The Kaleb Horton memorial this week, deftly & entirely organized by the tireless @marieberd.bsky.social, was a great sendoff. A lot of people who couldn't come sent beautiful flowers. His family told me it touched the to see how many people cared. And we had a spread of Porto's pastries like this:

I wish I were that guy on the show Platonic. Married to the beautiful and charming Rose Byrne, stable lawyer job, occasional freak outs that don't do any lasting damage, and in real life I'm gay.

I met a guy who told me he was the Wishmaster so I said my wish was for infinite wishes. He said he didn't actually grant wishes, his job was to know all wishes. I said you're not the wish master, you're the wish analytics guy. He said Fate decides all but spreadsheets do help organize his thoughts

That in turn reminds me of when Stefan sent me a picture of a wall display of assorted consumer crap including a few tastefully mingled vibrators. And it was from Barnes and Noble

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I wish that breast milk were a fetish thing but for me the sense memory is standing in front of the bottle warmer after my 1000th night of interrupted sleep with the lowest level of cognition you can have while also conscious. Standing there with the neuronal activity of a crab waiting for it

I threw a scoop of vanilla protein powder in my oatmeal and the hot sweet milky smell was basically like breast milk. Not to yuck your yum if you're a baby but that's not for me

There was a period in the 90s when Tim burton was on a heater with his PG-13 goth style and it made you think, is there a latent popular love of goth shit? They play "love will tear us apart" on tv...maybe everyone's a little goth? But if you pushed on that it turned out, no, they still hate goths

I got some mustard at Walmart and I've been very happy with it except that every time I eat it I remember when beebee said that Jon drank Kmart beer

I would like to get to a place where consigning 14 million people to death isn’t described as “DOGE didn’t do much.”

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 3d

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion?

“Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

One time a guy told me what he thought was a very funny aphorism "I'll try anything once except sucking dick and suicide" and while I probably won't do those either I would generalize it further to "I'll try anything once unless I think I won't like it"

Hate it when kids say "Unc is evaporating" about me. Yeah no shit. It's called the water cycle. Why don't you little twerps comment on how I'm gaining just as much water from rainwater run off and my various tributaries. Or is that not "six seven" to you

My wife finally confronted me about some hachiya persimmons I've been keeping in the freezer for at least a year, so I cooked them up into some thing like preserves. It looks absolutely disgusting but I've been mixing it into my oatmeal for breakfast. This is my "this is how I win" but for losing
