Yes.
I take it the fucker’s alive?
“Undeniably dangerous, but fun.” Super.
It’s called homeschooling, and please be my guest.
Biblically-accurate chicken.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
I could have sworn he went in Marine One for the Covid hospitalization, but I’m wrong a lot.
Those "road closures" near Walter Reed are, in fact, permanent security gates, like you see at any military facility. Here's what they look like, and a post from a local confirming some of the gates are not staffed 24/7. It's possible the president is seriously ill, but I'm not sure this is related.
It’s literally nothing. That’s my neighborhood. Those are just entrances closed because it’s a holiday. The ones on the left aren’t even part of Walter Reed - that NIH.
Also it genuinely never occurred to me that M1 was housed at Andrews and didn’t just live at the White House.
Obviously we need eyes on the roof at Walter Reed. Who’s in DC and has a drone handy? (Joke, you’re gonna get arrested, don’t do this.)
That, to me, makes more sense— obviously I’m just going by the map as I’m half the country away but I’m not sure I see a benefit in a “get him there faster” sense to closing that small group of roads.
Heh. I was no more than a few minutes away from checking directions. Either way, yes, let’s all hope.
FWIW, Apple Maps shows those roads closed right now.
Continuing with the theme of “forgive me, I’m stupid,” wouldn’t they just bring him over on Marine One? Surely they can fit a stretcher on that thing?
1) Don’t. 2) Don’t. 3) In fact, fuck the iPads and the Chromebooks too. 4) Really, don’t use it ever, at all. 5) No, not even for that.
Seeing reports that Melania Trump has been spotted at Walter Reed, which is the clearest evidence yet that the shitgibbon is alive and well, because there’s no way she’d bother going to his bedside.
Somebody explain like I’m four years old. Is it just the blocked streets? I assume that’s what the minus signs mean?
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
I’m sorry, I know a lot of us don’t like President Trump but I think they could dispose of his cremated remains in a more respectful manner.

I can confidently assure you no one needs to be reminded of that. We all know.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
I take it he didn’t die overnight. Happy Labor Day, y’all. Join a union.
Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.
God. Do you think someone like Bannon gets confirmed by Congress?
Listen if Giuliani, Clinton, and Trump make the rule of three, I'm ok with it.
Fun/godawful question: what maggot are they going to pull from under the barrel to be Vance’s VP when Trump dies? Who would take that job?
I'm gonna guess Mitch McConnell is going to freeze for twenty straight minutes on national TV.
What other right-wing nutsack is gonna not die this weekend?
Also, I'm interpreting this as he threw a trafficked teenager out of his car, called 911 to pick her up, swerved back into traffic on a highway and got rear-ended, and I'll believe that until I see video proof otherwise.
Be very careful. I don't know how much experience you have with Tchaikovsky, but he wrote four books since I started writing this post. City of Last Chances has, I believe, two sequels and another announced, and there will be one more by the time you read this.
These bastards really have to stop not being dead when they could have been dead. Also, this is the most fucking ridiculous statement I've ever seen and I almost hope it turns out to be fake.

Jesus. I'd have cancelled class, and I teach middle school. I'd have done it anyway. :-)
“Mr. Siler, your head’s shiny!” “Yes. I have been sweating for five straight hours.”
Trying to wrap my head around "I want to write something about being nice to everyone on my rear windshield" and you decide that the problem is people aren't nice enough to LLMs.
Browsing the obituaries and watching a video about mandatory reporting of child abuse, as one typically does on a Sunday.
How many of you out there have never broken a phone screen? I've had a cell phone for 25-26 years now and I've drowned one but never cracked a screen, and I've never used a screen protector either.
If I could make one immediate and irrevocable change to human biology, this would be it. I would happily abide by my own damn rule.
I genuinely want to be in immediate physical pain if I ever say something this fucking dumb.
How many times have they pushed back the date the vaccine was going to kill us all?
Is he dead yet?

