Adventures in potty training: 2yo: why do you have to go to the bathroom when you have to pee? Me: because I only wear diapers when I have babies! 2yo: well, I only wear diapers when I have grown ups!!!

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

One of the many losses we endured last night.

Ready for @mayorkeller.bsky.social’s statement congratulating Megan Keller on that hockey goal!!! 🥇 🇺🇸 🏒

I screamed!! I gasped!!

This hockey game!! 🔥 🏒 🥅

I haven’t been live posting the city council meeting tonight but if I had it would mostly be “FUUUUUUUUUCK”

Police in this county have a "no chase" policy. "This is really unfortunate and, more than likely, preventable," the police chief said. #LindaDavis www.huffpost.com/entry/teache...

My cat just coughed up a hairball on my Red Sox shirt, does that mean he’s a Yankees fan? Please advise

I wish Monday holidays were staggered Fridays. My college doesn’t take Presidents’ Day and I’m not as mad about it because not having my Monday class for MLK day was a challenge, but I still think we all deserve more three day weekends. Always have Friday off, you should get the Thursday too.

I love a sport that lets you have 35 minutes to ponder and contemplate 🤔💭🥌

Good to see that the post-Burn timeline finally ended the height limit on San Francisco.

neat that the snuck an episode of DS9 into Starfleet Academy

There’s so many types of romantic gestures but @atherton.bsky.social washing my favorite throw blanket first thing and then putting it on my lap fresh from the dryer while I veg out in the couch on Valentine’s Day was some next level romance

Skeleton commentator just said it’s “a sport that just looks like you’re winging it on a cafeteria tray” and I cried laughing (here for Kelly Curtis! Go Kelly!!)

if I succeed at nothing else as a father this will have been enough

Me, minding my own business, listening to Wet Leg’s mangetout 2yo: I don’t like this song, I like the November song Reader, he wants The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. But no, that’s not it, it gets worse. He specifically wants the “loud one”, ie Dandy Warhols cover.

Sometimes I'll run into a friend on the street and they'll be like "I've been trying to reach you on Facebook" It's like... You couldn't find a set of semaphores? You weren't able to get a classified ad in the town crier???

having a hilarious day on God's Internet.

Winner winner. @analiliafornj.bsky.social helped build the Working Families Party in New Jersey. Now her victory sends a clear signal that it’s a new day in New Jersey politics, and our country is ready for bold, working-class leadership. Let's talk about it:

There's a hot new move going around popular fronts where a near-contender in a contested primary endorses the leftier winner as a bulwark against the forces that ran the reactionary spoiler. It's called "Landering" and it kicks ass.

Someone from the Polish Olympic team better give Tara Lipinski a pierogi stuffy.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The other day a friend with kids messaged me to ask if I could explain how electro-magnetism works because their toddler had learned there was a connection from a youtube video and wouldn't stop asking questions. I think people can manage to explain love to their kids much more easily.

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

My son just asked if he could get polka dots like mommy 🥰 I told him he likely will when he’s older. And I hope people don’t tease him as much as they teased me about them 👙

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Someone forgot the midnight rule: Before midnight: you down? After midnight: you up?

-Bashir to O'Brien upon entering Quarks

It’s always “are you a top or a bottom?” and never “are you charm, strange, up or down?”

The team skating competition is cute but they should make each country learn a synchro routine together and then I’ll be impressed

Toddler Olympic ceremony observation: yeah, you have to wave your flag when you have a parade like that! @atherton.bsky.social: I guess you do, yeah

I am so deep in the heated rivalry social media nest that I’m getting suggested posts about Ilya booger analysis

Bed good big fan of bed

Anchorage seniors will soon be able to ride the city’s People Mover bus for free two days a week.

The warmth in Albuquerque over the past four months has been remarkable and a bit alarming. Each month has ranked among the top five warmest on record. Taken together, this October through January period was nearly 3° warmer than the previous warmest period. #NMwx

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram. 😢

White women out here doing free emotional labor for exhausted senate clerks tired of getting 400 calls a day about ICE funding. (I am, in fact, the white woman in this scenario.)

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career. What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

ok i'm probably late to the party but i hate that turning off "smart features" in gmail means they don't check your spelling anymore? Please tell me i'm missing something?

on the pride parade "Husbands of Heated Rivalry superfan wives" float with the other guys. we're chopping it up and hanging out. we're all standing on the float holding a beer and they're all cheering for us. more than the other floats even. Is that...is someone playing Wolf Parade

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

like at this point I'd take President Gul Dukat and not think twice. he'd be so much more concerned with ethical governance.

"Life on earth is hell enough," I tell my sleeping toddler, through teeth gritted hard. "And that makes every ICE agent someone who has volunteered to serve as an agent of evil, choosing demonic action." Universalist cosmology strained but I keep my eye on who deserves what ICE does: not one person

ICE will repeatedly execute nonviolent protesters in the streets and call it insurrection

7 democrats made this bill pass. If they all voted “no” it would’ve failed 213-214.
