I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Hint hint 😘 @jakelupardus.bsky.social

I am almost always tired, stomachy & hate nearly the whole world. Who knew Darwin & I had so much in common.

Taking work calls from a temporary office today. Had to apologize if they could hear music and or waves in the background.

We went to Finland last yr & had to go to Sweden to find the northern lights. As we drove I briefly worried we’d need passports. The only way we knew we’d crossed the border was our driver told us when we stopped at gas stn (that had prices in krona vs euros). Oh & across the street was a big IKEA.

DRAFTS!!

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it. “There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

Last couple days of this genre of “this page isn’t political but I can’t stay quiet/fuck ICE” in my Facebook feed: a spooky crafter, cookie decorator, someone with 8 huskies, numerous food vloggers…I don’t follow any of them but liked the posts nonetheless.

I didn’t know that bus driver was also a pilot

This morning is like a little teaser treat for when it happens, an amuse bouche if you will.

Some days I wonder if I made a dumb decision to leave a cushy job for one that will likely require a lot more work. And then I see articles like this about the criminal enterprise I work for and the right decision seems very clear. www.fox4news.com/news/arlingt...

My soon to be former boss told me today that the first guy they offered my job to turned it down, but it might be for the best because he seemted to have a "Laura" attitude of "believing in a work/life balance". I've literally been checking emails at all hours a day/from vacation for almost 8 years.

🧵Relating to today's events: We had a shooting at one of our clubs a few years ago. A woman was angry for something (getting kicked out?) and drove her car towards a group of security guards. Six of them jumped out of the way. The seventh got in front of the car and shot and killed the driver. 1/3

I’ve been hesitant to endorse this for a while because it’s been a big deal for my hometown of Kansas City to be chosen to host World Cup games, but at this point? Yeah, they gotta do it. Not a damn one of them should spend a penny here. One more thing to hate Trump for.

Happy new year, we’re at war with Venezuela for no reason.

Welp 😬

FYI this is my most controversial holiday season take that causes arguments every time.

We’re driving to KC and on the same route as a bunch of trucks carrying pieces of a wind turbine. Those things are massive. Really wonder where it’s headed!

The #1 movie from when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. Welp.

Three months ago most of my company’s executives were indicted (after we were raided by the NY AG’s office last year). I was bothered both by the alleged crimes & the internal reaction to them. My boss told me if I didn’t like it I should find another job. Today I gave notice. New job starts 1/20!

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

This entire weekend

This thread is delightful (oops no pun intended). I ignorantly had no idea there was such a wide spectrum of menorah styles. Lions & t-rexes & pickles oh my!

At the end of Romeo + Juliet (Leo/Claire Danes version) a girl old enough to know better stood up and exclaimed “I can’t believe they died!”

PSA: don’t drink and wear jumpsuits.

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

I like to think he’s telling him about the Cones of Dunshire

I would like YouTube TV to resolve their dispute with ABC so I can watch this!

Happy Halloween from me and Ryan. One of these days I’m going to get him a Deadpool costume.

In Orlando for a conference. My hotel room supposedly has a “Florida view”. Behold the beauty of the Sunshine State!

Funny how the only hate I saw at the so-called “Hate America Rally” was from Trump supporters flipping us off. 🤔 #nokings

Reposing to show @jakelupardus.bsky.social my spice rack is small by comparison and has not yet taken the door off its hinges! (Also Mr. Bree’s collection is a thing of beauty)

It was a two Cybertruck drive to work this morning, and I just kept saying "Women don't like the vehicle" to myself. Also instructive when they put a company logo on it, so I know never to do business with that organization (not that I'll ever need to know or care what the hell Truong Capital is)

I needed this 😂

Olathe

I see a lot of people saying Vegas but for me I think it’s Reno? I was only there a few days for a work thing but found nothing redeeming. Also hated San Angelo, TX with a passion as a kid but that could’ve been my family’s fault.

We were recently on an escalator that stopped suddenly. I came pretty close to falling on the guy in front of me which would've been bad. Little did I realize it must have been a conspiracy against us by the Las Vegas airport, only logical explanation.

All of this Kimmel stuff has taught me that Houston has no Sinclair or Nextstar stations (other than the CW which doesn’t even get carried by YouTubeTV). I like that for us.

Has the east coast been raptured yet? Still trying to understand the timing.

lol please come back and pay more for us to cave to fascists!

Once had a new boss cleaning house/firing everyone he didn’t hire. I asked him if I should be worried. He said “short of telling me to go fuck myself there’s nothing you can do to risk your job” When he fired me 2 weeks later one of my biggest regrets is not saying “go fuck yourself” & storming out.

Dutch late night TV has its take

In trying to escape the hellscape for a bit, we'll be in Miami next week for a night pre-cruise. We normally do Cuban, but I discovered we have at least three Michelin-starred restaurants within walking distance of our hotel. Now to figure out which one @jakelupardus.bsky.social will agree to eat!

I think this is the best alt text I’ve ever read
