social. Unless you want to be told your delivery window is 2-4, then 4-6 and it’s after 7 AND NO DELIVERY.

Hope everyone participates in the Great ShakeOut! Visit ready.gov/earthquakes for preparedness and safety tips!

Tuned in to see a special 20th anniversary “Dôme Coming” special for the @neworleanssaints.bsky.social and I’ve seen IDK… 25 commercials. Thanks, ESPN. Can we let NOLA have a second? Sheesh!

🌙 Jupiter will vanish behind the moon on Oct. 6—and early risers can catch the show. 🔭 October also brings prime views of Saturn and a meteor shower courtesy of Halley’s Comet. ✨ Our guide to what to see in the night sky—and when to look 👇 www.capitalweather.com/octobers-sky...

Out of the last two days, the dog has shit in the basement… both days. Made him some chicken and rice with pumpkin, so everyone keep your fingers crossed b/c I think my husband is going to lose him mind if it happens again. (I’ll call the vet for advice in the morning)

Darn shame that nobody with money or power over there gives a flaming shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Finally discovered The Residence on Netflix. Great show! Wondered why it was cancelled - DH said “apparently it was too expensive. Watching a few episodes makes must see that it must be. Do the next one somewhere cheaper and continue the series tho.

I haven’t been “ride a school bus age” since the Bronze Age but I am flummoxed how long it takes kids to get off the bus. These days, I would have to launch myself out a window to escape because them kids are sllooowww getting off the bus.

The seemingly carefree yet ardent nature of their posts has been charming and attention grabbing.

Happy National Preparedness Month to those who celebrate. Visit www.ready.gov/stand-ready to learn more!

Omg no, not Dolly. 😭

I got one of those wooble crochet kit and it’s cute but listening and watching the instructions is painful. The voice and pace are making me irrationally tense. Dang.

MF WHAT

@wtopnews.bsky.social heads up to folks trying to get to the Huntington metro via Huntington Ave - FFX PD had the road shut down and there’s no way to get around it.

Didn’t know Native Americans are considered immigrants by NYT.

NEW: NWS has confirmed a 5th tornado that struck Maryland Tuesday, and the 3rd in Anne Arundel County. This additional tornado occurred in the Riviera Beach area, about 15 miles north of Annapolis. It was rated EF0. The 5 tornadoes all struck within 14 minutes.

Trump ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program that millions of seniors to rely on is proof that he cares more about privatizing Medicare than he cares about seniors and families. Always money for war. Never money for health care. It's a grift and I'll be fighting back.

I feel like they’re being extra mean to John Kruk on this Sunday night baseball telecast.

Hey AMC theaters: already here don’t need four stupid promos for AMC theaters….

No lie. You should check the @cpsc.gov before you buy anything. Especially kids stuff, bed rail thingies for older adults and pool drain covers. They all seem rife with dangerous, faulty products and production!

I wish those glurge pet/animal accounts were required to admit they’re AI so I could block and mute them wholesale.

Tomorrow's combination of dangerous heat and unhealthy air is a serious threat to New Yorkers’ health. If you can, stay somewhere cool with air conditioning, limit time outdoors, drink plenty of water, and check on your neighbors — especially older New Yorkers and anyone with a health condition.

This morning’s sunrise thanks to wildfire smoke.

Omg @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social it’s Carl.

I’m sorry to that person but today’s New York Times cites a study with *SIXTY* participants. C’mon. I could do better by asking the people I know on social media the same question. (Does their sense of taste and smell diminish as they age.)

The Sun is back. Keep kids safe if you're opening the windows to stay cool this week.

I didn’t think this site would be flooded with ai bullshit, but here we are. So much of this crap and the ding dongs who are moved to tears by it.

Please watch out for your puppy's feet during the heatwave, friends. The ground becomes a burning hot cookie sheet.

Never hold, wear or attach fireworks to your body or clothing.

thousands of Americans are injured by fireworks every year. but thousands more are injured in bathrooms. so we made this safety video.

Sparklers burn at around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Never let kids play with sparklers.

Some people are maybe rightfully saying that this movie reference is a little dated, but here's the thing, here's the deal - we're old now. We're on the internet, but we are old and we got to teach the youth because the 15-to-24 age group accounted for the largest share of firework injuries in 2025.

It's that time of year when we have to tell people to not hold lit fireworks.

Flight attendant just came by to collect trash. We haven’t pushed away from the gate yet…

If you lose power due to flooding and own a portable generator, make sure you run it outdoors at least 20ft away from your home. A portable generator can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

During heavy rain: move to higher ground, stay out of basements & avoid unnecessary travel. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for updates. NYCEM: “Severe Thunderstorm Warning for NYC: Until 8:30 PM on 6/6. 60mph winds & penny-sized hail expected. weather.gov/okx. Multilingual & ASL: on.nyc.gov/2gDw5L2.”

Alexandria Hyundai service center is *the worst*

On the metro… train is holding at *every* damn station.

Word to the wise; going to brunch at 11:30 a.m. and getting home At 4 p.m. doesn’t do much for your productivity. 🤪🥴

Okay but is collapsed nostril actually a thing?

You know what I love? Asking a question in a meeting & having someone interrupt me to ASK THE SAME QUESTION IN A DIFFERENT WAY. Jeez.

Nothing should be “blue raspberry” flavored.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I am late to the ”everything bagel” seasoning on an avocado party, but I’m glad I finally tried it. Yum!
