I never post anymore but tonight football is on and I'm reminded that Bluesky is a sports app so I'm in my happy place.

Another London dispatch: If any of you know any Broadway producers or investors, I am begging you to convince them to transfer "My Neighbor Totoro" to NYC when it closes in London in January. It is one of most enchanting, moving, heartwarming shows I've seen & I want audiences here to experience it🙏

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

People would come into the gas station where I worked and ask me, a 17 year old, for directions and we would all look at a big paper map of the city we had taped to back of a door.

The root of the problem is that people need to be edutained at all times now. Entertainment needs to seep into every aspect of life. People can’t handle boredom or learning by and large anymore without the need to make fun airplane sounds as our attention spans have atrophied. (1/2)

Dear Mother, By the time you receive this letter, I hope our long hours of guarding the nation’s Reflecting Pool will be over. The camp has been struck by dysentery from the algae. I thought arresting people for no reason would prove more fun, but all I want now is to return home. Your loving son.

A dumpy looking guy slouched in a cruddy green armchair. He's got an open can of beer in one hand and the index finger of the other hand is dangling two more beers by the plastic ring holder. Oh and I shoudl mention that the guy is an anthropomorphic pink unicorn. (Humicorn?) Human body, unicorn head, but all pink, with a silvery gray mane, and a yellowish twisted and curved horn. He's got a very grim look on his face, as if observing something he'd much rather not be, with a cigarette clamped in his gritted teeth. He's wearing a yellowed and worn tank top, striped gray boxer shorts and gray plastic slides. There's an open bag of chips of some sort next to the chair. And sitting next to his head on the back of the chair is a gray cat with a similar dark expression as well as a similar unicorn horn. Behind, against a mottled skyish background, a rainbow arcs between two little fluffy clouds and arcing along with the rainbow is white, rough, lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Woke up to a tornado warning at 1:45am (apparently it's been canceled?) and now I'm thinking Old Milwaukee Twitter would have been great during this.

Wisconsin is showing that you can fight creeping authoritarianism by getting organized and consistently voting, year after year, in small races and big ones, to win back democracy by voting in people who actually support democratic process.

there are many horrors contained in the Trump admin's war in Iran. but one of the lesser ones is the way he has turned us into the audience for his reality TV show. will he or won't he? tune in at 7! grotesque voyeurism that implicates us all.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

In a very real way, the President of the United States should be held to the highest standard of conduct in the whole country. Somehow, he’s held to a lower (nonexistent) standard of conduct than literally everyone else. It’s unfathomable.

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur.

Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of Artie, The Strongest Man in the World! (As portrayed by Toby Huss in the TV show The Adventures of Pete and Pete.) He’s a white guy of extremely average build with short hair and heavy-rimmed glasses, wearing a horizontally blue and red-striped long sleeve tee, red sweatpants and black shoes. He’s striking one of his most powerful heroic poses, standing on one foot with the other angled out behind, torso angled forward and back arched, arms held up in a big flex with fists pointing outward, and making a cartoony tough guy face. He’s balanced on a pyramid of 3D lettering colored in bright red, orange, and yellow. Behind him is blue sky and sun rays beaming out from the lettering which reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
