OK, so this is pretty fuckin great itself: open.substack.com/pub/naomik/p...

There was once a rabbit who dreamt of wild adventure, of liners sailing to Brazil, carrot fields in Norfolk, creameries in Normandy. I have a small life, he said. But before he died, he looked up at his beloved human & he realised that a life of love is never slight, not at all.

@henninghampress.bsky.social I just got my copy of Foulness that I signed up for almost 4 years ago. I can’t imagine what you must have gone through to get this out. I’m so touched by your efforts. Thank you.

There’s something kind of beautifully elegant about this post showing up right under a @garthgreenwell.bsky.social post for his Relevance of Art lecture.

How could this have happened? 🤔

I mean, obviously there is no god. It’s the only explanation for how our society can continue to exist while we suffer this kind of behavior to go unpunished. www.mississippifreepress.org/police-shoot...

My Airbnb’s well-stocked kitchen. This place got like 4.9 average reviews, too.

I want the punishment. We need the finding out. The repercussions. We can build from the rubble in a bit.

Not gonna RS the thread that made me think about this (you've likely already seen it, or a similar one) BUT Every person I know who has cut off or gone low contact with a parent took YEARS of agonizing and trying to make things work because damn that's their PARENTS.

I know everybody on here is supposed to be anti-AI, but good goddam is the substrate of our society shifting around on us. It's just so deeply unsettling. ...and yes, in one sense, I do understand that it's a bit in the nature of things to change and unsettle us. Still...

werewolf transformation, but instead of being activated by a full moon you're activated by any guy taking a loud personal call at the coffee shop

How do the rest of you just decide not to let yourself get distracted by a thing that insists on taking up focus and concentration?

This is the way (and yes, I realize the phrase has kind of been misappropriated, but it feels right, here)

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula

way to fucking come in to pitch the 8th and give up back to back home runs without giving up an out...fuck...

Warming this braves fan’s heart, right here…

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Incredible sunset in NYC before the Nor’easter rolls in

"... greeting even our dearest with abbreviations like 'Good morning' when the true thought in our breast is 'Every day you step into my life, you make it brighter, and if you left the world, something in me would starve for you forever..." 😭❤️ (From @adapalmer.bsky.social's Perhaps the Stars)

Timeline cleanse.

Man...just one of those weeks, I guess, but I've just generally been out of sorts and unsettled. 2026-style Weltschmerz or something like that, I guess, mixed in with a regular daily life...

Sunday treats

Pro business?

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

I’m really fucking tired of all of these powerful people telling their generally powerless (on an individual level) constituents that only the constituents can fix this mess.

Or is your soul in very deed so tame, The blood of Grendel watered to a gruel, That you are well content With heart of flame Thus placidly to chew your cud of fuel allpoetry.com/The-Steam-Sh...

@kentremendous.bsky.social and @joeposnanski.com - you guys have this Dodgers thing all wrong. It STARTED with investigation into the financial shenanigans. Those shenanigans coming into regulatory focus forced the sale of the Lakers.

In case anybody can help:

This is brought to you by the people who believe that only men should be in the service, and no service wife should have a job. It's absolutely going to negatively affect readiness, and it's going to substantially harm many military families. It is something that, in fact, reduces lethality.

How do we feel about the use of "godspeed" from a firm agnostic in 2026?

I mean, this is just wildly irresponsible

Platner: credible accusations if abuse. Dems: “You’re out” Max Miller: pours boiling water on his wife, holds a gun to her head and fractures their daughters collar bone Jim Jordan: “he is a great man, I’m working to get him re-elected” Never let them tell you both parties are the same.

@nameshiv.bsky.social - this reminds me of a certain story you famously told

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

Red scare is also back on the menu.

Ok…this is fucking cool

I mean, this (what Miller is saying) is just anti American.

If you missed Dorothy in the NYRB annual sale, here’s another chance! Not a recent purchase for me, but I’d highly recommend Pip Adam’s New Animals…just an odd, strange read that’s stuck with me for a long time.

I can't keep myself from stopping what I'm doing and doing a little bit of a shoulder sway at my desk whenever Ruff Ryders Anthem shows up on my itunes spin. Takes me solidly back to early high school...I can't even tell if it's good, it's too much a part of my musical DNA.

Just listening to Pearl Jam's "Soldier of Love" goddam...make your day better and join me
