God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

The problem with people is, there's a god shaped hole in our heads where we want Something Important to live, and we insist on filling it with *something*, which might be god or king or astrology or jumped-up autocorrect.

Sorry for all the Dolly posting, but I really really loved her. If you, like me, grew up knowing about her as a punchline, just know she had you right where she wanted you all along.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

my hot take is that this is the actual america 250. just a ton of different people coming together, showing people what makes America weird and fun. people being welcoming. and yeah there’s some bullshit too, which is also very true to America! but the good and community far outweighs it rn.

A meme screenshot comparing two styles of event flyers. At the top, white text on a black background says: “Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me 🤙”. Below are two side-by-side example flyers. On the left is a brightly colored, cluttered, AI-generated-looking flyer with fireworks and confetti, with large text reading: “ALL CHATGPT FLYERS LOOK THE SAME! Especially with this font!” On the right is a dark blue and orange parody flyer packed with chaotic text and exaggerated design elements, headlined: “YOUR FLYER LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE.” The meme criticizes generic AI-made promotional designs and overly cluttered flyers.

For 10 season, I watched Jaylen Brown become not just an incredible player, but an incredible person. What he’s meant to the Boston has gone far beyond the court & he truly shifted the energy. Thank you for everything, JB, you’ll forever be one of my favorite Celtics ☘️

Dogs With Unusual Faces and their names
A series of drawings of nine dogs, named as follows
The Alamogordo Kid
No.
Mr Sad
Professor Criminal
Journalism The Dog
Yes.
Monster Truck
Skippy (this dog's face violates obscenity laws and cannot be shown)

Most of them are just kind of weird looking in a way that wouldn't really translate into text. Yes has a human face. Skippy's face is pixelated. Monstertruck has a normal dog's head on a human body.

One time I wrote alt text for a comic where I said that the central thrust of the work was things looking odd, it was about poorly drawn animals and someone replied to it by saying that they would try to translate it into words and then just proceeded to misspell all the animals names, and I thought the entire thing was kind of grating to read, so keep that to yourself.

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair
