How do I know we’re in the bad place?
I saw this headline and my initial understanding was that they were investigating whether *he* had deprived the officers of *their* civil rights.
My only suggestion is that I'd call the twin Clod!
My favorite are the ones that make fake typing sounds while they try to figure out how to respond.
Right before they try to feed it to you.
Baby-led weening is all fun and games until you have to watch your 15-month-old dip his pancake in syrup… and then ketchup. #ActuallyAutistic
If you’re considering a glass whiteboard, just remember that they’re a lot heavier than they look and a lot more difficult to mount than a normal one. Learn from my follies. 😅
That used to happen to me a lot until I started using Dato, which takes over the whole screen with a notification when it's time to start a meeting.

And be ridiculously combative and offensive in the process.
Or redact them to the point of uselessness!
There is nothing like a ride on the new NextGen Acela to make you wish that the US (and North America in general) had a robust high-speed rail network.
Someone should probably tell Charlie’s Wife that “biblical womanhood” is all fun and games until you get turned into a pillar of salt. 🧂

There is little in this world that so thoroughly assaults all five senses as a root canal. What a sensory nightmare. #ActuallyAutistic
Saying that we should focus on the upcoming election rather than learning from the 2024 election is like saying that the disastrous 2024 election was just a fluke, or bad luck, and that we just have to get back out there and keep trying the same things that haven't been working.
*quickly runs to the local bookstore to move the Hunger Games novels from the fiction section to the nonfiction section*
If you went through the Epstein Files that were released today and replaced every redaction with the word, "TRUMP", you would be correct more often than wrong.
Question for married folks with young kids, who travel for work at least a few times a year: how do you split up childcare responsibilities equitably around the times when you’re away?
PSA: You should *always* write a self-review during performance review season, even if it's optional.
It doesn't matter if you have a great manager or a terrible one, you should *never* pass up an opportunity to directly influence your documented performance.

Why do we keep giving them tests? We already know they’re going to fail… again… 🫠
A screenshot of a Reddit post titled, “Where are all the other Puffin Rock parents? Are all of Oona’s friends adults?” The post reads: “So Oona and Baba are clearly young kids and live with their parents. We see Silky's mom and Mama Hedgehog and there are references to other parents, like when the baby starling needs to find her family. Bernie is kind of a local grouchy uncle and Flynne seems kind of like a surly teen. But what's the deal with Mossy and Mae? They appear to be Oona's peers, but Mae seems to live alone and Mossy is with the Shrew Crew. Are they full grown? And what's up with the Hoots? Otto is clearly older than Pip and Pop but it seems more like he's their brother than their dad. But we see them sleeping all the time and there's clearly no parents in their log and Otto seems to be responsible for them. Is Puffin Rock full of orphans? I think about this a lot.” The first comment is: “Look man, it’s a children’s cartoon. That means it’s safe to assume that they have all been either shot by poachers, eaten in the most tragic fashion, or otherwise fallen to their own hubris to which their progeny will soon also fall. Kid stuff.”
One of my favorite things about parenthood so far is reading through the strong thoughts and spicy takes on children’s TV shows and songs from other parents.
I love that we get so invested.
My current favorite:
No, no. Don’t worry! I had a full 10 minutes to observe the Hertz shuttle van driver beforehand! 😂
