Presidents should not be allowed to pardon people they egged on into committing their crimes. It's not forgiveness, it's lawlessness.

Lift a glass (fork?) tonight to the memory of Louis Camille Maillard, who in 1912 described and investigated a chemical reaction, now known as the Maillard Reaction, that is responsible for the tasty brown goodness of seared meat, toasted marshmallows, bread crusts, and a million other yummy things.

I just can’t today, so a nice story instead. As a kitten, Mac never purred or made any sounds. The vet figured his vocal cords were damaged & he would always be silent. About 5 or so months ago he found his voice and is now quite the talker. He also learned to make biscuits around the same time.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.

These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.

Gotta say it was kind of amazing when Twin Peaks: The Return came out in our Easter Egg Breakdown, Ending Explained-ass wikibrained media landscape and forced people who watch tv to solve it or beat it like a puzzle to temporarily reckon with raw human emotion and borderline experimental imagery

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

To say that he was my favorite filmmaker would be an understatement. It’s no exaggeration that for me personally, the fact that I got to be alive for 35 years on this planet while David Lynch walked the earth and made art is only akin to sharing oxygen with a literal prophet (1/15)

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER
