Last two lines of a poem

People also ask, what is the sun’s real name?

How much longer has the sun got left?

‘22 was bad despite winning because I had to grit my teeth about the candidate constantly.

Switching things up this fall since volunteering in PA the last two cycles has done me tremendous psychic damage.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Yeah I totally get why that pissed people off.

🚨 @sameoldstory.co

Leaving that aside, the video talks about the ubiquity of knit fabric in the world while showing woven garments, labels a fabric of reverse stockinette stitch as stockinette and says knitting is "kind of like programming" when really that's exactly what it is, and that's just in the first two minutes of a ten
minute video.

“Our big strong jellicle cats are transgender” is going to be kicking around in my head for years.

Laurasaurus @laurasaurus.bsky.social · 11h

I’m so sorry. He was wonderful.

Laurasaurus @laurasaurus.bsky.social · 11h

I hope it’s Hank because of the yarn pun potential.

Laurasaurus @laurasaurus.bsky.social · 11h

This sort of drama is very much up my alley, but sadly, all the explainers I’ve found are videos, so I may never know the details.

Hannah Pumpkins 🎃 🍂 @hannahposts.bsky.social · 11h

I am aware that one of the Green brothers enraged the knitters, bc I have seen many thumbnails of videos purporting it discuss the drama. I haven't looked into it bc I think it's much funnier to just have the vague knowledge that the textile community is at war with a vlog brother

"A big guy came up to me, tears in his eyes, sir they made musical theatre gay. Our big strong jellicle cats are transgender."

lol finally.

I’ve gotta say, the “at least one at-large council member needs to be from a different party” thing seems really outdated. Like 85% of this city votes for Dems.

Wilmington’s lone Republican councilmember, James Spadola, has switched to the Democratic Party, leaving City Council entirely Democrat-run until at least 2028.

Wilmington Council’s sole Republican switches parties mid-session

Wilmington City Councilman James Spadola changed his party registration from Republican to Democrat last week.

One of my most Northeastern crank views is that using “in another state” as a synonym for “far away” is annoying.

White male populists loooove to portray steel towns as being much more white and male than they ever were, because of course white men are the REAL working class. 🙄

BROADCASTER: [Voice shaking] They killed him. The Phillies killed Clayton Kershaw. All he's got now is his ring, millions of dollars, and some personal beliefs no one wants to talk about. Oh god the Phanatic is unhinging his snoot and devouring him like a boa. Why is he even here

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.
