Nuance has definitely been lost for many people. The priorities and values of people in different places will be different, and what is considered a "progressive" candidate in some states would be considered "conservative" in others. Politicians need to match their community's values.

I fell asleep with this song running in my head. It was a good night.

Today is a bad day to be a Republican electoral candidate. It's almost like actively starving your constituents and destroying their healthcare isn't popular.

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

The faster cringey adults embrace it, the faster the "youths" will abandon it.

Give it 15 years and global warming will (unfortunately) take care of that. Heck, in my state we used to have snow on the ground all winter long and now we are lucky to get one meaningful storm a year.

And Donald Trump abuses the presidency. But haven't seen a goddamn one of those rotten souls do a thing about that.

I'll take a hundred thousand "SNAP abusers" over a single Republican politician and say.

For anyone who might not know, homestarrunner.com is in fact revived and active to celebrate 25 years. They somehow managed to still have the "flash-era website" vibe.

A photo of a Halloween doormat that says "BEGONE"

Never before have I identified so strongly with a doormat.

A jellyfish drawing. Green marker ons a yellow paper. The jellyfish has tentacles that are scribbled very chaotically. In combination with two eyes that are simply big circles with single dots in the middle and a very tiny smile, the jellyfish looks stressed out and erratic.

I believe this jellyfish my kid drew perfectly captures my mental state these days.

As a parent to a chaotic 5yo and a messy teen, I am so jealous of those clean floors in the background.

Are watermelons the original AI company?

Every year, Hank makes an obscene amount of Hanklerfish. And every year they sell out pretty much immediately. And then Hank feels bad and makes MORE, or at least debates it.

Makes me wonder, how many Hanklerfish does Hank need to make to completely meet demand?

Just informed my 5 year old that if he touches the paper shredder, it will eat his fingers.

Do we need the "days since Hank Green started a new thing" guy to start a "ThingsHankGreenIsFrom.com"?

This is amazing

I've learned that long words are almost always the "another word is in this word" trend as the category so I automatically try to find a connection between all the long words' "sub-words". It works an annoying amount of the time.

I just had to go back and look at my Connections because I had already figured out the clue of that category and didn't even read the full word before clicking it.

Hank I wanted to argue with you but then my YouTube feed just suggested a Vlogbrothers video titled "HUMPING THE TOWN".

I mean it's still better than publishing a book admitting to murdering the family dog. But probably still a little bit of a roadblock.

Funny, I'm reading this while standing in the grocery store deli line and having a hot flash.

A screenshot of a Google related image search showing tons of horrifying screaming goat pillows.

WHY IS THIS APPARENTLY A THEME?! WHO WANTS THESE???

A screenshot of a Temu ad. The ad features a square pillow with the face of a goat or ram. The goat has its mouth wide open, teeth bared. It is screeching in horror. It's eyes are wide and bugged out. The pillow background is blue and floral. The ad states it is 2D flat printing, not embroidery, despite the pillow appearing embroidered.

Thank you, Temu and Pinterest, for providing the subject of tonight's nightmares.

And I'm sure a high likelihood of missed doses and unreliable treatment.... Leading to more cases of drug resistance. Awful.

What will he solve first? World hunger or curing TB worldwide?

Or maybe he will start a freeze dried taco business.

I described Hank today as "the most successful example of weaponizing ADHD for good" to my therapist when trying to explain the app to her.

Every time I see you post "no" it just ruins my day. 🙁

Me: I'm gonna take a day off just to relax by myself.

My kid: That's great and all but have you tried Hand, Foot & Mouth disease?

I've really been enjoying the break from doom & gloom on my tiktok fyp as it has been replaced with 90% "lizard. Lizard. Lizard." And Jet2 Holiday

something I have always been "ok with" in apps is ads that are entirely on my terms and are not "necessary" for good gameplay. For instance the option to "watch an ad to double bean's knitting speed for 1 hour". Not sure if it would be worth it to add and what others would think but just a thought.
