Someone needs to start collecting cassette copies of In Got We Trust, Inc and see what people taped over the B Side.

I've said this for years but I've not got the means to do so

The MacArthur is often referred to as the “genius” award, much to the Foundation’s dismay

A year after George Saunders won it, i heard him asked whether the award had changed him. He said (i’m paraphrasing) “Yes. Now when I drop my toothbrush in the toilet, my wife says ‘Nice work, genius!’”

George Saunders

Satirizing and humanizing the moral dilemmas faced by Americans in the twenty-first century.

Tired: Thoughts & prayers

@prisonculture.bsky.social Was reading about June Jordan.

“Her mother suggested that they pray for those people. So Jordan prayed, but she also made a zip gun that could send zinging volleys of rubber bands at the culprits.”

My in-laws just saw an advance screening of Deliver Me From Nowhere

most cutting thing you can say is
"who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

FUCK THE YANKEES I have no idea what’s going on but that phrase is in the state charter so I had to yell along

Heather Hogan @heatherhogan.bsky.social · 1d

Wife: Fuck the Yankees!

Me: Hey maybe let’s don’t yell “Fuck the Yankees” with the windows open.

Wife, louder: FUCK THE YANKEES!

Guy walking by outside: FUCK THE YANKEES!

Be the sort of person where even the rumor of your demise sparks a global depressive spiral and not the Ewok celebration from Return of the Jedi

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

'I'm not dying': Dolly Parton responds to concerns about her health

Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”
