They get big! And we get sizable stick bugs too, I was here 40 years before I saw one and it was damn near as long as my forearm.

I have an amazing video somewhere of hundreds of nymphs coming out of an egg sack my wife found and stuffed inside an animal skull.

I think Sliwa could be Lt. Mayor, but Mamdani (and every other mayor from here on out) should be required to wear a beret.

It would do well to call it “curiosity about the world.” 60% of the population can’t hit a sixth grade reading level.

One of the things that the greater left needs to do ASAP is start making a virtue out of cosmopolitanism and epicureanism. Wanting to die without having experienced as much as possible of the world should be seen as a serious character flaw.

Of course John Bolton just surrenders to authorities. Not one of these political prosecutions is going to like, show up streaming from some undisclosed location to tell the admin to get bent. Where is the spirit?!

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

Honestly, I don’t need you to mask everywhere. I just would appreciate it in grocery stores, medical facilities, airports, and airplanes. That would make my life so much safer. Just orders of magnitude safer.

Julia Doubleday @juliadoubleday.bsky.social · 3d

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason

Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

To expound on a term from the Trillbillys, JD Vance is one of the world’s premier exponents of “bitchassedness”. Really just a maniacal loser energy. The worst kind of villain.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

My favorite way to make myself depressed is Soviet time capsule messages

Soviet time capsules: messages from the past with lessons to teach us in 2017
"We're a little jealous of all you who are celebrating the centenary of our Soviet motherland"
Arkhangelsk
"You are talking with representatives of other galaxies about scientific and cultural collaborations"
Novosibirsk
"You have eliminated harmful bacteria and viruses, ageing and sickness"
Tiraspol
"We address you, those who don't know what war is"

“Please come my darlings, take my gift!” She replied “no thank you”And he yelled “fuck you then!” and tossed an open ice cream on the ground and drove away, and all the ambient sounds, car noises, dogs barking all slowly emerged back into being. It was a very striking experience.

…and he had evil broken yellow teeth and a sinister grin and yelled to us “come to me! Come over here! Come to me!” My gf was shaking like a leaf and said “that’s a fairy trap, don’t go near that man” when we didn’t respond, he offered free ice cream, no one else on the usually busy street…
