It’s not a distraction they’re just fascist Hitler didn’t invade Poland to distract people, he invaded Poland because he wanted to occupy Poland Begging even good Democrats to call a spade a goddamn spade

Did anyone else never use their high school library for any reason whatsoever? I went to student council meetings there and dropped off a bunch of newspapers in the morning for $20/month (ha) and otherwise never used it.

The hack Trump has discovered is that if you escalate endlessly, at some point Democrats will stop escalating their response to you, because they’re scared of acknowledging what you are and what it obligates them to do. At that point you have total freedom to break any rule, do anything you want.

I rest my case

Class St John’s #sjubb

Layman household came to a unanimous decision that the new year really begins on Monday.

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

So I agree that this began with Limbaugh, talk radio, Fox News. Where I disagree is with the idea that it’s a result of some conspiracy of elites. They didn’t fully understand what the effects of these new outlets would be - the way it would create a second reality that people could live inside.

Again, they’re fundamentally authoritarian right down to their core: they believe you’re not even allowed to want to know what they’re doing. We’re not citizens, we’re subjects, and our duty is to simply trust that our betters have this well in hand.

Babies first war

Andie just came over to me on the couch where I’m sitting with the sleeping baby. She said “we just had whip cream there’s no more for you. We can get more when we go to the grocery store. Mom we going to the grocery store today? We gonna get more for you!

Up with the baby overnight and now just watching people wake up to the news one by one

Random 5:14 AM thought. How much more bold and brash will ICE become now?

How many wars has Trump really ended? We asked four Mar-a-Lago club members seeking presidential pardons.

Have there been any flags in this Indiana Alabama game? Loving the flow.

Devon 10 minutes after she falls asleep

Never forget #topofthefeedafter10days

Wasn’t up at midnight but I’ve been up since 12:20 😆

Listened to a recording of Richard Feynman for the first time ever and it’s hilarious to hear that New York accent on a world class physicist. Reminded me of Art History freshman year, when a kid with a solid Boston accent raised his hand to discuss Michelangelo - like wut!

6:45 on New Year’s Eve means the Layman family is watching a replay of London’s 2025 celebration 🤣

I see your ‘how many books did you read this year’ And raise you ‘how many kids did you have this year’ 0,1 🤣

New Year’s Eve so I’m green on Teams and checking out the Chili’s menu on the work comp. Serious recommendations (for dinner) welcome!

Yes your child sleeps through the night at 3 months. My child will head butt them in youth soccer because she only knows violence 😆

Recent thread on threads where someone asked if people would wake a sleeping baby to change them or wait until they woke up And all the people playing the game on easy chimed in that they’d simply change the baby without waking them up 🤦‍♂️

I miss the Biden labor market, sorry, I liked making a lot of money.

@bsky.app stop showing me posts from 8 days ago challenge

In 2026 let’s stop pretending republicans are patriots

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.

First few months of a baby’s life must be what the authors of the Bible were thinking of when they created the idea of purgatory. That or hell 😂

Feels like is 19 degrees below actual cuz of the wind 👀

A lot of you didn’t watch the 1993 classic, Gettysburg, 150 times growing up and it shows.

Majority of Macy’s quarterly profit is overdue fees from our $19 purchase 4 months ago … 🙄

It’s wild to live in a timeline where the richest and most famous tech entrepreneur on the planet also posts some of the dumbest sh!t you’ve ever seen on social media. Like criticizing the pick for head of the Fire Department of New York without doing an iota of research. Was MechaHitler down?

If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.

Hot take: Mark Cuban would be a strong VP candidate in 28

Bottle washer is the best money we ever spent. Just fyi

Devon was just going nuts. I assumed it was because she can’t wait for the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl to start. Jenn said she wants milk. Gave her milk and she calmed down. But I also just turned on the game. So I guess we’ll never know. 🤔

Pinstripe bowl in 5 hours and 40 minutes. #somethingtodo

The meaning of life is having your toddler tell you ‘I’m happy!’ Nothing tops that

Devon likes to be rubbed on her neck and behind her ears. A lot like Popeye in that respect. 🐕

Now that Devon is 7 weeks old, I’m slowly starting to watch tv again. Would One Battle After Another still be good if I watch it on mute with closed captioning over the course of 4-5 days?? 😂

The Leaf Thief and The Snow Thief are not comparable. Yes to Leaf Thief Hard pass on Snow Thief

Devon celebrating Christmas by staying awake for every minute of it

Again, the same Muskworld guy who told me in October that Musk was planning a shadow presidency reached out a month ago to say “Okay, yeah, confirmed that Musk nailed Miller’s wife”

Seeing some midnight mass photos and thinking bout how St George’s in Jeff New York was done with midnight mass 3 hours ago 😂

Poll results going around showing why people left their religion, but the options didn’t include “worst choir anyone’s ever heard” so not sure we can trust the results

Threads discussing how everyone has that one sandwich everyone has they’ll think about for the rest of their life And mine is just the chicken salad from Al’s State Street Cafe in Boston

Remind me to tell Devon her first movie was 1917

Me: watching Master and Commander for the first time in 20 years cuz people keep talking about it Jenn tuning in at very specific scene an hour in: Is this about bugs?

Sometimes I wonder what the pizzagate shooter would think of all this if he hadn’t been killed by police for pulling a gun during a traffic stop
