Of all the posts to break containment and end up on the Discover tab… 😆

Pray for me: I went to Costco hungry.

I heard about this and had to go look it up. He really did take "The path of the righteous man..." did some mad-libs to make it about military aviators, and recited it like it really was from Ezekiel. The smirks in the audience as some of them start to recognize it...

We went to see Rhys Darby tonight. We had a great time! And it solidified my theory that people who succeed at comedy do so because they cannot do *anything* else.

I’m sorry it would be just too funny if an outcome of all of this is to like… undo the major schisms.

Yinz, my husband is SO EXCITED to show me this movie.

So, our family plays a lot of mini golf. I’m not usually a mini-golf person, but I HAVE become a person with a lot of opinions about what makes a good mini golf course. So because this website needs more posts about Not The Horrors, I will share:

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Just in the anecdata of my kid’s social group, while girls were more into it overall, most of the boys were also very into it as well. My specific boy still asks for it in the car.

by fuck it’s a beautiful world

You shouldn't need a medical reason to buy soda or candy bar. We consume things for pleasure as well as nutrition, and people who are in poverty shouldn't be denied a cheap treat because their source of food funding is being used for social experiments by a group of assholes and criminals.

This is the only thing I want to read about what that man posted.

apparently today's a good day for this

On the one hand, I am a grown adult with bills to pay and do not need to be spending it on frivolous polyester shit. On the other hand, I have free will and maybe a Derpy Tiger Squishmallow would fix me.

yes, please do not fedpost but also it is incredibly infuriating that the president of the united states can threaten to destroy an entire civilization with impunity and the rest of us have to say <redacted> a lot

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

I know today is A LOT, so friendly reminder.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Definitely at least try this. I have devised a bespoke sequence of schedules and settings for what kinds of notifications get to reach me and when, but I’m willing to fiddle with and maintain it. Perma-DND + a careful list of people who do need to be able to reach you* is enough for most people.

These are DC squirrels; they like seasoning on their food. I expect to find them at my door, asking for mumbo sauce next.

This site needs more food posting so here we go: The salad we eat all the time, like 3 seasons of the year, is cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, tossed with a couple spoonfuls of prepared tzatziki sauce. It often also has bell pepper in it, or feta or olives, but tomato/cuke/sauce is the minimum.

Living in DC is like: every time I hear helicopters I’m looking out my window to see if it’s happening.

I heard someone say that we should celebrate in such a way that it TERRIFIES those who are in charge in the future

So I’m in the car with the kiddo after some errands, and the playlist ran out. And I had just read another article about neural nostalgia recently, so that one song by @eve6.bsky.social was stuck in my head. You know the one. But I was blanking on the title.

Your annual, tax-season reminder that Flexible Spending Accounts are: a. Not actually flexible b. A stupid, user-hostile way to "help" people pay for things that should be considered a public good.

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Yes . It should because it means that we may have more mixed income classes which is good It also means that if one of the parents in these neighborhoods loses money or is abused by the other parent they don’t have to make their child’s development a decider in their safety

Byron Noem can do whatever he wants but like, have the dignity to get a decent fake boobs bodysuit, my guy.

Watching the Masterpiece adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo and “I have escaped prison and have unlimited funds so it’s over for you hoes” is the most relatable shit ever.

I recently wrote a piece about this: www.techdirt.com/2026/03/16/a...

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Going camera-off in a meeting because my kid came upstairs to my office to share his Oreos with me. 🥰

“Okay, so, it’s about the weatherman who had to decide if D-Day could happen, and he’s played by Andrew Scott. His sneering nemesis who doesn’t trust his weather skills is Damian Lewis, and oh yeah, we got Brendan Fraser to play Eisenhower.” You magnificent bastards, I am IN.

I don’t know if rage-cleaning is a healthy coping mechanism or not but my kitchen counters are much improved.

I'm just saying, apropos of nothing, as Star Trek as an "intellectual property" belongs to some of the worst of the capitalist class. And that's bad and it's sad. But Star Trek as a cultural phenomenon has always been ours and no number of billions can buy that.

The problem with cleaning your kitchen first thing in the morning is that when lunchtime rolls around you don’t want to fix yourself anything good and mess it up.

Alan Ritchson has essentially two professional responsibilities and they are, in order: 1. Be just excessively huge and jacked. 2. Film fight scenes. So many fight scenes. And THIS is the guy you chose to pick a physical altercation with in front of his children.

All the obvious questions you inevitably have are indeed answered in this story, but they lead logically to a series of additional questions, which are not.

This is frustrating for so many reasons, not the least of which being that it essentially validates the worst people in the world who made shitting on this show their entire personality before it ever aired a single episode.

In an internal meeting, I recently described the market positioning of one of our products as "Listen up 5s, a 10 is speaking." I can't tell if that means I'm getting better or worse at product management.

ICE has already started assaulting and kidnapping people from airports, as their children watch. The wall for every single person in this American gestapo.

Today my spouse casually informed me that he spent time today listening to a podcast while reading a book. Listening to a PODCAST. While reading a BOOK. Reader, we have been married nearly 20 years and this is the first I have been informed that he is some kind of bitextual wizard.

As someone who really dislikes TSA, the average TSA bully wants to pull you out of line, waste an hour of your day, get to be big man on campus for 60 min and then send you on your way. The ICE guy wants to shoot you in the face. Different vibe

For those of you who live outside DC: DC passed a no right on red law. Because the data showed that would reduce pedestrian fatalities. Congress wants to invalidate that law, and make red light and speeding cameras (again, legal under DC law) illegal. Because they have nothing else to do? 1/2

Pretty big words from a guy who is visibly rotting… unrelated, did y’all know that Costco has a very nice Kirkland Prosecco for like 9 bucks? Keeps well in the fridge for unexpected celebrations.

I honestly feel like that’s the lesson of the Trump era the country is gonna take the longest to learn. like oh okay so we have been lionizing the founding fathers for 250 years and it turns out they didn’t do their ONE JOB. they didn’t Mad King-proof ANYTHING! first Mad King crashed the system!!!

Oh NOW the elite want people to work from home again

The world is a garbage fire but it’s Friday, the sun is shining, and DEADLOCH IS BACK! Let’s gooooooo….

Yeah, but like, a cool one. Made of hot pink transparent acrylic.

DC government seemingly is allowing federal government to eliminate an extremely well-used bike lane along a street that's not even heavily trafficked by cars (I know it well! I use it almost daily!). 15th St corridor is DC's most important north-south bike route. This move would be amputating it.
