Every day my son comes home from Pre-K (half day) and when we ask how it was he replies "it was longer than I thought!" Like, it's been two months buddy, at some point it's gotta be exactly as long as you thought it would be right?

Question for Amtrak aficionados: I'm looking to take a train from Pittsburgh to Boston later this year, and I've seen some online talk about trains that are standing room only. Should I book business class to guarantee a seat or take my chances in coach?

It's so easy to mock the "stomp, clap, hey" music of the 2010s but as far as I'm concerned every year around mid-September to October, albums by Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers still descend with the falling leaves, nestled in scarves and accompanied by apple pies and pumpkin spice lattes

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

in elementary school sometimes they used to tell u "make sure u do this on your own, dont have mommy write it for u". foolish. kids that used mommy freed up significant time for other goals! kids that dont use mommy will fall behind! give all your banking information & biometric data to mommy also

I have a pair of pants that I picked up from a thrift store from a few years ago (average length) and a pair that I bought from the same company this year (in a Tall) and the pants from a few years ago were longer than the tall pants from this year!!! 😮‍💨

My parents didn't really understand me (they were engineers, so nerdy too but we didn't overlap with our weirdness) but they celebrated it. When I was 6 I wanted to be a Deinonychus for Halloween and my dad papier-mache'd a mask for me! 🥹

OK, if you (like me) read Yesteryear and hated it and WANTED it to be so much better, then you need to read Our Sister's Keeper by Jasmine Holmes (like me) and absolutely revel in a book about the darkness behind misogynistic lies and the devastation that greed and oppression bring. You want a plot

They're calling it the most online take of all time

Can social media be addictive? @taylorlorenz.bsky.social says no. “You wanting to communicate and chat with your friends every day is not an addiction,” says Lorenz. “And to frame it that way is incredibly harmful and anti-science.”

social media is not "just wanting to communicate with your friends". And Taylor knows it. This is a deliberate denial of basic reality, and a large body of science on how algorithmic social media can harm kids in particular.
