Yeah, I know, but it's one of the harder parts of being a parent for me, that I didn't anticipate. I thought I'd enjoy watching them grow up. I don't. All I do is worry about fentanyl and fascism.

Well, my kids are under 10, & they're already too aware of what a shit-show they're getting. To me, it's about hoping they keep their bliss as long as possible, and knowing that's not realistic. I look at old toddler photos, & my kids are ALWAYS smiling and giggling. They don't do that anymore.

Sorry. It's dark, but really spoke to me when my kids were toddlers. Maggie Smith does that a lot.

"Good Bones" by Maggie Smith Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

I feel this daily.

It reminds me of my favorite poem since becoming a dad.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

Ah. Thank you! I was so curious I was about to go through old issues.

Why are they posing like that? So bizarre.

I would have said season 4 was the best, but after seeing that series finale, I don't know. It was SO good, it elevated the whole season 5.

Totally agree. That was a perfect finale.

I think it was a really good show. They managed to end it well.

We just got home, and had such a good time. One of my favorite series finales ever. Up there with Six Feet Under. I'm glad we waited to go to the theater today.

Memories are made WITH a couch.

How long before Kid Rock headlines at the Kennedy Center?

"And the day will come, when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.” - Thomas Jefferson

.. and that little boy grew up to become Stephen Miller.

Why is no reporter asking Trump this directly? He called it a hoax several times. It is obviously not a hoax. Any other president would have been asked that simple question. Do journalists just fear him that much, or do journalists no longer have the ambition to be, y'know, GOOD journalists?

Only ≈40% of eligible white voters voted for Trump in 2024. ≈60% of eligible white voters voted for VP Harris, or, sadly, didn't vote at all. I take a modicum of comfort from this. In theory, the majority of Americans arent racist scumbags, just a very small plurality of actual voters in 2024.

Truth.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

I would have thought this is just understood, like plagiarism, but I guess not. 🙁

''I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie.''

Excellent take! It made me laugh after seeing his expression.

Is she trying to get fired? What is the motivation here? I can't believe it's just plain honesty.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Also, would Buscema have gotten paid for the work on the rejected cover, or was he out all that time with no compensation?

Does anyone what the problem was with the Buscema cover?
