We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Magic

I am so pleased with tonight’s cocktail hour that I am posting it into the ether here even though I never post and almost no one follows me*. Blistered shishito peppers and tomato martinis**!! *I do not care, I promise **garnish is a blossom from my garlic chives

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

Things your unhoused neighbors can use this summer, aside from the obvious: - candy (I get asks for this more than almost anything) - sunscreen (high SPF pls!) - lip balm (bonus for SPF) - electrolyte packets for water - cash - gift cards for fast food and/or accessible grocery stores 1/

When I die and get reborn as a cat, you won't know it's me but there will be signs.

…as I plan the next round of work on my 100+ yr old house, I feel this is a bit on the nose

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...

Literally spontaneously applauded this episode in our living room.

Text to a friend earlier tonight. Screamed so loud I scared the dog.

This is your reminder that after you make $184,500, you stop paying into Social Security. Millionaires hit that cap today. We are constantly told there's "not enough" money for Social Security. But we let America's richest people stop paying into it in March. Scrap the cap.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

This made me weepy

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Tobias Kinter Bencosme, 44, of Miami, FL, is an ICE Supervisory Detention Agent who participated in the illegal home invasion and kidnapping of an elderly American citizen in St Paul, MN on 1/18/2026. Bencosme dragged the Hmong grandfather outside in the frigid air wearing only boxers and a blanket.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

For the first 22 years, the Haw. For the last 30, the Cape Fear.

The world is a garbage fire. Take your dog to look at Christmas lights.

An excellent thread about a perfect movie. @nickfury325.bsky.social and @maxxwv.bsky.social, relevant to our collective interests.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney animated, or Pixar.

Rejected Hannibal holiday special…

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

One of my all-time favorites

Had a jump scare getting the mail today

Remember that while food banks welcome donations of food, they prefer $$$$$$$. They have deals with grocery stores and suppliers. You can only buy one dollar's worth of food for one dollar, but they can buy several dollars' worth. So don't, like, buy food to donate it, just give 'em the dough.

I am most animals.

I ain't never seen anyone steal food either.

A subject near and dear to my heart. This man speaks the truth.

It’s been a frustrating, scary, exhausting day on so many fronts, so I’m just gonna post some of my dahlias. This new hobby has been a lovely bit of joy in my life this year.

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. A pot of beans and a pan of cornbread 2. Fresh flowers 3. Open windows on a breezy day 4. A good joke 5. Clean sheets

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years. We don't suffer a lack of resources—but from an excess of greed.

GORGEOUS! We should all follow her example

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

unless someone specifically asks for advice it is actually pretty rude to offer it unsolicited, especially when the “advice” is basic “how to live your life as an adult” stuff

Holy shit, this woman. 😍😍😍

The bastards cancelled Boat Doctor!!!!

Because we all need this…

My life…

This has been one of the most valuable aspects of social media for me.

YES YES YES. ALL OF THIS.
