I’m honestly baffled this doesn’t happen more often. The current media environment is disgraceful.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

While the GOP whines about "unqualified DEI hires" how do they explain this guy?

Note to all the single people out there looking for love: she didn’t marry me just for my looks.

Though it’s been a shitshow of a year, it’s been quite good for music. Amazing new albums by Los Campesinos, Japandroids, Jack White, Dan Boeckner, and Kendrick Lamar. Not the best year in music, but I’m more than happy with what’s come out.

The squirrels assassinated my fake owl I had on the deck for deterrence. Ripped its head off. Should I be worried?

Really looking forward to the upcoming alien enslavement because I’m kinda sick of humanity running the show

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO Daniel Penny is free after killing a man victim to the system. What of Luigi Mangione, who is suspected of killing a man symbolic of it?

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Rereading Hedges’ “Death of the Liberal Class.” I forgot how piercing and accurate a critique it was of the Democrats specifically. Scary to see where we go from here.

Is there a country song about it raining the day you needed to mow your lawn? That’s some real sad country shit right there.

Wife and I save screen time for when we really need it. Today is that day. Kids are happy and occupied after nap and that’s all that matters right now.

Gotta ask other dog people: What’s more gross? Picking up warm or cold dog shit with a normal poo bag. I know it doesn’t make much sense, but I can’t help but feel cold is so much worse. Not like fresh shit is a picnic, but ya know.

By the time I figure out the best way to simplify a recipe by substituting in supposedly simpler parts I’m honestly losing time unless I can make the exact same thing every other dinner for the next three months.

A friend gifted my oldest a large stuffed toy dog that is the exact same color as our real dog. It’s half the size of my real, 80lb dog and yet it freaks me the fuck out every time I see it where my dog normally isn’t. Doesn’t matter if I put it there or not. Always gets me.

I’m the last one standing in my family. 8:30 and the wife and kids are passed out from being sick. It’s my time to shine. I’ll be cleaning if anyone needs me.
