Parents of small children: if your 4 year old asks to watch a video of an octopus 🐙 laying eggs, be aware that the octopus reproductive process is quite tragic.
I’m not 100% sure he understood. He was too focused on babies to ask questions about what happened to mama.
But still.
We put the very, very warm temperatures across the Houston region this morning into context. We also look ahead to the potential for storms with a front on Wednesday, with cooler and drier air to follow.

I regard all food as comfort food, but #RecipeOfTheDay would score high by any metric: it’s Meatballs with Orzo! I even find the mindless repetitive action of rolling the little meatballs calming, though you may, of course, choose to buy ready-rolled meatballs. www.nigella.com/recipes/meat...
We’ve been so close at least twice now. Dammit.
They chatted for hours, occasionally checking to make sure the kids didn’t drown.
Turns out the filmmaker was Ridley Scott. He didn’t make it, but it was shopped around for awhile and turned down by a lot of studios because of the “hard to pull off” part.
My dad was delighted when it did come out
My dad loves people, and he can talk for hours with complete strangers. Made him a beloved doctor and teacher.
Anyhow, he started raving about The Hunt for Red October and how it’d be a great movie. Other guy said he was looking at it, but it’d be hard to pull off. Very long and technical.
Oh wait. There was his Tom Clancy thing in the early 80s.
Funny story: we used to go to this tiny beach in the Yucatán, and while the kids snorkeled, he’d hang out at the palapa bar drinking margaritas. He struck up a conversation with another visitor who said he was a filmmaker.
People paid millions of dollars to forecast risk failed to forecast “Trump will create risk”
FWIW, my dad never got into it either.
Maybe because his dad was in WWII, and he was in the Army during Vietnam.
This happened to @grahamdalorian.bsky.social several decades before he became a dad.
Related unrelated, are we counting the Galactic Civil War and/or the Clone Wars in this?
The Podium-bot must be having a field day. (I blocked it ages ago, but I assume it is still as pedantic as the poster in this latest pile up.)
That is how I Instagram.
I’m not a dog account, but Celosa and Fusilli show up quite a bit.
The movie theater down the street from my house played Clue, and my sibs and I went to all three showings the summer it came out so we could catch all three endings.
We later kept the recorded-off-HBO VHS as a sacred family text. Most other tapes had two or three movies on it. Clue got its own.

Come for the delightful Tim Curry, stay for the pedantic discourse.

Fusilli and Celosa, two fully corded. Black pulis, stand on a hardwood floor. Fusilli wears a yellow bow tie and Celosa has a white beard.
Fusilli and Celosa want to remind you that it’s an hour later than you think it is. Stop doom scrolling, get some water, and think about winding down.
If you need tips on sleeping, they’re available for consultation. After their nap
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Wall to wall meetings over!
Well, I do have a meeting with my yoga class, but that's entirely on me.
Tomorrow is _slightly_ less packed than today.
A shot from Rogue One where Cassian Andor wearing a fur lined blue hooded jacket tells Jyn Erso "Rebellions are built on hope."
"Stock prices are built on Hope!"
I think I have something over there, but I haven't gone over there since getting the username.
Yeah, but it seemed more hardcore over the last two or so years. Part of it may be that there's not much more to do to boogeyman and hurt the trans community so they're going after another population.
It's just weird they've really dug in this cycle, which is super convenient given the last 9 days.
Query for Texans: Over the last years or so, I've seen a lot of crap from Abbott about Muslims. Crap like that community near Dallas, Muslim schools in the voucher program, muttering about Sharia law, etc.
Was this to gin up support for war or just assholeness that happened to be now useful?
Rights of publicity issue-spotter of the day:
Kinda makes sense right, MAGA freaks hate Cornyn because he isn’t MAGA enough and “sensible” suburban Republicans hate Paxton because who doesn’t
I think the entire world was assuming that some adult somewhere would step in and everything would be ok.
There are no adults stepping in. The only ones who can (Congress, the Supreme Court, the majority of the states) are compromised.
@grahamdalorian.bsky.social, we are going to this.
