This thing where I'm blown up with hundreds of texts trying to raise money for Dem candidates on the other side of the country, but not getting any direct communication from my local ones, doesn't seem like the best use of voter rolls

may or may not be in a feud with the mailman. Not sure. All depends on whether my interpretation of the passiveaggressiveness of how he's putting the mail in the box is correct

Wife and I found out our sons school stops being nut free once you hit first grade (which he just entered) so now our lunch cabinet looks like George Washington Carver won supermarket sweep

I had to drive from Cleveland to Harrisburg, PA today and Google Maps decided to take me here on nothing but back road, two lane highways. I hope that company is ground into dust by its bad data center investments, good lord

Checking for mail because you woke up earlier than everyone else at the house and need an address to give the can company

The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505

I see how many times I can roll the boulder up the hill in a day, and then I try to beat that record!

Facebook slop farms have started making absolutely terrible AI Calvin and Hobbes strips and it may be the thing that pushes me over the edge to active data center protest

this shit is Walter White level purity for a Bluesky post

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

Dude on Facebook snitch tagged air conditioning 😭

“Neighbor’s home improvement project is a disaster” is a universal source of joy and the whole country gets to get it on it

Harper hitting a cycle before the sixth inning lmao

Birthday cake for my son's birthday got away from me a little bit this year 😅 Happy with how it turned out, though! 🍽️🍜

Fellas is it gay to stare longingly at the male form

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

if a batter challenges a ball-strike call and gets it wrong, i think the umpire should be allowed to be a little shitty about it

a good name for a horse would be Kris Klipclopperston

You know at least one of those attendees had a bag of coke in their checked cost pocket and is absolutely *panicked* right now lol

"What appears to be an AI generated image"

Why are restaurants started from successful food trucks just as slow as the food truck

Just amazing that Melania did a legit "my not involved in human trafficking shirt" announcement from a White House lectern

Thank you, Jacob-from-15-years-ago, for this reminder of the best day of the year

Even though I work remote, several states away, I still get the company emails telling me what catering company is handling lunch each day. Tomorrow it's a company called "Party Naanstop" and I might have to jump on a plane.

Triple view World Baseball Classic on a Sunday afternoon and weather warm enough to keep the windows open. Can't beat it

chattin' with my wife while she's over visiting her mom

I'd give anything to find a can of these in a thrift store and just put them in an unlabeled bowl in the office kitchen

At the airport for a 6 AM flight and TSA just came in the PA to say someone dropped their flask lol

It takes a five year-old roughly an hour and 15 minutes to count to 700. Guess how I know

Parenting is endlessly rewarding. You can get such a feeling of accomplishment from doing things like finally organizing a bunch of children's puzzles, and then ten minutes later they give you the chance to have that feeling all over again

Hell of a quote in this WaPo article on tech jobs

First they came for Don Lemon And I said "Aw, man, now I gotta be a vocal and outraged supporter of *this* guy of all people"?

Monday off school and then four 2-hr delays in a row. It's gonna take three months to get this kid's sleep schedule back on track 🫤

‬I know it wouldn't be deserved and would destroy the credibility of the Nobel committee, but it would be hilarious if they'd give the Peace Prize to Obama again. Until Trump nuked Norway. But, still 11:10 AM · Jan 19, 2026 Everybody can rep ly

Amazing what ancient people built even though they were all skeletons

Me: *Painstakingly sets up 2 year-old's wooden trains in a track with switches, signals, and water towers* 2yo: *Immediately uses the water tower as a Godzilla stand-in and destroys the countryside* Pretty sure he salted the wells

Showing the kids the classics

I'll tell you what the answer isn't: the fried chicken livers I got from a muffler shop in rural NC near the Virginia border

Daniel Tiger's Dad is singing a whole song that pretty much just tells Daniel to leave him be so he can get some work done lol

Nearly six years since people began working from home and it appears "getting the presentation view of PowerPoint to show on screen" is still an unsolvable mystery for people
