I'm so worried about what'll happen when our kids are old enough to have phones!!!! 😮😮😮
![A meme depicting a woman staring at her phone with one hand on her head, with the following text below:
IS YOUR CHILD TEXTING ABOUT THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD?
What your Great Lakes maritime history-obsessed teen's text messages actually mean:
brb = bell rang bro
rofl = rang out for lost (crew)
bff = big freakin' freigher
lol = Load of Ore on the Lake
smh = shift minutes to hours
glhf = Great Lakes hella freighter
tbh = taconite be haulin'
stfu = steer the freighter upwind
tfw = that freakin' witch (of November)
asl = a ship lost
gg = Gitche Gumee
idc = immoderate deadweight capacity
btw = beneath the waves
afk = a freighter kaput
hbd = hauler's beacon down
ily = iron load yonder
jk = just [24] kilometers
lmao = lost my abyssal ore
nbd = north bound draft
glhf = good lord, hold flooding
omg = obliteratingly massive gales
tmi = too much iron
wtf = White Fish (Bay)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ccm7gttkbfs2eyyrlpshmeun/bafkreib6ughtj23oqdskaisavrueyn6fijujbp2e663h6p6ukx74lbibyu@jpeg)

But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

well called one of my senators to let him know I don't support opening the government on the mere promise that we'll have a vote on The Other Stuff, and I'd like to let the other know but apparently his office doesn't take messages
also he's Kaine (D., VA), the Voice of the Compromise, so

remember when the Roko's Basilisk concept broke nerd-crank containment and someone effortlessly dismissed it as "imagining in the future there'll be a boot of such enormous size that you have to start licking it today"
is there a speculative concept that's less scary than the Technological singularity? tech is going to escape human control and everybody dies? that's fucking stupid.

While I like that I have successfully bamboozled my wife into accepting the name of the feral cocktail I made with pumpkin spice liqueur "Halloween Drink", I wish I had been brave enough to go with "Halloween Fluid"

btw it would be irrational to rob women of the right to vote because they’re intelligent and free and they contribute to the common good of the societies they’re in. So if you want to be sinful and wrong and ruin present goods, go for it, but I don’t recommend it.

In retrospect it was a little silly of me to silo off my own group of donators and not link directly to it! At this point, the number of donations to the team altogether exceed my match, so it makes sense for me to cough it up
Feel free to donate anyway, food banks can always use the bones.

"Did Women Ruin the Workplace, and can conservative feminism fix it?" good news, Betteridge's law points out that any headline phrased as a question is answered by "no" because if it were yes it would simply be framed as a statement.

Saw a quote from a guy who described the economy as being "on fire" and was suddenly struck by how intuitively to me that meant "bad" but context suggested he thought it meant "good" and IDK SEEMS LIKE AN INAPT ADJECTIVE FOR THE CONTEXT
