I do not know why my child is licking the oven door, but she's not currently whining so I'm definitely not going to stop her.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I've recently taken up quilting with more rigor than the simple squares I'd done before. I keep on thinking of all of those kids complaining in math class "when are we going to use this in real life?"
Fuckin' everything I do all day is math. Work, hobbies, parenting....

We could avoid like 60% of all discourse if we normalized dealing with our own discomfort instead of bullying other people to stop making us feel weird.
If you're so upset by art you don't like maybe you shouldn't be in a fandom that involves a huge spread of NSFW and kink content. Kink inherently involves consent and respect. Get over your Icks and come party when you're ready to be cool and adult.

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens.
Fixed it for you, NYT.

The massive explosion in use of satellite imagery by archaeologists has led to the discovery of hundreds of thousands of ancient sites and features across the world in the last 25 years, none of which were known about previously due to data resolution+coverage.

If you come upon two people having an argument and realize that one insists the other should drink a glass of diarrhea while that person refuses to do so, you are not a wise or righteous peacemaker for suggesting they just drink half a glass.

Cory Booker has been filibustering longer than JD Vance was in Greenland.
25 hours, 5 minutes.
And a call to action.
Go pee, Senator.

It's a scary time to be trans, but I still wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't wish I was cis. I gained so much wisdom by taking the scenic route to my gender. Bigots hate us because our knowledge is power, and they can only thrive in ignorance.

An important twin milestone today: Baby B bit Baby A.
To be fair, A put her fingers directly into B's mouth. No aggression, just reflex, but many tears of betrayal were shed.

A man in the line outside HUD got fed up with waiting. He said to the others “I’m going to go kill Elon Musk!” and got a loud cheer. A few hours later, he returns. “Well, did you do it?” they ask. “Well, I went to go kill him,” the man responds, “but the line to do that was even longer!”
This morning, HUD instituted a policy of searching bags and putting everyone through a metal detector. By 8 a.m., employees had already been waiting in line for an hour, a HUD source says.
