Parenting, sports and everything nerdy. I was the dad blogger at Thirsty Daddy back when people read stuff and thirsty meant that you needed a drink.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

When you join the #Lakers do they give you an instruction manual about flopping or does that come straight from Lebron? #NBA

🚨 NEW VIDEO πŸ‘‡πŸ½This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

Screenshot of a post on X by Matt McDermott (@mattm…) stating that ICE reportedly slashed officer training from five months to 47 days to flatter Trump’s ego as the 47th president. The post adds that recruits arrived without full vetting, including with criminal records, failed drug tests, and not meeting basic standards. Below is a link preview and excerpt from a Daily Beast article describing ICE training being reduced and framed as a tribute to President Trump.

They’re hiring goons, arming them to the teeth and unleashing them on our streets.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

I understand they are focused on potential NFL futures but UCONN football's probable best QB and best WR ever not playing in this bowl game takes a lot of the fun out of it #UCONN #WasabiFenwayBowl

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record. Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

NEW: Today we published a new investigation into something happening largely out of view: immigrant kids getting separated from their families and placed in federal shelters, in some cases after something as mundane as a traffic stop🧡 1/

taking a break from vacuuming because my back started to hurt and was thinking about how if I won the lotto the 1st thing I'd buy is a good vacuum cleaner. Being a grown up is so dumb

If us old folks disapprove of relationships with AI, are the kids going to call us "robophobic"? I feel like they are

the difference between regular and budget store cling wrap is too vast. I need a more moderate level of clinginess than either of these options provide
