Bat house
I have purchased a bat house. I am going to attempt to install it by our neighborhood playground, without any kind of authorization. I am hoping it reduces the insane number of gnats and mosquitoes plaguing our land
Yes
Sorry for complaining about this again. There was a pep rally at work today, so you understand
Sure, I can take an evening off and peter can watch the kids. I could probably even wrangle a weekend if needed. But that's not enough, you know?
The thing about the constant stimulation that comes with being a teacher and a mom of young kids is that I don't think I'm gonna get any meaningful break for at least a decade. And thats assuming that there will be a summer in 10 years where the kids mostly just hang out at the pool by themselves

Recently learned waving and is working on clapping. She's a new trick machine
BREAKING: the baby has learned how to do "so big"
Even if you don't know that this claim is from a discredited and racist study, anyone with a brain should be able to immediately tell it's not true. An entire country's population averages as intellectually disabled? That makes no sense. That wouldn't happen.
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
If AI is gonna make most office jobs obsolete, and robots are gonna make manual labor jobs obsolete, then what should we be retraining for? Nothing but childcare and nursing for every single worker?
They have now given me 40 poetry books lol
It's crazy how much of Larson's work is still so explicitly and clearly politically relevant
The offending room
Spent the afternoon cleaning up and organizing the playroom. Kids got home and got mad that I'd changed it. It used to have toys all over the place in piles, but now they're in bin and baskets. My bad.
Cybertruck has been parked along the "no parking zone" curb for 30 minutes.
Dude only decided to leave after accidentally spilling some woman's large ice coffee and letting the staff clean it up instead of helping.
Three laundry baskets
New laundry system. I got three baskets. I sort clothes by kid. The kids are then in charge of putting their clothes away (except for the baby. That would be crazy)
it’s pointless to talk in such a way as to prevent bad faith attacks from degenerate liars vs. no it isn’t
A baby sitting on a blanket at the park. She's wearing a yellow Winnie-the-Pooh outfit with a fluffy tulle skirt. She's holding a purple inflatable light saber from the hit film series Star Wars.
We went to a star wars birthday yesterday
He’s always posting these deranged threats to his blog on Sunday, the Lord’s day. He should be in church.
*sigh*
1. That's not a direct quote. If you're going to put something in quotation marks and then go, "Wow. He just came right out and said it," it should be a direct quote.
2. This speech is from 2018. Don't present it as new/recent.
3. The actual content of the speech is bad enough.
Do you think if we just yell at palantir enough with things like "stfu and code, nerd" they'll knock it off? I think it's worth a try
This is the exact same threat the president was making when he was threatening to end Iranian civilization but nobody’s going to bat an eye at it because you can’t misread it as “he’s going to use nukes”
this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990
I hear people go out of their way to avoid using the word justice when talking about the legal system. They call it the criminal punishment system and stuff like that
Oh yeah, woke people loOoOve talking about how there's tons of justice in the prison system. They'd definitely want to emphasize the justice as opposed to the incarceration
the quality of each star trek show is directly proportional to how often you see the characters engaging in hobbies

literally every day my wife or I go outside with our daughter people go out of their way to be friendly, offer aid or a kind word, no matter where we've traveled. it's nice to remember that hostility as default mode of interaction is not destiny, much as it benefits some to pretend it is
