i've developed a new persona for this season: The Football Dad. i'm a football fan – but i'm also a dad. you can expect a lot in the way of, "arrgh i want to watch the game, but my kid wants to watch sesame street! oh noooo haha." you all are in for something truly special

How long has mail-in voting been around? Historians consider the Civil War election of 1864 as the start of large-scale voting by mail in the United States. There's more mail-voting history in my 2024 report on an exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum: www.npr.org/2024/08/24/n...

A new mail-voting exhibition is a reminder that its use dates back to the Civil War
A new exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum is a reminder that voting by mail with absentee ballots in the U.S. goes back more than 160 years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Actors love to play characters being bad at acting, to make it look like acting is hard. Whatever. I'll be impressed by your acting skill when you show me you're capable of playing an actor acting better than you can actually act. That's good acting.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: an alien is sitting behind the wheel of a sedan with the window rolled down. He looks over at another car and says, “is this guy for real?” Panel 2: a second alien is stopped at the light next to the first alien. He is sitting behind the wheel of an enormous pickup truck with hover wheels. The truck is absolutely decked out in crazy hyper-macho patriotic stickers and flags, like an alien punisher skull, a flag sticker that reads “We the Bleeple”, and a bumper sticker that reads, “offended? GLOOP.”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: young man in a hoodie looking morose and sitting on a swing set. He says “she’s breaking up with me…” Panel 2: next to him is a glyptodon, an early ancestor of armadillos. With his head in his hands, the young man says “what do I do glyptodon?” Panel 3: the glyptodon says “I’m like an early ancestor of armadillos. The young man angrily replies, “are you even listening man?”

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

quel ennui!
A fake BBC News article reading: "France's language watchdog has told government officials to use French fetish terms instead of Japanese ones. The Académie Française today announced that French kinksters must use the term 'maîtrise de la pisse' instead of the more widely-used Japanese loan word 'omorashi'. France's culture ministry told the AFP news agency that linguistic borrowings were 'a barrier to understanding'. But bladder control fetishists have criticized the ban, with one calling it 'completely pointless'. France regularly issues warnings of the 'debasement' of its language through imported foreign words. Other official translations include 'visage de la petite mort' for 'ahegao'."

feels like it might be worth reminding trans folks that you don’t need to hang out online all day & bear witness to fallout over expectedly evil superme court rulings. you can step out while folks who love saying “it’s all over & there’s no hope” do their thing. you don’t have to stare into the sun.
