Normally I keep this stuff inside. Today, seeing this for the hundredth time, I reached the point of wanting to scream. This is a canal aqueduct designed by J.A. Roebling, years before the Bklyn Bridge. Right out in the open. Few people know or understand what it is. 1/3

@BryanforHD2 Wondering how "God," who doesn't have a body, have a gender?🧐

Republican controlled Texas Legislature has a vice chair that believes God is non-binary. Who elected these republicans?

@RepFine @BrendanCarrFCC Congress really needs minimum education standards.

BREAKING: I just sent a letter to @BrendanCarrFCC calling for a full and immediate investigation into the Bad Bunny Halftime Show. In America, our laws are not suggestions, and no matter what foreign language you speak, you must comply. nypost.com/2026/02/10/us-…

@RefilweSeboko My first and only child born when I was 41. Healthy & normal pregnancy, healthy & normal baby.

Are there any women on here that had a healthy pregnancy/birth 35+ years old? I'm looking for hope for myself.🤞

@joannaofottawa Thank you SO much for your vote of confidence—a voice in a wilderness of silence. I’m steeling myself to write the book anyway, the first time with neither agent nor publisher. 🤞

@PerfectVehicle Noooo! I would love to read this story. There must be an outlet for it!

"In all guises — mother, biologist, poet, Japanologist — Larson looks for commonality, itself a form of repair. 'We are the world’s body. There is no separation'": @PerfectVehicle on Katherine Larson's WEDDING OF THE FOXES @Milkweed_Books @On_The_Seawall bit.ly/48fYKT3

I was so happy to get the chance to write about Joanna Pocock's profound examination of America's ailing heartland. One more in my list of proofs that it is publishers like @softskull putting out the most daring and accomplished writing today. wapo.st/4oWZS3Q

@sayanniething Lisa Halliday's "Asymmetry" might fit the bill?

Doing some research… what are some (other) books like NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS and THE MOBIUS BOOK, which is to say novels with two somewhat discrete halves that sort of overlap or connect but you need to do the work to figure out why?

@real_evasee @yanosvale7 La frase es de Melissa Holbrook Pierson, @PerfectVehicle en su prólogo a la edición española que publicamos de su libro "El Vehículo Perfecto". Su frase completa es: "Las motos salvan vidas"

This is where I will henceforth be doing my usual frequent lurking/rarely posting; the venue changes but my social anxiety does not.

@TonyMcTonyo Yikes! You are the only one to have caught this humiliating typo! He arrived Key West the 9th, so he had to have started the 5th--or would that be the 6th? My math is bad, my documentation buried, and online reports hard to find. Good catch that should have been made before.

It’s the 2012 W. W. Norton paperback edition.

@PerfectVehicle I read your second book about motorcycles: The man who would stop at nothing. And I’m a little confused by one date: in chapter 7, you write that John was suffering from a string of bad luck up until the 6th of June. “Then, at 12:55 am on June 1, he starts”. Typo?

@TonyMcTonyo It’s the Carcano-designed Moto Guzzi V8 racer for the 1955-7 Grand Prix

@PerfectVehicle I read your book, The Perfect Vehicle: What It Is About Motorcycles. Can you please tell me what motorcycle is on the cover of it?

I'm halfway out the door here, so let my farewell be this admiration of the deliciously complex "An Image of My Name Enters America" by Lucy Ives, incomparable writer and mind. @GraywolfPress Thanks to @RonSlate for the opportunity. ronslate.com/on-an-image-of…

That half the country wants to give the presidency to a convicted felon awaiting sentencing who wants to shoot migrants in the leg, shoot BLM protesters, use our military against our us (those Trump doesn't like), and is clearly dragging his leg due to a stroke, is insane.

White Media: We make endorsements all the time Democracy: Endorse the Black lady. White Media: If we endorse the Black lady people won’t trust us so we’re no longer making endorsements

@TimOBrien A thing of beauty.

Giuliani was ordered to put his luxury apartment, cash accounts, jewelry, sports memorabilia and a $2 million claim for unpaid 2020 Trump campaign legal fees into a receivership to satisfy Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss' $146 million defamation judgment. news.bloomberglaw.com/bankruptcy-law…

@atrupar They all run backward.

new grift just dropped

@BulbCultCo @TheWeeklings Thanks a million for the opportunity!

@PerfectVehicle @TheWeeklings We're so glad we could bring your incredible work back into the light!

@BulbCultCo is doing god's work: literally, because who else can raise the dead? In this case, a piece I'm fond of that first appeared in the sadly deceased @TheWeeklings. Welcome back, little CNF.

They are looking for a way to stoke fear of Black Caribbean immigrants because Kamala Harris is herself of Jamaican descent. Watch for conspiracy theories about her family next.
