Perhaps the pickled peppers were already parceled into pecks, which Peter then picked for his own partaking?

Nope - I had the same thought and now have their "Top of the World" cover running through my head.

Shark: a human saw and peed himself

Jellyfish: a human touched me once and his friend peed on him

Octopus: dude…

Shark: what?

If you see this, quote with your favorite Pokémon. (Wrong answers only)

Creature from the Ooblets creature-catching / life sim game. This one's "Radlad," and quite the smiley, long-legged dancing red radish (with tall leafy green plumage) is he.

Just going to toot the horn of a YouTube channel I've fallen in love with. The subscriber list has grown nicely since I started watching, but I think they deserve more. 😊

A place for history, and also stupid nonsense.

@altcdc.altgov.info @altcdc2.bsky.social @altdhs.altgov.info @altfda.altgov.info @ash.hematology.org Just flew to DC to talk to Congressional staff in person because nobody's taking action. I can't believe we're having to win battles already won.

🩸Your daily reminder that CDC's Blood Safety Program closed in April with no apparent plan for reopening.

There's a list someone (or a group of someones) pulled together on Google Maps with local game stores, in case anyone doesn't know if there are any local to them: maps.app.goo.gl/kt72HtpyPdbT...

Amplify Rep Lieu's OG post. Here is a dem doing the exact messaging we ask for showing visually how fucked up this is.

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 23d

Democrats are in DC working to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care.

Where are congressional Republicans?

It’s the day before a government shutdown... and they’re on vacation.

I hate this timeline.

GBH @wgbh.org · 22d

Since 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has helped make all of your favorite docs, children's programming, trusted news, and more possible. Now that Congress has defunded public media, CPB will cease to exist. We'll pause today on 📻 (11:59a) and 📺 (7p) to reflect on this historic loss.

Clip from the (old) South Park movie: a bunch of the kids sit in a room (Wendy in the front, Cartman in the back). Character next to Cartman: "We were to understand there'd be pie and punch." (They were misled by the promise of pie and punch)

I have this book, and it's been sitting on my shelf. Time to take it down and actually read the damn thing!

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response.

This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

At the ripe old age of 54, I appalled myself by *saying* "lol" out loud in conversation with my daughter. I pointed it out and she just said, "Good."

Lol.

Learning from experience and not letting the "optics" of playing on story mode stop you? Nah, more people should be like you.

JenX @m0nkeyh0use.bsky.social · 29d

"Song" is kind of a misnomer, but you get the idea.

JenX @m0nkeyh0use.bsky.social · 29d

I was in college in 1991 and this song would have been right up my alley. Yet today is the first time I've heard it (from another friend who had the same experience).

So now you get to hear it. Maybe for the first time.
