I remember when non-stick first came out, and it's amusing to me now .. because the ads then were like, "It's more healthy, because you don't need all of the fat (oil/butter/etc) to be able to take your food off the pan!" And now it's more healthy to use that fat again.

Did anyone else see the Epstein files that were released yesterday?

Or is Noem's firing effectively covering up that news.

Because... hoo boy, these files directly put Trump into the SA field.

Ok. Time to get used to the words, β€œPresident Vance”.

Me: Noem's been fired!
Mom: Couldn't happen to a worse person.

Oh, mom also complains about my purple hair.

Grandma had a lot of interesting ideas for sure. :)

Mom: this guy would be good looking if not for his hair.
Micah: what’s wrong with his hair?
Mom: it’s too long.
Me: you’ve met your son, right?
Mom: I don’t like his hair either!

I had to watch that three times to figure out whether it was anti-muslim or commenting on the Christian Nationalism going on right now. I'm still not sure.

Yes, I know they say so at the end, but.... I'm still not sure.

Me: where is he located?
My 86 year old usually prudish mother: Tex-ass?
Me: wait. Mom. Did you just say Tex-ass?
Mom: I did.

We are at rising unemployment rates. This is a rule that would just render a lot of people unhoused.

I'm definitely putting this on the company channel :)

There was a bad choice made by humans somewhere in this process. Seriously, I blame AI for a lot, but I've never seen it do this. And yeah, I work with this exact thing professionally. Like, I work on software that supports interpretation, and we do have an AI option.

You know, I work for a company that can fix this.

I just donated.

What is happening to trans people in Kansas is a horrifying, dehumanizing breach of their human rights.

Absolutely disgusting.

Shame on Kansas.

It feels like there's maybe a solution for this, that perhaps Democrats can enact when they have the reigns. Or that they COULD have enacted when they had the reigns. Or that when SuperPACs were allowed, PEOPLE WARNED THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

I saw a dude comment on a neighborhood forum somewhere, "Hey liberals, now that Trump has won, how's that working out for ya?"

Uhm, that's really not the own that you think it is, dude. Really, how's that working out for you?

I’m at a bar downstairs from rehearsal before it starts. A dude struck up a conversation with me.
Me: yeah, I’m from Pittsburgh.
Dude: Shitsburgh?
Me: no, no, it’s not.
Dude: I went to school in Bethany, WV with guys from Shitsburgh, so I can call it that.

I can see why you’re single, dude.

It's OK, we got our own keys around our neck. We'll just hole up with our neighborhood buddies and play D&D or Atari while drinking from the garden hose and raiding the snack cabinet. We're used to being on our own.

Every time I see a headline like this, I wonder if I'm having a stroke.

Apparently we didn't have a snowstorm, we had a snowsherm.

I was heading into the gym, so no. :)

I did get all giddy and tell the people at the counter about it though. They laughed.

Some teen just called me β€œMom” under his breath as if insulting me. I’m beaming though. I’m old enough to be his grandma.

my favorite past time when talking to much younger men is to give them advice on wooing women that is really just care and feeding instructions for iguanas
