Don't get too excited
JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.
Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Well it turns out I never had chicken pox as a kid

You have always got to be ready with these kids, and the questions are never in your area of expertise. I tried to explain the scientific method to my kid on the way to school and he stuck his head out the window
Se llama Eva RamΓ³n Gallegos y es la cientΓfica mexicana que ha conseguido eliminar el virus del papiloma humano, causante de mΓ‘s de 300.000 muertes en el mundo anualmente. Demostrado con personas, no ratones. Ahora preguntaros por quΓ© sabemos de Barbacid y no de esta mujer.

At dinner my kid just straight up asked me what happens to water. No context, and he got mad when I asked clarifying questions. Turns out he meant after you swallow it, and specifically why it goes so bad after you drink it. Kids think deep, man.

We found a 4th egg in #kakapo Waikawa's nest yesterday and found it was fertile. Waikawa has maintained her incredible 100% fertility record: 5 clutches of 4 fertile eggs in 4 breeding seasons. That's unmatched by any other kΔkΔpΕ. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds
Not booing enough
Can confirm the new Muppet Show was delightful, and hit on all the right levels. It was nostalgic for us, and the kiddo loved the music numbers and had a few belly laughs (and recounted a scene for his friend on the way to school). Actual adult humor in a family show! What a concept.
