Keep telling me college football is dying. I can't hear you over the roar of Wyoming vs. Air Force under the Friday night lights airing live on the CW.

"all fish are the same shape" is a 10/10 Dad Take and you gotta respect the gumption

HulloThere@jethroreading32.bsky.social

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Observed labor day by going to a grocery store with only self-checkout and stealing a bunch of stuff at the register. Score one for the workers!

Ok so it's called "fantasy football" but all I wanted to do was draft Gandolf the Gray at quarterback and suddenly I'm being asked calmly but firmly to leave the buffalo wild wings

I've been trying all these sea captain themed deodorants but none of them are giving me the full dead fish smell I'm really after. Just trying to give the ladies what they want, you know?

No penalty for this and also a goal taken off the board previously. I'm glad Congo ended up pulling it out because the ref was hosing them big time

Under President Trump, more federal attention and support has gone towards anti-abortion Christian centers. A watchdog group says many of them mislead patients with promises to "rule out" ectopic pregnancies. n.pr/4oLFseJ

I need a polite/professional way to address people in my office using my profile picture for ai generated nonsense. I don't care if it's a fun little joke or if you need to put me in a group photo for the website or whatever. Please do not feed my face to the big hungry monster!

All the suburban suckers at work are talking about driving around looking for the best gas prices while I, a savvy lifelong Detroiter, simply continue to patronize the one gas station in my neighbors that I'm reasonably confident won't steal my credit card info 🧠🧠😤

Devasted to find that the crotch on my favorite sweatpants has blown out. The prognosis is these bad boys may only have several more years of life left in them.

What I come back to as a parent thinking about my kids' screentime is the opportunity cost - "what would they be doing otherwise?". An hour (or 2?) at school is probably fine. But if they are on the Chromebook all day, then there are all kinds of learning that they aren't getting the chance to do.

Four states have recently passed legislation to limit teaching and assessments via screens for students. So has the United States' second-largest school district. n.pr/4n99vMG

When a woodpecker is pecking it actually tickles the tree. The pecking is too loud, or else you'd be able to hear the tree going "tee hee hee tee hee hee".

I think they actually planned the Venezuela thing and the Iran thing together. Thought they would get control of the Venezuelan oil, which would reduce the impact of attacking Iranian oil. And even though no one at any point expressed interest in Venezuelan oil they just kept going along with it.

Me: I don't know if you've seen the news but we're going to have to think about how to talk to our kids about this Wife: you mean the increasingly spiraling war our government started for no reason? Me: no, worse

"oh and interpreting the blinking lights will help users diagnose and fix connectivity problems, right?" Inventer of the internet modem: "lol"

Due to a poor decision at indoor soccer I have a big scrape on my back upper thigh. It's not too bad really. I expect it will heal just in time for me to die from all the toilet seat diseases I am now exposed to.

The acoustics in an ice arena are universally awful and it's for that reason I'm declaring that figure skating will probably peter out as a sport pretty shortly
