如意如意按我心意快快显灵

When my toddler wants to cuddle he says, “be teddy bear.” ☺️

We don't need AI for this! Games used to have a demo version that would play through a level. Just bring that back!

My kid is writing a story where the one weakness the bad guys have is to thrown sandwiches and I’m very proud of that he took an important lesson from the ICE sandwich guy. :)

Just leaving this here.

This is a case of fuck you make me IMHO

Sometimes I’m concerned that people will think my mom dressed the baby when it was me 🥲 IYKYK

You ass he's the goddamn president right now

“Get off the phone!” took on new meaning today, and it was just me futilely telling my little baby to roll off of the phone she was on top of while I was in the middle of a call.

this is how every outlet should refer to X

Not to mention the symbolism of showering, being naked, alone, being cleansed, being wet. There’s a lot going on there beyond, “this might be a tic.”

Much ado made about cool aunts, not enough about punctual and fiscally responsible aunts, or media literate aunts, or speed limit follower aunts, or uses good punctuation in text messages aunts

MAGA people seems to be extra insane about 1/6 anniversary today. But why though?? You fucking won

We just told the toddler he’s getting his diaper changed and he was like, “It’s OK.”

My one complaint about Heated Rivalry is not enough rivalry.

really fantastic job opportunity for folks with editorial experience (relatedly, if y’all are ever in the market for a labor reporter, PLEASE lmk @19thnews.org!) 19thnews.org/19th-news-ed...

Today I was helping out a stranger when she recognized my name and fangirled about my articles she’s read over the years 🥹 My ego is puffed up like a perfect soufflé

interestingly some of my interviewees (Chinese feminists) have the same critique of a certain type of anti-CCP dudes (Chinese dissidents), that is they hate a particular regime but don't have compassion for the oppressed

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, Marco Rubio fashioned himself such a passionate friend to the demonstrators that some really fancied him net-net a force for good. He’s a fucking snake and always has been.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

Sharing what a Venezuelan said:

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

finally, we're living through precedented times

Watching “Frankenstein” makes me want to rewatch “Ex-Machina” and compare these Oscar Isaac performances.

It’s bad this foreign policy is extremely Fargo flavored

Next… week???

We do not need to call it “Donroe Doctrine”

I stir fried some potato wedges in taco seasoning and it’s good.

My villain origin story is going to be people saying "but he's objectively evil" JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 2002 and 2003. WE KNOW BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

In other news my son bit me hard enough to break skin when I denied him more cartoons 😮‍💨

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The US invades a sovereign nation to force a regime change and a major news network reports it like this and it’s only January 3rd

Finally watching Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein”!!! What a decadent visual fairytale it is. I’m only at the middle of the movie and the creature is such a smol kitten, I love him.

Honestly the most perfect response to fuckability politics that confer being fetishized with being humanized www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ynuxGP/

I genuinely don’t get why anyone would think American Chinese food would be the same as British Chinese food or Chinese food in any other country.

We did not move to this country for more state owned media.

There’s a very sneaky little xenophobia narrative in here, like hidden veggies inside a humorous tale about little food snobs with expensive taste. These kids are turning their little noses up at the humble goodness of a grilled cheese or nuggets for the exotic, the exotic, the incompatible.

So what are some mac-n-cheese equivalents in different countries when it comes to easy win toddler meals? I realized that I don’t even know what that would be in the different parts of China lol

Making Caribbean green seasoning ice cubes because who has time to chop fresh herbs??

I’m not a betting person but if I did I’d bet Hudson Williams will get cast as Nightwing at some point. He’s got the face card. And the butt.

"Even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person." #McSweeneysTop25of2025.

One of my toxic traits is scheming about pitching an ambitious feature without any childcare secured lol

In a moment of deep cynicism (I know I know, it’s early) I observe my local townspeople being so much more impassioned by the closing of their dilapidated mall than anything else going on in the world.

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."
