They're making cars too curvy now. Everything looks like a dang oval. Do not explain the reasons to me please. I need cars to look like this

It only took us three attempts over two days to get all six adults in the same room while the one-year-old is awake to finish opening all of the presents.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Currently at the funeral for the penny, happening at the Lincoln Memorial:

Want to add that traffic advisories from the police should probably be issued more than a day in advance and issued somewhere other than Facebook. I only even found out what was going on thanks to a local news article. Would have been nice if that article was published more than 2 hours in advance.

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies. The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

It will be dangerously cold tonight. If you see folks outside please let them know about the shelter and how they can get there

Q: Well how would that even work? Have you thought of every single mechanic and eventuality of this scheme? Do you realize how hard it would be to accomplish? A: oh then I guess we shouldn’t try. sorry

I’ve worked in public libraries for 20 years, today was the first time we’ve had to tell someone they couldn’t bring their chainsaw in the library.

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Welp, looks like we're teaching the LinkedIn grindset people what The Onion is the hard way.

Can’t wait to someday pay $10,000 for a lawnmower that shows me ads while I mow.

One time as an undergrad I took a global sports and politics summer course during the World Cup and really the only thing our professor wanted us to come away with was the understanding that FIFA is evil

Help, I’m at my town’s Christmas parade and my husband is trying to explain theoretical math. Thanks a lot, @ryannorth.ca

This...should have been two separate emails.

I totally get her reaction though. This would be me if I ever met Big Bird.

There's a new nostalgia for No Child Left Behind gripping parts of the education world . I took a deep dive into the research to see whether it's really true that NCLB-style school accountability drove learning gains. Answer: yes—with several asterisks cbnewsletters.chalkbeat.org/p/would-more...

This is a wild story from @cstephenson.bsky.social for @tennesseelookout.com: Former Memphis Police Department Officer Patric Ferguson was sentenced to 38 years in prison Monday for kidnapping and killing a man while on duty.

Why it matters

AVs wont fix this (they're going to make it worse). Private single lane tunnels wont fix this. We need to get serious about getting people to and from BNA. That means buses in the near term and light rail in the medium term. We are not special and we do not need to reinvent the wheel here.

we have to go back. to warn them.

Didn’t have my husband’s bassist explaining rick rolls to my father-in-law on my Thanksgiving bingo card, but here we are.

I saw my husband’s Joker laugh on New Year’s Eve 2020 and I do not want to experience that again.

My husband was trying to explain whatever happened to the Trapt frontman for some reason and all I got out of it is that he’s the @eve6.bsky.social Waluigi.

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

I’m gonna say something controversial: I actually don’t think chickpea anxiety is real

The rectangle rots our brains *and* informs us of the rot irl.

Even the Pope is not safe from mansplaining reply guys

2025 has me wishing I’d stuck with my nursing major in undergrad instead of comms and poli sci. Now I’m an MPA in a world where the rules of public administration crumble before our eyes day after day but those stories are buried by the other 25 unprecedented events of the day.

Got my performance review.

for years when academics warned about the problems with letting media consolidate at the hands of one of two companies people yawned, now every day there's another vivid example of why they were right

New Jersey PBS has to shut down after Trump's attacks on what little public funded media still exists

What’s happening: Napoleon is master of Europe. Go deeper: Only the British Fleet stands before him.
