Aaaannd now, the remediation company has to come in and tear the walls apart, because the plumber can’t find the leak. He didn’t buy the theory of “sweating pipes” that seemed to be a possibility.
I use words and take pictures. I made two kids. I like bonfires.

It's not even that amazing of a hat or anything, but I liked it for sentimental reasons and I was sad to lose it
Had my favorite hat blown off my head during a storm in EPCOT more than a decade ago. I liked it for...reasons. They stopped selling it and I couldn't find a replacement. My cousin just found a practically brand-new one on eBay for me.
FUCK, man.
States’ rights y’all
This Nic Cage movie was both nothing what I expected and exactly what I expected www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_surfer...
I loved loved loved this book, and love these two actors, so my heart is prepared for the Great Ripping
That’s where the leak appears to be coming from—right near the kitchen sink, which is right above the basement bathroom. The plumber says he checked all those pipes, though, so I dunno.
The people who are getting mad at other people for simply expressing their wishes this early on (including wishes to be treated like full human beings) are showing their whole asses. Like, isn’t this exactly the time we’re supposed to be pushing back on possible candidates and saying exactly why?
Ugh. Sorry. And sorry for me, too, since that’s where I think we might be headed. What was the source of your leak?
That's my fear. It's driving the plumber crazy that he can't find the root. And now it's dripping a little faster again, even though no one in the house has turned on any water today.
The water has slowed back down to a very slow drip. Maybe it was residual water from somewhere. Plumber can't get back till Tuesday, since it's a holiday weekend, and it's not an emergency, so 🤷♀️
"Organic Daughter" sounds like a local yogurt brand you'd find sold in delis near New Paltz
2025 Democratic politics is that scene in every 70s movie where somebody gets their car stolen and runs down the street shaking their fist in the air yelling, "Hey, that's my car!!!"
The plumber could not find any real cause. He tried capping some pipes, which costs hundreds of dollars, but this morning, there's water all over the place again 😭
There’s a leak somewhere in the house that’s coming through the ceiling and into the basement bathroom. The plumber has been here for three hours and has no clue where the water is coming from (and they’re good, used them before). To add to the mystery: Some of the liquid appeared to be coffee!

I didn't go back to the OG, my bad
It can admittedly be confusing to children how someone who just lost the Super Bowl has managed to peel himself off the floor to do a fancy marriage proposal
I loved @vermontgmg.bsky.social's latest piece so much that I asked if I could republish it on The Handbasket and he so generously said yes. If you haven't read it yet, please do. It's essential:
A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.
This is just textbook 1930’s fascism
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Long Island skies sometimes turn into Florida skies. Happy World Photography Day!
At least 20 of us or so are having fun with this today
This is all very funny to some of us ex-Microsoft workers who used to work for the very similar-sounding msnNOW channel about 10 years ago. The well of rebranding names does not seem very deep 😂
this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇
I have more faith on the people on-site than a rando on the phone lol
Yes, I’m going to see if I can grab someone when I get there to help us out
I did call, they’re very busy with today’s game going on and I was put on endless hold. But I ended up booking seats right above the dugout—slightly obstructed view but in the first row. She also may be walking much better by then, but just trying to plan for the most challenging scenario!
Taking my daughter to a concert at Fenway Park in September. She broke her foot and will likely still be in the boot/crutches. I don’t necessarily need handicapped seats in specially designated areas, but I don’t want us to have to walk up a million steps. Suggestions from those who’ve done this?
It’s also very funny that they put a picture of Mamdani in this anti-Koslow ad, because Koslow immediately came out blasting Mamdani when he won the NYC primary. But the people getting this mailer probably don’t know that.
On Long Island, we’re getting mailers on the “extreme” Seth Koslow, the very centrist Dem running against the GOP incumbent for Nassau exec. Right-wing strategy is to flood the zone with every Dem/lib painted as “too far left.” Dems’ reaction here on LI? To cower in fear and not back progressives 🤷♀️
I enjoyed it!
An unexpected entry, suggested by my son www.rottentomatoes.com/m/paris_texas
Thanks to all in Alaska standing up for Ukraine. Sick to my stomach that so much has changed in just a few years, and that my grandpa’s home, once so close to becoming officially part of the EU, is now being stripped for parts and destroyed. So sorry to my family and friends there, we suck.
I’m authoring legislation to shut this ski mask shit down.
Same!
i mean I'd probably vote Republican if the Democratic President had human trafficked and raped me
ICE will grab your parents as they drop you off at school—also, it's normal to be excited about pizza Fridays and also to be a little nervous about your new teachers!
Or they’re just always in denial whenever a woman is in charge of a major city
Also so they can dispute claims of racial profiling by scooping up an occasional "safe" person
Imagine if "combating homelessness" meant housing people, not brutalizing and disappearing them.
My personal opinion is that everyone should be alarmist about everything the conservative movement is saying and planning and attempting right now. Be extremely alarmist about fascism. Be very alarmed about White Christian Nationalism. It is an absolutely appropriate reaction.
Sometimes I’m glad I’m not completely numb to this and still feel that occasional jolt from the worst news, because I don’t want to be numb to it all, but also, this all sucks and I don’t want us to keep experiencing these constant jolts of horror and dread
Does the US Capitol count
The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.
If they’re going after the homeless now, the mentally ill are next—and considering how they’ve painted many in the LGBTQ+ community as “mentally ill” (as they have liberals, too), I think we can connect the dots on what’s coming next.
A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.
You sure about this, Google?
democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either - nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks - concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life literally the only 2 options
U.S. Defense Secretary promotes interview in which Christian nationalist Doug Wilson says women shouldn't have the right to vote. Hegseth goes to a Wilson-affiliated church and sends his kids to one of Wilson’s schools. 1/2
Not a lawyer, is that bad
as the inventor of slicing a sandwich at a deli just enough that it looks like you have two clean halves but the bottom slice tears in a fucked up way when you try to separate the halves, i am honored to be nominated by our beloved president to head the food and drug administration
Full-grown adult here, happy 21
The reason you don't give ground on trans rights - beyond the simple morality of it being wrong to do so - is because you don't give ground on rights period, and if you're willing to let it slide for one marginalized group it means everyone else is just a matter of price
“What did you think Epstein was ‘stealing’ those women for?”
lol what www.thedailybeast.com/mysterious-o...
Yep, definitely, perfect timing and no better distraction from his own sexual predator accusations than to inexplicably offer a pardon to another sexual predator, a good smart move
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

