Idk man whomst among us hasn't spent seven years in our dream job before deciding to blow it all up on complaining about imaginary transgender coworkers we don't have Highly relatable tbh

My mom called from Anchorage this morning. Mom: "I'm letting you know you should be concerned about me. They put out a heat advisory for today." Me: "What's it gonna be, 75?" Her: "Yes... I think they were just feeling left out by everybody else's heat advisories."

I'm not an expert so maybe I'm way off base here but if I thought all these things about a team then I would simply not buy that team

if this is going to be the line then fuck these guys

Look, friends. I know that you don't think it's much. But the NYT Puzzles app is very much propping up the NYT's ideologically driven hate campaign against trans people. You gotta let your streak go. There are so many other puzzles out there you could be playing that won't fund hate.

you're worried about your streak ending i'm worried because thanks to the nytimes normalizing anti-trans rhetoric, i won't be able to renew my passport, be careful which states i even consider traveling to, watch as more and more "allies" who "don't hate" regurgitate bigotry and right-wing framing

You may recall the case where Lynne Freeman sued Tracy Wolff for writing a YA set in Alaska where the male lead was hot and broody, just like in Freeman's book. This litigation went on for three years before a judge finally read both books and said there was zero infringement.

12yo: “Ugh, I hate when they don’t put what’s on the TV on that bar at the bottom of the screen and I have to wait til the ads are over to find out what’s on.” Me, an Xennial: “Oh, my sweet child.”

Nobody would be hungry, for starters

Obviously a tad biased, but we’d be doing a lot better as a nation if under the rule of Jewish grandmothers, or a Bubbeocracy.

Zito@zeets.bsky.social · 2w ago

I’m going to write an essay about not caring about adaptations are faithful retelling of the books, because what I’m more interested in is what the writers and directors can do with it. Literary nerds making that complaint is as annoying as comic book nerds whine about it.

Family hotel room hangout for a dance competition weekend and 10yo asks to put on "How to Train Your Dragon." @sethpartnow.bsky.social: "I didn't agree to this movie." 10yo: "So? It's not like you're going to pay attention."

Top 10 Cyclospora questions

The cyclosporiasis foodborne outbreak continues to grow, and individuals are left to figure out how to weather this storm until government systems catch up.

Went to pick my kids up from dance and there was a table of people at the cafe next door sitting outside having a working lunch, just inhaling big happy lungfuls of smoke air. I cannot stress enough what a bad idea this is.

Maybe the Midwest is currently cloaked in wildland fire smoke because of decades of greedy, cynical, systemic politicization of the climate crisis. Maybe it’s because I already prepped gallons of corn salad for today’s now-canceled dance school pool party. I guess we’ll never know.

Listeria, btw, is the reason pregnant women are cautioned against eating lunch meat, soft serve ice cream, soft cheeses, and sushi. Listeriosis can cause miscarriage and stillbirth. Very pro-life.

Ryan Marino, MD@ryanmarino.bsky.social · 11mo ago

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

It’s a million degrees. The vegetables are not safe. There’s only one lunch that makes sense.

A great way to deal with stress and anxiety is helping. Rephrasing this question: Who WANTS to go to the Sparks-Lynx game today? Twin Cities locals do you have a daughter who would love to go but things are tight, or know someone in that situation? I will buy two lower level tickets, DMs open

"Welcome, delegates. Before we begin, I’d like to congratulate everyone on another successful year of making children’s shoe sizing completely incomprehensible."

Maybe they should just practice locking the door and turning off the lights and remaining silent while hiding under their desks…or is that just appropriate for kindergartners?

"It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline" correct, survivors often feel compelled to disclose when the men who harmed them are about to get a lot of power, that's not a conspiracy against the men, it's a rational fear turned action

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election
