Taught book 3 of the Aeneid today. After reading about the harpies attacking Aeneas and his crew I am all done with stories about birds massacring mariners. Now time to put on the baseball game and oh god what the fuck this shit again

Hey Siri, can presidents “expand [their] administration’s authority” by writing a memo? I must have been absent that day in conlaw.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

In honor of Toronto’s arrival at T Mobile Park this evening, tonight’s game fit is an homage to King Felix reminding all of their fans who inundate us every summer exactly where they are. Go do the damned thing, Mariners. 🔱

This Mariners team lacks many qualities of traditional Mariner teams. Things like ennui, hauntedness, self-loathing, gnawing doubt, obliviousness. They have none of those yet they are finding ways to win.

Bruce Harrell’s new ad that is edited footage of his debate with Katie Wilson, where he’s asking her questions about her experience and then before she can exhale and respond it cuts to the next question is extremely bad and off-putting.

This umps strike zone is all over the place, but at least it’s equal opportunity bad

Only a couple more months for humans to invent the massive kaiju-fighting robots of Pacific Rim, which takes place in 2025. My optimism is waning.

I installed a bidet seat in my house a year ago and I’ll never go back.

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 4d

All right, y'all, help me out. This is a bidet, right? (It's in my airbnb.) So, the idea is, you poop in the toilet and then...crab walk a few feet to your left, with your pants down? And stick your butt down in this thing? There's no seat, as such, so you're just...hovering your butt down into it?

I uploaded it to tenor last night I know we don’t have to use tenor anymore but I like being able to search in the app gifs for them. Anyway it’s in process.
