Happy for Hungary, if a little jealous.

Wait it turns out senators can say these things? On Al Gore’s Internet? 🤯

Reminds me of one of my favorite overheard quotes of all-time. Random lady at the chaotic CLT airport baggage claim: “Charlotte, always a shit show”

I just learned (via a Facebook post where the OP was getting destroyed for calling it a “nuisance animal”) that they have native otters 🦦 living in Lake Conroe. Only 50 miles from me…May need to relocate. The nutria living in our retention pond aren’t nearly as cute.

Ok agree the actual sentiment from Slotkin is crap but at least she recognizes that we need to refer to Kansas City like it’s the equivalent of a state. I never tell people I’m from Kansas (or Missouri), always just KC.

Missing protests today in favor of driving home to KC for the week. Hoping we may see some ongoing as we go through Oklahoma. Sadly none of the DFW-area ones were visible from the highway.

Yeesh. Danish guy on company call this morning with quite the dig. “We are big on climate solutions here in Denmark, you should try it.”

Remember all those people that got fired for posting real Charlie Kirk quotes?

One of the best analogies I’ve ever heard (said about England but could be extrapolated): in the US, 100 years is a long time but a 100 miles is nothing. In the UK, 100 miles is a long way but 100 years is nothing.

Proud aunt alert…my niece wrote this for her University paper about other consequences of the terrible anti-trans laws Kansas has passed. www.kansan.com/opinion/lett...

On a call with a customer earlier. Caught myself saying I was nervous about “blowing out loads” (of data).

Had to text my mom since I couldn’t quite remember one of them. Her side: worked as an installation supervisor for Ma Bell. Dad’s side: butcher for a supermarket. Blue collarness kinda explains why my uppity dad (who had way deeper flaws not relevant here) wanted little to do with him.

Interesting thread. We’ve moved and been restricted twice so we are going on our 5th(?) rep in Texas in 8 years but one of them was Crenshaw so I was mildly amused he lost his primary though I figured it was to someone worse. Will have to watch this one! An outside chance is better than none.

So disgusted by my home state. We are going to visit my mom in a few weeks and if I didn’t really want to see her I’d cancel and keep myself and my money out of Kansas. Can’t imagine how trans Kansas are feeling right now. It was never about fairness in sports & fuck anyone that still believes that.

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

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.

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!
