A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him
I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
Might need to just do another full rewatch honestly

Wait you put the cereal in the bowl first? Really?
Oh shit this on pitch riot at the end of Celtic v Rangers in the Scottish Cup is absolutely nuts. Rangers supporters in masks shooting flares into the Celtic end.
Albert Pujols in manager glasses
Nothing has hammered home that I’m in my mid-to-late 30s quite like seeing Manager Glasses Albert Pujols.
Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap
Do you mean she is selecting one poster (a lovely piece of art) or do you mean she is selecting one poster (a degenerate that skeets on here) because I’m going to have pretty different submissions depending on the answer.
Don at Del Ray Picture Framing (next to Purple Goose) does great work, and he’s an incredible artist in his own right.
Everyone should have one low stakes issue they’re a total crank about and mine is that it’s unforgivable how early we do this parade.
Did you see they’re doing a Star City prequel series?
I love this for Dusty so much. I guarantee the reason is that he was like, following some Nicaraguan trumpet player on tour through Central American jazz clubs and he randomly met the head of their baseball federation.
Higher ed is strugging in part because we've let others tell our story—and they're telling it wrong. Higher ed is our nation’s essential engine of progress and a key American expression of opportunity, individual drive, and shared prosperity. Our story is not just for a few, it's for all of us:
A city of Alexandria “I Voted” sticker on a plaid shirt

Of course the dude behind the worst company on earth is some “we have Sam Bankman-Fried at home” looking motherfucker.
No it goes to high school in Canada, you wouldn’t know it.
Marta you are ruining the carefully curated reputation I’ve built as someone that only reads award winning Irish literature and nothing else.
Need to give full credit to the other maniac on this one, it’s utterly genius. I laughed so hard when I saw it in the draft doc.
Good morning, Alexandria! It's finally Friday and we have underpants gnomes, slutty Ben Franklin, poop-splosions, and one very unnecessary ballad in today's issue of ALXtra with @oconnell.bsky.social
Never heard of it.
Timothee Chalamet and Bad Bunny are at the Tokyo Dome watching the World Baseball Classic
The unifying feature of Trump administration foreign and security "policy" is a failure to understand anything at all about strategy, like even at a conceptual level

I'm running a special on email subscriptions to my Washingtonian Today roundups. Normally $0, they're free if you sign up today:
“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”
And 165 non-artificial schoolchildren were blown up by all this advanced and precise targeting. Congrats to everyone involved on achieving this brave new world.
it's wild to me that Australia fields a reasonably competitive WBC team. They've already got cricket, Aussie Rules, rugby, a second type of rugby, top-5 international hoops teams... this is their 13th-best sport. plus they produce all the NFL's punters
The sigh of relief I let out seeing Trinity Rodman starting this game and moving around the pitch normally with no restrictions.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
