Lexington, Kentucky. I like horses and dogs. Thus the name. Follow me for pet photography and asinine anecdotes.

We love an origin story.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

I love marathon day in NYC because there is something incredible about supporting friends running it, seeing other people support their friends and family run it, and also seeing thousands of people loudly supporting total strangers run it too.

Today is Halloween and in honor of that I inadvertently made the best Blair Witch sequel yet by accidentally recording inside my pocket while walking my dogs in the woods. 🧙‍♀️

This is wise.

-The quiet, rural AirBnB you booked is starting to feel a little too quiet as the sun goes down, and then it starts. A persistent, unidentifiable noise coming from the basement, just loud enough to be distracting. Gonna go down and investigate?

-Oh great. You’ve somehow ended up as the human servant for the local vampire and you’re starting to think that maybe it’s not going to end well for you. How are you getting out of this one?

-You’re a ghost, minding your own business in the home where you died. What’s one thing the new residents do that turns you from peaceful soul into vengeful spirit who makes their lives a waking nightmare?

Discussion questions to liven up your halloween small gathering of friends:

-Cremation, composting, floated out to sea on a raft and then shot with a burning arrow, or traditional six feet of dirt?

You’re at a haunted house but the theme is just “AI bros” #halloween #chatgpt

Do you get to claim both years if it was on a New Year’s Eve?

Leslie @dogandpony.bsky.social · 8d

Big if true.

Yeah, this is what I wrestle with -- a college freshman today was only nine when Trump first ran for president. They've grown up with him as a baseline, not an aberration.

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 11d

It's odd for me to realize that my first-year undergraduates are at an age where they don't really remember that there was a form of US politics prior to Donald Trump. For them, Trump is not an aberration from the normal course of political discourse, but just how US politics is done.

I get so close to finally deleting social media but then I come across weird shit like this that brings me so much enjoyment and like, how else am I going to find that? www.instagram.com/youhitmetal1...

If we have a next president, they should convert it into a welcome center for immigrants.

“I’ve always tossed around the pigskin with my buddies in the street.”

Said earnestly by one of the young gentlemen currently tossing around a football in the street outside my house. Real NPC energy with that line, I gotta say.

Disappointing to see this guy get milkshake ducked but also, bro, did you think this stuff wouldn’t come up and cause problems for your campaign? C’mon, guys.

Seriously. Imagine having enough space for your actual human body in your airplane seat. Unreal.

I got upgraded to first class today which was pretty neat. The guy next to me had his water bottle (thermos, maybe?) connected to a portable charger. The drink vessel had a three digit digital display that I couldn’t make out. What’s that about?

our "smart" coffee machine at work is broken today. I made a joke about it being related to the AWS outage but then we looked in the back and it's plugged into ethernet

To be fair, I am a bit drunk.
