As someone who has read the full bill from emergency c-section to three weeks of NICU care... You can't even get out of the operating room for under that amount. Even if we don't count the delivery, 90% of that deductible would be gone just from checking into the NICU.

Take one down, sans serif around..
Too many cursed graphic designers walk out of the bar.

My daughter...
Came home from school and pretended to fart on me. So I called her a Frenchman.
She'll get that joke someday.

"The essay isn't the point. The essay is the implied proof that you know how to do the thinking behind the essay."

I often joke that the religion of my birth can be summed up as, "Be Excellent to Each Other, and Party On, Dude!"... but the other big lesson it taught me was - explicitly - ask questions. Ask questions about everything, to everyone.

Well, I just hope that FAFO will provide me a popcorn break soon, then.

Strike me as old-fashioned, but isn't it generally a bad idea to mess with people who are the lynchpins of whether you get money and power or not?

From everything I have seen thus far... I am not convinced this isn't the long-term point.

I have similarly learned that I'm rather good at snatching people and throwing them into a bed for similar reasons.

I'm sure it's not just me, but does anybody else's kid come down with a case of the "tummy feels bad"s right before we're supposed to go on a vacation?

100% stand behind the idea of text only superiority.

I am personally at the point where I don't immediately think about how awful they are as a vehicle.

Nope, my brain goes straight to how awful their drivers must be.

Ambition is necessary for humanity - and often deadly and unfulfilling for a human. Kind of parallels that "a person can be smart, but people are idiots" rule of thumb.

I want to believe that Buttigieg was "centristly audacious" so that Mamdani had the path to be "democratically assertive".

I have no idea if there's any social or cultural link at all, but it's how I like to see it.

Had to share, because it's fun 😎

Not going to share who so as not to self-dox, but I'll say the most famous alumni of my high school was an NFL player who passed junior year geometry thanks to me.
You are welcome, sir.

In related news, my mom always bragged about going to school with Anglea Basset - not that they knew each other.

Once again,
"Oh, look. That thing that everyone said was going to happen happened."

*stares at early special election results*

... Today, I have learned that my neighbors are a lot more selfish than I would prefer.

Gut-healthy juices. Like... the hommade chicken stock you made from the bones of that five dollar rotisserie chicken.

Oop, there's the fourth of July level warzone.
I take it the Seahawks won.

I'm tracking the superbowl exclusively by the amount of fireworks going off in my neighborhood.
The Seahawks are absolutely pegging the Patriots, aren't they?

Being assumed to be in good faith when you're not is actually one of the required pillars in conservatism. It's one of the basic, everyday ways in which there is an out-group who is bound (by convention) and an in-group who is not.

There is power in acurately descriptive language. This is why the Fae are always concerned with names.

I can't get over how no one is commenting that the man's name is literally Calvin Ball.

She's got an excellent team behind her, and she's been in this game long enough that I'm sure she's made sure it's safe enough.
But I could also see her pushing for one more good Olympics before retirement. She's getting up there for her sport, I believe.

Ensure PBS is fully, independently funded for at least the next 50 years. Indefinitely if they play their investment cards like Harvard.

Opening a video game studio to make the games I want to see. I don't care if they're profitable, I just want to play them.

You ever create some characters just to have some fun with friends, and then - years later - bawl your eyes out as you write their inevitable ends togehter?
