spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Maybe it’s just the hype and cast that built up expectations, but I thought the film “Weapons” sucked.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026

This is a fantastic way to educate children

It’s a form of resistance.

Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.

These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

There are a billion clones of Wordle on the internet and @avcx.bsky.social will more than satisfy that crossword cravings. You should not be giving NYT a dime.
Anyway, could you please stop giving the New York Times money?

Wordle is not THAT fun.

You can get the recipes for free with certain easy-to-find online tools, and Serious Eats has better, free, recipes anyway.

Come on.
like wow, the New York Times was never great but their full embrace of rolling around in the filth like a little slop piggie over the last decade has been surreal to watch

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
