It wasn’t stunting? And now I’m really intrigued and will probably never know what happened
This gave me the opportunity to explain stunting to @stevefelix.com — format flip likely on the way — guess old radio tricks still work in 2025 (almost 26)

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

I was honestly surprised when I found out that you can’t just come home from your job and melt onto the couch for five hours because you have to manage a small crazy person with no self care/preservation skills. Every night.
Before you have kids, you intellectually understand they need to eat dinner every day. But you do not understand what this means. You can't. They need to eat dinner EVERY day

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:

I asked our daycare if a lot of kids dress up for Halloween and they told me they are not allowed to say the name of the holiday but if our family has a tradition of dressing up, our kid could come in costume. Huh? I have like five mins of brain power left today and I can’t use it on this statement

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

PSA if you’re in PA and want the new COVID vax: it’s still easy to get. CVS had some button to click when you make your appt to say that you’re “eligible” (the reasons are like… physical inactivity and a bunch of stuff that could be any American) and that’s it. No further questions asked.
