On my morning walk, I saw a mom with a young child cross the street. The kid, maybe 5 years old, was wearing a jacket, a hat, and gloves. It is 70 degrees here. The following scenarios played in my mind as possible explanation. (1/3)

Oscar, the giant in his litter of twelve, scared of everything. Thinks people-pleasing is overrated. Happy International Dog Day. #uglydogs #InternationalDogDay

This essay sums up the mental and social costs of being the companion to a difficult dog. Oscar, 120lbs, is working himself into a lather as I write this because he knows there will be thunderstorms in a few hours. rescuedbytraining.com/2026/07/06/h... #uglydogs

Happy National Puppy Day. Here's Oscar (fka 'Rudolph') along with 9 of his 11 littermates. Oscar is the one with his posterior to the camera, the largest of the lot, the one who clearly can't be bothered with the rules of the game. He's now 120 lbs.
A litter of 10 black and white puppies, 8 of which are wearing Elizabethan collars after being spayed and neutered, sitting on pee pads. The largest puppy sits in front facing away from the camera, while the rest of the group is mostly engaging with the camera.The same renegade dog, now at 120 lbs.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Deutschland hat gewählt, und die AfD gilt als die große Siegerin. Wie lässt sich ihr Ergebnis einordnen, und welche geografischen Merkmale prägen ihre Unterstützung? @hudde.bsky.social und ich haben das AfD-Zweitstimmenergebnis in den 299 Bundestagswahlkreisen ausgewertet. Ein Thread. 🧵👇

Stanislav Aseyev, who survived nearly three years in the torture prison Izolatysiia in Donetsk, traveled last week to Sednaya, Asad's torture prison in Syria. It's enormously important that this story be told, and enormously meaningful that it's @stanislavaseyev.bsky.social who is telling it.
