Two photography heroes of my yute were high speed photograhy pioneer Harold Edgerton and photomicroscopist Roman Vishniac. I did not know until now looking up how to spell his name that Vishniac had done a lot of work documenting Jewish life and suffering under the Nazis and had spent time in a concentration camp. I wonder why that is?
It brings me outsized joy this morning to learn that our world contains a Micropolitan Museum of Microscopic Art Forms, presented by the Institute for the Promotion of the Less than One Millimetre, no less! https://newatlas.com/micropolitan-museum/13522
Anderson, South Carolina is - and I speak from the bottom of my heart - a shithole. Canceling Kid Rock is the best thing it has done since producing my parents.
Didn't Republicans crush the Fairness Doctrine FCC rule back in the 1980s? That's what led to the proliferation of Rush Limbaugh and all the copycat Little Limbaugh AM radio programs that currently plague the United States.
I read somewhere that the little kid that Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to was actually Liam Ramos. I can't believe that was really true - I doubt the little guy wants to get on a plane anytime soon - but if it was, it would have been a nice touch.
Just a note that at my current job, which is thankfully temporary, I have the absolute most incompetent and not pleasant and not trustworthy co-worker I've ever had. Just had to say it somewhere.
“In which RFK Jr, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell went to South Dakota to loot some dinosaur bones from Native American land. (The Daily Beast)” - To be fair, RFKJ was probably just hungry for lunch.
I just summarized this story to my husband by stating basically what you quoted above, & it feels like I just did the worst & most bizarre game of Mad Libs ever 😂

Pilobolus crystallinus
is a tiny mushroom
that thrives in dung
where it shoots its bloom

Oh thanks! I meant to add a link to his cool museum, but then I forgot to find it. I'll do that now.
Spore-hurling is a botanical Olympic event.
Git out the way, I'm throwing today!
Talk about throwing ones hat in greener pastures!
Honestly, propelling one’s essence out of a pile of poop to greener pastures only to land in a new pile of poop has to be a metaphor for our times.
Better than watching a turret toss!
As I recall those things did a number on Mr. Spock
To rhapsodize on fungi
Has left me at a loss
When I look at dung I
Just can't come across.
The 2028 Rethuglican Primaries!
Republican National Convention
Slime mold libelz!
Fungi are actually fascinating. Unless you are having to make periodic trips to the dermatologist or podiatrist.
My brother asked me how on earth I did not like mushrooms and I told him I was not a fun guy.
I think I got a noogie for that one.
A bunch of fun guys (and gals) with mushroom caps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I&list=RDnk0rnk-N1zc&index=2. A different performance with all the lyrics: http://www.familyopera.org/drupal/sites/default/files/2018_Web_of_Life/18WoL-Performance/18WoL-07_Fungi.mp4.
And well you should have!
Yes. You probably did.
But everybody knows that for fun guys, a swirlie is indicated.
Aaaaaaah it’s the wokeness zombie fungus!
"Hat thrower fungus (Pilobolus) on rabbit dung" is the alternate name of the toilet paper halftime show for the 2026 Super Bowl.
I wonder if Shartyfartblast's "hair" is actually dead Pilobolus.
It'd be smarter than him
Nicely informative post today Ms Wonkette, cats off to you!
If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?”
I wish I'd been around to see Tolstoy's face when she said that to him.

re the FCC and the View - does that mean that Faux Noise is gonna be investigated to? no, you say? how shocking
To be fair, some readers really get off on AI-generated romance novels. Em dashes are sexy
Kid Stone Age stole the diggy from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
A Confederate pattern that remains embedded in US culture to this day
Remember even Melania tried to steal Forever FLOTUS Michelle's speech
And Beyoncé hat

every time I read Lutnick I think Nutlick and I bet I'm not the only one
Here! Here!
actually tim miller says he has to check himself when he's on MSNOW to make sure he DOESN'T say nutlick.
it's really really right.
It's like Chump always stumbles over LGBTQ, and I'm sure it's because some little voice in his head is going, "Don't say BLT. Don't say BLT."
He probably does too!

Debunked
Thanks - I didn't think so myself because the kid has experienced enough trauma recently.
Pretty sure it wasn’t him. Actually I don’t even think the two look alike. But there’s a name floating around of the kid.
Oh, Kid Rock being so terrible at his lip sync is so beautiful.
OK, libs, we got hockey and the NFL. What's next?
If memory serves, the NBA isn't exactly a bastion of MAGAdom either.

Stephen Miller?
Ah that at least gave me a laugh! Thank you!

Kinda describes the last 10 years too. 😬
Only the oldest and rarest for his bone broth.
Exactly.
