Cook food with your kids. Start when they’re young and don’t worry about the mess. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, follow recipes but also encourage them to experiment. If you don’t know how to cook, learn together. It’s a wonderful time with your kids and an endlessly valuable life skill.

Sidewalk Diamonds is playing tonight as part of Stern Stock, at Surly Beer Garden all afternoon/evening. No cover! A beautiful day for outdoor live music! www.sternstock.com

Well that Angine de Poutrine presale went fast

Someone should open a skate park next to an AutoZone and call it Manual Zone

If you're wondering how bonkers EV sales are right now i filled out an "i'm interested" form on a dealer site and within 90 seconds had 2 texts and a phone call.

Double the taxes you're supposed to pay, and that would help a lot of folks

"As all rivers are lost in the sea, which shows no sign of their presence, so will all peoples be lost in the widening confines of our Republic, with an ocean-bound continent for its unparalleled expanse & one harmonious citizenship, where all are equal in rights, for its gentle and impartial sway."

Thank you @mnhousedfl.bsky.social This is how it is done. Use every ounce of your power to create a safer world for our kids. Speaker Demuth hold the vote.

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Wussy is so fucking good, y’all. I hope they tour up here again sometime soon.

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

Did they try lighting his breath on fire?

I've been unemployed for 16 months after a mass layoff. I'm reaching the limits of my resources and need your help to find a full-time job. My background is 20+ years in editing/communications, but I'm open to any type of work where I can use my skills. Please share and/or reach out with leads!

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

One of the major planks in the Democratic platform that they should be loudly running on is “The Republicans are racist pieces of shit.“

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

This is a masterpiece, even by Bouie’s extraordinarily high standard. youtu.be/SRzS61buXkQ?...

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

weird they were never like “we have more guns than people now, 2A was too successful and no longer needed.”

As a teaser for our Saturday afternoon show at the White Squirrel (thanks to Creekside Ruffians and Access Otherwise), here's a song from our set at Barely Brothers last month:

Why has our country fallen so far? Because a major political party built its brand on constant outrageous lying.

The idea of bringing back indoor smoking is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. It would kill restaurants and bars for good, literally not even smokers want it back.

It’s going to be a special show: we’re playing 50% more cover songs than we’ve ever played before.

Oh hey again, you should think about swinging by the White Squirrel to check this out next weekend! All three bands are great! We’ve got some fun surprises lined up!

I think the biggest adjustment for me with the change to an induction stove is that when something boils it’ll keep going and when it boils over, it doesn’t put the fire out like a gas stove. On the other hand, you can mop up the mess while things are still cooking and not miss a beat. Wild.

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

This Saturday May 2: Sidewalk Diamonds will be at the White Squirrel, rocking an afternoon set along with Creekside Ruffians and Slowburn. We have more summer shows at 331, Pilllar and more! Get on the mailing list and stay up to date. www.sidewalkdiamonds.com

Here's a goddamn win and thank you to many people for bringing it to my attention: 988 works. We have more people still with us because of it. I'm glad they're here and I'm glad you're here. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/s...

I don’t remember what my paper route paid, but the next job was at a restaurant: $2.10/hour plus a split of tips, or $3.65/hour for washing dishes.

We’re starting Werner Hertzog’s Heart of Glass, I look away for 2-3 full minutes and the guy is still crouched in a field. I ask my wife if I missed anything and she just laughs.

Turf Club in October, this is going to be a great show

ME: So who has issues with the current direction of the Vatican? WELLS: Protestants. ME: Okay I’m going to ask again and I want you to say that word very slowly.

Please take a moment for a bit of comedy genius.

There are two bills to have the state bear these costs, but they are looking less & less likely to pass. So, call your state senator & urge support of SF4612, particularly if they are on the Senate Finance Committee who hears the bill Thursday. Unless you want property taxes to skyrocket. Fin(4)

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

Sorting through and tossing old photos is an emotionally fraught project but also easier than you'd think because a lot of photos are objectively dogshit.

One of the best things about being up too early on a Saturday is catching the overnight blues marathon on KBEM Jazz88
