We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”
Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Imagine being so triggered by a woman who brings other women joy and is not operating the camera going to her boyfriend’s football game. The misogyny is so blatant. I’m done apologizing for things that bring me joy.

I wasn’t expecting Nazi salutes on day 1, but I guess my naivety is still alive and well. We used to say This Is Not Normal. But apparently, it is.

Regarding the idea of the officials "rigging" games for the Chiefs, the following things *are* true.
1) More penalties are generally called on road teams. I believe this is true in all sports.
2) Sometimes, superstars get the benefit of the doubt. Again, in all sports.
Neither is Chiefs-specific.

Dear @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com ,
Maybe you’re losing readership because you can’t be bothered to call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute.

The absolute lack of humanity in the comments of every news post re: the LA fires is a new low. Apparently everyone is a fire expert now.

My kid (who will not be posted publicly going forward) plays on a mites hockey team, and tonight we took him to Military Appreciation Night at the SD Gulls, after which we all got to skate with the players and Gulliver. It was pretty much peak 6 year old happiness. Here’s me also enjoying it.

It’s Apple Harvest Cake season, a little tradition I’ve carried over from my grandmother and mother. Please enjoy this recipe. I add a tsp of cinnamon, and half a tsp each of ground cloves and nutmeg. The freeze beautifully and are perfect with coffee and fighting the patriarchy.
