I’m really mad I didn’t plant mini cucumbers this summer

I like “MAHA Blast” but can we also consider “Taylor Shits”?

yeah we’re gonna have to ban prediction markets

Before sports betting was legalized everywhere, I was neutral about it, thinking that it was a personal choice. Now that it exists everywhere I have been radicalized against it like a 19th century suffragette

The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

My drag queen birthday party for the toddler went down during blackout thunderstorming that partially flooded our venue, all the guests showed up late and varying degrees of drenched, and we had an amazing time somehow. My mascarpone/whipped cream icebox cake with Maria cookies was a huge hit.

I kind of want to do a bread bat comic

Straightforward fascist ideology running throughout, as illustrated by this passage

When I opened the fridge this morning the baby ran past me and made a grab for the bottle of white wine and jar of hot sauce lol A girl after my own heart!

We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us, more and more throughout our lifetimes, perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost.

Imagine thinking all that foreign students bring to the table is tuition money and nothing more

As the host for a toddler party tomorrow, do I dress up a little and wear a dress or should I go tactical and wear stuff with a lot of pockets that I can move in? So basically, princess look or stage hand look?

The toddler saw giant fruit bats at the zoo last month and today he told me he’s a “bread bat” after eating an entire slice of plain toast

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

"After boarding a handful of boats — stuffed to the brim with people and pets — community members drove across the lake as their entire First Nation burned to the ground behind them. " www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is also shit. Every writer I know who edits does more than “proofreading” come on do you even talk to actual writers before writing this shit?

We don’t talk enough about how sometimes Chinese people make unseasoned food, but because we think the (usually) veggie tastes amazing on its own and only need to be made not raw in such a way that brought out its soul.

Is anyone else watching a ton of air tanker dumping water on wildfires footage set to classic rock? They’re so satisfying.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

If Menelaus had taken testosterone injections, maybe he wouldn't have been such a beta cuck that his wife wanted to leave him.

I think Taco Bell has an undeserved reputation for diarrhoea that's half racism and half the effect of fibre-deprived intestinal tracts being confronted with a bean. They aren't responsible for the shit-salad, and they're trying to STOP it!

I do think pinning this on specifically Taco Bell is weird since many confirmed cases aren’t people who ate at Taco Bell at all and we know the actual source—Taylor Farms—distributes lettuce and other produce to many, many other large food businesses

I’m 100% earnest when I say “leave Taco Bell alone”

Dang they really got a category for everything

Making an icebox cake today :D

So many landscapers mowing and trimming in my neighborhood and I’m honestly mad they don’t get the day off and likely do not receive hazard pay

Taylor Farms being responsible for the outbreak is like the old man who owns the amusement park being the Scooby Doo villain. You don’t say

This whole thread is incredible and I’m bookmarking so I can read all the linked articles!

I assume we’re finally getting a test for a condition that affects 1 in 10 women that doesn’t involve cutting you open because they found out 10s of cis men can get it too www.healthline.com/health/can-m...

Being a toddler mom makes me pretty much immune to bullying lol None of you have anything on my adorable progeny when they want ice cream for dinner.

Elon Musk trying to sink a Christopher Nolan movie was honestly the funniest and dumbest course of action he could have taken. He’s one of the most popular filmmakers alive and now it proves Elon and his fanboys have no real cultural impact outside of X

"With varying degrees of success, agents...are delivering news about restaurant openings, closings, and trends, often allying with restaurant PR reps. It’s an agent’s job to sell buyers on the neighborhoods they work in, and trendy restaurants are amenities."

My toddler thinks “lavatory” is another word for volcano. Honestly his logic astonishes me.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

So I read the toddler “The Cookie” from Frog and Toad stories, and after I was done I asked him if he has will power, and he shouted “No!” and laughed like a maniac and then asked me for a cookie.

I know it’s developmentally normal, but it’s still so weird that my one year old eats more than my three year old at dinner

Like most people, I always thought it would be neat if we had a more exciting food supply

I forgot Keke Palmer has Broadway pipes, damn

This piece makes me think of how often we have to hold our noses and vote for progress, which often comes parceled with problematic men. I also think of leftist men I’ve known who talk a good game about being feminists, but then abused the trust they earned from women to push their horny agenda.

Platner’s campaign offers extremely good insight for what voters want, I hope it doesn’t get thrown out with the man himself.

I slept on it, and decided this is AI. The proportions are too wrong, even though they did manage to get the right number of fingers. How hard is it to find a stock image of washing hands with soap??? This image is supposed to reassure me but it just low key freaks me out with its wrongness.

Are these AI hands or am I just paranoid now

I’d love an article that’s a list of foods and simple preparation guidelines that are accessible, affordable, and yummy. For example, I am making a lot more veggie stir fries, bean stews, and buying nectarines instead of blueberries:

The boring way to avoid the diarrhea lettuce is to cook it, Chinese-style, with oyster sauce and garlic (h/t @chrysaora.bsky.social): thewoksoflife.com/cooked-lettu...

*This* is the guy who’s so good at hide and seek his teachers can’t find him??

The toddlers are Very Displeased about the lack of berries in their lunchboxes

Does anyone else get a super tender ovary when they ovulate?
