My college friends would agree with this. When I arrived at Northwest Missouri State University they quickly gave me the nickname “Connecticut” partly based on how I spoke. This quiz confirms what I already knew. But it was fun to take. mydialect.us/quiz-standar...

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Dolly Parton passed away, August 25, 2026. She was an inspiration! She'll be missed.

It does not feel like a coincidence that, much like Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, also a Christian, sent notes with her books saying how proud she was of kids. She tried to reaffirm the idea that children were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Christ and therefore are worthy.

A reminder that we don't lack national health in this country because it would cost too much. It would actually save tons of money. We lack it because it would not enrich businesses and their executives like the current system does. bsky.app/profile/jent...

I currently pay about $35k for health insurance (split between employer and employee pay) for our family of 4. I’d GLADLY pay more in taxes for single payer insurance - I’ll save money and so will you. Plus more people will get care, saving lives

Major pet peeves at the beach 1. People who eat peanuts in the shells and leave the shells. Eww gross. 2. People who come to the beach and play loud music. I came to the beach to listen to the waves, not your music. 3. People who litter, especially water bottle caps.

Noah’s night 👊🏼 After the bases were loaded with zero outs in the 4th, he retired the last 14 he faced, including striking out the last five to tie career highs with 8.0 IP & 9 Ks. He’s allowed just one run in last three outings across 23.0 innings. Outstanding.

Exactly. People do not hear megachurch and think "big" alone, but Christofascist, disgustingly wealthy, Trump-worshiping, abusive, prosperity, conversion therapy, pastor as cult leader with no real accountability, etc. That's factually wrong, but a reality to navigate carefully.

I would never call him a mega-church pastor. He’s nowhere close theologically to evangelical mega-churches. Sure, his church is large, but it’s still a mainline church.

Looking at reactions to the Lane Thomas trade. Some say the @royals.com did great in their return, others say “meh” I’m not sure where I am on the deal. Sure, we got two pitchers (and we need the depth) but one of them is in A ball. Not sure how soon that can help us.

Well written and highly persuasive. Worth reading and sharing. "This is the principle upon which our country was formed. Shared public resources, mutual obligation, democratic self-government and shared labor were woven into American settlements from the beginning."

Re-Skeeting this… FDR (a Democrat) and Eisenhower (a Republican) each enacted widespread social programs that would be considered “leftist” or “socialist” today. Both were mainstream moderates

My hot take: The platform of today’s Democratic Socialist is the same as the mainstream Republican Party of the 1940’s and 1950’s The bar for what is considered “moderate” has moved so far to the right, that anything that’s good for society as a whole is considered leftist/socialism

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

A post from @matzollerseitz.bsky.social reads:

“So what I'm getting from this is, incrementalism is bullshit and we should just do the stuff that we say would be good for society”

And the post is quoting a post from @owillis.bsky.social that reads:

“They call him WIN-dani

Mamdani delivers promised rent freeze on 1 million rent-stabilized apartments https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/25/mamdani-delivers-promised-rent-freeze-00977449”

An image from the precipice of history. Four pitches later, Salvador Perez hit his 137th career home run at Kauffman Stadium to set the record for the most homers by a player at this ballpark in its 54-year history. 👑🫡
