I love Houston

how did my man make LENTILS look gross

I’ve gotten my daughter hooked on the Beatles cover album for children by the guy from the presidents of the USA, which I feel like is kind of bizarrely heavy on tracks from the white album

did a toddler green light this podcast episode

This post has ruined my husbands entire weekend, as I’m now on my like hundredth time saying the phrase “pumpkin patch for DINKs”

people in Durham are on the precipice of having TOO much fun with bumper stickers

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (pumpkin pie loss leader season at Costco)

investing my life savings in my new venture, “pumpkin patch for DINKs”

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

this is the classic power move of a manager who works about an hour a day but wants to create the impression they are working from sunrise to sunset

Just sitting around waiting for a guy to die of natural causes

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

as a very low info voter for this cycle does anyone want to tell me who to vote for in the Durham mayoral and city council primaries. I have some tentative choices but have to admit I barely know what’s going on rn.

Great things going on at the Durham Wikipedia page

This morning my 2 year old combined two boxes to make a “garbage truck” she was driving around (one was the lift, natch) then she told me actually it was a bagel delivery truck and told me to take a bagel and when I did she revealed I had actually eaten a bagel out of the garbage!!!!!!!

This Claire’s closing notice I saw on Reddit this morning is so incredible

We’re so fucking back

Mike don’t threaten me with a good time

starting my thread of ~ 👻 ~ 𝖘𝖕𝖔𝖔𝖐𝖞 𝖘𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖔𝖓 ~ 🎃~ watches for the year

took our daughter out to dinner at a bar where they’re playing “…and out come the wolves”, another victory for my husband

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl

You have to forgive Taylor she’s been ensnared by the horrific trap of loving a man from northeast Ohio

Between this, the epstein list, obsession with trans kids playing sports, & neverending conspiracy theories about what's going on in schoolsin general, you realize that the primary concern of the Republican party and its supporters is their deep desire to abuse children

I updated my phone to the newest version of iOS which I think has done something to the keyboard or the autocorrect to result in me making like 10x as many spelling mistakes. Or my severe COVID brain damage is finally revealing itself. Impossible to tell.

The promotions and tenure committee in any academic department can be thought of as basically the opposite of a union, where your coworkers work together to potentially get you fired

The proliferation of online disinformation targeted at women, which falsely claims that the most effective forms of woman-controlled contraception are dangerous, is an underrated part of the right’s weaponization of epistemic collapse.

this is the only holiday content I want to see

I do agree that New York City gas stoves are poorly regulated. we need jackbooted EPA troops going door to door ripping those things out by force, and replacing them with induction. (throw in some free pans if you don't have the right ones)

Radical ties get you suspended at #UNC Chapel Hill—unless they’re to the Confederacy, in which case they get you $2.5 million to build a shrine to a secessionist monument. 🤔 #academicsky

It’s crazy living in a time when so many adult me are out in public saying they need like a 12 step program for yanking on their dick. Are you 12 bro.

If a young person today was time traveled back to my youth the amount of dead prez they’d be listening to at parties combined with sparks black would kill them instantly

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Have they tried defragmenting Congress?

It’s honestly smart to have something like this to screen out people who can’t identify a joke

Remember, the Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Colorado seems to single handedly be keeping the dream of the self serve frozen yogurt place alive

I can’t wait to get my med bed card to admit me to the new med bed hospital. This is what’s going to fix me.

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

as a always flu shot getter it’s always interesting to me how the flu shot is often where even generally vaccine-friendly people lean antivax

Trump is building a personalist regime where every university must bend the knee or lose funding and every business must bend the knee or face tariffs, H-1B fees, and regulatory blackmail. You can't cover each domain in isolation; they are all the same story.

it pisses me off so bad when a transit agency doesn’t fare cap or where they have some sort of unclear way to get linked into the system that fare caps

I think you can divide the US into cities where 1) everyone wears blundstones (Durham obviously in this group) and 2) no one wears blundstones and frankly I’m shocked I haven’t seen anyone other than me wearing blundstones in Denver

nobody on earth wishes you more harm than the people in power and their financial backers

rebranding Medicare for all as medbeds for all and winning all 50 states

the pro-life comments from klein really are galling because despite his constant hectoring about persuasion, klein doesn't make any attempt to explain why he thinks pro-life democrats can win back red/purple seats. he presents it as a given without making the case.

one of the major problems with trying to navigate any major us city on foot arises as soon as you need to use a bathroom. what is it like to live somewhere where using the bathroom isn’t illegal.
