So you've heard of "clean your lint trap" and everyone knows "clean your dishwasher filter" by now but have you heard "clean your washing machine's drain filter?" Because I learned that one at 11pm last night.

If you have a 23andme account, and you haven't done this already (and I hope you have!), do it now before it's too late.

Yeah idk what it is like I cheered for the Big East but I basically hate the entire ACC. But in this case I hated both teams so was cheering for comedy.

Ok so a final score of 5-3 is off the table now but maybe we can get 11-10? That's still pretty funny.

CATO INSTITUTE: Despite DOGE slashing jobs, government spending in every month of 2025 “was greater than in every other year .. An observer who did not know when DOGE started could not identify it” on a chart. 🤡 www.cato.org/blog/doge-pr...

The advantage of having seen Hamilton 4 times now is that I don't have to wait for the lyrics anymore I just start sobbing the minute the instruments start for Quiet Uptown.

It is true the Rams got screwed by the refs. It is also true that running your mouth about the refs is gonna cause that to happen in 50/50 calls.

It's important to understand how people work. They generally fall into one of two buckets. 1) I have staked a position, it is very difficult for me to change it as it is part of my identity 2) I have not staked a position, i have leanings and opinions but not an established identity

This is the same team UL was 2 points away from sweeping. I guess sometimes you lose to the team of destiny.

My wife wrote a thing about this too bsky.app/profile/emil...

The price of dicks is too high imo

We have the votes to extend the ACA tax credits, but Mike Johnson is sending us home early. Everyone's health care will be more expensive in 2026 if we don't act — that's the choice he's making. We're demanding a vote to extend the credits TODAY.

The issue here isn't what they did, it's that they didn't lead with it. It's in the methodology that this is how they handle missing data when there isn't another option.

This is an application of a theory I've been talking about for a while. Which is that only Democrats hate Republicans, whereas both Democrats and Republicans hate Democrats. It means the economy for hating Democrats is more robust. More articles, more podcasts, more shows...

My hunch is there was an extremely strong incentive to hold off price increases into the holidays and we've also seen an unexpected drop in gas prices this fall. I guess we'll see what happens after Xmas.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/con... The politics on this are complicated, because on one hand Republicans don't care about good policy. But they do care about holding onto power. In this case good policy won't save the house majority, because everyone hates Trump regardless. So why bother?

Dicking Around is such a time honored tradition that we had an acronym for it back in the day. DATBF (to be funny). And we were proud of it. That's why we were there. Anytime someone got too serious, it was good to remind them that what really matters is we're posting.

I look forward to passing this new ornament down to my grandkids and telling them to ask their mom/dad what it is.

If you filled a bird feeder all summer when it was nice out it means more birds survived to winter which means they are hungry now so keep filling that bird feeder. You made this mess, you can't walk away from your responsibilities now!!!

Any of the Daniel Pinkwater stuff. Worms of Kukumlima, Hoboken Chicken Emergency, Fat Men from Outer space... I don't know why his stuff seems to have faded.

Playing Toast by Heywood Banks for my kids at top volume at 7:30AM just to set the right tone for the last day of school before Xmas break.

Oh, so that's what this is about. He got cold at the inauguration.

If you didn't like my "make your own pasta" takes, you're really going to hate my "grind grown beef" takes.

Ok I don't even know who Heather Cox Richardson is

Getting emails at 1:45 AM from Canvas as my kid's grades are being put in????? Ms W., go to bed.

Being a Republican in 2025 is just repeatedly saying "well, I don't like him or anything he says but I'll still vote for him again" over and over again.

This is your permission to say awful shit about trump when he dies. If you needed it. Anyone objects, just post this again.

They see Kimiko in The Boys and think "omg this is DEI." Or they see that two main cast members in Brilliant Minds are gay and think it's oppression. I see these things and think "this is what my life looks like too." Badass women and gay people are normal to me, and not to them.

Wait a fucking minute, it's colder here than it is NORTH of us???? How does this make any sense.

If you have worked in software for any amount of time you have met an analog of this guy. They were everywhere from 2000-2020, and regularly got jobs because businesses were so desperate for coders. But the education industry really got ramped up around 2015 and that was that for them.

The latest movie is sooooooo good.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

My heat has been out since Friday at noon. It was 2 degrees outside when I got up this morning. It's still 68 degrees inside my house. If you have a gas fireplace, you should install a blower. It is simple and cheap and may save you thousands of dollars someday in emergency HVAC costs and hotels.

The wildest thing about this is the amount of tantrum Republicans threw about Biden using executive orders to halt deportations.

Notice how once the gun is gone the guy doesn't like turn into a ninja and start choking people out. Or pull out a knife and start stabbing people. Without the gun he just stops being a threat entirely. Weird. Ah well, nothing to learn from this at all.

Midnight showing of Star Wars Ep 1 (memorable, I didn't say good), Blair Witch for sure (full theater on a Saturday), Avengers End Game and original 80s Batman and Jurassic Park (only movies I had to try multiple times to see cause they kept being sold out). Romeo+Juliet because of the crowd only.

Uh. 😶

Well yeah the dude used the crappiest thing Heaven Hill makes of course it was gross

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

18-25 year olds are like the only voting cohort you can still lose easily lol. It's the one group you can't piss off because they will just immediately abandon you. They haven't formed their identity yet.

Woke up at 5:30, saw the kids were on a 2 hour delay. Texted the two older kids so they would know. Went back to bed. Woke up at 8AM (!!!!!!!!!).

I just want UL to get a shot at Nebraska. I know we probably won't win, but we need to look Dani in the eye and let her know we're still here.

We are so cooked.

We had a discussion about canceling Disney+ because this year I think we only watched 5 shows and 2 movies. We could have bought them for what we paid. But then they reeled me back in by making Disney+ a small marginal cost over Hulu and ESPN (which we do use a lot). But Disney+ is not keeping up.

Commentary: The President of the United States openly trashed Americans of a certain ethnic and racial group in a vile attack that preceded increased federal government harassment of mostly Somali Americans in Minnesota. Will Ohioans of Somali descent be next? ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/11/o...

Man this Kirk interview is gonna be great. I'm so excited to hear Charlie's widow cry on national TV about how the internet dehumanizes with 0 awareness that dehumanizing people on the internet is the entire reason she's able to pay her mortgage every month.

Affordability isn't a hoax when millions of Americans struggle to afford groceries, rent or health care. I will always listen to our families and work to make life better.

Never reported a politics text for spam so fast before

This Dresden Files reboot is going to be amazing.
