I asked you your favourite biscuit and you said 'oh a hob nob' or 'digestive' or 'bourbon' and you thought it would make me think you authentic and real but you should have said 'the poshest ones I can find for the posh ones are the best' as that is the truth you hide and now I know you are a coward

If you can't think of the friend... It's you.
We've all got that friend we'd be entirely unsurprised to get a call for help from because they'd found themselves naked with their knee stuck in a tree 🙄 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums "The Milon of Crotone", c1840, possibly Stephani Vignes, in Château de Loubens-Lauragais, France

I believe that the traditional phrasing is "no fats, no femmes."
Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since yesterday would have been the 90th birthday of the late Jim Henson, and since today marks one month since Dolly Parton died, here they are singing a duet (with Henson voicing Kermit the Frog) on Dolly's variety show in 1987. See you around.
People who profit from war are the absolute worst of the worst.
🇷🇺 While ordinary Russians keep dying for their piece of shit president, Russia could be on track to set a record for Lamborghini purchases. In the first 8 months of the year, 141 new Lamborghinis were registered in Russia. That’s 48% more than during the same period in 2025 (95 cars).

I spoke about being queer in a religious upbringing to 200 Scottish teens at book event this afternoon. Had seven (yes, seven) queer students and two trans students come out to me quietly in the signing queue afterwards, one of them in tears. I will never forgive those who make their lives so hard.

As promised, stealing this idea. Will the fact that the essay is about cyborgs make the whole thing more awkward? Less so? Idk.
Yesterday I told someone “I’m going to steal that but credit you,” so this is me crediting: Tai-Won Kim at Sogang University has students write a short essay by hand on an in-class exam, but then also later expand it into a polished draft using both AI and human feedback. I like that combination. +

We’ve got this all wrong. This is clearly an adaptation of the Shamen’s seminal house music ode to the drug ecstasy “Ebenezer Goode”. “E’s are good/E’s are good/whoa oh oh/He’s Ebenezer Goode!” It’s just 2 hours of Depo dancing like Bez. For which he will be paid 65 million dollars.

@doctorow.pluralistic.net is more often right than wrong, but he's extra specially right here.
Here's a sentence that stopped me in my tracks last week: "The statement that 'the cemeteries are full of indispensable people' is just as true of nations, and in particular the US": crookedtimber.org/2026/07/16/5... 1/

UK’s museums and galleries left vulnerable to cyber-attack and theft, MPs warn
I've been reading Scientific American since I first got access to it at age 9 by sneaking into my school's senior school library (with the encouragement of the wonderful librarian Peter Heinecke). 😥
Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social
