Just saw a TikTok comment rudely asking why Bad Bunny was blushing over "his grammy" flirting with him, like Rita Moreno didn't once pull Elvis just to make Brando jealous because she's Rita fkn Moreno and she knew she could. You'd blush too.

once in awhile i’m reminded of the sad reality that there’s a lot of progress that still needs to be made in liberal circles. they often don’t oppose ICE or deportations, but just the trump regimes brute-ish way of doing them

I like when first dates bring me flowers which leads me to wonder why I always have to scramble to, for instance, knife the top off a plastic water jug in order to keep them alive. This cannot be how other grownups live.

Just two predators ~15 mins after the hatchery guys showed up to restock the lake.
(They did not try to catch a single fish. They just spent 3 hours of enrichment time watching them like an aquarium.)

As always, my favorite oft-abridged quote on patriotism:
"My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right—if wrong, to be set right."
