My nearly 2 year old has discovered knock knock jokes and invented one that's kinda funny?

2yo:Knock knock
Me: who's there?
2yo: Owl
Me: Owl Who?
2yo: (giggling) HOO!

Quick reminder (especially for GenZ and those who haven't spent their lives in cubes) that when you're reading printouts of threaded emails, you start from the bottom.

We've seen this administration and Trump specifically lie about literally everything even when there is direct evidence right in front of their face... We re-elected him as a Felon... Like what is the actual next step if these Epstein files are released and there's irrefutable evidence there?

I don't want anyone to interpret this as not wanting consequences to come to Trump, but my serious, earnest question is this:

If those files have incredible evidence of Trump doing (more) horrible things, what are we expecting to happen? He's clearly not going to resign...

I judge people who sit at the window seat and never have an ounce of curiosity to inspire them to look out the window a single time during the flight.

My exact thoughts. If I die of some kind of water-borne brain parasite, avenge me.

Just filled up my water at one of those bottle filling stations at the airport instead of spending $7 for a bottle of water... And the water was WARM. Ew

Saw someone post that they didn’t want to take any aurora photos because it was clichΓ©, everyone’s doing it

The sky’s full of mystical dancing lights, from particles miles above us, excited by a burp from our local star. You’re allowed to be excited about cool shit, and this is especially cool shit

emailing in a semi-literate manner isn’t a sign of stupidity, it’s another form of rich asshole arrogance because you don’t think you owe anyone coherent thoughts

Oddly enough, there was research earlier this year that did say that it was incredibly ineffective as a pain reliever. That may actually be true.

Do all gross white dudes write emails in those styles? Why am I agonizing over my tone and word choice when they get to just vomit stream of consciousness?

Shower thought: I never understood the phrase "seeing things anew through your child's eyes" when becoming a parent but now I 100% do.

Every time I see something even remotely interesting my first thought is "Look! A rock/tree/puddle/stars/random object/shiny thing"

OMG I just read this entire thing, it makes so much sense. Adults I know do not "read" they just assume they know what something says. Wow wow wow.

It is SO funny that he is literally going through Joyce's tweet one piece at a time and trying to refute it. This one is supposed to satisfy "...references to history."

Some restaurants perfectly curate a playlist to keep a demographic engaged while eating. In my soul, I knew that one day, a playlist would eventually hit all of my post-college-not-quite-an-adult-yet musical nostalgia...

... but I didn't assume it would be a Guy Fieri restaurant.

Ordered an IPA at a Vegas bar. Tastes super weird. Look up said IPA online. It's infused with grapefruit juice. The menu did not mention that, lol.

Pedantic reminder to media and headline writers; Angus King is not a Democrat, he's an Independent.
