So I'll be retiring on Friday, and people ask me what my plans are. I mainly say I don't know, the plan is to see what the plan is. But this is a strong possibility.
Actually seems to be more about napping so far.
Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Jesus, this is the kind of on-the-nose symbolism in stuff like A Wrinkle in Time where they travel to the planet that was consumed by the Black Thing and every house on the street was identical and the children played by bouncing their balls in unison
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

My favorite part of auto generated recaps is when they draw puzzling conclusions, and the best one here is YouTube thinking Craig the Scottish Tour guide is an actual travel guide and not an @eleanormorton.bsky.social character

👋 Young(ish) Jewish American here who knows the history. Hillary can fuck right off.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Get rid of everyone in Democratic leadership.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.
