There is no McTry. There is only:

Appropriately named company. I’d be suffering if I had to wear that.

Dear political campaigns- the only people who text me to ask for money and actually get any are my kids. So knock it off.

The 20degree temp drop confirms that the cricket is actually in the house and not just really close to the house. It’s still chirping like mad even though it’s the coldest outside it has been in weeks.

Ah, September. When watermelons are magically replaced with pumpkins.

I remember my sophmore English teacher mentioning her “crush” on this animated Batman. Her daughter was in the class below me.

Took the points. Good.

Penn State’s first play of the MattCampbellEra is a run up the middle

Why haven’t more people realized that all AI slop looks the same, and that’s what AI does? Just regurgitates something that has already been done.

There will never be another Dolly, but the world would be a much better place if we all tried to be.

Saw a bumper sticker today that said “Make Heaven Crowded.” I have question.

Looking at how ubiquitous the gambling industry is now, why would we expect anyone with the power to do so regulate AI because of potential addiction?

Unless it’s Massachusetts. “bang a left” and “shit the bed” may have entered my personal lexicon, but I kept my R’s firmly where they had always been.

Which horseman of the apocalypse is GTA6?

I don’t even want to read dystopian fiction, never mind live in it. This is 1pm, hazy with wildfire smoke.

I saw someone recommend tallow-based sunscreen online, and it’s taking a lot of restraint to not ask if it makes you feel like a French fry.

My dentist’s office just called before 8am to confirm an appointment for tomorrow. I’m up and about, but still not a fan.

Call me crazy, but I think having a Nazi tattoo is a red flag! My latest on @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/if-...

“Spoke to” is different than “spoke with”

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

They hired the folks from Glasgow who did that Willy Wonka fiasco, didn’t they?

I thought the life/death status of Mary at the end of her time on Earth was one of those officially unresolved things. Though I’m not an expert, and wouldn’t want to make Assumptions.

My high schooler occasionally listens to Eurodance and has made my kitchen sound like a late 90s frat party with a DJ.

Must feel so amazing right now to be a Vietnamese man in NYC named Nicks Nguyen and hearing the whole city chant your name

I want to ask if the purple Oreos have been seen locally, but I also want to actually purchase purple Oreos, so sometimes it is counter intuitive.

Instagram: makes me feel bad about myself Facebook: makes me feel bad about my neighbors Bluesky: makes me feel bad about everything else in the world

These are better than they have any right to be. Reminds me of the pink popcorn from when I was a kid.

Ah, yes. Lawn Mower ft. Leaf Blower. The song of the summer.

Is, is big hair finally getting its comeback?!?! I saw a few young women with what I would describe as *almost* Farrah Faucet hair. Makes me long for the good old days where I spent quality time with my curling iron and Aquanet.

Start watching one Kdrama about a mushroom farmer on my phone, and suddenly my FB feed is full of mushroom seeding kit ads. I hate mushrooms.

If the historical inaccuracies are egregious enough, I’m sure the gods of Olympus will let their displeasure be known.

Can I just go sleep for a week until whatever ratcheted my allergies up to 11 stops blooming? Not like I’m that useful at the moment anyway.

Can’t help but feel that our testing culture in secondary ed greatly reduces learning time. Between AP testing and state graduation requirement tests, my high schoolers are basically done, with almost a month left on the academic calendar.

I spent 3 hours with 10 13yo boys at my son’s birthday party, then I came home to a house smelling of chocolate. When I asked why, my 15 yo daughter said well, tomorrow is Mother’s Day and trailed off and that was all I needed to hear. ♥️

If you ever see me posting on social media about planning a cruise, it’s actually code that I am in peril.

They would never get out of Worcester.

Conscience. I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh. And then this word. ⬆️

I switched to Leuchtturm1917 a few years ago, if you’re looking for an alternative.

Oceanographers from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa discovered the answer to how species diversity can be so vast and sustained in a seemingly homogeneous environment like the open ocean. 🌊
