Dachau

We’re in the café at #DachauKZ waiting for our tour to start. The coffee machine is currently out of order. It’s refreshing to see everyone exhibit the appropriate amount of perspective.

Grüße aus München Greetings from Munich, everyone! We spent the better part of the day on trains from Lyon. One of these days I'll be all jaded about how easy it is to get around Europe by train... but today is not that day. We had a nice, leisurely breakfast, we took a tram to the TGV station, we…

I am officially « yay, I got socks! » years old. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve in Lyon Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! We had our big family celebration this evening (all three of us). Tomorrow, we'll eat leftovers and charcuterie. Our wooden Christmas tree (It does not suck to be me right about now). Lilian is still feeling sick, and even Kristian is a bit…

Make sure you watch all the way to the end! ❄️☃️❄️

Hot take: I actually liked North (probably because I was only 12 at the time).

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

This entire weekend

Sartre said that hell is other people. He died long before the advent of Best Buy. Where, when attempting to purchase anything, hell is the lack of people wearing blue polos.

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Our tiny little side street here in Lyon just erupted in cheers. Me: I’m guessing something good just happened in the futbol match. Ummm… yeah.

@isasaxonists.bsky.social I’m really sorry about your family emergency. 😞 I hope this baby bonnet I made with some leftover Sagittarius Satin yarn cheers you up a little.

Hot take: A Bar Song (Tipsy) is a Certified Bop™️, but Let It Burn is my favorite Shaboozey song.

DO NOT WANT.

This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster! Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer. He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵

It’s hard to escape the dawning realization that part of the goal of Google’s AI Overview is to simply eradicate the concept of anyone else having any kind of website at all. Why click on a link & explore when Google told you the answer & you didn’t know it was wrong?

This newsletter is the ne plus ultra of sports writing and pondering and being owned by your Gen Z kids! Check it out!

This is like playing Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Getting Back Together" at a wedding.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The #NoKings protest in Everett, MA today. As we marched, people were waving and cheering from their cars, houses, and businesses. ¡Si se puede!

Anyone in town for Infocomm feel like appropriating a lift and fixing a video wall? 😂

Omg it’s so cool that FSR is using one of my panel designs in their booth!

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

Casual use of the modesty paw is a top glamour model move.

I just saw someone refer to a Boomer-esque complaint made by a Gen-Xer as a "Hose water-ass complaint" and I feel like that one's gonna stick to my cohort until the day we all die.

How can you eat at a time like this? People are missing.

Conclave (2024)

a new PWHL Pope has been chosen

I stopped donating money to out of state candidates, because the SMS and email spam got so bad that I couldn’t stand the thought of my number ending up on another list. At this point I’m half convinced that the texts are a false flag operation. Right before filing deadlines, I get dozens of them.

So, the interim commanding officer of the aircraft carrier that keeps sending jets down into the oceans depths? He took over because the previous guy crashed into a merchant ship. The new guy is from outside Boston and his nickname is “Chowdah.” This really feels like a Simpsons episode.

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

MRW I hear about the Canadian election as an American.

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Hey @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social! I’m not a lesbian, but I do listen to @ifbookspod.bsky.social. 😂 PS. Let Them seems like a repackaging of the serenity prayer.

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

see, this is exactly what I’m talking about

Wow… just… wow. Basically, we’re plunging our economy into absolute chaos with a whole bunch of made up numbers.

All I’m saying is: if you come with an April Fools Day joke today, it better be clever as hell because I think we’re all pretty exhausted from being knocked sideways.

Pro-Tip: If you use T-Mobile, today is the day that you can get a free year of MLB.tv with their T-Life app.

Spoiler alert: prep time for my Girl Scouts ended up being almost two hours. 🤦‍♀️

I met with LJ’s home room teacher last night. At the end of our conversation, he said “thank you for advocating for your daughter.” What a powerful thing to say! It reassured me that we’re all on the same team.

Live your life so that at least one person loves you like Charles Leclerc loves his dog.

I just purchased a copy! 

Random thoughts that keep me awake at night: Did Tommy's union strike down at the docks ever get settled?
