Ah yes, name your home security company after the LOTR character famous for missing two halflings sneaking in through the back door. techcrunch.com/2025/12/28/f...

When can we all agree duvets are the worst? They’re the worst. Your mom showed you how, your grandma showed you how. Your mother in law then tried. They’re terrible.

@whittlz.bsky.social do you end up buying a squishmallow? Don’t, they somehow keep replicating in the house like gremlins.

Retro tech is worth keeping alive. With a little care, it just works.

I have slept 20 of the last 24 hours. Merry Sickmas.

Confirmed: The "call center" ICE is planning to open in the Nashville area isn't *just* a call center. According to new DHS documents, the ICE 287(g) National Coordination Center will host, among other things, the dispatch center for a transportation network of private armed guards. 🧵

Watching a Christmas movie on Tubi and this commercial for Huggies came on. We’re diead at the last line. youtu.be/itrJ3XEcZE8?...

I bought the Switch 2 as a Christmas Gift to myself for future proofing, because I still had the Costco cashback voucher, and so the kid can eventually play on the other Switch... But it is like a Switch Pro. It is all around better, but the main difference seems to be resolution and refresh rate.

We need your help to see the full picture of how the dismantling of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, parents, school employees and their wider communities. Here's how to reach out:

I just realized Frozen is just Wicked for babies.

I hear what the author is laying down here, but Heritage has always been a grift. They may be diminished for now, but grifters find a way to keep on grifting.

My co-authors and I participated in a webinar titled, "Preserving Rural School Districts from the Threat of Vouchers and Charters: A Conversation with the Authors" for the Wisconsin Public Education Network. If you wish to watch, here is the passcode: =r1x18Bn us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/hU...

Jing and kid seem to have recovered. And I am now sick.

Lee Pace’s The Dude turn in The Foundation is hilarious.

The Laffer Curve but with stadiums.

Private Equity has increasingly gone after buying electric and water utilities as well. Incredibly alarming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investo...

if you don't play or follow golf (or just don't get why so many people love it) this probably isn't on your radar but it should be understood as both a naked land grab and an attack on a part of DC's black history

You say you love your partner but have you ever had the level of love where you hand feed your partner Tylenol to break a fever while they just groan "Why?" and "No" and "I'm so cold. I need to be a burrito!"? That kind of love is rare.

Sorry friends and family, I have to go be a hermit now. The sea, she calls me. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Good lord. It's very much true. Just copy and paste.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

I started watching Gamers Nexus a decade ago for hardware tear-downs, benchmarking, and reviews. And I am all here for their deep dives into AI and surveillance capitalism and the dystopian hellscape that will ensue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lYs...

Jing has a fever and I put her to bed. She's groaning like it's a Civil War field hospital and I'm the surgeon who amputated her leg and are fresh out of laudanum. The kid is snotty but the fever broke, but also upset because Mommy is upset. I have accepted my fate, but with a stiff upper lip.

Kid's definitely doing better after regular doses of Tylenol (as Doc instructed). I've kept the 3-disc album Songs of the Street on my iPod for 15 years. Kid started swaying to Cab Calloway's Hi De Ho Man, so they're alright. www.youtube.com/watch?v=esnD...

Kid got a fever from something at school. Got that under control and now Jing says she's not feeling well. It feels inevitable that I'm next. What a fun Christmas this will be.

It happened in Septmeber, but I just learned of the passing of Dr. Kari Smith of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She was one of independent advisors of my doctoral program, the European Doctorate in Teacher Education. This lady was a boss. www.vg.no/minnesider/k...

As long as we're just making shit up. There was a Warren (Mom's side) on Mayflower so my vote cancels out this igit.

Well, it happened. I tripped on the baby gate while holding the kid. But I stunt rolled like MFing pro and landed back-side on the dog bed (thankfully no dog present). It was a slow fall, and I did scrape my knee going into the roll, and it did shock baby but they were A-Ok.

Today is fruitcake-making day. Kroger didn't have the traditional fruitcake candied fruit mix this year. They did have a cherry and pineapple candied fruit mix, so we'll make do.

Saw this and wondered if the young lady walked out because of the immanent racism. It was the racism.

If you name your school after Paulo Freire and fight unionization then you're a special kind of idiot.

Power is out

Oh, this is going to be my new favorite gif.

2 Bd/ 2 Ba, fruit trees, large deck, 31 acres, multiple hidden rooms... Wait, what?

Are we all just going to ignore the great irony that this man's name is Buss?

I'm starting to think the best plan for flying in and out of Nashville is to get your pilot's license and go to Tune. nashvillebanner.com/2025/12/17/n...

Seasteading, now with less sea.

Cyclists mourn Williamson County man killed in hit-and-run crash

We missed Trump yelling through the TV (cause who watches TV anymore) but we did have a debate about which fruit in our fridge will best help make a doo doo so it’s kind of like we did watch it.

Pour one out for Dan Bongino

Circular economy.

How I look at one of the cats when they puke on the rug when the hardwood is 2 inches away.

It's crazy to me with all this going on the feds are still spending money on healthcare dot gov commercials on youtube.

I don't think it's been covered enough that the bio-metric screening is one big grift by big tech. It's very much in the same vein as DOGE going into social security to scrape hundreds of millions of people's personal information.

An interesting discussion on AI in the content creation space. But the funniest bit is the old man pulls out a printed piece of paper to talk about new technology but it had run out of ink. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPit...

I fell asleep watching council and now it’s 6 in the morning.

People want to go home.

That book is still so very thick...
