Here's a good one. My boyfriend ran into Jason Varitek at Daisy Buchanan's the very night he put his mitt in A-rod's face in 2004. My bf asked to shake the hand that slapped that little weasel and JV politely declined because he thought that would be weird to do in the men's room. Fair!

picture from the ALCS game in 2004 where Jason Varitek got all up in A-rod's face. remember when sox yankees was this fiery even for regular season games? this happened in July!

I saw Mike Wankum reporting the weather at Spooky World one October in the late 90s. I wanted to meet a celebrity so I forced my BFF to pretend she wanted to be a meteorologist so we could say hi. He was very nice.

incredible stat from @wired.com here. www.wired.com/story/govern...

in 2025 only 22.5% of federal workers believed they could report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation, down from 71.9% in 2024.

Did you know all 6 representatives expelled from the House were men? There are still so many glass ceilings left to break. Somewhere is a girl with dreams of misappropriating funds, sexually assaulting a staffer, or fighting for the confederacy. But if she can't see it, she can't be it!

Alt text of all the congressmen expelled - 3 for fighting for the confederacy, 2 for financial crimes, primarily. Several possible to be added to the list today for sex crimes.

For years I asked my contemporaries if they remembered the show where the department store mannequin named Jeff comes to life at night. In the early 00s I began searching intermittently but the internet was less.... comprehensive then. Finally ~2012 I found evidence & was so relieved!

As a lifelong New Englander I am inspired by @bakerdphd.bsky.social 's husband and have decided to use my knowledge to create a Bingo Card of the references I anticipate - nay, welcome. Pembroke College is my dark horse but maybe if they talk to some older ladies...

That's not true. But Te Fiti didn't slumber because Maui stole her heart, but she just had an interview with Chotiner scheduled for 9AM PST the next day.

Spencer sometimes gets upset if his humans aren’t both in the same room and barks until a reunion is forced. Which is adorable but also not since we both work out of separate home offices. Anyways here he is looking slightly guilty for decapitating his frog.

in the northeast we have a delicacy called the fluffernutter and I so loathe peanut butter that my mom would just give me straight Wonder Bread with marshmallow fluff in between. i think that explains a lot about who I am, but more importantly that shit was delicious why wreck it with PB?

I think it's funny that our mayor pretends City Hall isn't ugly as a pile of rocks. Honestly? GREAT BIT. Look at it! Or don't; it might ruin your eyes like a solar eclipse. Or just your day, by being that ugly. Anyways, congrats to Mayor Wu on Term 2!

I mean there was a LOT in the Vanity Fair article but (superficially) this photo of Karoline Leavitt stood out... Maybe don't do lip injections within 24h of a super high def Vanity Fair photo shoot? Seems like common sense? WE CAN LITERALLY SEE NEEDLE MARKS. yikes.
