I forget what movie, but something I watched as a kid the teenage sister comes home w a streak of dyed hair and says something about a concert and for a while I was under the impression that standing too close to loud speakers would change your hair color

you know that his hoes lived in your house

I was hoping my reference was clear and sure enough

Pioneer Press: "Trump Discovers Trove of Charlie Brown's Hoes in Iran"

He doesn’t foresee anything and there was no process to his decision. It’s just whatever shriveled up moldy batch of neurons makes its way to his weird mouth at the time someone is listening

Pioneer Press front page with headlines including those phrases

People here will put anything in headlines. “Trump foresees.” “How Trump decided.” That isn’t true.

[nods in recognition/familiarity]

This is incredible stuff

I thought you couldn’t turn in a car without using the turn signal, like it wouldn’t physically do it. I guess I didn’t consider curves in the road to debunk that belief…

My partner firmly believed he was inoculated against chicken pox because he had already had goose bumps.

Today that sounds like some kind of fringe antivax position, but no, just kid logic.

A useful reminder that spell check generally ignores text in all caps. Not sure how “United Staes” got through, though—it’s in regular text.

(I mean, I do know: they are sloppy and bad lawyers.)

If you're fast enough with the cap, you can trap your voice in an empty bottle... can't tell you how much time I wasted opening and closing the damn bottle

That is perfect

Had a big illustrated anatomy book growing up that depicted body functions using little worker guys, like veins were highways with blood cell trucks. One day I asked my mom what she was watching, it was a murder mystery where a man had been stabbed. I asked if all the little guys came running out.

We moved when I was 3 and one of my earliest recallable fears was that we would have to move again when my dad grew too tall because I didn’t know people stopped growing.

That the explanations/directives I was given were correct and complete, without important details omitted because most people know them or were logical inferences.

My first bike ride involved 4 yo me, my father, a bike, a very large hill, and a sturdy tree. Not mentioned: steering and brakes.

And yes. (cc @charlottegarden.bsky.social, with whom I have discussed this question)

I haven’t watched the US version yet but I would do almost anything for Claudia and the game design is so good. (And I’m on S3 so don’t spoil that either please.) I would watch conservatively a 12-hour documentary about the show’s production.

When our kids were little we'd leave them with my mom for the week. Win-win-win!

I liked the 2022-2024 vibes pretty well and maybe better than my earliest years (~1996-98)—smaller than the Dorito Machine Stage era, but big enough to still have a big range of folks. Didn’t get there last year (for different reasons). But yeah: curious.

Anecdotal and I don’t have a way to make it anything else, but I think I’m noticing a lot more advertisements for it than previously—I’m *real* curious to see what attendance numbers are like. (I can’t go due to my wife‘s broken arm and other stuff.)

Look, it’s better to be right now than never, but Craig was saying like four days ago that she didn’t regret her vote. Nothing has changed in those four days, so the most likely conclusion is that she realized her view was bad for her electoral hopes, not that she realized her view was bad, period.

Angie Craig: I regret my vote on the Laken Riley Act That regret has "only strengthened my resolve to stand up to the Trump administration’s cruel immigration policies, call out my spineless Republican colleagues and impeach Homeland Security Secretary ...

That original post was supposed to be a quote-post of this, but apparently I messed that up:

www.startribune.com/ice-agent-su...

The Federation for American Immigration Reform and the Association of Mature American Citizens supported the bill.[21][22]

But I'm sure there were some great organizations supporting it, like, uh, the anti-immigration non-profit founded by a white nationalist and the "conservative AARP," well, I can see how Angie Craig got fooled into supporting this, given those powerhouses

From Wikipedia: "The American Immigration Council, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the League of Women Voters, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the National Education Association, the National Organization for Women, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the United Steelworkers, the United Church of Christ, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Council of Churches, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, the Center for Law and Social Policy, and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights all opposed the bill."

If only there was some indication at the time that the Act was bad--wait a minute, I'm being told something--

I could at least play the chorus on the radio for children, but not so much the rest of the song

I think it’s pretty good for a room that size, but it is a pretty big room
