MD Anderson does many many many great things and proud we are of all of them but their absolute insistence on crossing out the word "cancer" in everything their brand touches drives me up the wall. WHAT KIND OF CENTER IS IT THEN?

Me to the 3yo: are you being a crybaby? 3yo: no I'm not a baby, I'm a crying boy!

It warms my heart when I see writers I respect (in this case @matt-levine.bsky.social) agreeing with my stance that the inflexible "correct" rules for the interaction of quotation marks and terminal punctuation are dumb, wrong, and serve to obfuscate the intended inflection of a sentence.

In the 2 weeks after Mamdani won in June, 10k ppl signed up with @runforsomething.net to consider a run for local office - our biggest surge *ever*. Like it or not (& I do!!) he's shaping the future of the Democratic Party. If you want something different, get other people to run.

We've got you 👍

Gotta give it to Disney really knowing what's best for me, instead of ruining my day (and probably my family's too) watching Miami piss away a potential playoff run AGAIN, I was able to catch a much-needed nap to the dulcet sound of WVU-UH.

Dudes rock

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

This is so obviously dumb I think it could only be written about by someone who doesn't know their extended family. Like in a month I'll have dinner with ~50 (white rural VA) family members, most of whom I do actually know our technical relation, but my mom's cousin is still Aunt Carol.

chat, is is good when the business people are writing despondent quasi-limericks to the central bankers?

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Any argument for the ghost runner based on some of the extra-long games this postseason has to contend with the fact that most of the extras have been absolutely lousy with baserunners, they just all get stranded.

Wouldn't it be amazing if they bring Kershaw in and he shoves, just absolutely redeems his entire postseason career? Walks off the mound to like the most massive standing ovation? And then they send him out for one more inning?

Not pitching to Ohtani is cowardly and no fun at all. Smart move.

I WILL NOT - dashare.zone ADMIN

We will have a high trust left typified by church-going monogamous gays with kids at a low trust right typified by a weirdo racist polycules.

GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

3+7=10 +9+5=24 +40=64. Playing a bunch of rummy as a kid taught me to look for pairs that add to 10 first, cause that's how I always sped up counting point values of a bunch of cards.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

Great moments in redaction history.

The 3yo's habit of correcting Mom any time she refers to Miami with "no, not your ami, Daddy's ami!" is gonna be a little less endearing and a little more hurtful tomorrow...

For better or worse, O&G will be the lowest-hanging fruit for process heat electrification, bc a) they have relatively low-temp needs (as opposed to kilns/furnaces) b) every molecule of methane they don't burn to make steam is a product or feedstock, which >doubles the $ benefit.

This is absolutely blood-boiling, especially since my dog has been straight-up attacked (blood drawn, had to physically pull the other dog off him) twice within a block of my house by off-leash dogs. And FWIW if I hadn't intervened Jack would have absolutely won both of those fights.

How bad is Houston's hobbling of the Red Line by turning off signal priority? Google maps says I'd be better off getting off the train at downtown transit center and taking a bus the rest of the way north.

Today in toddler culinary innovation: the marshmallow ham wrap

Flaherty was either conversing with a deceased loved one for inspiration or saying something so vile and hateful it'll send jomboy to therapy

I think it's maybe a little too easy to overcorrect on this stuff and totally dismiss anyone's concerns about autism. This is a fantastic article/video that takes concerns seriously and answers a lot of questions while laying out exactly how unserious the WH's current approach to ASD is.

Chron, I know good people work for you, but this kind of headline has got to stop, you're really looking like the Epoch Times or something.

Gotta say Hunt's putting up better numbers than I would have thought, this has the potential to be an extremely messy primary.

I don't want to get too high on hopium, but not knowing anything about the field I had a hard time knowing how likely a win here was. Starting to feel realistic, and if Jordan can establish a beachhead for urbanism in local gov, why not Plummer as HCJ and Hollins as mayor?

Watching TV with the 3yo, I just sat up and let out an audible "oooh!" when Blippi drove up in a sensible pumper fire truck the size of a large delivery van, then a groan when (of course) it turns out he's at a fire station in France.

This is such an underappreciated point. So much of the genuine magic of markets is blunted, and indeed perverted to produce suffering rather than flourishing, when the demand curve is defined by *ability* to pay rather than *willingness* to pay.

I think this article may have single-handedly changed my mind on idling... also a good simple background on where it originated, which I sort of fuzzily knew of but the detail of the history is interesting.

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Makes me feel a little less insane to see exactly my first thought when I heard TX was sending its guard to invade other states in print.

Getting one of those stacked names t-shirts but it says Dextromethorphan& Pseudoephedrine& Guafinesin& Ibuprofen.

This is incredible camera work

OK I'm back to real-time on Miami-FSU after some ninja FF-ing on the DVR after a perfectly-timed halftime bedtime with the 3yo.

Name a 28-year-old: defector.com/name-a-28-ye...

Not really the point here but the idea of wanting to get to the Hans Zimmer concert early to get merch is hilarious to me

Break Ike Dike into pieces. This is our last resort. No protection. No funding. Can’t protect the port If we don’t get federal matching www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

Guess who just got into the weight room for the first time since my oldest child was born 3 years ago

"You need a coffin? I got a coffin guy."

Mamdani will win even harder if he promises that he will hire Adams on to just give daily press conferences where he can ramble about rat Jedis and how telekinesis is a problem in the dog community and such

Holy cow that was one of the most satisfying field-stormings I've ever seen
