Full in this rapid wake, and many fathoms in the rear, swam a huge, humped old bull

Thinking about being backstage at The Viper Room when I was 18. Which now that I think of it, is insane, tf was I doing there? But also, I was a lot cooler than I thought I was.

An hour and forty minutes of my descent into madness. Enjoy!

Three of our wins have come against undefeated teams

in the deep shadows of his eyes floated some reminiscences that did not seem to give him much joy

I only have Britbox for basic bitches so I’ve just seen the first three because they roll out weekly, but I’m so happy to have my favorite absolute maniac Lucy back in my life. we all agree that she married the wrong brother and the narrative is really driving that home, yes??

this documentary is so good

This Obama fellow sure is a good speaker. Shame that at 65 he’s apparently still way too young to be president

If you can, get pet Insurance. I wish I’d done it a lot sooner than I did.

I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

“He took great umbrage” as a dunk is something I didn’t know I needed

This is really impressive: youtube.com/shorts/b74ZZ...

sometimes my life is crazy (complimentary)

A piece of NYC movie history dies tomorrow; it's the last day of operations for Cinema 1, 2, and 3 on 3rd Avenue. From the 1960s into the 1980s, Cinema 1 and 2 were the most sought-after bookings in Manhattan. That street, which also housed the Baronet and Coronet, was known as The Block. >

NYC 🤝 MKE ✅Breaking decades long championship barriers ✅history of socialist mayors

Dude is literally, openly, fleeing the country??? The US takes people's passports when they've committed crimes and are deemed a flight risk?

It's been a fun research trip / vacation with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social up the coast--including visiting bookstores and signing my books. Any recs for bookstores roughly north of Arcata, CA but south of Florence, OR?

Brewers fans are going to get so drunk. They were already drunk, but they’re going to get to drunk 2.

Congrats to Brewers Nation, and to the city of Milwaukee, and to the state of Wisconsin. A richly deserved championship.

milwaukee: drunk and praying

This is a good point. Everyone has been talking about exotic and fancy apple varieties but pears literally get the princess treatment

lol my otter photo at dusk as they zigged and zagged staring at a tourist m down the beach.

can't tell if it speaks well or ill of academic philosophy that a major fault line has been between analytic ("you think hockey's a sport? define necessary and sufficient conditions for sport right now" ) and continental ("if you think about it the category of sport is kind of like a cabbage")

Moisturize your face with the highest possible SPF available, even (especially) in winter. In any work situation, but especially if you are an author, assistants get your maximum kindness.

this business of whaling has somehow come to be regarded among landsmen as a rather unpoetical and disreputable pursuit

My dog does not understand why I need to brush him so much before his grooming appointment this weekend, only that he does not like it. Brushing also makes him extra floofy.

Since we are all correctly talking about how amazing apples are, here are my choices for apples: At a grocery store: Cosmic Crisp, Opal, LucyGlo Orchard: Jonathan, GoldRush, SunCrisp, Cortland, Golden Russet, Ashmead’s Kernel, Esopus Spitzenburg, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Blue Pearmain, Arkansas Black

Spent tonight reading the collected works of Veronica Geng and it is genuinely impossible to imagine her working today, she was so much of the 20th century

I’m proud of our students and colleagues who worked to hold the provost accountable.

"Hey, sis!" "Hey, baby bro! Where's big brother?" "Maybe he's with dad. He's been kind of upset ever since he retired two weeks ago." "We should take him out. Mom's birthday is tomorrow." I will not name the TV show; I will just say that this kind of writing makes me question the existence of God.

“This band sounds like a nu metal Soen,” I say aloud before remembering that everyone else on Earth died years ago

What I love about BlueSky is wandering into people nerding out about heirloom apple varieties! Applesky for the win !

I admit that I chuckled...

Here's the thing: If you keep track of deaths, eventually there are three of them.

I didn't know this existed till about ten minutes ago. BARBARA BARRIE AS CORIE'S MOTHER.

Here's a charming photo of Barbara Barrie as Viola in a 1969 production of Twelfth Night.

We are in for a full week of interviews with "undecided voters" telling journalists, "I can't afford shoes or food anymore, and that bothers me, but I just don't like that Democrats are trans-ing kids at the Cheesecake Factory." We just have to breathe through it.

I am a bit flummoxed by this move. Are they thinking this makes it nice likely he can pitch Game 7 if necessary? If not, why pull a guy other than because he’s become bad?

new dimensions in accursedness

You guys can see this too, right?

I was trying to plug my laptop in under the couch in my parents’ living room and scooted out from underneath it in such a way as to tear the median meniscus in my left knee. had surgery with full anesthesia on Christmas morning

YES YES THIS IS THE TAKE

[unconfortably] wooo! states’ rights!

Well, ambushing him and then lying vigorously about being attacked first did

gonna be on the BBC in about ten minutes to talk about the legacy of labor icon Dolores Huerta (!)

The older I get the more I understand why my dad got so excited about a particularly good episode of Antiques Roadshow

Feels like he has shifted his rhetorical gear in recent weeks, even from other appearances since he left office.

I just said, aloud, what the fuck.

The power of punctuation has just presented itself here in a post whose central comma turns the post’s meaning entirely on its head, and I have no intention of naming/shaming, but neither, alas, can I come up with a fake version that does the same thing. Anyway: It was very impressive.

