Starting the new season of #TheDiplomat and once again reminded we're supposed to believe that there's a world where people believe Keri Russell has bad hair.

Aussie listeners of @whoweekly.bsky.social reviewed it for the pod last week and all agreed Tyra did create hot ice cream. It's just warm melted ice cream that tastes gross because is warm melted ice cream.

Finished #rhoslc and did I just watch a thirty minute fight about whether Angie K. borrowed money then paid it back?

Dude's a standard issue lefty vet, idk it's good that there's a senate candidate specifically made in a lab for me, but it's probably the best time ever for one to run.

he also has a very recognizably nco speaking cadence and logic that many vet candidates tone down that could work in me 2 better

My take is whoever is running Janet Mills fundraising efforts needs to stop sending out so many spam texts then changing the number after I block them.

Mom’s doing great. She got her six months scans a couple weeks ago and she’s cancer free. doing immunotherapy to ensure it doesn’t return. It’s been a lot but I’m grateful we can be here.

My parents retired in Maine to be close to family And care for my non-verbal autistic sister. So in Feb. when my mom was diagnosed w/stage 3 cancer while my dad has dementia and trump started to fuck around w/the va (his job), it was a sign to move north. Gonna wait out the trump years in the cold.

My guy just has a strong aversion to politics (really the assholes in politics) after his time in the marines. but our protest spot is right next to the local ice cream place so he’ll be ok.

were hoping for a thousand so or at ours (midcoast Maine only has so many people). But my partner (volunteered to even) is attending his first protest ever this weekend (been going with my dad) so times they are changing.

You can't make GPUs/data centers that much cheaper without fucking over the oracle/nvidia part of the triad either.

My Ap Bio teacher was the cheerleading coach so we painted football banners 2-3 times a week. And baked cakes. Got a A in the class, and a 2 on the test.

It's almost been a week since this iconic moment, and I still crack up about it daily. 🤣 What I wouldn't give to know Martina's group texts with Chrissie Evert rn #rhom

Because it's Love is Blind drop day and a lot of us have group chats to keep up with.

Is this a statement about how Janet Mills' fundraising texts? Definitely. I blocked four numbers yesterday and they still out here changing the number begging for money acting like an Indian bot farm. We ain't donating a cent to anyone. Leave us alone.

Maybe it's because I linked my dad's phone to my ipad to rout out scam texts, but it's really fucked how similar most dem act blue stuff sounds just like the dudes trying to charge you 765 for 'McAfee subscriptions'.

Loved quarterly training because I got to plain candy crush inside with ac instead of playing it outside on some ft hood parking lot.

This reminds me of quarterly training when they would force soldiers to watch a bunch of slide shows, fall asleep, and then give us the answers to the test we'd have to take afterwards. Something that Hegseth himself absolutely did when he was in.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

I moved to New England to be closer to fam and spent a good 10 minutes at our last cookout laughing at my beloved Bobcats now being a Pac 12 school (and greater conference realignment). I still can't believe it and neither can anyone else.
