I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was very self-aware of the owner.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I just gave Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by @tyseidule.bsky.social a rare 5 star review. It was excellent.

I said it in 2016 and I'll say it again now (with apologies to Yeats) What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Washington to be born. #Inauguration

Love to see these yard signs. Arizona knows what’s up. 📸bikebustempe
A yard sign that says we ask everyone outside of the car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous. That’s the entirety of our approach the road safety.

As we are wrapping 2024, it’s good to remember car crashes are still one of the leading causes of death of young people and climate change can’t be addressed without modifying our behaviors. Nevertheless seeing all the amazing people around on here and IRL gives me hope. Happy New Year! 🎈🎆

If you’ve got grievances with public figures, you don’t post them on the internet. You compile them in an epic poem that imagines the intricate ways they’ll suffer in the afterlife and goes onto become one of the most enduring works of Western literature.

"I can see so much better from up here" Ban all personal ownership of non-work oriented vehicles. Modern Light Duty Trucks are more dangerous, harmful, and wasteful than ever before. They are a blight on our roads and our neighborhoods. The world is laughing at you. 🚫Light Duty Trucks🚫

The last time I watched the news on TV was November 7th. I have been watching my favorite movies and reruns instead. I almost feel human again.
