My (somewhat but not really) relevant hot take: None of the Dems running for governor will earworm me with "I Think We're Alone Now" every time their name is mentioned so on that point alone they are all better than the GOP alternative

Completely irrelevant hot take for today: Hmm: expression of concern, uncertainty, or pause Hum: a continuous low sound, as in music Today's usage: "So I guess ONE OF US WILL BE RIGHT NEXT TUESDAY AND THE OTHER WILL BE AN IDIOT AND WE ALL KNOW WHICH ONE IS WHICH...hummmmm. 🤔..." No.

Black Sheep has a lot of good things including the curds and it has been a minute since I've sat at the bar and had some snacks and a glass of wine (I'd probably go n/a now but I should go back)

The one exception is the pancake batter curds at Black Sheep. Phenomenal.

When my kid (who was perfectly average in speech development) was 2.5 I documented this conversation: "Where Mama hair?" Me: "Right here." (I point.) "Where Mama chin?" Me: "Here it is!" (I point.) "Where Mama solidarity?" Me: "Uh...." (He raises his fist.) 1/2

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

I am very jealous of Michigan right now, they get to be done

Tuesday is breakfast-for-lunch day at work and I'm adapting the New York Times chocolate babka recipe and making a bonkers kiddie cereal babka. This will either be amazing or a complete disaster, there is no in between. Stay tuned?

The daughter of a law school classmate ended up in the ICU in fall 2021, after getting covid from school. She was 7 and had no known health conditions, but was too young for the vaccine at that time. The school refused to implement any mitigations when the kids came back. (She's doing well now.)

People have been retrofitting in "the lockdowns were bad for my children!" and you know what else would have been bad for your children? Long COVID, for one, yeah, but also 'living the rest of their lives knowing they killed their grandparents.'

Folks my mentee has some of the best questions, ranging from “how do I get my name out there and build a niche for myself” to “how do we burn this character and fitness system that stigmatizes mental health and targets black, brown, and poor people to the ground” The kids* are all right

Googling "John Smith MD Milwaukee" up until a year ago got you his work page and contact information, LinkedIn, maybe an article they wrote or were featured in Googling "John Smith MD Milwaukee" now gets an AI summary where he might be a chiropractor and graphic novelist in Ohio Thanks, Google

Today is the 28th anniversary of my first marriage And the 8th anniversary of the time I used that as an icebreaker when I gave a presentation about dealing with jerks (sorry Vince)

Update: dough (which has been infused with cereal milk) is rising and I'll make some white chocolate ganache for the filling that will also include Fruity Pebbles and Lucky Charms marshmallows

I am staying at a hotel that I stayed in in 2024 and as soon as I walked into a bathroom I remembered "oh this goddamned shower" It's one with an immovable half-door that will not allow me and my short arms to turn on the shower without standing in it and getting blasted with cold Why?

Update: I shut off my phone completely and that was the right call

There is nothing quite like walking through Union Station on lollapalooza weekend to remind you that you are old and were never cool

Name your fav sword.

I got divorced in 2005. I have not lived with my ex since 2004. We are both married to other people and live in different states. Why am I getting spammy/phishy calls for him on a phone number I got in 2010?

I have to do something that will take 20 minutes (and I need to do it tonight and then I don't need to do anything else today) and I have procrastinated way more than 20 minutes in getting this done why

I'm going to a client party on Wednesday and there is a small-but-not-zero chance the bosses who fired me in 2010 when I was 8 months pregnant will be there. What should I say to them? I'll take right and wrong answers.
