hobgoblin of small mind

My lil man is flying home from college today! And his flights have been early or on time, which seems miraculous

Gotta love that barrel distortion making the frame a trapezoid

A framed print of Fragonard's painting on a sage green wall. There is a music stand below it and a mandolin on a stand beside it

I love the new studio art I just got; a print of Fragonard's The Swing

Obvious attack on the First Amendment, and also--importantly--an attack on the second amendment

One asshole did a stupid thing, and the completely legal firearms owned by other protesters became evidence of domestic terrorism

Tweet from the Prime Minister of Israel: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Antisemitism knows no limits or boundaries. Israel is attacked because it is the Jewish state. Temple Israel in Detroit was attacked today because it is a Jewish house of worship."

Speaking as a Jew living in Diaspora, who needs to exist as a minority at a time of rising antisemitism, I would really appreciate it if the Prime Minister of a country where I do not live would not say that attacks on a sovereign country are analogous to attacks on a synagogue.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Fly on, Blue Sky, fly on....

These are Scarry times, indeed, and I think most of us have felt like a Lowly Worm lately

Forget the cowbell; more Terramin!

Greeblies FTW!

I have lived & dined in many places, but an honest to god biscuit cannot be beat. The rest are beloved, but the buttermilk biscuit is the queen of breakfast breads

I have strong feelings about Uncommitted, but I have much stronger feelings about the First Amendment and even strongerer feelings about police abuse. This is the best response to that insult to US students.

They blinded me with science

You first, buddy

Vaccines save lives.

That’s it. That’s the post.

Husted is a canker on Ohio. Granted, there are many others, but let's take a moment to appreciate this one's utter lack of human decency.

It's going to be a three breakfast day. I'm hobbitmaxxing

I can't actually remember a time when I wasn't mistrustful of organized religion. I think, in my wee brain, there was a conflict between "Free to be you & me," and "Obey the Lord thy God."

"Satan is in deep shit." I love this terrible movie

Kim Cattrall must have been filming Split Second at the same time she was in Star Trek VI. The reason she has Emo Williams hair is that she was a Vulcan. Vulcans love bowl cuts.

My night just got good because @rifftrax.com did "Split Second." I've got coffee, chocolate, and bigger fucking guns. Let's do this

Oh this would be so good

To be clear, I'm not scolding anyone, it's just we have enough to panic over already

That post is incredibly misleading. The CDC is warning travelers to avoid 30 other countries, although it notes that most adults in the US are vaccinated. It's a CT local paper, hence the focus.

I feel like this was just for me

True story

To the confusion of our enemies

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

My grandparents were very different. Maternal was a Jewish mobster in Baltimore; my uncle was a leg breaker. Paternal was in the hobby biz (Life Like) and his brother was an original producer for Grease.

Look, we're trying to get the Jews to go to Israel and stay there until, you know. You think we're gonna help any of them leave now that we're so close?
