I think this Trader Joe’s one is just one big block, but it’s a hilariously bad example because it’s meant to be fancy French butter, not everyday butter. Trader Joe’s sells that too, in regular stick sizes (4 for $3 so less than $1/stick!). He’s such an out of touch weirdo.

Me: It’s been a hard day, I’ll just settle down and watch a comforting episode of feel-good TV. Ted Lasso writers: the fuck you will! 😭

I learned about him after he ran his mouth during/after his airport detention, but still didn’t really know who he was or why anyone would care about his opinions.

if subtitles are ok…Have you watched Call My Agent on Netflix? It’s French and they just had a movie come out last week (5+ years after the show ended).

Cc @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social team - he’s writing your ads for you! Guessing most Kansans don’t want to pay for an unnecessary war in Iran.

"These are the things we have to say to win Texas(insert red state here)". You sure? If your consultants knew the secret sauce on how to win red states, we'd have been out of this mess years ago. Try a different playbook. Run the damn ball on protecting equal rights for all & make them stop you.

22 years! Then and now. Happy anniversary @jakelupardus.bsky.social I love you!
A wedding photo. I’m in a white satin dress with a veil and tiara. He’s in a tux. He is behind me with his arms around my waist. My hand is reaching up towards his face and we appear to be laughing. A photo form this year. I’m In a blue dress. He’s In a black suit. I’m reaching up and touching his face again because this was the most paralleled photo I could find.

Happy to see this from someone not from Kansas City since It mostly felt like that episode was made just for us!

I have resorted to Trader Joe’s frozen rice - microwaves in 3 minutes and turns out perfect every time. Worth it to me even though I am sure the cost/serving difference would be alarming if I bothered doing the math.

There is a French TV show called “A Very Secret Service” about their equivalent to the CIA portrayed as bumbling doofuses and it’s hilarious. (Spoiler) I actually think a plot line is them causing the Cuban missile crisis!

I admit that I have a bit of PTSD from the Allred campaign that made me read this and worry about how he may try to start throwing trans kids under the bus now since that is apparently the playbook for courting Republican votes. Trying to withhold judgment & hope for better this time!

On my last zoo visit (in Lapland, Finland) I learned that the animal we call moose is called elk in Europe, and they don’t have a name for what we call elk because they are only in North America (whereas moose are spread throughout the arctic-ish regions of the world).

Whenever people said “this is the most important election of our lives” (in 2020/2024) I would point out no it was 2016 because we lost the Supreme Court. Unfortunately many of us won’t live long enough to undo this damage, unless Dems finally grow a spine and expand it.

Today I discovered what a roseate spoonbill is! Hanging out with a snowy egret. The walking path behind our house is a trove of interesting wildlife!
A roseate spoonbill (a medium sized bird with pink-tinged feathers and a large spoon-shaped beak) stands in a creek amongst some greenery. A snowy egret (slightly smaller with white feathers and a black beak, not pictured are its bright yellow feet) is immediately to the viewer’s left of the spoonbill.

I think mine are cuter together so here are two of both of them!
A black and white mixed breed dog and a black and white Boston terrier snuggle butt to butt while sleeping sweetly on a brown recliner. They have very similar markings despite having no breed in common. Hence why we had to rescue the mutt - they matched. And then they decided they would love each other and snuggle together frequently which is so adorable it almost hurts. The same two dogs this time on separate multi-colored paisley recliners. They are still just as cute and are looking at the camera.

Oh I thought those were wings but now I see they have fingers (possibly making a peace sign?) also one of those things (maybe supposed to be soldiers?) resembled Chewbacca to me at first glance.

I worked for a large strip company (50+ locations) for 8 years and don’t recall ever hearing of OSHA visiting, though it would’ve been interesting to see what they found. Local inspectors (and other authorities) shut down clubs for various reasons though.

Last week when a trending post asked which song they’d play to torture you to confess to something, that song was my answer! My brain chooses to self-torture with it at least a few times a week. An ear worm for sure.

I just learned (via a Facebook post where the OP was getting destroyed for calling it a “nuisance animal”) that they have native otters 🦦 living in Lake Conroe. Only 50 miles from me…May need to relocate. The nutria living in our retention pond aren’t nearly as cute.

Ok agree the actual sentiment from Slotkin is crap but at least she recognizes that we need to refer to Kansas City like it’s the equivalent of a state. I never tell people I’m from Kansas (or Missouri), always just KC.
