Actually glad we returned to the US when we did and avoided the growing shortage of air traffic controllers thanks to the government shutdown

Think you mistakenly used a 'b' instead of an 'f' in that 4th word there @npr.org

I think that Bánh mì should be the official food of #BannedBooksWeek 📚 📜

The people that lionize and laud the Punisher and wear his logo are the types of people Frank Castle would happily shoot

Many purported fellow followers of my faith only do so as a fig leaf to disguise their bigotry and hate.

It me! (on both sides of the conversation)

As a South African ex-pat I do not understand this dislike (to be fair I was also taken aback by the xenophobic attacks in South Africa against other African migrants too)

It has been amazing! Sadly we are leaving tomorrow

Two Orcas were in Kalk Bay Harbour yesterday down the road from where I am staying. I do not capture this video but someone who was also there did:

Why didn’t you say hi! Hello how are you?

After a busy day I tuck my very tired child into bed.

“Daddy I need to ask you a question!”
“It can wait until tomorrow darling’”
“No I need to ask you now!”
“Sssh go to sleep my baby!”
Child staggers out of bed: “I have to ask you…”
“What my child?” I ask concerned now,
“Were dinosaurs real?”

Garfield zodiac mug Virgo symbol and Garfield thinking “A Virgo is discriminating practical and finicky. They would never have a red burgundy with tuna liver cat food”

I have had this Garfield mug for over half my life!

He is a few years older than me and I remember kids like him when I was growing up in SA - truly the worst!

He constantly rehashes what passed for wit when he was a youth in South Africa

I usually believe in "slow news" and tend to write about things the next day, but this Kimmel shit is such a mess, I put this together quickly.

Key points: 1. Most people are pretending Kimmel said stuff he didn't.

2. SCOTUS just last year said that you can't do shit like this.

Hi @scumbelievable.bsky.social I am glad to see you back on here!

Still bummed about Red Hood but glad my library has your books!
