Yep. Navigating parenthood is hard when it seems like every choice you can make it wrong 😅 I've severely limited the social media parenting content I consume.

I need somebody to give me $5000. Ain't nothing wrong, I just wanna go on a shopping spree.

Brother this is the home of THE Murder Kroger lmao

I'm afraid to find out the context of this

Can’t think of a former pro athlete that has adjusted to the next phase of their lives worse than Tom Brady.

I need to turn this day off and turn it back on again.

....I think I've just been influenced

While we're talking about books, I remember reading one that had such cool world building. Unfortunately the protagonist was such a drag that while I finished the book, I DNF'd the series.

This. Heck, I've read plenty of books since then, but nothing will ever take the place of Harry Potter in my formative years. I just had to let it go and deal with the void because I ain't giving JK Rowling money.

When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril

The last generation of VC investing has been underscored by the fact that venture money circles are filed to the brim with very wealthy people that are completely inconsolable that they missed the boat on Instagram/Amazon/Facebook/etc. So, they're susceptible to snake oil labeled The Next Big Thing

Seriously, these people are nothing but roadblocks to making things better and they're being propped up by money the average person just doesn't have.

UPDATE: Thank you @jacknicolaus.bsky.social for engaging in a very informative good faith conversation with Mike Conti. He is taking the information really well. (And Atlanta United also has one of the best bike valet services in town)

This piece is frustrating. The bulk of it is spent on the debate around licensing with a brief mention at the end of a major issue: Many older drivers live in areas without transportation options. Stricter licensing and more road tests are needed, but we also need to address car dependency.

I ordered food hoping it would get here before the baby wakes up and uhh.... It's not looking good for me 😬

Yeah. Some people will do that. Which is how economies begin to weaken. Because expensive gas crowds out spending on everything else.

A production designer for a dystopian sci-fi movie would be told that this coin would be too on-the-nose dictator

If it's a suburb of a major city, it shouldn't count. COLUMBUS, Georgia is an actual example of a smaller metro in the state.

I'll never forget the early days of the Covid lockdowns. I read something about how folks in India saw the Himalayas for the first time in many years once the air pollution lifted a bit. And there were similar stories elsewhere. Earth is not beyond salvation at all.

All the indie authors who use AI for their covers because “what am I supposed to do, I can’t afford an artist” would probably have a melt down if artists did paintings and had AI write books to go with the paintings. Anyway, shout out to indie authors who have really bad photoshop covers.

What in the From Felony to Sunrise Service...

Absolutely wild. There truly needs to be some accountability over all the awful stuff this administration has done and I'm sad that it probably won't happen 😑

...That was a crazy wintery mix just now. I wish I was at home lol

And this was evident loooooooong before he was ever president. For example he was the exact same way in that documentary ESPN did about the USFL 💀💀💀

Also it's wild because I went to a fire works show in Auburn, Alabama and it basically looked like this but with diversity. I get that everything being whites only is part of the nostalgia factor, but sheesh.

“I’ll just get gas in the morning”

Early March weather is so disrespectful. It's rough having a birthday this time of year because you never know what you're doing to get.

I should probably watch this at some point. My movie/television backlog is embarrassing.

You would think this completely unnecessary and self inflicted disaster would keep the GOP out of leadership for the next 100 years but it wont.

Yes and that this screening question is not something from 2020 but was a standard way to employ fiscal responsibility by ensuring federal money went to communities that had less or areas of research that were under developed.

Please note most federal grants *required* information on how the grants would benefit underserved or understudied groups. If you applied for a grant, you *had to* include something that would speak to diversity and equity.

I'm most surprised by QBs. I expected that to skew more heavily Republican

Spoilers be spoilering 🤯 Also btw your vote matters big time--especially at the local level

no but this is why you have to put up with the insane vikings stuff because florio is the only big reporter willing to ask these questions. sports reporters at the top have let themselves become sentient transactional logs when that is just not that important ultimately

I might be a bad person for laughing at this

Trump hasn't made Americans desperate and fearful enough of losing everything that they're willing to do these jobs for the wages on offer yet. But he's trying.

😒

"THINGS ARE ALREADY BAD AND CAN'T GET ANY WORSE!" - Yall in 2024

i think i'm choosing pombon..........

Louder. Financial literacy is relevant for people with disposable income to be bad with in the first place.

How are we letting entire articles where the journalist admits they didn't even watch the game be published? In The Athletic? This should've just be posted to a burner substack. I'm so embarrassed.

This might be presumptuous, but I don't even think Kobe himself would've supported that 💀💀

my day started by opening a text containing a link to an ice cube jr tweet where he was claiming the the 83-point game was manufactured and rigged a rigged 83-point game for bam adebayo in a locally blacked out game between the wizards and heat. my friends in miami/DC couldnt watch the game legally

if you heard the first two sentences of this and didn't know what he was gonna say next you'd absolutely assume somebody had died

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣 This is one of the few times I miss Twitter because I KNOW Lakers fans were being weird and also getting clowned

Made a Photoshop

If you're into this stuff.... As a lover of random facts, this is interesting to me lol
