"Old dirty Volvo" sounds like the most annoying member of an all-white Wu Tang cover group.

found out Larry David just starts verbally abusing Alan Dershowitz whenever he sees him, this is very good

My sincere condolences to the family, but my first thought on seeing the photo was 🎶Master Ninja Theme Song.🎵 #mst3k

I mean, Jimmy Carter told Americans to put on a sweater and conservatives revere him to this day for it, so yeah... checks out.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

And as an aside, taking up Tunisian crochet this year helped me maintain my sanity-- less time spent obsessing over the news, more creative juice to keep up the fight. It's an obvious bit of advice, but also a great excuse to share a photo of Puja.

I mean, I don't want to start some shit or anything, but I would've said... 7 pounds 8 ounces?

please dear sweet merciful eight pound six ounce newborn infant jesus please make this fucking story go away

I hate to repost something with "🧵" given my rando status and all, but this is fun.

I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex. He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country. He serviced the government.

Part of me would be delighted to see a hologram of Isaac Asimov pop up and reveal that he has retroactively become the richest man in the galaxy by suing Musk for IP theft.

Good news everybody: Grokipedia will contain all knowledge about the universe and will be distributed periodically throughout the solar system

I took a break from the usual fantasy novels to read Judy Blume's Blubber in elementary school to see what all the girls were reading, and it was *revelatory*.

America! Your expats and your friends are *always* with you! Sending you love and courage and #NoKings solidarity and frog costumes from Melbourne, Australia. Make fascism history again!

So we've got *that* in common.

Sagappa Joe, the mascot of Sagami Women’s University, is a kappa who lives in the pond in the school garden, despite not being able to swim. He is renowned for his shapely buttocks.

I really liked Bryan Magee's "The Great Philosophers," which is an accessible overview and beginner reference work. And widely available.

OK people this is not a drill - my cousin has expressed an interest in philosophy, she needs a book recommendation. What's a good thing to read if you have no philosophy background?

"Fellow fascists, this is the Super Bowl we're talking about-- we need the greatest entertainers on the planet! Get me Ray Stevens, Yakov Smirnoff, and let's see... is there an Anita Bryant tribute act we can book?!"

I've abandoned almost all of my language policing stuff over the years, but every time I see 'archeology' I feel like something's being stolen from me.

🧵David Kurtz is doing a tremendous service with Morning Memo in 2025, and today's is an excellent example. #tpm

Amid reports that newly appointed USA Lindsey Halligan will seek to indict James Comey on bogus charges of lying to Congress after her predecessor declined to, it’s a good time to do a reset ahead of the wave of Trump-driven political prosecutions. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Another in a series of simple observations that comes close to breaking me: "It would take only 4 GOP Senators, or 6 to 7 Representatives, to save the country."

Great read from @delong.social‬! I'm seemingly tailor-made for Conan fandom, yet never could appreciate the stories for some of the very reasons he outlines. And some bonus rumination of the labor of fandom. Oh, and some literary theory, but that's just the nerd icing on the nerd cake. 😄

Brad DeLong@braddelong.bsky.social

Is Conan the Barbarian Actually Good? A Cimmerian strides through my brain between my retina and my frontal lobe, boasting “I live, I love, I slay, and am content!” This is not good literature. &, yet, somehow… it is.
