One time my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I told her “classic comedy props”. I got a fun slide whistle.

As a devout Christian, I just make up stories about Jesus that fit my right wing political narrative.

So did American taxpayers foot a cash bribe to an admin official? Does he get to keep it? Does this count on his GS pay scale? Assuming he declares it, is it regular income or capital gains? Can a state prosecute for fraud?

The thing about the first time the FBI catches you on camera receiving a $50,000 bribe is it's definitely not the first time you've received a $50,000 bribe.

The world is falling apart, but there's nothing I can do, so here's another blog post in the vein of my others. No theory, just a fun little advertisement and a vignette from my friends and I playing a fun little game: lizardsaintstone.blogspot….

Ok. This isn’t for the first edition collection-it isn’t even fiction. Just a cool book.

🦬 The natural history of quadrupeds, and cetaceous animals Bungay, [England]: Printed and published by Brightly and Co, 1811. [Source]
Illustration of a European bison standing on a patch of ground with sparse grass and rocks. The bison is depicted with a robust body, shaggy mane around its neck and shoulders, curved horns, and detailed fur texture. The image is a black and white engraving on aged paper from an 1811 natural history book, showing anatomical features in a lifelike pose. The title "EUROPEAN-BISON" is printed near the feet, emphasizing the subject of this historical scientific illustration.

Another illustration from my mom’s book that I’m reposting here! www.abebooks.com/products….
This is a grayscale digital drawing of a candelabra. The smoke rising from four candles twists into the shape of skulls.

I told my family we should go to the Huntington Library gardens the next time we’re in LA based on Mina’s skeets. And now I’m here against my will on an NFL Sunday. Just an all-time backfire on my part

Francisco Goya
@franciscogoya.bsky.social

binding: mottled calf, gilt tooled with a green panel on spine lettered: CAPRICH DE GOYA; endpapers: contemporary Spanish marbled papers
Francisco Goya’s series Los Caprichos contains layers of meaning that even today challenge the modern viewer. Mia’s copy is a rare presentation proof containing early printings of all eighty images. In the first half, Goya explored themes of superstition, sensuality, greed, and violence with scenes set in Spanish brothels, salons, and prisons. The second half is given over to fantastic images from the artist’s dreams and nightmares. Even though Goya tried to disguise his attacks on Spanish society, he withdrew the set from sale because he had been reported to the Inquisition, a tribunal that ruled with lethal authority.

Got to visit @powells.bsky.social’s city block sized bookstore last month in Portland, Oregon. Multiple floors filled with new and used books on just about anything you can think of, even a rare books room 👀
Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon
4 large vertical chalkboards displaying award winning books and authors on one of the floors of Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon
An end cap of books for sale at Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon. The chalkboard at top of the 6 shelf bookcase says “SALE” in purple.

Titles that caught photographer’s eye first:
• By The Fire We Carry, The generation-long fight for justice on native land — Rebecca Nagle
• The New Jim Crow, Mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness — Michelle Alexander
• The Age of Inequality, Corporate America’s war on working people
• Ejaculate Responsibly, A whole new way to think about abortion — Gabrielle Blair
• How Democracies Die, What history reveals about our future — Steven Levitsky & Daniel Ziblatt
A visual wall display on one of the stair landings at Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon. Blue letter balloons on a yellow background read:

#BookHistory a new episode of #BookTok. I wonder if people have prepared Bibles for the previous Rapture announcements? PS Also, who was doing research on highlighters for Bibles at @sharpnews.bsky.social? @renskehoff.bsky.social @bibliowingate.bsky.social

According to TikTok, the Rapture will be on September 23.
