Does it create an enclosed space like a mailbox?

Jokes suggesting Trump and Musk are gay seem like a slur, even though some of those jokes are tickling my funny bone.

Somehow I feel like the term “Karen” is kind of a sexist racist slur but the term “clutching pearls” is useful.

My kid: I don’t know how to draw a heart.
Me: you make a triangle on one side and a butt on the other

Me: is a fart a bubble?
My kid: well, technically yes, one that pops.

It just occurred to me that nearly every good thing in this world was spawned by something terrible, real or imagined. Prove me wrong.

I tell my kid “please be 1000% ready” when it’s time to go so they don’t keep me waiting. I try to hold myself to that too. While we should always give each other grace, let’s save the excuses for when we really need them.

Clicking the wrong thing is dum

Typos are dum

If anyone enjoys this kind of thing, I will retract this joke

Cycling a road bike through a grassy field is dum

Clarifying rule: no real self-hatred allowed

New rule: use for self-deprecating humor only

I wanna make some viral
slang. “dum” adj. used to describe something tongue-in-cheek as *so* dumb that it’s not even worth spelling dumb correctly. May only be used for positive humor. Trolls banned.

Shoot me an example of how you would use this.

There’s a huge group of people at a crosswalk and only 1 need to hit the button for us all to safely cross. Ain’t that nice.

I tell my 10 yr old they’re closer to being an adult than a baby. Just thought to myself- I may be closer to death than birth. 😱

At its best, marketing introduces you to products and services that enhance your quality of life. At its worst, it’s a predatory scam. We need guardrails.

6- Green is an awesome color, full stop.

5- I envy Irish soft power. Vietnamese folk have come such a long way, but one can only dream of our own cultural holiday to have a similar magnitude of global reach, and distinguish ourselves from Chinese and others the way Irish distinguish themselves from English, Brits, Scots, etc.

4- I am in awe of the triumphant peace obtained after decades of the Troubles between Catholics and Protestants. It gives me hope for all religious strife worldwide, and also reminds me that conflict is not just a “people of color” thing.

3- Because I’ve been lucky to know some Irish folk, I was lucky to attend my friend’s wedding in Dublin, and it was magical.

Why do I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

1- The cultural soft power is strong in America- including the commercialization- and who doesn’t love a good parade?
2- The Irish people I’ve been lucky to encounter in life have been an absolute joy, starting with Dr. Finnegan at Montgomery College. …..

There are limits to the notion that you gotta break some eggs to make omelettes. Who votes for let’s let the healthcare system fail for the most vulnerable so it marginally works for a slim majority of privileged folk?

For the first time, I blocked a Bluesky follower because they seemed fake. When my popularity takes off, I’m going to need a social media team.
