BABY ANECDOTE MEGATHREAD: As some of you know, our daughter was delivered via c-section last week. So in addition to joys and struggles of new parenthood, my wife is also contending with recovering from major abdominal surgery. She’s in good spirits (the baby helps), but there’s a lot she can’t do…

Finally deleted my abandoned Twitter account, and decided I should lose Facebook, too. I still get a modicum of joy here, but am really reevaluating how I want to spend my time.

Genuinely, I don't know how people forgive him for that haircut. It's such a brazen, balled-faced lie, trying to put it past us is an insult to our collective intelligence. Remarkably, the rest of his lies are equally unconvincing, but his base seems to relish being lied to.

"Sorry kids, dinner is going to be several months late."
The Trump administration told a federal judge on Monday that it plans to use the SNAP contingency fund to cover 50% of November allotments to current eligible households — but that it might take states “a few weeks to up to several months” to disburse the money.

Oh no! Did he leave the classified information lying around Mar-a-Lago?

Surely everyone recognizes that threatening to cancel entire networks for hurting his feelings is weak-ass shit. But the whole premise of his political movement is that he is always right, so we end up with an entire party too weak to call out weakness. Sycophancy as a political identity.

There's no explaining away Trump having posted a video featuring AI version of himself. Did he forget that he hadn't said that stuff? Did he know that he didn't say that stuff, but didn't see that known fraud as disqualifying the other assertions in the video? What's the best-case scenario here?

Literally threatening the country with a good time. Supporting trans rights and shutting down his regime seems like an easy win. (So of course the Democrats will screw it up...)

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

He can’t make groceries cheaper, but he can cancel a late night talk show. And another. And rename the Gulf of Mexico. You know: priorities.

Went to my first Brookly Cyclones game last night, though one of the friends that I went with was under the impression that I was a big fan, in case anyone was wondering what kind of energy I'm giving off these days.

The hero we need.
The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

You fail to read 100% of the library books you don’t check out.
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
