Yes. My mother-in-law does most of the shopping and we are begging her to get unscented Swiffer wipes. Our house has original red oak floors and Swiffer is the only way to clean them. Pro-tip: you can order unscented in bulk from Lowes’s web site.

Semi-related, there is an ongoing and unsuccessful movement to *change* the 1962 Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded to Watson and Crick for discovering DNA 🧬 and add Rosalind Franklin who had her credit stolen Bob Kane style.

If you mean campaign for themselves to get an award, no. I thought it never happened, but people on this thread said it happened once before. Whoever it was, he must be an ass.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

You’re the best, Linkara!

Oh, I'm not defending the ostensible privacy rights of Niles Compau. I'm just noting that you blacked out his name one place but not the other.

I wouldn't cast any blame on you if Niles starts getting e-mails from deranged "Twin Peaks" fans (if it hasn't been happening for years now) 😬.

Good reporting, HOWEVER!!! I hate the phrase “school choice.” What it really means is “forced resegregation”

Megan O'Matz @megomatz.bsky.social · 2d

The Trump administration is working to dramatically expand school choice, moving kids to a range of private & religious schools or homeschooling. Ultimately, what percentage of children would remain in public schools? A Moms for Liberty co-founder told me: “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

@maryreber.bsky.social the Twin Peaks subreddit says that the scene with Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee shot at your house for “The Return” was filmed ten years ago today. True?

Hey, @eriklarsen.bsky.social! Are you available to answer a question about comics? Thank you.

Owen "The Hammer" Hammer @thehammer.bsky.social · 2d

I’m pretty sure we settled on “Dragon” and you guys made a second version of the art that says “Dragon.”

Although “Dragon Lady” was my first choice 😭
