You can't make this up. 😂

Criselda Vasquez, American, The New American Gothic, 2017, oil on canvas, 72 x 48 in, private collection The artist's father, portrayed in the painting, was kidnapped by ICE on 31 March 2026

I know I'm not supposed to be up here, but can I PLEASE stay? PLEASE?!?!

NO!!!! This is MY travel hack!!! All you assholes keep travelling in the summer. October is MINE!!!!!! www.cnbc.com/2026/09/04/f...

Dolly has died. A shittier year just got shittier. 😩

The United States is a genuine shit show that makes me very sad but this pup makes it a joy to get up everyday.

What better way to spend a Monday morning besides hanging out pool side?

Terrible day to be traveling by air.

I really liked it here on Blue Sky when I defected from the former bird app. There was very little vitriol and Trump bullshit. Today? It's just as bad as the former bird app. 🥺

It's Monday which means many of you are probably either depressed or at least feeling "meh". So, have a Monday AM pup n' kitty to brighten your day!

It seems like no one has come up with a term to adequately describe this time in history. I propose: The Great Disintegration. 😑

Well to be honest, if you can't do without "service" for a 350 miles flight, then you should just drive. I always thought this was pretty ridiculous.

Delta, some service changes

This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

Health "insurance" is fubar'd, we all know this. I have GREAT insurance, but lately, I pay a co-pay/cost share, then get a check back because I paid too much, then a follow up bill for not paying enough, then another check for paying too much. WTF is happening?!?

I see a lot of discourse on the cost of Coke being $9 for a 12 pack. How about this? Stop buying from the "big boys" and go with the original gangster...RC Cola. It tastes so much better and it's a lot cheaper!

"Looking at"? Bullshit. It's already happening. A ticket I booked about 2 months ago on UAL to Costa Rica is now priced at THREE TIMES the cost I paid.

Easter brisket about to hit the smoker. First attempt using the Costco Wagyu version but there is lots of fat on it, so I'm thinking it'll be pretty good!

This dog's life is insufferable.

Well, if you were wondering if AI might be the final straw in our existence, this will probably remove any doubt.

Oh @economist.com

Nothing sounds more professional than "Nano Banana 2". 🤨

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH. Good god what a child

Please, for all that is holy, stop saying the following: 1. Hot Take 2. Make it Make Sense 3. I Said What I Said

For those out there living the suck that is Monday work after a long break, remember, "when you die, there will still be unread emails."

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Nice

1. He didn’t have the authority to change the name of The Dept of Defense, and he doesn’t have the authority to change the name of the Kennedy Center. 2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.

"I know I'm not supposed to be on the back of the couch...but..."

Sounds about right.

“Donnie, come to Mommy. It’s time. Come toward the golden light.”

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

What. A. Life.

This guy should just sit down already. I'm tired of old white dudes telling us the solution to EVERYTHING.

Basking in the sun...what a miserable life.

Everyday I am reminded that in the next life, I want to live the life our dogs do...

"Classic Rock"?!? Um, no.
