More than anything, I’m struck by the laziness of this exchange. “The Chinese are spying on moms because they want to undermine our values” is post-9/11 levels of intellectual incuriosity, and holds up to scrutiny about as well
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine

HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

One Battle After Another was great but I think we need a moratorium on “American Girl” needledrops. Find some other song to convey a female character’s aspirational hopefulness or we’re going to have another “Don’t Stop Believin’” situation on our hands

Opinions vary, but objectively speaking the hardest part of parenting is when you make your child a perfect grilled cheese and they hem and haw until it’s too cold to enjoy, ultimately eating zero bites

Listening to this song just now, I was suddenly struck by how much Isaac Brock sounds like Homestar Runner, and now I'm not sure I can ever listen to Modest Mouse the same way again

I understand there are more pressing issues but just putting a word in now, there needs to be an approvals process for celebrity-authored children’s books. I should not be ambushed at the library by Jamie Lee Curtis’s take on the power of imagination

the most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

I may have accidentally radicalized my four year old against corporate America. We had a can of whipped cream that ran out yesterday, way earlier than it should’ve based on its size. So I explained to him that sometimes companies will put food in a bigger container to look like you’re getting more,

Not the most important thing here but as a fellow balding man, I can spot a man in denial from a mile away. It’s not working out man, you look like a two year old, you gotta just cut it short and be done with it. Also don’t try to fuck teenagers, can’t be doing that
