I've been Sun-Maxing. I only get Sunday off, excepting Federal holidays, so I pack in everything I can't do during the week: coffee with aging parents, Costco, and a little time at the beach to hunt for agates and make some memories with my daughter. Found one little agate today:
It's tricky, you know? Entangle your soul with infinite inhuman horror or maintain your heart's tenderness in defiance of an increasingly harsh world? Both sound metal as hell
I am unreasonably excited for this: youtu.be/GcVrttrXQD8?...
The sound of bells drive some people to murder whole cities maybe?
Not sure its even cracking the top ten.
As a current letter carrier for the USPS, and as a fan of the book, I endorse this wholeheartedly.

FREE DC.
The coffee knowledge is interesting, and I don't know enough myself to question it, but what I really want to know is what does @dieworkwear.bsky.social think of the suit????
When asked to comment on his A-level results by the BBC reporter, this young man replied "So, on that note I just want to say Free Palestine. End the genocide, and the BBC is complicit." Legend. #FreePalestine #EndTheGenocide
Tables would have been FLIPPED. Somebody would have taken one look at the room after I was finally sedated and asked, "who pissed off the wookie?"
There was fentanyl in that hoagie
My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.
Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2, 2020. She was charged by Trump’s DOJ the same day. Joe Biden did not become president until January 20, 2021. Do not let these Cons change the past.
The world seems like it may be going to hell at warp speed, but I was lucky enough to be able to go #rockhounding this weekend and found the smallest #agate I hope to ever find:
You know? I *should* make a trophy for that!
Fall of 1996, I was playing touch football in college on the sci-fi/fantasy/gaming club's team and in the final down of the game, I catch the pass in the end zone for our only TD. We beat the spread at 16 to 1 (yes, 16 TDs to 1), so our opponents (Sigma Chi) lost their bet with another fraternity.
Watched an episode of #BlackDaggerBrotherhood because my wife is something about 16 books deep and enjoying them. The Black Dagger Brotherhood show makes Silk Stalkings look like Shakespeare. But who gives a shit what I think, like what you like and don't listen to me.

I'm not an expert, but I have a feeling that the differences are all based on vibes.
I also don't know why I felt the need to say this publicly when I could have done so privately. Cuz...like...we're friends. We know each other. Why did I just chatgpt this conversation? I added useless steps to normal interaction. I really need this vacation that started 2 hours ago.
This remains the single time I've seen it used and actually be useful. Every other use has just been a Google replacement, but way worse.
Union steward used it to help another steward with grievance language and I said, "you absolutely need to look up the referenced citations. This thing can help but you must double check it." They were able to quickly search their pdfs of the contract and verify things.

Finally, I can post this video I've been hanging on to since somebody sent it to me.
The local bike path is now the site of a vigorously contested pet… election?… and it seems like something @darthbluesky.bsky.social should know about

Everyone loves this mf he's a rockstar to the people. no wonder the Democratic Party and the NYT hate him. He's having fun and he's likeable, two things they absolutely can't relate to in any way
What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE
When you’ve done nothing wrong you typically do a ten part social media post justifying what you’ve done
Watched this live and wasn't really liking this episode until he said this and it hooked me. Maybe my second favorite episode. Groundhog Day episode being number one, of course.
A Jan. 6 rioter was caught on video encouraging insurrectionists to "kill" police officers. He was recently hired to work in Donald Trump's Justice Department. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...
With spending cuts poised to hit medical providers, Medicaid recipients and Affordable Care Act enrollees, here's how the bill will affect health care access for millions in the U.S.
Watching Welcome to @wrexhamafc.co.uk season 4 episode 2 and I got unreasonably excited to see the #postalworkers casing their flats. Looks like they don't need to bend their magazines to fit them in. I might be in a #usps cult now.
@baldwin.senate.gov on the Capitol steps with people who will be hurt by this bill. She is right: the Big Beautiful Betrayal would be devastating for the health of children. 1 in 3 kids count on Medicaid for their care.
On second thought, wearing a shirt that says "Beards Not Bombs" to Pride probably sent a different message than intended.
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."
A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️
"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"
And here it, the funnest election night clip I’ve ever seen: @errollouis.bsky.social asking the reporter at the Cuomo party if the revelers look like they’ve been working. Her answer SENT ME!!! 😅😂
I better be able to buy these here in Wisconsin.
He's such a goddam moron.
I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm
At the Turner Hall Ballroom for the @oldgodspod.bsky.social show. Why did I take the picture this way? I dunno. #unhallowedgrounds #oldgods
I snapped a couple pics of the #nokings protest in my small #Wisconsin town on my way to work:

