Put a scale in a bodega and it becomes a favorite perch. Put a scale in a vet's office and they'll fight you to stay off it.

It looks like the stuffing in my great grandma's dining room chairs.

They are officially called the MacArthur Foundation Fellows grants. But going back to the 1980s, people called them the "genius grants" because recipients were considered exceptional in their various fields.

That link is not a shoe retailer.

I have never shopped Amazon or Whole Foods either. I was very unhappy when I found out shoe retailer Zappos was bought by them. (It's difficult finding my size in most stores.)

Which item is the key? The one with the circle ring (bottom left) or the thing next to the silver chain (above the large coin)?

The Tech Oligarchs built something without the infrastructure to run it, to a society that doesn't want it, and people who won't use it.

Maybe this inmate (aptly named Christa) is a miracle, an intervention by God against the death penalty. They like pretending God's work in all other sorts of things...

My son's movie was Batteries Not Included. He loved the little robotic creatures that came to save the cafe and tenement building owned by Jessica Tandy's character.

Sen. Kennedy relishes his Vanna White moment.

Sen. Schmitt and Sen. Kennedy in front of the Judiciary Committee during questioning of Jack Smith. The poster incorrectly alleges Smith's whereabouts on February 3, 2024.

"Brace for losing everything" carries a much harsher meaning for those Iowa farmers than it does for the politicians.

This took me back! When my son was learning to walk, our black lab/German shepherd did the same thing. Dogs read people better than people read people.

Feels like Life Surge follows the business model of the Church of Scientology.

Nepo Ellison already had Skydance, then Paramount/Skydance. He could make as many movies/series as he wanted. Why the need to buy Warners plus all the streaming channels? Anti-trust laws be damned I guess.

OB/GYNs should offer nitrous oxide at the least. Dentists use it all the time. So does my urologist when he performs a cystoscopy.

Duckworth is my Senator. I am so proud of her!

Constance @constancereid.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

CBS News was already handed to a biased leader. They cannot be trusted for editorial independence. And now Ellison can sell part of this to Saudis/UAE/Qatar? The merger with Warners should not go through.

Watched her in Trespasses last night (local PBS). I have never seen someone play a drunk as convincingly as Anderson.

Almost 30% of Wisconsin exports go to Canada (its largest trade partner), and these idiots are supporting the guy who is causing Canada to cease buying from the U.S.

Maybe Michelle Kaufman would be interested in this? bsky.app/profile/prop...

He's banning them "from the White House". He started the sentence, meandered way out to left field, and returned about six lines of text later. (Natalie is not a good editor.)

I love eggs for dinner: Fold them over with some spinach and cheese, it's an omelette. Spread them out in a skillet with some sauteed mushrooms (or other veg), it's a frittata.
