I don’t like to play the parenting comparison game because we’re all just trying our best, but I’ve got a 13 year old kid home on a snow day who is an absolute joy and always helps with chores and never had that cop Elf on the Shelf in his house to make sure he was being good.

if you see a robot in the wild like this you are allowed to ride it like you would ride a turtle if it wasn’t unethical to ride a turtle.
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

This brings up a good point: if the adaptation didn’t get licensing for at least a few of the crucial hits from the soundtrack, it’s a fucking waste.

So apparently someone made a musical adaptation of the 80s vampire classic ‘The Lost Boys’ and while I definitely add it to the list of signs our culture is falling off a cliff, I know that next summer you’ll find me tripping face around a campfire with it as the soundtrack.

My octogenarian MIL abbreviates emails in such a way that screams “why hello fellow kids” but from a snapshot of internet users in like 2011. It’s both a bit endearing and fucking MADDENING.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

“This world is too dangerous and too beautiful for anything but love.”
Every week of late, our priest has begun his closing blessing with that sentence, and it’s sticking with me a lot.
Anyway, back at the capitalist hamster wheel. Hope I can get some clients their means-tested benefits today!

The Democrats, looking at what Liverpool and the Bills achieved today, figure a swift kick to my scrotum is exactly what’s needed. And boy howdy does Schumer have pointy ass shoes.

Welcome to Derry episode 1: pretty sure this series might be a flop, but I did dig the “there’s nothing wrong with this country that can’t he fixed by what’s right about this country” line from the black pilot.
Also that cold open was WILD.

DOJ says well we'd say that's a hoax & not a threat
Gorsuch dripping w condescension goes I'm sure you would lmao

It's been *nine years* since Michelle Obama said "when they go low we go high." She said that at a Clinton convention where the Dem theme was that they were the responsible party and Trump was crazy.
They lost to Trump twice. The norms are gone. You want them back for your team? Too late!

Doing a fun little game where I count the number of U.S. Senators who got fewer votes in their last election than Mamdani did today. Zohran is about to double up Jim Justice (R-WV), for example.

Don’t anyone dare say the New York Times is mad. The Paper of Record would like to go ON record to say that is not at all mad, and any suggestion to the contrary is flatly disproven by the fact of said paper not being mad.
