this is why I highly recommend the book Backyard Ballistics for anyone with kids aged roughly 12+
it’s all much safer than DIYing incendiaries or shooting fireworks at your friends, but you still get to use soup cans and naphtha to make a mortar that’ll launch tennis balls a good 50 yards

Offer to buy her a sword. Nobody doesn't want a sword. There are like 3000 date ideas WITHIN the renn faire too! Buy her some tomatoes to throw at the town fool. Nobody wants to fucking go hiking and drink IPAs all the time Braedon.

mammograms are awkward as fuck, but if starting them at 33 helps me avoid a mastectomy, chemo, or radiation, then I’m all for it

I say this not to disagree with the person I'm quoting, but to emphasize -- the prep isn't even that bad! The whole process is reasonably easy and it is *absolutely* worth doing.
Please, please get a colonoscopy. The prep kind of sucks, but it's the best sleep you'll ever have. And it could save your life.

@charlottegov.bsky.social, why isn’t this intersection eligible to request traffic calming measures or pedestrian safety devices?
CMPD said it was investigating a fatal crash near Harrisburg Road and Starnes Randall Road.

I really want to see a game at Washington-Grizzly or Husky Stadium, Indy 500 is a big one too
On the music side of things the Ryman has to be at the top of my list

I know you from up yonder and you used to people caring about your well being… so forth and so on

‼️‼️‼️‼️ Per reporters on scene, Leigh Wambsganss has shut down her party. She hasn't conceded to Taylor Rehmet yet, but apparently told supporters that “we’ll be back in November.”
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
