Oh, this is GORGEOUS. Orange is also my favorite color and this just delights me.
This feels VERY disrespected to actual corgis, who would surely like to be excluded from the narrative
Given the realities of our current situation, I’m not actually sure anyone can come up with fake news headlines that aren’t at least a little plausible sounding theses days
Have children so that, one day, you too can make the transition from “mama” to “mom” to (checks notes) “brotato salad”
Sometimes I enjoy watching in real time as people try to connect with me about how to integrate AI into my work and then quickly realize that I am a deeply dedicated AI hater.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
I am not good at puzzles but here is one of the reasons I like them: if you have a puzzle out in a communal space, everyone will stop for a little while to work on it, even teenagers
I read all the comments and I was still off in my guess by thousands of dollars. Good lord.
It is a risk you should take, I think
Here’s a lesson I wish more men would internalize: just because a guy is cool to you and maybe even nice to your wife/daughters doesn’t automatically make him a “good dude”. How he talks about and thinks about and votes about women he doesn’t know matters too and often says more about his character
Sweet Lego art from my baby ❤️
Jeez, what were the image options they rejected to land on this mess? Yikes
My soul just died a little for him... or it would have if it wasn't such a well deserved take down
It's snowing hard right now, with big fat flakes. I love watching it out the window and feeling like I'm living in a snow globe. I'm meant to live in Minnesota, I think.

I fully agree
I currently have three kidney stones. 0/10, no stars, do not recommend
Short track speed skating stresses me out. So much falling and I always wonder if people are going to get sliced up by someone else's skates when they accidentally take them out
This is one of the Winter Olympic hills I'll die on: curling is A LOT harder than it looks and people dunk on it way too much
It is so annoying! I hate doing updates for this reason. Everything is just slightly worse
Lisa Kleypas!
Lisa Kleypas! Historical romances FTW
Especially when you hear that things like norovirus are racing through some teams. I’d do almost anything to avoid noro and I’m not training for the biggest game of my life
Ah the particular joy of being a romance reader and discovering a new author you like and then realizing she has written like 40+ books … yesssssss…
(Also the mild embarrassment of “discovering” an author who is like one of the top/most popular in the genre. Better late than never though!)
We know it isn’t fake and we know that Trump is a vile racist.
This administration is filled with the worst people alive.
Everyone wearing MAGA gear is happily telling the world they are racists too.
The fact that I don’t know how to curl makes me feel like I’m not living up to my full potential as a Minnesotan
Love this journey for him
I had one box from Costco that was okay but the ones from my local grocery store have been meh
I’m in the thick of Minnesota winter, where 20 degrees feels pretty manageable. I’m traveling for work this week to CA, where the temperatures are in the mid-60s and my brain is short circuiting. Like, wait, what do I wear in 65 degrees again? Am I going to be the weirdo wandering around in shorts?
