Parenting update: thinking vertically, I think we found safe locations for almost all of our decorations. Sadly, the tree had to be taken into protective custody 😔

This is, in fact, very bad, but if we want to actually stop the atrocities we need to understand maga not as an aberration, but a slight evolution if not the historical norm.

Our son is simply a demon and we're just doing the good omens "you could probably avert the apocalypse if the antichrist was raised by loving parents." We've known this since the 20 week ultrasound.

I bought a camping toilet (glorified bucket) because our only bathroom is gonna be out of commission for 2-3 days next month, and it came with this sticker.

Like thanks...? Are you trying to tell me to eat more fiber? Be more hydrated? This is a weird ass message from a literal shitbucket.

It's WILD to me how many readers seem to give up on books, or at the very least get frustrated, if they have to wait until something odd is explained or, god forbid, sit with the work to understand authorial intent. It really is just this tweet:

So I've had a mystery plant growing in my yard all summer. According to the internet, its probably sorghum.

I have no idea how I got into my yard?

But it seems to be thriving there so im gonna see if I can harvest it when it's ready and plant more next year.

AS OF August 10th, this bill, along with KOSA have only been introduced and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It may or may not ever make it out of committee. Unless one of the following is your senator, your energy may be better spent elsewhere for now:

Very little in my life has been as liberating as accepting I have terrible taste. Once you let this meme into your heart, the world becomes much better:
