Funniest thing I've seen this month: The pope receives a Cubs jersey from a church head from Chicago.
The pope being an American, already had a favorite baseball team, namely the White Socks, and you can see it on his face.

Time to meet CLAWPUNK’s purrfectly chaotic cat, Larry! 💥 He claims to be the meow-yor of a town that doesn’t exist.
The only thing in life which brings Larry joy is the pogo stick he received as a kitten. 🐾 bit.ly/46OIoA4

Dear Mark,
"Hi, how are you? What do you do?"
If you need glasses for that kind of information, you were already at a significant cognitive disadvantage.

I am so sick of social media trying to radicalize me. Here I am watching short animated films on Youtube, subscribing to animators I like.
Turns out that one of them is a FAR RIGHT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
You just can't trust a click nowadays.

I had the incredible honor of playing the cello and upright bass on the new album from @rebeccasugar.bsky.social, the animation legend and creator of Steven Universe. I've been a fan of them for ages, so this was SO hard to sit on 😅
