Two weeks later we’re still here

I know everyone says their preschooler is super into Gordon Lightfoot but idk man my preschooler is like REEEEALLY into Gordon Lightfoot

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I can raise my kid a Cleveland baseball fan but here… the body remembers

This Kind Of Smart, Walkable, Mixed-use Urbanism Is Illegal To Build In Most American Cities

one of those 'drowning doesn't look like drowning' PSAs, but it's just a picture of me sitting in a chair

Absolutely my lucky day at jury duty, polished this off right before I was dismissed and promised $27 for my non-precious time

honored to be a dad

Imagine hating Black people so much you don't want clean milk or healthy kids.

The Pope literally used one of his last moments on Earth to scold JD Vance for his unchristian policies towards migrants and refugees. This lapsed catholic appreciates that more than I can verbalize.

The people running our country are evil.

this unironically fucking rules

Finally got the go-ahead to post my rejected theme song for Halt And Catch Fire. IT’S THEIR LOSS

they should invent a weekend that is restful

MAJOR BREAKING: Pope Francis has written a letter to US Bishops saying he’s following “major crisis” of “mass deportations;” takes on Vance saying “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan”

I'm coming to think that "cringe" is the most toxic impulse in leftist discourse. It belittles sincerity. Sincerity is good!

I am simply too pretty and thick to be expected to know this much about tariffs, is the thing.

Good news you guys

To The Young Who Want to Die by Gwendolyn Brooks Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here--through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

there's a LOT of shitty things happening right now and a lot of people feel hopeless or like giving up. I like poetry at times like this.

Don't. Give. Up.

A death sentence for children

Which obviously means nothing in post-Sandy Hook post/current-gaza times but, man.

The lack of magic European pasta is definitely our problem, not the way we get from A to B for damn near everything.

My seasonal affective disorder increases with sunshine. There are glares on all my screens and dust EVERYWHERE? Clouds would never

We are stranded on a hostile planet that's orbiting a treacherous star. Everyone and everything we love dies. But yes, I am ready for some football
