I played little league, and absolutely the only part I cared about was getting to wear those tall socks with a stripe up the side.

Not really into sports. Is there a stretch *every* seven innings, or just on the first one?

Driven by a feeling they’ve lost control to screens, teens and twenty-somethings are resurrecting CDs, flip phones and digital cameras.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

I would pay actual money to watch Bari Weiss cover a zoning board meeting.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 19h

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

Several years ago my old employer had one of those company health fares with a booth that purported to show you sun damage on your face.

The woman who ran it was taken aback at how little I had.

My secret? Don’t go outside.

This is actually about legal research. I uncover a lot of useful case law by just meandering in the databases. It's coded into my DNA. I'm hunting and gathering.
