Post a picture you took to bring some zen to the skyline

An image of a grass knoll along the Trinity River in Dallas, Tx, during the 2023 full solar eclipse. The sun is in corona. The sky is greyish blue twilight. People appear silhouetted, staring up. Streetlights, like amber orbs, float just above the hill.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

You and anarchist Emma Goldman would get along. Check out this speech from 1908 in St. Louis. Bonus fact -- it radicalized the founder of the Roger Baldwin, who eventually founded and led the ACLU.

Be careful. Mr. Redlegs sees everything.

a photograph of the mascot of the Cincinnati Reds, whose name is "Mr. Redlegs" and looks like an anthropomorphic baseball with an old fashioned baseball cap and mustache, appears with menacingly wide eyes.

Word. Literally texted this to a friend this evening with Bouie in mind, having know idea what was occurring elsewhere on this website.

A text message sent at 4:41pm that says: "Oh lordy. I kicked the Dem nest with a comment on Bluesky and now have the smoothest brains commenting in my mentions. I have no idea how anyone finds this enjoyable."

I was a subscriber to the NYT for almost all my adult life. Unsubscribed a few months ago due to their reporting on Gaza. No regrets.

Read a book! Also, do you know who else was raised in a fundamentalist evangelical community??? Do you think the idea of Christian martyrdom and Calvinist theology did not inform John Brown's willingness to sacrifice his life and others for what he believed to be a righteous, Godly cause?

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Students have been kicking the shit out of their teachers going back to at least the 1700s. The practice was called "turning out the teacher." Here's one example from the mid 20th century in which a teacher gets his nuts crushed. www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/3...

My sweet baby girl dog Xochi left the earth two years ago. A perfect angel. Today I am thinking about her and all the lives needlessly lost in Gaza and everywhere. Against my own cynicism, "may there be peace and love and perfection throughout all creation, oh god."

I know there's a lot going on right now. But can everyone stop for a moment and observe one of the most exquisite Puritan names ever seen: "Thankful Cheeseman"

A screenshot of a PDF from 1917 describing the genealogy of Puritan settlers in New England that reads: Here in 1796 he married Thankful Cheeseman. There seems to have been some romance connected with coming to Braintree, Mass., of her ancestor, George Cheeseman, son of Lord George Cheeseman."

I would be so embarrassed to meet him because I am not cool, but this dude is basically a zeitgeist prism

Mumbling "father pellegrini" to myself in the submersible as the oxygen supply runs out

A meme that with that says "Come the the OCEAN" at the the top featuring six images of aquatic animals below, each tagged with a silly name: "we got spikes," "scrundles," "blobl blobl," "whales," "father pellegrini," and "wanted men"

Can't stop thinking about the moment in Sunshine (2007) when the crew aboard the Icarus II realized that killing their fellowship shipmates could extend the oxygen supply