CHICAGO…
Right? Mysterious!
I Googled the artist to make sure he was real, and amazingly, all of his art is this lazy, with the possible exception of this piece, called “derrière le miroir.” My excellent command of French (Duolingo) enables me to translate: “The mirror’s butt.”
I mean, if this was called Brown Orange Pink Mauve Periwinkle? Now we’re doing Art.
I generally find “that’s not art; I could do that!” to be a vastly annoying take, but come the hell on, here. At least mix up the names of the colors to confuse people.
This suggests that he knows the name of at least one grandchild, which surprises me.
Jaws is in theaters this weekend. Just saying.
Hoping to get one more year out of the phone but we’ll see.
Nah, the battery on this phone has been trying to go for a while now and I’ve been on it for about five hours this morning.
Yeah, he’s golfing, the bastard.
Plugging my phone in to charge at 10:15 is a sign that I haven’t used my morning well.
you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
Finished Katabasis. Genuinely not sure what I thought of it.
Ah, you credulous fools, nothing good can happen in 2025.
works of art but like more murdery: thread
There’s something very Ship of Theseus about shoe repair videos and I have to admit I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t just buy a new pair nearly all of the time.
I just started two skeets in a row with “True but” and now I’m deeply ashamed of myself.
True but I’m very invested in finding out before my wife does.
True but I really don’t want to spend the next week and a half glued to the news.
I thought it couldn’t be worse than Vance. I was wrong.
melania constantly refreshing the tl
Will never forget welcoming a Katrina displaced kid into my classroom and then not half an hour later poking him in the eye while gesturing angrily for another seventh grader to get his ass in a line.
Just unfollowed an account that has gone completely off the deep end about Newsom. Every Goddamn post is about completely imaginary Democratic centrists who have apparently already stolen the election for him.
Warren Ellis is a vile son of a bitch, but Transmetropolitan remains creepily prescient. We are not replacing the Beast with the Smiler.
Reader, she had lost an earring and was concerned that the piercing was going to close. I have a silly job.
Today’s moment of WTF: a female student approaches me and asks for a single staple. I ask what she could possibly need one single staple for. The class suddenly has one of those magical moments of sudden silence as she says “I need it for my hole.”

Jack Kirby, born on August 28, 1917. The King.
LOLLLLLLLL
Y'all realize this means he's gonna be dead in a week. This motherfucker already killed the Pope.
Caroline Kennedy put out an extensive video making clear RFK is off his nut, plus his own unstable history was there for all to see. But sure, let’s see how he does. youtube.com/shorts/fm0-a...

Disable ChatGPT this fucking instant. Destroy it. JFC.
Taylor Swift’s exes all have the chance to do the funniest thing ever at her wedding.
A reminder that we don’t even have to admit that Charlie Kirk or his stupid misproportioned face even exist, much less pay any attention to his dumb fucking opinions.
Set this technology on fire and put some people in jail. Generative AI is a fucking cancer on humanity.
I can’t believe they just let him rattle on with this insane brain-mush bullshit and no one ever pushes back.
Pritzker is “running” by every measure that Newsom is. Literally no one has declared yet.
Just realized that when it finally happens it’s going to be during first hour at work and I’m going to have to go the whole damn day before I can properly celebrate.
Pritzker, Harris, Walz, Buttigieg and Whitmer are *all* better choices than Newsom.
I find it genuinely unbelievable that it took until last week for any of these fuckers to get shot.
What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker
As a teacher, I do like kids, but I also like to remind people that part of my job is to turn them into adults.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
He’s named after Charles Mingus, but Mingus Reedus sounds hilariously like Biggus Dickus and I dunno bout y’all but I think I would just give up walk directly into the sea
OTOH it's way more fun to assume that deer are evil and OP possesses secret knowledge about their true sinful nature.

Oh! No, I haven't seen those folks at all. Literally exactly one person who was a firm supporter; that's it.
I’ve seen those too— the anti-Newsom posts are definitely a real thing, I just don’t know who they think they’re arguing with, if they’re not just trying to stir up trouble.
Damn.
