If the celebrity-named, big-eared critter wins, it would be Oregon’s fourth consecutive bat-pageant champion. https://mrf.lu/2HK24

Does @mlb.com care that FOX is running ads during the WS that are promoting a white race war?

Has anyone told the NY Times that the president is a rapist?

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I guess those Russian troll farms are back up and running. Bots are running free tonight on BlueSky

Fact: RFK Jr is a white supremacist and eugenicist who is trying to cull Americans. Stop sane-washing anything he says

Algebra, Aristotle, and numerous Nobel Prize winners would like to have a word with WormBrain.

There is a certain pettiness to challenging a pitch call. I found it satisfying.

Fox is so toxic they couldn’t even devote an entire segment to Roberto Clemente and his amazing award. How much longer do they own that contract?

Fox has managed to soak the series in putrid things, Non-stop political ads, nonstop ads for AI, gambling sites all featuring artists and celebrities who should know better.

Is there a mercy rule in the World Series?

Almost feeling sorry for the Florida baseball team that knows that not only is it getting whupped, but most of us are cheering for that to happen.

I had a lot of doubts about watching S4 The Diplomat. But watching how they’ve drawn together the multiple ways that couples communicate and how countries communicate and the ways that negotiation is about learning to empathize is really good. What this has meant for revealing character has been 💡

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

The naked racism of the MAGA ad that ran during the 4th quarter of the Seahawks-Chiefs game still managed to surprise me with how little they are trying to hide exactly who they are

Oregon starting to investigate Bend shooter’s ties to 764 and NeoNazis. This is my shocked face.

@sethcotlar.bsky.social Did you see that they’re now investigating Bend shooter’s ties to 764?

The creepy Meta ad playing on Fox during baseball featuring the music of David Bowie was quite the trip to the Uncanny valley

If you’re going to date the CIA, it has to be a discrete relationship or else the Marco gets jealous.

Wondering at what point my ghost peppers will need to be tested with a Geiger counter (Large number on my plant)

I forgot the WS is on Fox. Those craptastic AI videos are just a taste of the horror to come.

If you’re still thinking about the disastrous appearance by the misogynist/racist comic on SNL, may I suggest a British comedian whose rage is progressive and funny af. (And yes. He uses certain words that offend Americans in their most British context) youtu.be/uomLlydZpNU?...

Bored billionaires wreck everything they touch. Especially those who feel they’re members of the nepotocracy.

Writing milestone reached: Just broke a Chemex pot (2 so far) working on the same writing project.

Still time to register to vote in New York, but not much. Saturday is it! Please register if you haven’t.

Words that I have to look up multiple times despite possessing a facility with language. Necessary (spelled it right this time) Pelopponesian (every single time, I spell it wrong) Any words you consistently stumble over?

May the happy bats bring you much joy this weekend. Oh and for those who’ve not seen it, there’s a post below with many more of our flying friends. 🦇 👇

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

I hate with every fiber of my being what is happening to Catapult Books and the way the corporation chose to sacrifice the company rather than face its corporate bad decisions.

If you don’t know by now that Trump will abandon you, I don’t know what to tell you.

2026 is turning out to be a year where we keep losing the folks who matter to us while we wait for …. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I want to stop living in a nation where you have to learn to game the system in order to thrive.

In case this is helpful, Trusted Petsitters offers a “premium” membership in which they will compensate you if a sit ends early. Turns out, they lied about that. It is unpaid gig labor and you’re on your own. Caveat emptor

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?

You know, the place where I’ve been stuck is trying to understand a system in which reason is believing that naming the bodies you’ll sacrifice is the price of democracy. It still comes down to assuming that consent means that someone (never them) has to raped to win a rhetorical argument.
