I accidentally “watched” a bass fishing tournament for 6 hours and it’s been the most Zen thing I’ve ever seen.

I flew in the smoking section from Seattle to Tokyo when I was 10 because my mom had buddy passes. I played chess with a Japanese man with limited English and it’s one of my fondest and stinky memories. The smell of a cigarette being lit always makes me smile.

Bingo! I use ChatGPT for work emails 100% because I never learned to write for me. I’m writing for you to read and understand what I want. I can tell ChatGPT want I want to say and make it come out in the form I was taught to write!

Ha! You got me there! It might not be the dye, in fact I think it's the Sodium Bmetabisulphite that binds the dyes because it's also triggered by some baked goods, but the foods with the dye are 95% of the problem and fix the dyes and it fixes the kids and I'm happy!

You clearly have never been to a swim meet with and with out dye! 😜
This is a behavioral response I can trigger in certain kids when I give them dye. It does not affect all kids. But the ones it does, it does! It’s fact in Europe and the rest of the world.

People think I’m nuts because I can look at a kid under 10 years old and tell if they’ve had dye that day. It’s a real thing. I’m sorry these guys are the ones bringing it to light bc they’ll just mess it up. Sucks for the kids out there.

And it sucks for the kids that have the sensitivity because the smallest amount ruins the kid for the day. I compare it to a tab of acid. One little hit and you’re on dye all day.
BUT not all kids have it. My daughter was not sensitive to it at all. She could ingest it with no changes.

I’m hardcore an anti-dye dad because of my experience with seeing some kids go ape shit wild on it. The kids it affects the most are the ones already struggling with ADHD like symptoms so lab tests from random scientists observations will never pick this up at scale. It’s a thing and it’s real.

There is only one answer to this question- “Juan García Abrego needs to stand before a US Judge to decide his fate.”

It’s not a tariff. It’s a national sales tax. It’s “9-9-9” rebranded.

Or classism. My daughter was in the NICU for 6 weeks next to private care. Everyday a mom and dad would pick up a baby with bags from the high end stores at Phipps. That was 12 years ago and it left an impression on everyone who visited.
We need a way to a separate the abuse from the racism.

I fear the edge cases are driving the demand to suspend birthright citizenship.
Finding a way to address the edge cases might address the root concern and prevent the stripping of birthright citizenship from the constitution.
I do not know how know how to write or apply that kind of distinction.

I'm going to lose my liberal card for asking:
How we keep birthright citizenship but prevent it from being abused by the wealthy foreigners who come over to birth their heirs of generational wealth, bypassing the immigration system?
It happens more than it should and it should be addressed.

I don't know what the cause is, but it's 100% the fault of Gen X.

I like when you break the 4th wall. It's the difference between engagement bait and posting interesting content to share.

I drunkenly bought some fancy “black” work shoes for $29 thinking I scored. I wore them in the sun once and they were fucking purple.
For a year, I rocked undeniably purple shoes and pretended they were black. When people asked: Are they purple?
Idk, wtf do you think?
Seriously?
wtf do you think?

I wish I could go for a bike in Georgia. The sun is too low and it dangerous. Are the bike paths in Alaska are lit and rideable in the dark?

This is the way! If the media’s “just askin’ questions” let’s go give them the correct answers.
