Joe basically exists as a blue force ghost in my head and heart now, but it was nice to see such thoughtful and insightful kindness from Lee about the show this many years on. Feeling couldn’t be more mutual.

Listen. I teach 15-year-olds. And I know I'm preaching to the choir on Bluesky, but ... they are children. And I hate to get all "as a father of daughters" here but ... as a teacher of 15-year-olds this makes me feel ill and angry and even more protective of my students than I already am.

living in LA means looking at this and a) feeling visceral relief about fire risk, but b) realizing you are going to have to try to not drive anywhere for 10 days

This trooper made it through surgery and we are hoping it buys him a more comfortable end stage of his beautiful life. Send him some love.

I know literally everyone else has commented on this but the email syntax and composition style of this monster is literally insane

I had one of those teaching days where everything went wrong and I do not feel I actually effectively taught ANYTHING. So: tomorrow has to be better, right?

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide.

These judges want dead trans kids.
BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.

Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

I love this dog and I know no dogs can be immortal but man is loving a pet hard!
Having a 16 year old dog means 3100 dollars in sudden medical procedures which is actually WAY BETTER NEWS than discovering his kidney disease has advanced so far he can’t undergo the surgery, the scenario where the doctor started saying phrases like “end of life options” and I cried in the office

Tried to make small talk with my hairdresser today about movies & discovered they do not watch movies because they find movies “too long” and they “get bored.” Guys, phones have officially fried everyone’s brains
