The Anselm Kiefer exhibit at the St Louis Art Museum right now is the opportunity of a lifetime, designed specifically for this space, and it's FREE. It's worth making a trip here for this.

Friendly little Tylenol. Just don't give it to mom

A new analysis tries to calculate the coming environmental footprint of AI in the US and finds that the ideal sites for data centers aren’t where they’re being built.

100% said this and feel free to quote me on it. Also @jackiekashian.bsky.social is a fantastic comedian and you should see her when she comes to your town.

Baby squirrels have been driving the cats crazy this week. This one was using a flowerpot like a sandbox this morning, doing flips between digging. We've learned that if the squirrels have nuts in the front yard, they stay out of the back gardens

New event display for patches

New holiday music party game: Rosemary Clooney or Wayne Newton?

While we're having this discussion, it's never cool for a teenage boy to be with an adult woman either. They're all children, and brain-wise, the prefrontal cortex isn't developed until early 20s. An adult in a relationship with an adolescent is wrong 100% of the time.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

A fierce debate is happening in our house tonight. What do you call these, and where are you from?

I am constantly baffled by the number of people who walk around on speakerphone in a bookstore or library. You can still put phones up to your ear!

They are calling this 3D knitting. 🙄 Everything I make is 3D crochet. Anyone who has knit a sock is doing 3D knitting. What they mean is that they are charging $230 for a machine knit bag.

Apple has made a $230 iPhone sock 😅 the iPhone Pocket is actually a knitted bag, and Apple will start selling it on Friday www.theverge.com/news/818328/...

My brain cannot believe this is a photo.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The 2026 salute is HUGE. Like I was prepared for disappointment and am shocked at how good it is.

The most I felt like I was living a wwii Rosie Riveter poster was going to a packed stadium to get the covid vaccine. That happened and they want you to forget it did. We can do big things

SO. EXCITED.

Nice to have some wins among the chaos lately

If Dems cave on the mere PROMISE of a vote, those Dems that cave will need to be run out of office, primary the fuck out of them and LEADERSHIP for not being able to fucking lead. This is getting stupid with these constant losses because of shit leadership.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Having one of those days where I don't want exactly what someone else has, but I want something that makes them wish they had what I have. It's cool, I'm often motivated by spite. #petty

Never let one event determine if your ideas are smart or dumb or overpriced. There are some events where I sell out of these goofy worms and sell zero rocks. Today it was all rocks and no worms. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You know who else kept the belongings of those they detained right?!? Rhymes with Yahtzees

I'm late to listening to this episode but I really appreciate the middle aged dad vibes. Just like... Being in your 40s and happy. www.patreon.com/posts/142415...

When you work at home you have to DoorDash your Friday treats. Sassafras is not usually a people food cat at all but something about Biscuit Town made him WILD. I

We’ve officially launched! Lots of ways to support this new initiative that supports street vendors from 🧊 we keep us safe! Interest form and flyer below! #BikeChi forms.gle/dY931Sxzs6V9...

Giving new life to old ornaments! @whatahellofawaytodad.com will be at Affton High School craft fair on Saturday, for you STL peeps. I'm thinking about organizing an ornament trade in, where turning in so many scratched up ornaments gets you one of these. This year is all about the barter.

Instagram moms are all over this story but I haven't seen it shared widely here. I have seen first hand accounts from the parents. This teacher had legal status in the US, a work permit, and, of course, had been fingerprinted and passed a criminal background check.

Everyone should know that the US government runs a couple hundred publicly funded grocery stores providing low cost nutrition.....they are called military commissaries.

Johnson on Virginia in Nov 2021: It’s a race that appears to be going very well for the Republican… There’s no conclusion to draw other than that Democrats are leading our country down the wrong path

I've had the Panera Sip Club for years for occasional Dr Pepper & iced tea bc my kid has therapy right near one and kids love Panera Mac & cheese. Today I realized that I have been neglecting the iced coffee option and it's going to save me a fortune.

My junior travel agent has been helping dad with dinner plans tonight and just said she recommended a place "near their resort" (a hotel chain with "inn" in the name) basically so they could get to their food coma faster. 😅

This may be an echo chamber but at least I don't have to see the dumbest people on earth here, unlike Facebook. (Moms deserve more recognition for the fact that keeping up with kid stuff requires Facebook, and it is mentally exhausting.)

If he can speak in complete sentences and not molest anyone then he's doing better than the last ten years of mayors

you're laughing? when polls close, andrew cuomo is going to have to blast off with team rocket and fight meowth for a seat and you're laughing?

The birds are back at the feeders and Marie is completely overstimulated

One thing I know I'm too old for is debating if facts are real with a person who looks like my 1997 boyfriend and is ALSO in that "it's spelled Xris" phase. I mean,you do you, boo, but I'm 47 and did that ish 30 years ago.

Oh no 4 library holds showed up at once

The book version of Mary Poppins is far superior, and this is one of my favorite lines, in response to Mrs Banks asking if she can manage the errands with a broken pram. The audiobook narrator absolutely nails it and made me laugh out loud. 📚💙

Ron Swanson in a dog suit. She's been around too long to rehome but I still fantasize about it every day. 😅 I tossed her outside 10 min ago because she stood on the desk to scream at a passing dog and she literally hasn't shut up for 1 second since.

To be fair, I RARELY put up Christmas decorations the weekend after Halloween. But I'm not opposed to it. (Also I think we need a new tree this year and I am waiting for sales.) www.patreon.com/posts/142415...

One thing I will always appreciate about Bluesky is that they don't squash links, so I can start my morning with an article like this. More joy plz. www.theguardian.com/music/2023/j...

You can curse daylight saving time, daylight saving, daylight savings, daylight savings time, and/or daylight time. All are considered acceptable so go off.

Did you know Disney's Wilderness Lodge has an 82' fireplace? It's designed to mimic the Grand Canyon, and each floor has a little shadow box about the fossils of that level's era. It's also a nod to Mary Colter, designer of Bright Angel Lodge.

It is INSANE that we just unleashed this on everyone without any idea of what would happen. All these tech bros need to be jailed.

I pulled up this thread while trick-or-treating to distribute jokes to teenagers

Just got off the phone with a roofing company we gave a deposit to in July, who still doesn't know when we will be scheduled, since ICE is harassing them even if their labor is legal. Fuck this timeline, I swear.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition
