The Lunatic in Chief wants to cosplay as a wartime president so badly he's goading people who already hate this country into attempting something far worse than 9/11.

Pulling a muscle while stretching isn't fair.

This overgrown bro is too dumb to be a fascist.

It's going to dip below freezing tonight after it rained today, so I'm guessing they're trying to reduce black ice tomorrow morning.

As usual, being one word away from Queen Bee in the NYTimes daily puzzle Spelling Bee is driving me mad.

An extended period of unemployment when living alone is like reexperiencing the pandemic. Long stretches of time without meaningful human contact, never feeling unburdened enough to enjoy going out, and having no idea when or if it will end.

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

There must be another few oil-producing nations we haven't invaded yet.

That joke would have hit harder if more than 25% of the studio audience had heard of Bluesky.

Someday I'll learn how to nap without needing another nap to recover from it.

I ordered a maple creemee (four Es) to see if it helps with allergy symptoms on a hot sunny day. I suspect it will have no effect, but I'll conduct further testing this month to be sure.

Judging by how miserable I feel outdoors today l guess allergy season has begun for me. I don't remember if March 10th is earlier than usual.

We shouldn't expect Iran to move on just because Trump's war has ended.

Is "un-American" a term we should retire now? And maybe the myth about American exceptionalism while we're at it? We could learn much from other countries.

I realized that even if gods were real I didn't feel inclined to worship any of them. I don't need the fear of repercussions or eternal damnation to be a good person.

This is one of those rare occasions when even the most checked-out among us will be able to name the single person responsible for our daily hardships.

An unintentionally backhanded headline about Anheuser-Busch on CNN's website. I don't really consider their products beer either.

Just topped off my car's tank to give me the illusion of agency before the unnecessary crisis to come.

Why does every government official sound like the schoolkid who always bragged about fighting but had never actually been in a fight?
