When did cereal have balls? Weren’t the corn flake inventors famously prudish?

I had some buffleheads and when they were being annoying I called them bubblebutts. One particularly feisty one was nicknamed Admiral Dönitz for reasons.

I’m not a Maine voter but obviously I’d start with the chalk lady, because I’ve seen photos of the event and there was zero Nazi imagery involved.

Lifelong Maryland resident, I don’t recall ever having to provide any ID and haven’t had a voter identification card in decades. We have the same book, poll workers ask us questions, we answer, we go vote. Never seems to have been a problem. Never had to shuffle voting plans because I forgot my ID.

I have never forced a laugh at a racist or sexist joke in my entire life. And even in the case of direct supervisors I’ve found that a silent stare with extended eye contact usually sends them in retreat.

I knew you weren’t defending, I was just backing up your instinct that the term was on the garbage heap long before the lazy clinician used it

My great grandmother was a nurse at the Vineland Training School in the Depression, where she worked under the despicable Dr. Goddard. Three of her five children established residential homes for disabled children and adults mid-century. That word was disappearing by the 70s, no excuse today.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Talked to @sfgate.com about this year's super-early Joshua tree bloom, the lab's call for help tracking it with @iNaturalist.bsky.social, and what it may mean for our favorite spiky desert plants 🌿

Joshua trees are flowering in the Calif. desert. That’s bad news. buff.ly/US1ua60

I prefer to believe that the “person” at Chewy who helped me get refunds for a considerable amount of unused food and supplements after my cat passed was not a bot. If it was, it was a kind an empathetic bot, so not a grok offspring.

I’m pretty sure there has been a sharp uptick in Tshirt profanity since the fall of 2016. Not saying that’s disqualifying but maybe I wouldn’t wear one of sweary ones to a kids’ play

Great book! My favorite subplot is the quest to audit lit courses at U of M.

Now I’m picturing wee Romans arguing with their tutors about just this

Sorry John you may be old and opalescent but the author wants us to be making more room on our bookshelves for DEAD white men. Better luck next year?

The numbers are in. More people watched the bootlegged 60 Minutes CECOT segment than watched Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors on CBS.

As a heads up to Marylanders, one of the proposed warehouses for this heinous use is in Hagerstown — my hometown.

I hope that our general assembly can pass a prohibitive bill this coming session.

10 notable books on conservation and the environment published in 2025 The year 2025 might be seen as one of backsliding when it comes to tackling the environmental crises that face our planet. Political leadership in places like the U.S. and elsewhere chose to throw…

lol guessed that from the very first post, fellow Marylander here

Nobody’s forcing any of these sycophants, they are every bit as hateful and toxic as their dear leader.

As an atheist I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that a deity doing casual deity stuff is “work”. Was there heavy lifting involved? Picks and axes? Did the son of God need to hydrate afterwards? I
must of missed the part where miracles are subject to labor laws.
