I put real shoes on my baby and now he’s clomping around like one of those dogs baffled by snow boots.

i think it’s beautiful that our society provides spaces for people to go out in public for the very first time in their lives. like in this grocery store

We are entering day 3 of the no savesies debate taking over every social media platform, with no end in sight.

Throwing up has returned. Thank you, toddler plague.

Something of a rough day here. Doin’ a little panic attack, feeling depressed.

Day 4 of Desperation Island, No Daycare and Snowed In with Diarrhea edition. If you asked me before having this kid whether DIARRHEA would be the chief issue of my postpatrum life, I would have been pretty confused.

Hey. It's worth every millisecond. The Thursday scream. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

To be fair to the Magistrate Judge, I do not believe it was the 375 page amended complaint that did it. On close read, it appears that it was the 720-paragraph, 946-page proposed second amended compliant.

Literally impossible to be sick and working and parenting, wooo

a whole lotta crazy on the latest Tesla earnings call, as usual, but for my money this was the craziest moment: claiming the company would fund its massive CapEx spend by securitizing revenue from robotaxis, which aren't even material

Wow yeah the normie Facebook content creator accounts are over it.

Here's what you need to know ahead of Tesla's fourth quarter earnings call: -lol nothing matters -magic is real, if you believe it in your heart -knowledge is a burden -chaos reigns! -repeated blows to the head can help anyone understand modern markets -don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling

I am also doing this by the way.

No no that can’t be right I’m sure it’s just language of economic insecurity

My siblings, who generously took over baby care today as I am down for the count, are going ”wowwww!” to the baby who is going “wowww!” back and it’s very cute.

Our repayment for being good parents and taking the baby to an indoor play place this weekend is: 2 of the 3 of us seem to have something like norovirus

You can always tell when someone’s on some real dumb shit by the ChatGPTisms

"Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It’s always funny when palantir employees discover that they work at palantir

Nothing boosts morale in a newsroom like an unspecified all-hands meeting that everybody can speculate about for an entire day.

Also the city took away wfh benefits BUT asked everyone to bring laptops home this weekend so they could still work today. So I guess the official policy is “you can’t do it if it benefits you in any way, but if it benefits us then great.”

We are doing the dual work-from-home-with-a-baby thing today and I have already cried once. I don’t know how you all survived the pandemic.

As a Philadelphian, I find the "I hope ICE goes to Philly" and "ICE won't know what hit them in Philly" rhetoric on here to be extremely gross

A cartoon duck waddles across the tv screen. “DUH!” my baby insists. “Duh! Duh!”

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Wow they even matched it with an appropriate picture. Dude got the Huma-Abedin-but-her-emails photo treatment.

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Instagram’s current attempt to get me to use threads is a clipped post with a pic of a baby and an old terrier dog, and the caption “we lost our grandson today…” They are referring to the dog.

You got heckled while trying to pee? Wow. Hard day. Definitely harder than being arrested and getting shipped off to a detention facility in Texas as a five year old.

🚨 they broke out "embattled"

Clod Code

Today's small life admin problem is that switching insurance companies during a qualifying life event requires a letter verifying the new coverage start date, and none of these companies has automated requesting one of those. An hour of phone trees yesterday, and back at it today for dental.

That picture of little Liam is breaking my heart. He still has such a baby face. I can’t even imagine. As usual I think of my one trump-voting relative who asked me in 2016 if I “supported families.” Goooo fuck yourself.

Relaxing with a little Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, a game where you try to escape a haunted island by giving a bunch of dead bears talk therapy.

I think we need some real information on AI costs ASAP. I've read two articles recently that attempt to claim it costs a "dishwasher" to run it, or that enterprise saas will be worth the cost of the software plus all employees it replaces -- neither seems to factor in openAI's expenses.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

It strikes me that he's acting in the way an abuser does when they're finally being left -- lashing out erratically, taking no feedback, becoming increasingly violent and desperate for control. Which of course is the most dangerous time. But. Maybe we ARE leaving?

It all feels pretty heavy today

Got my 1yo his measles shot today. The doctor asked if we might be traveling internationally this year, then said we should try to get shot 2 before we go and also "there's some concern future availability may be impacted, so that's also a reason to try to get it early." Fucking hell.

I do wish tech reporters would grow a spine here. An LLM is not making scientific breakthroughs. What they ARE doing is encouraging people to self-harm, and of course OpenAI’s position is that they own none of that.

NORWAY PM: I HAVE REPEATEDLY CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO TRUMP THAT IT IS AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE THAT AWARDS THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

2 months from now: "I got the papa johns pizza assistant to tell me to murder my mother so we can all escape the matrix"

Baby has taken a few steps today. He can't quite balance while standing still unsupported, but he can do a pretty controlled forward stumble all by himself for a couple feet.

The baby: "wowww" His out of state relatives who are visiting: "WOWWWWWW!!!!!" <3

Apple Watch “be” like “Low sleep score” Change the president… i wasn’t having these problems with Sleepy Joe

This guy in the coffee shop line tried to quiz the barista about which Star Wars tv show was the best — “there is a right answer” — an she absolutely shut that shit down and walked away. 😂

At this time last year I had been trying to push a baby out for nearly six hours and my doctor was like “you should feel proud you made it this far but you need help, we’re gonna pull and you’re gonna push” and I was like “this is how I was born too and I turned out ok? I think?” Lol.

I do enjoy when people say "X, the everything app" as a joke.
