In addition to all the grandmas and normies at No Kings I was very happy to see a lot of Columbus' venerable benign weirdos. Bagpipes guy. One of those dudes with hundreds of action figures glued to his 1994 Saturn SL3. Those kinds of folks.

Weirdos are an important part of the municipal fabric.

Pardon my subpar photography, but: I think someone was inspired by last night.

A protest sign at No Kings in Westchester, Calif., with a picture of Shohei Ohtani, reading “OK, MAYBE JUST ONE KING!”

I’m terribly sorry to hear this. It’s so hard losing a pet. Like you’ve lost a limb.

Someone had stolen our compost, twice. It makes no sense. I assumed it’s just local hoodlums playing a joke but that thing is so gross.

October 2, 1969 and October 2, 1995 were symbolic days for major league baseball in Seattle. A win, a loss, an end, a beginning, but only one answer for the question of whether Seattle was a major lea...

It’s very easy to remember Alt, just toggle in bluesky app:

settings > accessibility > require alt text before posting

& at least for iPhone, you can simply copy-paste any text from pictures in the photos app. Takes an extra 5 seconds to make someone’s day & get you a new follower, I promise
