Stupid babies are the most nutritious.

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

Mastodon post that reads: Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo. "I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped." The grin on her face.

Meanwhile, over on Mastodon: mastodon.social/@mhoye/11586...

I saw the Kill Bill extended thing in the theater last month where they glued both movies together and added Fortnite at the end, anyway during the intermission my friends and I were stopped by an usher on our way to pee who asked us "did they.. pause the movie???"

ME: Internet, I am sad. Make me happy.

INTERNET: Here are five terrible things. If you come back in an hour, I will have more.

ME: Jesus Christ.
