My dad walked out of Home Alone. We met him in the lobby after it ended and, on the walk to the car and the whole ride home, he was muttering and sputtering about “destruction of property”, which remains a family meme 35 years later. He was a real one.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences? Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

Feeling pretty secure in deleting all those @repchrispappas.bsky.social fundraising emails Hey @baldwin.senate.gov & @schiff.senate.gov & @govpritzker.illinois.gov why are you supporting this guy??

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It shouldn’t have taken me this long to cancel my @bostonglobe.com subscription (again) but at least it’s getting done. The only thing it had going was that it wasn’t quite the Herald yet, but woof they’re trying

#5 Dad Can Hurt You With His Apple Think dad can smash not the shell because his HANDS have business with the APPLE? You should think of it again. Dad can hurt you with his apple in the air. Get apple back crack and its PROBLEMS to your life. You died. So you CAN always stay alert of dad's apple!

New England Wildlife Center has been part of my monthly giving for almost 10 years; they do such great work for a population of animals that no other org in the area can help

I have the most wonderful story for you all today: baby alligator spotted in Charles River, then immediately rescued by local reptile enthusiast

Remember to never post something from your own lived experience, even if that’s clear and you don’t generalize. You must account for infinite other situations in <300 characters or remain silent. Being facetious, dry, droll, or anything else less serious than death is punishable by scolding.

And much like then, I don’t get how this isn’t fraud

What really bugs me about these guys - not just the ones at the top, but the local ones and their local voters, the $80k truck and monochrome flag T-shirt set - they deign to lecture me about how I should live my life and how my family should operate, and they're all on the edge of ruin at all times

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

147 ground miles in just under six days. Fedex originally estimated I'd receive this package on Sunday the 19th. In Boston.

Every single rationalisation for contributing to X, volunteering time and effort help prop up not just Elon Musk's ad revenues but his overarching white supremacist colonial project, is shallow and nonsensical Yes [insert group] is still on there. That is bad, and you should fight that, not succumb

Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week. Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK? It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.

My husband has been in the same huge group chat since he started texting on a T9, with the same guys he's known since middle school, and the only thing that could embarrass them about it going public is possibly how goddamn goofy they all are? possibly related: husband is not a dirtbag

Absolutely. Devaluation of the PhD was a huge part of my decision to leave my studies. Anyway, *all* faculty unions should have joined in loud, unqualified support for unionizing/-ed grad students. USPS letter carriers can tell you what happens when you want a another class to absorb your shit.

buddy people on bluesky from communists who hate the democrats to actual partisan dems are not here to demand you be a democrat mouthpiece, we just want your paper to stop being an amoral wasteland pretending that it isn't, run by and full of amoral creeps like you pretending that you're not

I've blocked all AI features from Zoom at work, but since this garbage only started once Zoom forced AI into everything, I assume it's AI. Anyway, I don't know how you claim AI is transcription magic when it can't even deal with coughing, throat clearing, and verbal pauses.

Furious about busting my ass on the stairs last night, but (and I feel SO guilty about this) somewhat relieved to be freed of the anxiety about taking my tot to a protest I’ve been extremely sick, injured, or just down for the count parenting a baby for every protest I’ve wanted to hit since 2018

This is for men “Hard to pocket” = it’s going to end up in his wife’s purse “Fatigues your hand” = he’s just going to ask her to use her phone look up stuff, put things in the calendar, and call his fucking mother

[extremely thousand-yard stare voice]: If you’re taking your little kid to mini golf for the first time, prepare them for not getting to keep the golf ball. Punk had three (3) meltdowns over this: immediately after the ball disappearing on the 18th hole, on the ride home, and then again at home.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van. Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.
