Our house backs up to a working farm but has about 100 yards of trees between it and the actual grass. Apparently, cows enjoy moseying around woods, which I didn't know because it has never happened in the six months we've lived here, and a whole bunch of them came by today.

I started taking piano lessons again this fall after almost 30 years of not taking them and I have found myself practicing two hours a day sometimes and not even noticing the time go by, which is something that almost never happened in my youth, though I loved playing and took lessons for 14 years.

47 trophies for Leo Messi, we're never going to see another player and competitor like him. What a privilege it's been to watch him play.

It's hard for me to imagine how they could have made the World Cup Draw show more boring. It was like they were actively trying to stultify us into a stupor, and the Peace Prize was a laugh out loud farce.

And yet, the actual group draw is still one of the most exciting things in the world!

I have received over 50 emails today asking for donations for giving Tuesday. It's overwhelming and I'm basically just unsubscribing from everything because it's completely absurd.

I can't imagine I'm the only one doing this, it's basically a tragedy of the commons for charitable orgs.

I haven't been camping in years but a friend invited me to camp at Sandpoint in Alabama and... wow!

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I really enjoyed the replies to this post, some classics as well as a bunch of ones I hadn't seen before.
this is a post where you (yes, YOU) can and should reply with underrated comic strips or other comic-y jokes. could be an unheralded entry from a classic strip or maybe a lesser-known strip altogether.

This is really awful news. Kevin Rideout and his family were some of my dearest friends growing up. We share the same birthday. The situation in Niger has deteriorated so much in just last two years. My thoughts are with his entire extended family.

Bradley County went 80% red last election but we had at least 100-150 people out for No Kings, the first one we've had here. I chatted with a woman who's been in the area since 1975 and she was blown away.

The number of people honking and supporting was incredible, and it was peaceful and joyous.

I would love for the next Democratic president to have Sherman as a role model.

This is good and necessary to say and hear.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

This is one of my favorite spots in the entire park, where you can frame Pikes Peak between Kissing Camels and Gateway Rock.

I've been visiting my brother and seeing friends in my old stomping grounds of Colorado Springs and walking around Garden of the Gods every day as much as I can, because it is absolutely glorious.
