People in these replies saying of course babies are annoying but you gotta be reasonable. TBH I don’t think babies on airplanes are annoying. I hate flying and I cry vicariously through those sweet dears. Complainers are doing adult versions of baby crying, but more annoyingly.

Remember, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally audiobooks.

Following up yesterday's conversation with this...

Today everybody is suddenly an expert in... [spins wheel] AIRSHOW SAFETY!

I predict that the "don't trust the government" types out there will twist themselves to somehow not support this. Transparency & accountability are absolutely essential in a free society. That goes for the free market, and it especially goes for government employees with power over life and death.

Just thinking about Harry Harlow for no reason today. Completely unrelated, "Rural NY School District Will Be One of First to Bring Humanoid Robot Into Classroom" nysfocus.com/2026/07/14/n...

Just look at this Andre-the-Giant-lookin' car...

I see an awful lot of "STUDENT DRIVER" bumper stickers on cars that are not being driven by student drivers, I just now realized it's probably a band name. And that's a good one, wish I'd thought of it first.

Tonight's HR derby is exactly how it should be, except that my guy lost and MLB was horrible for having it broadcast on Netflix. But having the contest come down to the last pitch, and having the last round be two guys who we can all like and cheer for - that's fun.

We've spent the summer fostering some dogs, and every single day the Chiweenie wants to smell my coffee. I always let him take a sniff, and he always backs away in a panic. It's an interesting daily ritual we have going on.

Gonna need more champagne

Do they still make pump toothpaste or was that just a 90s thing?

idk if this is a flex but I taught my oldest to drive without GPS and am currently doing the same with the youngest. When they get lost I respond in memes and they navigate fine from that. The oldest navigates like a pro, GPS is only his guide. So yeah, I definitely feel like this is a flex.

First, yes, the sports betting is a stain on every sport. Second, when I read the article I kept hoping for some possibility that this was an AI vid or something but no, that's not the case. I know better than to like a professional athlete, but I did it anyway. Damn.

Headroommaxxing over here

Today Im in trouble for saying that even my swim trunks have multiple pockets.

My dogs absolutely abide by the “If you see something, say something” policy.

According to my sources, Ivan Kuznetsov & Angelina Nikolau flew a banner on the Empire State Building with the following message: "The power of love is a curious thing, Make a one man weep, make another man sing, Change a hawk to a little white dove, More than a feeling, that's the power of love."

Wait, the Lefebvrians are behind the SXSW split?? I'm confused how that happened.

John Kruk just asked Christina Koch to autograph a baseball, I love that they had her on the broadcast to talk about being an astronaut. #phillies

Excellent, this is absolutely the outfit we need to be talking about. Most men wear something like this to work, and need to consider short pants with their linen suit. Finger on the pulse, Bloomberg.

This is such an important point. Of course, I want competent, boring people in most positions of power. But that's not who the electorate votes for. Arguably, the boring candidate won in 2020 and 1988. (This thread was about how the Democratic Party did not win marriage equality, activists did.)

The Phillies’ pitcher Backhus looks like Tre Turner impersonating Zack Wheeler.

If this were a proper country there would be at least a quarter million people at the reflecting pool.

If some bug would invent a way to bite people without making it itch, that bug would make millions of dollars.

There is no single “real America”. Our common stories occur in the inner city, in small towns, on farms and on the open plains. They always have. And suburbs were added several generations ago. It’s ALL part of “real America”. I'm no Knicks fan, but this celebration is beautifully American.

Will I live to see another BIPOC POTUS?

"I'm all thumbs" should mean "I'm really good at typing on a phone".

I happen to enjoy talking about sports history while it is being made. I'm not one of those people who gets into the superstitions, like not talking about a streak or a no-hitter or the like. Cristopher Sánchez is a gem of a pitcher.

You know what they say. When one door closes, two doors open. Hail Hydra.

Just reading some fiction, you can’t make this stuff up.

Just thinking back to when American conservatives would read (and agree with, lionize) Allan Bloom.

Irony is dead

In light of the news about #Fender guitars, this might be a great time to remind people that there are some fantastic guitars that are not shaped like strats. For example, I really enjoy my #Gretch Electromatic. Of course this is not a strat replacement. It's not meant to be.

Sand battery? I love it.

Spending money not authorized by Congress is not "conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority." If he does this, Congress should hold him personally liable to repay the funds.

What if Star Wars without war? I call it: Star Peace.

Teachers, you heard the Congresswoman. Please explain propaganda to your students.

"Exiled"? It was a ship that was simultaneously burning and sinking. It holds no value for me and I wouldn't go back. Let's be clear, I can go back and I choose not to - the term for that is not "exiled".

Playing "The Final Countdown" (Europe, 1986) as the students enter the exam room. I love that they know this song.

Teachers, you heard the Congresswoman. Please explain propaganda to your students.

Happy Birthday, Stevie. youtu.be/RcVZfJO01NI?...

Post your warning sign.

Average Elon tweet be like: "Wow" or sometimes "🎯"

How is it possible that we still can't get the Apple Watch face to be Dick Tracy themed?

This seems like a great time to remind everybody to invest in AI corporations. #CanvasLMS

Canvas worldwide crash at the end of our first day of final exams? #CanvasLMS
