Went to an open house near me to see why this big beautiful house was still on the market. Lots of reasons, but yeah, i left after snapping this pic and the realtor had no idea?!

I mean, the basement was not off limits!

When I was a kid and didn't understand why my parents vote the way they do, they said, "Wait until you're older & make money, then you'll vote Republican." Well, I make money now and paid off my debts, and guess what didn't happen? 👀

I love when babies and toddlers aggressively open a book and look so perplexed like they're angrily reading the day's paper.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Had a good conversation with my dad over the holidays, and by conversation, I mean I asked him to explain the plot of Braveheart to me.

What is the bluesky version of a subtweet?

I would really love for my alma mater to cut ties with a psychiatrist that has a long history of denying trans Healthcare despite being an "expert" in the field. (He still offers an "elective" for residents)
