antiques roadshow of all people should not be labeling five year old episodes as "vintage"
at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
god i was hoping for a pastel bathroom and this did not disappoint
there's simply nothing like it*^ *a phillies win ^hearing an announcer say "come from behind" with a straight face
There is still beauty left in the world
Happy Labor Day š
are you fucking kidding me phils

LESBIAN FROG CARVING!!

is this mutual aid, the greatest thread in the history of bluesky, closed by infinite scream itself in whatever the fuck it does when it comes back online
i did enjoy everyone talking around it like we're trying not to jinx a pitcher on their way to a perfect game
ācould a dead man be blasting les miz???ā is objectively funny, props to the WH for that one
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

The Phillies have 19% of the 4-HR games all-time, and that is not a statistic I would have expected them to lead baseball in.
DICK TRICK KYLE
what do you MEAN youāve never heard of cheese curds, kruk
Kyle Schwarber is a grand slam away from a "home run cycle." He's hit a solo, a 2-run & a 3-run HR. It's been done in the minors, but never in the majors. Are we on the cusp of something amazing? #Phillies Also, the more you know! š
with THIS phillies team? they could still lose this. we need more insurance runs

Ah, yes, for all you young people: there was a relentless effort to manufacture a consensus that Columbine was caused by Goth culture, industrial music, and videogames. The neo-Nazism was buried, and anyone who pointed to easy access to guns was denounced as a liberty-hating tyrant.
this one doll keeps insisting she wants to play with me "forever" and that she can help me with a "dreamless sleep" and it's like, baby, i have errands to run after my shift
a lot of conservators will tell you to pack dolls facing down so the little glass eyes literally don't fall back down into their empty heads but it's also so you don't scare the shit out of yourself when opening up a box to see a doll staring at you like it's been waiting for you for a hundred years
Yesterday, at approximately 9:30pm U.S. Central Daylight Time, somebody aboard the International Space Station rocked an astronomically impressive piss:
You don't even need to read a book of you can read a pair of shorts

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
open your windows & give me a few hours
you ever hear someone WHISPERING YOUR NAME through the WINDOW in the middle of an inning and it's just your NEIGHBOR asking if you want TOMATOES

oh my GOD. there's a woman on antiques roadshow rn claiming that josef von sternberg gave her aunt & uncle a beautiful pocket watch bc of how well they handled his dry cleaning which COULD be true, but i would swear on betsy ross' numerous graves that actually they had a threesome with von sternberg
āThis is a circa 1700 Spanish cannon that my wifeās uncle found while he was digging in the garden in Boulder, Colorado.ā hey sorry, real quick but WHAT?
the issue with antiques roadshow doing a compilation episode w/ stuff that the appraisers have never seen before is that all the appraisal estimates are true guesses! bc you can barely imagine the market for something you've never seen! so we're really just throwing spaghetti at the wall here
"I don't know how it came into our family." Stolen. That lamp is stolen. are you KIDDING ME
some great hustle here by a grandma in the 1960s going to an estate sale, finding a famous painting, and then TRACKING THE ARTIST DOWN to sign his real name on it fifty years after the fact
gonna switch to antiques roadshow but still post about it like it's a ball game
JesĆŗs died for our sins (Luzardo got ejected after getting removed from the game because he told the umpire to wake up)
The daughters of Hermann Gƶring's aide - who refused for years to talk with art-theft investigators - put their home in Argentina up for sale, and GUESS WHAT.

time to bring back my conspiracy theory that the mlb has a person whose only job is to release animals on the fields every once in a while for the news story
tfw you're watching surfers make bad decisions
"The issue isn't whether we should or shouldn't exhibit human remains, but rather can we do so in a way that does justice to these individuals."- Sara Ray, director IE No, you can't do so! Because in the end, you're still displaying their stolen bones! So whose version of justice is this?
We've been fucked this whole time, but now we are REALLY fucked defector.com/doomsday-for...
This is less of a human remains policy and more of a "we'll add more label text admitting that the bones were stolen in the first place."

finding so many marbles in archaeology is such a hoot cause on one hand, they're small & easy to misplace and on the other hand, dang a lot of people did lose their marbles
i'm GREAT at outlook
i hate when i show up for a meeting and they're like "you're covered in dirt." like yeah, bud. it's cause i was in the dirt. it's where the artifacts are. you have access to calendar and it says DIRT all day. maybe don't schedule a meeting for dirt o'clock if you don't want me showing up like this
