It’s still hard for me to believe that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are still alive and that they’re both younger than Harrison Ford.

My teen just said to me: β€œOne of my favorite dinosaur artists has already made stickers for the new spinosaurus” and I have never loved her more.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that French fries, served cold, suck ass.

Driving a morning carpool of teenagers helps crystallize why we don't encourage children to take up a coffee habit.

Anti-DHS protesters in LA moved a huge dumpster, partially blocking agents in their building.

So happy to see a different presentation of autism in Dr. Melissa King on β€œThe Pitt” this season! It’s fun to see how the writers are dropping little hints with each episode. S2E4’s food sensitivity description is exactly what my ASD kid has, too! πŸ‘πŸ» #thepitt

β€˜Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts Makers take a stand through β€˜Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit β€œMelt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

We need a "LIVE AID" for Antifa. @brucespringsteen.net should organize it.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

rare to get such a clear glimpse into the mind of someone whose response to problems in his personal life was to blame black people

Teenspeak is adorable. β€œYou know someone was having fun writing that prompt,” they say, reading aloud from an egregious blog post that was clearly composed by AI.

Right, yes! It's like a photo in my mind that I can jump right back into for a split second. And I'm like, why am I remembering that?! It's so weirdly random!

Does anyone else have brief brain flashes of places they once visited? Like I’ll be doing something mundane and suddenly I flash back to a pharmacy I visited in rural France. Or I’ll remember walking to a subway stop in Queens. The places I remember are so random & insignificant though. It’s weird.
