@betsyphillips.bsky.social I need you to know I gave the dog a whole relaxing treat just as the plumber arrived. The dog barked, but then quickly turned around for butt scritches.

I had just decided not to run the dishwasher overnight because I’m paranoid about it leaking and I didn’t want to have to deal with it.

The weekend ended with the water leak sensor going off and me having to frantically empty out the under sink cabinet because the garbage disposal chose to start leaking at 9 pm. I couldn’t shut the alarm off, so I had to call Stephen. Who is currently six hours ahead.

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

He also does this to our contractor, a really nice guy we’ve worked on and off with for three years. I wonder if we need to try letting him bark at you in the yard instead like we did for Paige and Patrick recently.

The dog was given half of some kind of calming treat today and it is no joke. He still got up to be nearby when I pulled the meat off a rotisserie chicken, and he still barked at @betsyphillips.bsky.social when she dropped something off in the driveway, but otherwise he’s extremely relaxed.

I graduated from my alma mater 21 and 20 years ago. I have repeatedly corrected them to use "Ms." instead of "Mrs." They persist. Now that most of our professors have retired, we won't donate again until they fix it.

Beeeeeeeeeees

Well, there’s a certain honestly in naming the model after a woman who’s work was stolen by less talented men.

picking over the corpse of the economy, what a great look.

It was just my hypothesis in 2008/2009 but then an acquaintance lost her child this way in 2018 and I knew for sure.

If you are under economic stress this summer and have a child too small to get out of the car themselves, put something you need at your destination at their feet. Every time.

It is annoying enough to have to coordinate putting things out so they aren't ruined by the elements + the intended recipient is running late and has left my follow up message on read. I'm tired!

I know she saw my other posts! She commented on one!

God grant me a sliver of the audacity.

I put a bunch of hangers curbside on Buy Nothing. A day later, I list a wheeled cart on Buy Nothing & quickly marked it pending. Someone just posted on my hangers post asking me to bring the cart in from the rain so she can try AGAIN to get it tomorrow.

She wasn't. The person. I put it out for.

Girl, the solution to "the system is exploiting and replacing us" isn't "get a new system that can exploit and replace us". What are we even doing here? You can't fight for women if you're fighting for the technology that will run them out of the workplace.

Hot car deaths.

I saw one nearly plow into the side of a turning delivery truck in Rosebank a few weeks ago.

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.

Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

It’s cool how the people who control the US government right now just openly take it as a personal attack when the Pope says something like “God will not reward evil men”

Since I went to college an hour away, I've driven through Cairo a few times (most recently in the hours before the total solar eclipse). There's a special place in hell for those who exploit the people who remain in shrinking towns.

3D-Printed Homes, an Abandoned $590,000 Deposit, the FBI: What Really Happened in This Small Town? Two men promised a $1.1 million 3D printer could fix Cairo, Illinois’ housing crisis. More than a year later, the one duplex it printed still isn’t finished. And the more we asked questions, the weird...

"He told me Prestige was named after the fictional do-nothing company in the Will Ferrell comedy 'Step Brothers.'"

"'It’s just stupid,' he said. 'I’m not like some big serious whatever.'”

This type is bone-chillingly familiar to everyone living in a disinvested shrinking city.

At least this isn't happening at midnight or during a protest?

Hmm, wonder which article I’d trust more - the one from NPR or the one from Jeff Bezo’s “Trump Dick Sucking Propaganda Machine ™”

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.