I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance.

I think this is probably not going to be good for Republicans on Tuesday

The funny thing about the "how to scale a recipe" thing happening in my mentions is that I was 7 out of 9 kids when I was growing up. I never made a single recipe of ANYTHING until I was in my teens.

I told y'all years ago claiming cancelation is just a marketing tool.

I told you guys Stevens was a racist fuck

it's his co-anchors face that sends me

sorry but this won't work on me. I came up in the '90s, when every other white woman with a Bettie Page haircut was insufferable

Hey, northern Californians: I signed all my books at Booklegger, Eureka Books, and Northtown Books. Three fabulous bookstores!

Tyrese Haliburton is dressed like a substitute teacher on Boy Meets World

well I guess it worked because I have no idea who tf you are

these true crime shows are getting wilder and wilder

Always wonder what’s happening in my brain when I get the purple Connections category first.

In exactly two weeks and fifteen minutes, I'll be headlining the Bell House as part of the New York Comedy Festival! You can get your tickets now!

Gotta say that feels less like a mistake and more like a kickoff

this magazine loves the dimes square dorks so much despite the year being two thousand twenty six

this magazine loves the dimes square dorks so much despite the year being two thousand twenty six

a cool thing that out political leaders could do to honor Dolores Huerta is commit to ending the exclusion of farm and domestic workers from the protections of the NLRA or they could just tweet si se puede idk one of the two

Sidekicks are a superior design!

I should have asked for the linear version of grief where if Tuesday is better than Monday then Wednesday is better than Tuesday, it is just logic

paying Christopher Meloni to stand in the front row with his back to Trump during the final days of the campaign

the seamen went below to their dinner

How is BSky ever gonna make money

only one person ever tried to bully me. it went on for a few weeks in 7th grade, until i attacked him in the middle of gym class while calling him a son of a bitch. he stopped after that, and moved away a few months later

It's ... bad we have a prestige press that has such an obvious and easily gamed racism exploit.

They do not actually want to make a piece of software that we even like using so good luck with that lol www.404media.co/microsoft-wa...

My husband keeps getting scam texts, asking me if he would like to get nude photos from a particular woman. And that woman has the name of both my mother and grandmother. Both deceased. Extremely sexxxxy AI scam, going great

I'm sympathetic to the idea here - we should try to figure out how to answer / cultivate this sort of demand - but I'm pretty skeptical of this approach. How much of Moby Dick or The Iliad can you really talk through in 1-2 lectures, especially if doing close reading for the first time?

if you see me on the first flight to Des Moines it's because Casey's just announced their first new pizza since 2023 while all you people were talking about politics or culture or w/e when NEW PIZZA AT THE CASEY'S www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/...

my friend Robert Schneider of the Apples in Stereo just sent me a link to the first album he's produced for somebody else in 20 years. it's a blast of sunlight! track 7 has some famous guests on it who sound so exactly like themselves it's a real treat. stefchuraband.bandcamp.com/album/dancin...

I am going to see WILDWOOD this weekend because the level of detail deserves a huge screen youtube.com/shorts/EaSf2...

I'm glad Stevens lost. She would have been HORRENDOUS in office.

Prodigy is a spectacular show on so many levels and it truly gets the heart and soul of Star Trek, but crucially it is also the best Voyager sequel you could possibly imagine. Janeway deserved to be written by women who grew up with Janeway as their hero. And s2 gets Chakotay on a molecular level

I love blocking racist white people.

Ohhhhh this 👇🏻👇🏻The stuff about Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga is what I want you to read, it is one of my favorite books series of all time. The two novels I have read the most, ever: pride and prejudice, shards of honor, the first book in that series. It’s perfect. 👇🏻👇🏻

At the risk of opening up the "is it a fruit or a vegetable discourse"... If pumpkin is a fruit, it is literally *the* most overrated one out there!

I am collaborating with @blackbirdletterpress.com again this year on a notebook. 50% of proceeds will go to REBUILD. I appreciate this wonderful partnership. Stay tuned!

of all the people and entities I used to love who are now fully AI-pilled, this is one of the ones that breaks my heart the most. their ENTIRE REASON FOR EXISTENCE was to democratize human art making and insist that writing a novel was something any of us could do

I think this range of responses is really interesting: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

White reconciliation politics

Now this is an argument

Between this and actually doing reporting re: the infamous Ohio ad....what's up NRO

I finally finished reading Rachel Handler's incredible feature on "the ongoing debasement of chocolate". @rusty.todayintabs.com accurately described it as magnificent, delirious and full of exemplary sentences. A very strong candidate for Bloomberg's Jealousy List and the National Magazine Awards.

It's been a while since we've had a good food war on social media. Discuss.

Absolutely delighted to publish this piece by Faten Mhadheb in partnership with @egabco.bsky.social, who spent the shoeleather required to report directly on the constant suspicion of African immigrants to France during the cost-of-living protests.

If you are planning to vote and you can vote early, you really should.

I can't believe I found out about this on instagram and not bsky "The database also allows users to search for court documents, complaints, and FOIA requests associated with DHS employees on Document Cloud, an open-source software. The database also includes the manager of each employee"

Ms. Rachel and Mr. Aaron's Caterpillar is a masterpiece of the children's music that is secretly for adults genre
