#dropoff
I was reminded of this conversation today as for 2 years I’ve been ‘enlivening’ school dropoff by shouting Big Tree! every time we pass one particularly large yew. Small has never not rolled her eyes, but today I was distracted when we passed and she seemed genuinely weirded out it hadn’t happened 🤷‍♀️

There are a couple on the roads up here, but the first one I saw up close was at the city dump next to the recycling dropoff bin.

Appropriate.

And yeah, it's quite the ugly thing in-person and up close.

It's ugly at a distance, too.

YEAH i was talking to 8yo about this today when we were walking to do dropoff support, like. "Someday a young person will ask you what it was like to be alive during this, and you can tell them what you experienced, and also what you saw other people have to endure, and what you did to help"

Its not "Political identity". Right wing propaganda has infected the minds of republicans.

“Since the pandemic, we’ve seen a really big dropoff among Republicans”
Yep. Political identity now THE key variable...

"About 83% of people who identified as Republicans or leaning Republican said they don’t want to get the shot, compared to 44% of Democrats."

SOMEONE ON A DOORDASH GROUP GOT ONE OF THESE TO POINT AT ORDERS ON PEOPLE'S DOORSTEPS WHILE TAKING PHOTOS AFTER DROPOFF AND I CAN'T BREATHE, HELP

Figured baggage dropoff and security check would take close to an hour but took me less than 5 minutes….

Now at gate very early so do I buy a $7 candy bar or a $30 beer?

the only radio station I ever listen to does an annual run through of the entire Beatles catalogue. what this means for me is that once a year during preschool pickup I hear like side one track one of the White Album but at dropoff it's a b-side from like 1963 called Holding Hands With A Teen

Saw the same orange cat walking to and from rooty's daycare dropoff. What a day

Waymo robots routinely exploit the car merge portion of protected bikelanes approaching intersections for pickup and dropoff. Many examples, even a video from a Waymo of another Waymo doing it right by the South Park Blue Bottle in SF, where they've done it repeatedly:

I only started recording long after the dropoff because I wanted evidence of the ridiculous fucking situation I was in.

Ooh! I'm not doing daycare dropoff tomorrow, I can sleep in!

Kid proceeds to wake up at 5am and goes to wake me up.

I turn on the TV for kid so I can go back to sleep for another hour (I have the remote).

Kid cries because I have to be awake.

I watch dinosaurs on TV with blurry eyes.

do people use this for Seahawks games too, or is there an entire other parking lot like this that sits empty most of the time?

Probably worth saying for people who’ve seen the first film but not the stage show, too. And I could see a dropoff hitting a bit different when the two halves aren’t watched as a package deal?

My wife is preschool PTO chair and organized a food drive (something she plans to do quarterly now) along with the regular events they organize, due to worries about the SNAP shutdown. We did a dropoff this morning of almost everything we collected (we still have two locations to do a pickup from)

With catchers, wondering if there's a point on that list where there's a steep dropoff. It seems that maybe 25% of teams have black hole at catcher. So is Realmuto's 19th closer to being #15 (league average) or #24, if that makes sense?

Point is that JT is no All-Star, but helps us avoid the void

Oregon’s producer-funded recycling program offers cities a road map for cleaner waste streams
Read the full story at Smart Cities Dive. Oregon has opened the first of its new recycling dropoff centers as part of the state’s ongoing rollout of its extended producer responsibility for packaging program. The program requires the state to offer these free, producer-funded drop-off sites, dubbed RecycleOn Centers. These depots are for residents to drop off what CAA considers “tricky-to-sort materials” that can’t go in curbside recycling but can still be recycled in the state.

For me? It doesn't like yt, and it doesn't like fb. It lags all over the place in ways chrome doesn't.
Used to be lean, fast, easy. No idea what caused the dropoff.

I think the best part about Palia is just running around with the boyfriend doing hunting parties massacring the local wildlife

I love the arrows' dropoff, it feels soooo good to land a distant shot

I love our school bus too. The driver is soo good. He waits and makes sure the kids make it safely across the street towards our house before turning off the red lights and putting down the paddle. Also I don't have to deal with the shirtshow of school pickup and dropoff.

if you're waiting for some big dramatic "hide the Frank family in your attic" moment? You gotta start smaller.

think about how to get those kids to school

GUARD THOSE SCHOOLS

have people watching during pickup and dropoff and at recess if possible

landscapers doing work? GUARD THE SCHOOL

What, drive through pardons for pedophiles and crypto scammers, or a dropoff for bribes perhaps? Wouldn't surprise me.
November 18, 2025 at 1:57 PM
Did… one of the male teachers at dropoff just wink at me???
November 18, 2025 at 1:05 PM
This "noise cancelling earbuds" thing is freakishly good.

It's not that I can't hear the background noise on the bus, but the dropoff the instant it switched on is remarkable.

Given the dropoff when our first choice fullbacks are out, I'd probably be lookin there first.

I think individually, Burn and Trippier are alright and offer something, but the disruption to our patterns when both Tino and Hall are out is concerning.