More people will be standing on the Key Bridge to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July than were watching this. Sad!

This is an important PSA from Dr. Beachgem, who is a pediatric emergency physician I love that she talks about drownings that are fatal and non-fatal, and mentions that many drownings happen with multiple adults present Pick one person who is not on their phone and not distracted by anything else!
This push to remove the only two people #DNC who have any idea what is going in the country and how to stop it is so fucking #stupid that I'm going to unsubscribe from every #Democratic fundraising email I've received. I'm actually taking the effort because I don't know what else to do.
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?
I tried to order this from my local music store and they said the only copies available were "very, ridiculously expensive."

In other stupid news, the #Kegseth sideburns are still uneven. It must be deliberate.
He sure did!
I just called my 84 year old father to tell him there was a new ship being worked on at the shipyards and he was very interested. I understand why people go trainspotting now. #trainspotting #ferry #boats #lakelife
The kleptocracies of Mobutu & Marcos took bigger proportional bites out of their countries’ wealth, but in absolute terms Trump 47 financial corruption is probably beating their lifetime hauls every week. Other than the case of post-91 Russia, what else could rival what we’re seeing in magnitude?
And his sideburns are still bonkers! The right one is three inches longer than the left one! How has he failed to notice this? This is like the fly on Pence's head.
There's some remarkable "I'm not mad" vocal work being done here, but I think it's high time Secretary Hegseth sits in front of Congress and explains why he has one really long sideburn and one normal-sized one. America demands answers.
i am going to Lose My Fucking Mind if the seed crystal for an antifascist general strike ends up being david fucking brooks
Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.
RFK Jr claiming that only 1 in 10,000 of his generation is on the autism spectrum is pretty wild.
Dude, I can't tell if this is a serious question, but I'll say this, I don't watch any sports, aside from the Tour de France with my dad, and the first American professional sports team I think of if asked is the Chicago Bulls.
Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.
I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/
When are they even going to fit in The Dragon Reborn at this rate? I'm assuming that Mat finds a red door in Tanchico at this point.
Definitely missed that with my 10 minutes here and there viewing. I'm trying to give the show space to find it's feet, but the three sentences of Perrin speaking turning the whole town into a militia bugs me.
I haven't gotten more than ten minutes or so of th3 current episode, did they cut Tam and Abell from the story completely?
Any book readers want to gripe/groan/bitch/moan about the Wheel of Time tv show? #wheeloftime #wot
My daughter will someday say to her boss, "my dad remembers the Anita Hill hearings AND the, uh, Orange Juice trial? I dunno, he's weird."
I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold
The Maine senate election against Susan Collins vital for 2026 The Trump Administration has dumped two extinction-level scandals in her lap: - Killing the vital LIHEAP program - microtargeting Social Security cuts against Mainers Meanwhile she's nowhere, doing nothing to protect her constituents
As a Bears fan, I am thankful for these photos of Elon Musk wearing a cheesehead and looking like a dope. Will come in handy when they play the Packers.
I’ve read several articles today referring to RFK Jr. or Geier as vaccine “skeptics”. I again beg the media to STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION. They are not skeptics. They are lying, grifting, unqualified frauds who are promoting a conspiracy. “Conspiracy theorists” would be much more accurate.
This kid knows what's up! Thanks to our @lettercarriers.bsky.social brother in Wisconsin for sending this adorable clip! #SaveThePostOffice #USMailNotForSale #HellNo
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
My working theory of US politics is the tagline on the poster for Alien Vs Predator: ‘Whoever Wins We Lose’
