Unsolicited idea to make the NFL better. Helping another player advance the ball (i.e. the tush push) is only legal if the player with the ball is on the shoulders of the helping player.

I thought my son and I were the only ones who saw the second Lavalantula movie

I have limited experience with the Northern Lights, but for impressive atmospheric events, give me a lightning storm any day (or night)

I wish all my colleagues were so understanding

Who do they think they are. George Lucas. Not looking forward to the prequels

Gas went up 70 cents since Thursday. Makes you wonder what's in the Epstein files

I'm assuming the major questions doctrine doesn't apply to the War Powers Act. At least not when there's a Republican president

When my wife's sick is the time I most understand that keeping our family running is a full time job

We have prisons here that'll work just fine if we have the resolve to do what needs to be done

Nice. But maybe Mr and Mrs Shark Lady?

Even if it's true we have to keep it up for years and years, can't get complacent

Hopefully it doesn't end the way the Lindbergh case did

Not sure anyone talking about birthrates is a thinker

This is what I came here to say. Trying to find comps has almost ruined reading for me (not quite but it's not helping)

Will they take care of your deer carcass during hunting season too?

Good for Kentucky and their high court

I don't think I've seen Roberts drop shade on a dissent like footnote six. No? @williambaude.bsky.social

I'm pretty sure nobody picked by the NYT for an article is a normal person

Seems like they're suggesting a warm potato salad is more appealing than a socialist?

In the end it's good to participate now and maybe have an impact on who's selected, but there is only one reasonable answer once that choice is made. No MAGA

You don't have to keep selling it. I already want ICE to stop what it's doing

Is this that house in Fargo? I might've used to live down the street. Or maybe this is more common than I thought

Wait until high school. You'll get an email from the school about an "incident" and you'll ask what it was. "I dunno" they'll say, and later you'll find out they evacuated the school bc someone tried to blow up a toilet with firecrackers

Thankfully the art collection we're leaving our kids comes from thrift stores and if they don't like it, I'm sure a thrift store will happily sell it again

So they'll change it asap, right?

Yes the LA area is big and sprawling, and yet you're so close to so many different things at the same time

When you get to be my age, most of the music you listen to is classic(al). I have CDs older than my children

It's still pretty cool

I still remember working at El Pollo Loco in the early nineties and grabbing two bags of hot corn tortillas and salsa for my snack over breaks. Best thing we made

Wait until he goes to college and someone mentions a coffee table and he'll wonder how his invented term became widespread
