I literally just today realized that in Dr. Seuss' pen name "Theo LeSieg" he just spelled his last name backwards. 🙃

Literally the plot of the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back."

It's also pretty much exactly the plot of the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back." 😬

These two trees across the street from me are the same type of tree (bigleaf maple, I think), but one has almost completely lost all its leaves while the other still has ~75% of them. Weird.

If I ran for a federal office this would be the #1 pillar of my campaign platform.
Excise the Cancer Trial & imprisonment for every single traitor who violated the Constitution in pursuit of MAGA goals. From the top all the way to the bottom.

Okay, FINE. Since nobody else has done it yet, I made a supercut of Mike Johnson responding to tough questions with "I don't know."

Yup. Trump was super clear before he was elected about everything he would do, and now he's doing it. This editorial was published in late October, before the election last year.

There's a startup working out of the same co-working space my company uses that makes these "private pods" and every time I see it from this angle I get unusually nervous… #gaming #startups www.geekwire.com/2024/seattle...

Weird coincidence at the grocery store yesterday.

Bought some candy for an event on our business card. Total was $57.38

Also made a separate purchase of some food for home, total… $57.38

😲

How conservatives imagine riding on transit vs. what it's actually like. #transit #urbanism #trains #lightrail
A terrifying group of apparent criminals armed with large guns, demons, and just generally frightening people sit in a dirty, dimly-lit light rail car, that is also on fire. A demon, or someone wearing a horned mask stands in the middle, walking toward the camera. AI-generated A group of clean-cut passengers sit in a clean, well-lit Link light rail car heading toward Seattle, WA. Some passengers are reading their phones, some just sitting minding their own business. Real photo, shot by Tim Ellis.

two-panel meme from the animated TV series "King of the Hill" panel 1: Bobby Hill holds up a poster on a window, facing indoors, the poster reads "Republicans control the House, Senate, Presidency, & Courts. The shutdown is 100% on them." panel 2: Outside, we see the school principal and Bobby standing at the window while a group of classmates (labeled "MAGA") inside the room look out. The principal has torn down the poster and holds it crinkled in his hand. He says "If those kids could read they'd be very upset."
