Hiccup is so cute when he’s sleeping. And I especially love it when he snores. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

NEW: "It’s been hell." "I’m dead inside." "I honestly don’t know if I will ever find work in the U.S. again, let alone D.C." "It’s akin to screaming into a void." What is going on with D.C.'s job market? Contributor Abi Newhouse investigated:

Looks like reality is fighting really hard to cancel @theonion.com or the new republic headline editor is auditioning for a job with them.

The same day he acknowledges he lost, the government made him surrender his passport so he can’t leave the country. This is how it’s done. Perhaps the most damaging thing his administration did. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

What makes special education teaching jobs so hard to fill? NPR set out to find some answers by talking to more than a dozen teachers who do this work every day. n.pr/4zRuUyO

Sure sign millennials are in middle age. Just saw a car commercial using Eagles of Death Metal. Hahahahaha

I saw them on this tour (and three other tours) and they were amazing. My copy on vinyl is one of my prized records.

Graham's behavior is less egregious than the complicity of the Hill in not outing him as the ignorant hypocritical fuckbag everyone knew he was. Congress is venal and the "open secrets" are exemplary of this. newrepublic.com/post/216967/...

It’s a good night for stand up (Kathleen Madigan) and a hot whisky (or two). My recipe is simple. Two ounces of Jameson’s, a tablespoon of honey from my brother in-law’s hive, and hot water.

MD DOL has a two hour wait time to speak with someone!! I think someone stole my ID for unemployment, but I can't connect with anyone to figure it out. @govwesmoore.bsky.social

We turned the other way and moved forward after Watergate, which led us directly into the mess we're in today. People must be held accountable if we want our Democracy to survive.

My interview went well. 20 minutes, four questions, no follow-ups. It was a first round, but it felt rushed because I'm trying to express 20+ years of experience in 20 minutes, in a way I'm guessing the panel wants to hear it. Weird to think my career depends on my doing that successfully.

I disavowed ice in my Manhattan last night. It was a good decision.

Two former colleagues help in my job search (one connected me to a hiring manager, the other just helped me prep for an interview). I realize, despite being gaslit by my former agency, that I made an impact on them. Job hunting really makes one doubt themselves and they won't let me do it.

Hiccup treats napping as his medium. He’s perfected the art of being cozy. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

i don't normally repost things like this, but I wish they would turn this video in a limited series. The dude can go around the country visiting senior centers while recruiting for defense of the wall. #GOT #karaoke

Charter schools, vouchers, magnet programs are all tools of segregationists.

They confiscated nearly 19,000 lbs of narcotics without having to blow up one fishing boat. Amazing!

Trying to be even the slightest bit productive during Chemically Enhanced Nighttime™️ is proving to be a fun ride. @elgringofeo.bsky.social

I have been playing a ton of Wingspan. The video game version allows me to play with others or alone. I’m clearly not good at it. Still experimenting with strategies but damn I enjoy this. stonemaiergames.com/games/wingsp...

Barclay loves the heating pad. He steals it anytime I use it and get up. Doesn’t understand the concept of saving my seat. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles

Take a few minutes to read this. It's a great op-ed on housing. Gift article. Here's the kicker, and I've seen this to be true during 20 years of work in a local government agency. #housing #homeless www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/o...

Okay so we have a number now: the Onion is officially 6 months ahead of reality.

I agree with the premise but the nbc site is a mass of clickbait ads.

How far away from running man are we

#Dogsofbluesky, I need help! For the last 2 months Hiccup dumps his kibble on the floor and then eats it off the floor. He only does it with his bowl; he will eat Barclay’s out of the bowl (they get the same kibble). He also never flips the bowl. Please repost and/or offer behavioral thoughts. #dogs

Dots and Loops. Stereolab on the deck is a great start. #vinyl #recordsky

Hiccup can be wistful with his big eyes and squishy face. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Extremely grateful for these two grocery store ladies recreating Prodigy’s Firestarter

Hiccup has personified the mood for today. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Now playing. #vinyl #recordsky

More Cranes. Loved on the deck now. #vinyl #recordsky

It’s overcast today with intermittent rains. So let’s set the mood with Population Four. The album that was a mid 90’s soundtrack for me. #vinyl #recordsky

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

Chemically Enhanced Nighttime™️ asks: how is Fluffer-Nutter Butter cookies not a thing

Calypso legend Mighty Sparrow has died at 91. Ona of the Trinidadian’s best-known songs was 1967’s “Congo Man” which touched on topics such as racial inequality, interracial sex and political strife. Sparrow performing the song live in 1995. #RIPMightySparrow m.youtube.com/watch?v=SDV2...

Barclay is here for a visit which means doggie tug of war. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodled

Hiccup recently learned he can slide behind the blinds when they are closed. This is actually protecting them from getting damaged. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Sometimes owning a dog is like walking onto a set for a murder mystery. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Gordon Parks is one of the greatest American photographers ever and should be way more prominent in any discussion of American culture, history, and art. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Peepshow. IMO it’s towards the bottom of their best but The Killing Jar is just Siouxie at her best. #vinyl #recordsky
