Did someone say "historically hot?"

Some days you just need to bake some bread.

A pan of 15 soft bread rolls, with a bit of shine on them, sitting on top of the oven.

Worst. Christo homage. Ever.

A tarp covering the name of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, obscuring that Donald Trump's name has been removed.

"Yes. It’s terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and… everybody lives happily ever after."

Thank you to the pilot of The Critic for this unexpected delight.

Sometimes the best treatment for the Living-In-A-Dystopia Blues is 900 or so people singing about a nightlight. Thanks for a great night @tmbg.bsky.social

17 years since the voice of summer went silent. I genuinely like TMac and Franzke, but I still miss Harry all the time.

A photo of deceased Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas. In this picture Harryi s a white man who appears to be in his 60s. He's wearing a sportcoat and waving his right hand, with an expression on his face that evinces a combination of joy and sadness. Fans are blurry in the background, standing and cheering.

Bruce Springsteen, looking goddamn FINE, dressed in all black while holding an electric guitar.

Side by side pictures of Donald Trump showing large jowls, looks of confusion, and a scaly red rash on his neck.

Post a ship that's not #StarTrek or #StarWars

The spaceship "Serenity" from the TV series "Firefly." It has a single large rocket booster at the back on the left side of the screen, a bulbous middle with two side rockets, a skinny neck, and then a pointed, almost bird-like front.

The first concert I ever went to with just my friends, no family, when I was 14. And I am so happy to be going to see the Johns again.

A screenshot of that read "Hey Thomas! You're going to the show." Underneath is a photo of two middle-aged men, John Linnell & John Flansburgh, otherwise known as the band They Might Be Giants.

This is a total stab in the dark for my #phillies fan friends out there. Ages ago (15+ years) the Phils sold this Phanatic ornament. My brother and his family had one they loved, but lost along with everything else in the CA fires last year. I can't find one anywhere online. Anyone have any leads?
