JD Vance killed the pope

All the news media posting about "how the new pope is selected" like we didn't see conclave

Pam wearing a nursing cover in her hospital room is insane

Happy Easter

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

There are apparently going to be protests along the boston marathon. I saw someone say how that's so unfair to the runners, but you have to understand what people who run boston are like...

Chili drawing on dot matrix printer paper is such a cute detail.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

STLV is probably making more babies happen than this freak show

I should probably get actual essentials and not the 12 sticks of kerrygold that are now in my freezer

and there is more of this for democrats to do! demand to see the other people renditioned to this prison! conduct on camera interviews with people who have lost social security, veterans benefits and medical care because of DOGE, hold rallies against the administration’s lawlessness!

Is bluesky doing the tik tok thing where they have you unfollow people. I was definitely following her before

I just wanted everyone to see my favorite emoji of all time I discovered today. Stacked witch

Kindergartner is not allowed to play videogames right now. So he made this.

Watched an Osprey flying around near the herring run brook. He would sort of glide and hover like a gull. Haven't seen any fish yet.

every fucking coward who voted for rfk's confirmation should be publicly shamed every time they show their worthless faces. I don't think this level of fury is really productive in any way but I'm acknowledging it

Good news, this works for 40, too. I think gen z calling millenials cringe fully helped me happily accept being old and it wasn't a big deal.

It's funny how you will think of some of a bands albums as their old stuff and then other ones as "their new stuff". Then you go to college, get a job, have a family, and the green album is old enough to rent a car.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

My kids graduated from high school in a car. It was 2020 and the early months of the pandemic. It was Trump 1.0. They now emerge into their post college lives in the midst of total chaos. The dissolution of our democracy. It is Trump 2.0. Damn this isn’t what I want for them. #MomSky

Given how little he sees us actually use a phone as a phone, it's impressive that the baby is in his "everything is a phone" stage

Someone in my neighborhood has a giant bunny. It hopped into the bay view window and watched us go by on our walk. Serious pet envy

Officially done pumping! The number in the middle is my final hours on this pump alone. 325! Thank you for your service blue spectra 🫡

the classic burger king chicken sandwich — the long boy — is underrated in the fast food chicken sandwich game

Once again, I am in love with the illustrations in this old golden book. Ollie asked me to read it. The illustrator loved babies so much.

I say this as someone whose first concert was the mighty mighty bosstones on boston City Hall Plaza. I also just realized it's "I've never had to COMMA knock on wood"

Baby's asleep, the boys are at the hardware store. Time to read 5 pages of my book before he wakes up.

I went to a 40th birthday party of a friend and had so much fun. Caught up with some old friends, ate good food, danced with people I just met. I am happy I got to do that without having to HAVE a party of my own.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

He was really excited to try to make mcdonalds french fries in minecraft but it just makes a baked potato. Also he loved the movie!

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

Aw fuck I didn't think about Elon musk for like a whole day

So, yeah. According to the Atlantic article (link below), it was RFK Jr. who revealed to the public the full name of the 8-year-old girl who died from measles, without the parents’ permission or even awareness. He also posted photos of the family at their child’s funeral without their knowledge.
