On the bright side, I bet you feel amazing being able to see crisply again after squinting more and more as the year wore on.
Every day I get a new reason to be grateful that @andrewzahler.bsky.social insisted we not put pictures of our kids' faces on the internet.
“I’m surprised you don’t know this, since you’re a doctor,” I said, “But NOT letting your monkeys jump on the bed actually has far worse consequences. I saw a twenty-seven-part TikTok about it."
Borat. While I was in college. I nearly broke up with my boyfriend because he wouldn't stop.
Also, I'm not sanctimoniously caffeine-free. I'm especially sensitive to it and don't need to turbo-charge my anxiety.
As someone who hasn't had caffeine in 7+ years, I also call BS on this claim that it's easier to get a nice cup of decaf these days. Most places don't brew decaf drip coffee, so I almost always have to get an espresso drink. If I'm at a restaurant, I'll have to wait 20 minutes for them to brew it.
Wait, so do they or don't they want me wearing athleisure to the airport?
They should do MyChart Wrapped
Stop holding your breath everyone, the day is finally here!
Rumi the Whig is a great mashup costume.
But yes, feeling the Rumi-hair-pain. We can't get the damn wig we bought to work. The braid weighs like 10 pounds.
Their house must be sticky.
The real championship was the friends you made along the way
A cooking website I reference often leans way too heavily on clickbait headlines like, "I Can't Stop Making This Easy Fettuccine Alfredo." I'm so sorry for them. I picture one poor reporter, disheveled and dehydrated, surrounded by piles of pasta. Can't stop moving. Always stirring. Never eating.
Screenshot of two chicken dishes from a popular cooking website. The first reads "This 4-ingredient chicken got me out of my dinner rut." The second reads "This 6-ingredient glazed chicken got me out of my dinner rut."
I can only imagine this writer is going to have to shake herself out of her impending rut with 8-ingredient chicken.

"WE MAKE NEWS LOUDER. IF STORY GOOD ON ONE SIDE, SHOW OTHER SIDE TOO. OTHER SIDE WRONG? OTHER SIDE WANT BLEACH IN VEINS? ANIMAL RUN BOTH. REPORT BOTH SIDES. EVEN WHEN ONE SIDE THINK HEAD MEDS MAKE QUIET BABIES."
Gotta include the interaction with the fact that educators are mostly women, paid dismal salaries (as is the case with "feminized" care/child-rearing work), and often have their own crushing caregiving load to contend with at home.
Better than the current alternative, but this fractionalization of public health infrastructure (and our acceptance of it) will result in greater health disparities.
Trans rights are human rights.
The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
If it weren't for the human and ecological consequences, I kind of like the idea of just letting the robots talk to each other while the rest of us carry on with our lives.
A lot has been said about why distraction framing is bad. Another reason: it suggests you think your audience is a bunch of rubes easily captured by whatever crosses their field of vision. In fact, people mostly care about things for real reasons. Distraction framing is condescending.
All that tactical gear - they must have thought he had, like, six or seven sandwiches in there!
Ok, I'm in. One like = one time I look at my phone after it vibrates and think, "Oh, it's not a text. Just a Bluesky notification. Carry on then."
My primary indicator we've reached the floor will be when my neighbor removes the yard sign he's had up for almost a full year.
Everyone should go listen to the Lost Patients podcast right now. Incredible reporting by @willjames.bsky.social and @sydbrownstone.bsky.social that lays out how we got here and what we can expect if this comes to pass. www.npr.org/podcasts/510...
This is excellent stuff. Looking forward to adopting the author's technique when my girls start being exposed to influencers.
Or perhaps onto Cybertrucks
