To me, "lol" at the end reads like nervous laughter at the end of a sentence, which several of my friends do IRL. We're GenX.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

I tell mine "I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you walk away!" Married 8 years and he still blushes when I tell him he has a great butt! 😆

I don't think that's petty at all. They stole your work and are making money from it. You deserve way more than they will give you.

I can't wait!! Do we really get 400 pages of Toby? Woo-Hooo!

Yet he persists in being a gentleman and posing for the camera. Handsome even in lower light!

That's what rulers are for!

Awww, that good boy deserves belly rubs!

Hooray!! I hope this continues!

Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧵

If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

Poorly. Brains work poorly. At least when I need to get things done, and here I am scrolling. 😆

I am a non-sports-watching individual from the other side of the country, and I approve this message.

This is gorgeous! I love Sequoias and Bsky randomly showed me your illustration. I will now go and look at amazing art from a show I didn't know existed five minutes ago. Thank you!

It's a flat out concentration camp.

Only GIF I can find of one of the greatest movies ever made!

I thought its use would fade among us women of a certain age when doing duck face shows all the wrinkles around the mouth, but astonishingly no!

Oh dear! Hope you all land ok at your intended destination!

I hope that the folks who answer this hotline have not been "laid off".

We have a nest of baby house finches in the eaves right next to our back door. Haven't seen the babies yet, but the chirping is adorable!

If you plan to cast this ring as one piece (or even cast the mosquito separately), the legs are far to thin to let the molten metal pour through without solidifying. It's a lovely design, but your instinct to make the mosquito smaller and the legs thicker is a good one.

AAAAHahahahaha!!! I hadn't seen it either, thank you!

Ooh, elegant bird and a great photo!

Do you mean "they" = the Biden family, or "they" = the guy who released a book trashing Biden on the same day as the announcement? A good friend of mine who got regular checkups was diagnosed with stg. 4 prostate cancer last fall. He's recovering from chemo now, and the cancer is receding rapidly.

That's a superpower. I wish I could do that!

Sympathies! I eat at my computer all the time, and after spilling one too many cups of tea into my keyboard, I have a piece of foam taped to the place where the space bar should be. It's a bit of a story. 😆

What the Fuck? That's ridiculous!

before asking "how's that project going??" to any creative, just assume it's going like this

Ken White has posted that the Mayor has been released. There was a big damn protest going on.

Thank you for letting us know right away!

I wonder if she regrets jumping on the "Biden is too old" train.
