We did the same thing with a VHS player and like 60 tapes from a garage sale last year. So much good stuff. And the previews! π€

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership
Currently feeling that from A Prayer for Owen Meany.
I woke the sick kids up at oβdark thirty to go the airport and the scheduled Lyft is gonna be 15 minutes late. You know what probably wouldnβt have been late? A bus. Just sayinβ #Boise.
KNOCK ON WOOD!! Donβt jinx it!
Reading the live posts of the SOTU on here is almost like the olden days of Twitter. The good olβ days, when Bush II was the worst the country had seen. Le sigh.
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.
Yeah, I saw that episode of Law and Order.
Who tf cares if a tax would make billionaires leave your state? The billionaires arenβt contributing more than any other citizenβ¦unless you tax them.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below π₯Ή)

One of my most inspired parental acts was to schedule the weekly library trip and pizza night on the same day. I love Saturdays!
Itβs even more offensive when Iβm already reading a summary of a longer document.
Iβve been writing pretty extensively warning about the plan to end no fault divorce in America. And Iowa is often a testing ground for the administrationβs plans. So its worth paying attention to this bill iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/02/09/b...
It was like that over here. Iβm calling in βsickβ most of tomorrow because I canβt people. Too much people.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
Itβs a Death by Stereo on repeat kinda day.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareβs Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Iβm so proud of @npr.org. Keep fighting! We do support you and we are here for you.
Just got my copy of The Memory Palace book and was tearing up by page 2. @natedimeo.bsky.social is good at what he does!
Fuck all this shit, Iβm going to the library.

Iβm no longer holding back from compulsively buying books at garage sales. This book I got today is a piece of history that DOGE canβt get to. Itβs not hoarding, itβs archiving!
Is that $8β¦per shrimp!?
I just had to turn off @npr.org in a rage because of a back-to-back needless Trump sound bite and then a male pronatalist telling me Iβm not having kids because Iβm not married. Why? Why cover something so obviously partisan and factually incorrect?
The public weigh-in in 5th grade shaped who I am today. And not in a good way.
