Georgia voters to pick replacement for Marjorie Taylor Greene in special election The shadow of Greene, who resigned from Congress after a rift with the president, looms large over a crowded contest.

My hope for the world – and especially America – fades when I see probable voters saying things like “she went crazy once she and Trump fell out.” THAT’S when she started thinking she was “off the rails”?!

Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

Although in some fairness I will note that the Australian editing is…very strange by our standards. There are a lot of editing choices that don’t make sense to me, so maybe the storytelling style is relevant (really, because I just can’t fathom everyone is THAT easy to manipulate)

Season two of the traitors Australia is the dumbest group of people who have ever been gathered on planet.

(and I feel bad saying that because obviously the game misses with your head but like Jesus Christ people. I don’t even care who wins this one because they’re all awful)

This is when I had to explain: “if men actually care if they’re doing a fair job, they need to stop comparing themselves to other shitty men and compare themselves to their partners.” [files nails]

100% this. One day my hubs came home & said, “wow these guys at work brag about how they don’t do shit for their babies.” He seemed confused that I didn’t pat him on the back (1/2)

If you’ve already bought your tickets I don’t think they can do anything about that. It’s tickets not purchased yet I’d worry about.

Finally got my diva cat on video doing His Thing (where he meows at me demandingly until I follow him to his food bowl so that I can basically give him a massage while he eats 🤣)
