Question: what if there’s a cute kitty involved?

Brain on drugs. Hell, it even got a melodramatic 90s sequel.

Believe it or not, it’s actually Daniel Day-Lewis.

Donald Trump has fallen asleep 30 times during public events. So far. I don’t know what it means, but that feels worth mentioning.

They have camps, which makes them just slightly more like the SS.

David Price (NC) had a Yale divinity degree.

I mean, it’s kind of refreshing to see such overt class solidarity.

…which is one reason I would never spend a penny on prediction markets like Kalshi, which are built for insiders to game and take money from compulsive gamblers. But the dangers of algorithmically-prompted gambling are as impossible to ignore as they are difficult to regulate. We need federal law.

This thread terrifies me. I’m a member of the Connecticut Lottery’s board of directors, which means I am a regulator for gambling systems. These digital betting platforms terrify me, including the ones I help oversee. My most basic concern is maintaining fairness…

Also, when is Sorkin going to give us the drama series about making a South Park analogue going into its 23rd season with an executive producer worried about losing his creative edge, an up-and-coming writer looking to breathe new life into a beloved classic series, and a competent ditz?

Still can’t get over Tammy Duckworth’s new Durbin-esque schtick. “Trump’s unpopular, incompetent, and committing countless crimes, so we better find a way to work with him and forget about impeachment.”

It was a *big* number. And while that boss was engaging a bit in what I call “helpful dickishness,” I took the intended lesson to heart as soon as I heard about it. In retrospect, I’m very glad that (a) I learned this early in high school, and (b) this happened to someone else.

Around 28 years ago, on the first day of his internship, my sister’s then-boyfriend was asked to introduce himself to his coworkers and say a little about himself. After the meeting, his new boss asked him to stay back and showed him a tally sheet. Each mark represented a time he had said “like.”

Off-topic, but the Standard’s mobile site is possibly the worst designed page I’ve seen since Geocities.

I don’t know if I’ve ever in my 43 years seen it abbreviated as “P&J.”

My dad’s a fire scientist, and his favorite thing as an expert witness is writing quizzes for his clients to pose to opposing experts about basic things like “what is a joule?” and “what are the byproducts of the combustion of methane gas?” He considers it a mitzvah to help weed out the hacks.

This trick has failed me exactly once, and that was at the 2016 Democratic Convention, but I also didn’t really commit to the bit, if I’m being honest.

If only they had invited John Yoo instead.

Apropos of nothing, his wife is currently the Republican nominee for Congress in FL-16.

I mean, that’s basically how Marx and Engels defined it, so… 🤷🏻‍♂️ “[The bourgeoisie] has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers….Thus the proletariat is recruited from all classes of the population.”

Either he knows this is false and is lying about 9/11 to boost his own image, or he actually believes this happened. I leave it to you to decide which is worse in a sitting president.

It always seemed to me that centrism was an entirely amoral calculus, more a strategy than an ideology. Gives me the ick.

To give a concrete (eh…bituminous and packed earth) example, the Case Mountain trail system includes a connection to the East Coast Greenway, which runs into downtown Manchester and connects with paths and bike lanes that cover almost the entire town (with one notable gap that I’m trying to close).

Jerald Lentini @jerald.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Cool! Tell them to hit me up if they need anything—I’m right around the corner from the other Case Mountain parking area.

Would Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth considered admissible for purposes of identity validation? I think that could get around the identification issue.

Oh damn, he thought he found the Holy Grail but drank from the wrong cup.

Google is saying they use a corrupted data source, it’s making their product worse, and they won’t do anything about it.

An incriminating scrimshaw, perhaps

Perhaps, though I suspect the Gulf Cooperation Council member states are looking at a longer timeline and still mostly smiling.

“The most credible person in the world” has been convicted of fraud, found liable for defaming his rape victim, is demonstrably innumerate, and lies about everything all the time. But go on, Howie. You were saying?

Out of curiosity, did you watch a lot of Good Eats in your youth?

I’ve got a fake front tooth because of a childhood bike accident. My nephew is in a cast from a serious accident last month. Cars weren’t involved in either of our crashes. Helmets were, and limited the damage significantly.

010

Jerald Lentini @jerald.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Bullshit. This was my nephew’s helmet after his bike crash. He broke his arm and suffered a concussion. The only factors were speed, asphalt, overconfidence, and bad luck. The only MV involved was the ambulance. He’s alive because of this helmet. Helmets work. They’re good. Use them, ffs.

A cracked helmet, split nearly in two down the middle

I’m on season seven of Letterkenny. That has to count for something.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.
