I’m waiting at the pediatrician with my teenager and a TEENY TINY NEWBORN BABY was just called back for their turn and her name is

Maxine.

The old lady names are so back, y’all.

Also— stay for BOTH END CREDITS scenes please and thank you. It’s okay if you’re new; this is how we do it in the MCU. 🫶🏻 Welcome to the family.

No spoilers, but y’all need to go see Thunderbolts* ASAP.

This is the best of what superhero storytelling does for us! (IK they’re antiheroes, I guess I just mean comics writing as a genre.)

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

During his first term, Trump raked in millions from at least 20 foreign governments—violating what Trump calls “the phony Emoluments Clause.”

That’s immediately where my mind went — they keep doing this late at night and on weekends, ON PUPOSE, so even the “12 hours” they grant here barely counts.

a football player for the patriots is talking to a reporter Alt: a football player for the patriots is talking to a reporter “they had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”

You had me going in the first half, for real…

Perfect casting, no notes. 🧑‍🍳 😘

Hi, Mr. Clark! I’m a parent to a WKU sophomore and I enjoy following the WKU Herald online. It’s great to see student journalism flourishing on the Hill! I think I found you here when I was searching for WKU accounts. 😊

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

This Rivian family is very happy with our R1T and (even though my teenagers and I *do* enjoy “boo”ing every Tesla we see driving around town…) this is a great deal!

Pete Hegseth must resign.

Are they still on the search for “waste fraud & abuse,” because uhhhh….

I’m all grown up, but these pictures still made me super happy.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Marie Antoinette had “Let them eat cake,” and Donald Trump has “Let them roll eggs.” 😐

As Trump cuts federal funds, here's which Kentucky school districts could be hit hardest Federal funding makes up anywhere from 2% to 35% of per student spending at school districts across Kentucky.

Trump's education cuts steal $2,000 from EVERY Kentucky student — and even more from our vulnerable children.

His administration punishes children in poverty, with disabilities, and experiencing homelessness the hardest.

Don't let the KY GOP lead you to believe they care about Kentucky's kids.

The pre-stamped “refused to sign” line seems super legit and hard to fake too. /s

The Women Stayed – An Easter Sermon (Sermon based on Matthew 28:1-10 preached at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Millersville on Easter Sunday 2019. You can hear a podcast of the sermon here.) How many times have we heard it? H…

Because on Good Friday, the women who had been Jesus’ disciples, His funders and patrons and who’d fed and cared for him and his crew… they stayed.

A purple t-shirt with white lettering says, “Junia & Lydia & Chloe & Phoebe & Apphia & Nympha & Priscilla.” In the background, a small magenta orchid and a yellow candle sit on a black table.

Good Friday feels like a fine day to wear my shirt celebrating the women who led in New Testament churches.

NBC News: A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it

Reuters: US FDA suspends food safety quality checks after staff cuts April 17, 2025

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other.

This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

I think many of us were holding our breath for him because ack.

I bet his staff had frank talks about the risks, but that makes the fact that he went anyway all the braver.

Taking “constituent services” to the max. Well done, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.

That was my thought too. But still: thanking God for proof of life as an important next step and praying that they’ll all be home soon. May this be the moment the tide turned.

Feels like a good time to be reviewing the Geneva Conventions

My youngest is a 13-year-old 7th grader who insists that she’s “really more Gen Z” because her siblings are 19 & 16 so she “was raised with Gen Z influences.”

She is “weirded out” by the 6th graders at her school because they’re soooooo Gen Alpha. (which apparently means they use weird slang) 🤣

Oh, what a relief to see this.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.

It’s about racism.

It’s about state terror.

It’s about dehumanization.

Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.
