My 9 year old is, somehow, going through a major Michael Jackson phase at the moment and keeps asking me *precisely* why I don't listen to his music. In the middle of trying to navigate this delicate conversation my 6-year-old walked in and asked me if I was alive during World War 2
It is 8.34am
Wait. So you’re telling me. That the SOCIALIST DID WHAT THE DIPSHIT MODERATE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR 25 FUCKING YEARS. IM SHOCKED I TELL YOU! SHOCKED!

we're really approaching a perfect storm of factors designed to drive up the costs of everything right now while simultaneously undermining the spending power of the global consumer economy. i'm not saying that to doom, it's not like nothing can be done, but we're looking at years of ramifications.
I've seen a lot of posts about how shitty the bomb was and folks, if someone makes a bomb that blows up when they want it to blow up they are automatically in the top like, 1% of bomb-guys
Fellow soldiers say the Army sergeant who detonated a homemade bomb packed into a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas could have done far more harm. Investigators are trying to figure out why he didn’t.
Picking up a dog on the way home from AZ, fully intend on making this year focused on spending time with my family, honing my skills at work, and my hobbies. I think it’s time for TikTok and instagram to die on my phone.
People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.
Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
Breaking News: The FDA approved use of the weight loss drug Zepbound for a common form of sleep apnea. It is the first drug authorized to treat the disorder.
David Zaslav, like so many other execs in creative industries and beyond, can’t imagine that something can be thriving and essential if it’s not growing exponentially forever.
Love Actually (2003) is a beloved Christmas classic but what many fans don’t realise is that the country it’s set in, “England”, wasn’t just made up for the film - it actually exists! It has a population of 69 million people and its chief export is gas turbines.

@aegies.bsky.social if you end up in San Diego for an event this year I tried a spot called Yesenia’s and had the best birria of my life. I tried a bite of my buddies CA burrito and questioned if I ordered the wrong thing.
@aegies.bsky.social@talkingorange.bsky.social this week my 6 month old had her first ambulance ride, and sitting in that ER I thought about what it would be like if she had to spend significant time in a hospital and felt so thankful for people who do streams for extra life. So thank you.
Let’s be clear: McArthy didn’t avoid the shutdown because he saw the light.