This photo looks like JD Vance is posing with an array of slightly-off clones.
(I should add that I also don’t want any religion inserted into government/policy, but I don’t think politicians should have to hide their religious beliefs, as long as they fit the criteria I mentioned earlier.)
I’m pretty agnostic myself, but I have no issue with a Dem who lives in the Bible Belt openly expressing his faith in a way that appeals to the locals, as long as they walk the walk, are decent people, and don’t use religion as a cudgel against people they don’t like. Beshear fits that bill!
If this pardon happens, they'll all get around it by saying it was necessary to offer Maxwell so that she'd give up the biggest perpetrators (which will all be Trump's enemies). They'll claim they're saving the world from these big-name predators.
*Beshear
Andy Beshears doesn't hide his religious leanings and he does pretty well with both parties!
Today I talk to Ari Aster on the show! Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, Eddington, Albert Brooks. Great talk! Listen up! wtfpod.com
His need to always put on a “show” may have been a mistake this time
Me, 2019: "Epstein gambled on the differential between his power and voice in the world and theirs and for the most part he won, because the game was rigged by dozens of people around him... Monsters rule over us, on behalf of monsters." lithub.com/in-patriarch...
my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls
Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.
This story and Vonnegut’s “All the King’s Horses” were my first real dive into dystopian fiction in junior high/high school, and I think they set my vibe for life, lol (I have no idea how I’d receive them if I read them today; they just had a pretty big impact on me back then)
I’ll probably be disappointed by the adaptation, but this is one of my favorite short stories/novellas of all time
Just gave. Please consider helping if you can. Right now is an incredibly important time. Right now.
I think she understands the assignment. Maybe they'll throw in a few low-level chuds from the right-wing side to throw everyone off the scent.
It's pretty obvious that Ghislaine will likely give up (either truthfully, lying about it, or a combo) all of Trump's enemies and say nothing about him or any other major right-wingers, voluntarily for a coveted pardon (if she understands the assignment) or under threat (if she doesn't).
OK lol variety.com/2025/digital...
So that ridiculous Venmo thing, in which you can send money to the gubmint to help pay down the national debt, is apparently a little known program that has existed for years (still, would be fun to post it in all your favorite MAGA forums and tell them Daddy wants them to donate)
Shining so hard that Scatman Crothers beamed her to the LinkedIn "recommended" page (I get this push for her at least once a week)
If he's saying he has the power to, that means he's given thought to it
