KITTEN ADOPTION KLAXON Gravy needs a home in the Baltimore/DC area ASAP, preferably one with other young cats. After the sudden death of her only sister, she really craves playtime with other kittens. Gravy is fully vaccinated and spayed, cuddly and playful, and learns what is ok and not ok fast.

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin

A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

The controversersy surrounding Ween is why the fuck did the play twice as long as Sonic Youth and after Sonic Youth when they were opening for a Flaming Lips/Sonic Youth coheadlining bill at the NY State Fair in 2006? And why was their music so obnoxiously boring that still I'm angry 20 years after?

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

A friendly reminder that, while I’m sure posting stuff like this makes people feel like a tOTAl bADasS, the DC government has no power here BY DESIGN. It’s up to the rest of the country to pass laws that give us actual autonomy

Something dingdong saying the DC government should do something about federal troops

Yesterday, I went to a meet up of cavalier king Charles spaniels at a local bar. I didn't have a dog, buy a drink, know anyone, or successfully talk to anyone. More importantly, I sang "Happy Birthday" to a dog named Pretzel and I got to pet a bunch of happy, wiggly goofballs.

Student march against sexual violence, merging with another group rallying for the same cause on the National Mall. Things have been (relatively) quiet in DC protest-wise as of late, probably owing to widespread fencing and park closures. Not tonight, though.

Shoutout to this woman who had her Chippendale slant-front desk appraised by Leigh Keno on Antiques Roadshow in 1996 while wearing a "I Tried Catnip Once, But I Didn't Inhale" shirt. Perfect political satire for cat ladies in 1996.

I am eternally fascinated by the way that Roger Daltrey pronounces "Armenia" in "Armenia City In The Sky". As a huge Who fan of 25+ years who also tends to add syllables to words thanks to my idiosyncratic accent, its so neat. "Ar-meh-nee-ah" is an odd choice. I respect it.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I feel so proud every time I pronounce is without a flub within the context of using it meaningfully. What an awesomely meaningful word that is so hard to land cleanly.

What percentage of helicopter flights have been morally defensible? Helicopters are mostly used by cops, army guys, and rich assholes. Maybe 1% are for like medical evacuation or firefighting, which are somewhere between understandable and good. The Oil extraction industry also loves helicopters.

What percentage of your conversations are with some weird guy who approaches you ("guy" includes all genders) that suddenly takes a turn that gets more involved? For me its like 75%. Last night, I ended up researching Thai pop music and helping a guy set up a Discogs account.

If you are as mad as I am about Cornell and institutional protection of people who commit rape, be angry and fight against our own smaller institutions that do the same in insidious ways. Also know that we are regularly robbed of brilliant cultural creations by women because of these same men.

Thank you for this warning. I just sent a text to my dad that was a joke based on the fact that hes likely never heard of Cock Sparrer and would be confused. He was confused by Cock Sparrer, but just because he doesnt know Oi.

Hey, guess what? "Killing people with plausible war or legal justification" is murder. People who have done this or defend this are scum who deserve to never again feel joy in their life. I scream this at them almost every day.

The first 30 seconds of "Cannonball" by The Breeders is so cunningly bizarre. I dont have the music theory knowledge/vernacular to describe it, but theres stuff going on there.

I love that my 4-year-old nephew is aware of many Randy Newman songs, but have you ever watched Finding Nemo with yr almost 2-yr-old nephew 2-3 days after his father died? I have and that was heavy. Not in the fun metal way. Pixar contains multitudes.

One of the best tricks I've learned in life is to wear a signature hat. It covers up yr diminished hairline, makes dressing easy, and its the thing that makes you identifiable to folks you see occasionally. A NY Yankees hat wont work, but how often do you see a Syracuse Mets hat?

Based on my experience, hurting the thumb of yr dominant hand is one of the most annoying minor injuries. If I went to a doctor, they'd tell me to ice it and wish me good luck. Ive been icing it for a month and I had to type this whole thing with my left hand.

I love a lot about Public Emeny, but I'm confident that they had dance practices is the thing I might love most. Like The Bomb Squad didn't have to be there, but the S1Ws were required.

If hes demolishing war mongers and fascists and whatever, why do i see fucking armed soldiers in camo costumes every time I go outside? I yell at them because they are well-paid scum and I'm a large white guy who can get away with it. I want their lives to be as unpleasant as possible.

One of my most strongly held beliefs is that punk rock is dance music and is more related to techno, house, and go-go than like The Rolling Stones or whoever.

A really neat thing about the song "Eisbaer" by Grauzone is how "Eisbaer" translates literally as "Ice Bear" and that just the word for polar bear in German. Also the song is about polar bears don't need to cry and how it'd be great to be a polar bear. I'm unsure of the zoological reality of this.

Cupid Shuffle is so persistent for such an OK song with a dance that no one has ever seemed to enjoy doing. It just seems like "OK, I'm at a wedding. I bought a dress and I hope this lasts 3, maybe 5, years. I'll do the Cupid Shuffle, limply."

Please remember that RAY GUNN by Brad Bird is a Skydance Animation project in large part because Brad still wanted to work with serial sexual harasser of women John Lasseter after he was forced to leave Pixar after the serial sexual harassment. John was then hired at Skydance by David Ellison. So.

"Making biscuits" is such a weirdly misapplied and outdated term to refer to cats kneading with their paws. Have you ever made biscuits? You cut the butter into the dry ingredients, which I guess is what this refers to, but I've only ever done this with a food processor...
