I cancelled my Prime subscription today, after 15 years. Just don't want to contribute to that man anymore. Fuckin sociopaths ruining the world.

Honestly, spend time with my family and pets. Enjoy nature. Have a big party with my favorite people where I tell them how they've made my life so wonderful.

The full article mentions the child had been placed there by a "court decision" so it sounds like the parents may have temporarily lost custody.

For real. Please do the world a favor and say what you know!

I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I'd go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn't have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

My dumb ass interpreted this as they found a window pane from a house flying through the air at 13,000 feet

Apple sucks balls. The way they intentionally make their products incompatible with non-Apple products so you have to buy through them, or get a "dongle". Dongles suck balls.

The only place I've seen that is screenshots of clearly fake Instagram account bios.

I really don't like Newsom. He comes across as a politician that isn't motivated by a sense of public service, but instead someone who's just in it for the fame and power. And I just don't trust anyone who spends that much time on his hair.

My favorites:

• Breath of the Wild
• Tears of the Kingdom
• A Link to the Past
• Chrono Trigger
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• Sim Park
• Donkey Kong Country
• Mario All Stars
• Mario Paint
• Super Mario World

Context: I'm pushing 40 and didn't play video games between SNES and Switch.

Our country is beautiful, and we have an incredibly diverse array of climates. Tropical beaches, vast deserts, snow capped peaks, dense forest, sprawling grasslands. And so much of our land is protected in National Parks, BLM, National Forests... It's truly a treasure.

I signed my card! Good to see that number growing.

You might be right on that. I know a lot of people are saying, "Oh something big is about to drop!" I wish, but a more likely scenario is something boring by comparison, like being asked to testify before a committee. I also wonder if she's trying to draw a divide between herself and Trump. If she's going to throw him under the bus, all I can say is, it couldn't happen to a better person.

I don't anymore. I have all my boosters, and I live in a rural area where there are rarely crowds anywhere I go. I also have gotten over a lot of the fear I had pre-vaccine. I had covid for the first time in January and honestly I was relieved that it was very mild. Thank you scientists!! And I still have my stockpile of masks in case I ever need to leave the house if I'm sick.

That was fascinating to read!

• WTF - Marc Maron's podcast with really great long-form interviews of comedians, actors, and other public figures.
• Radiolab - about science, nature, and the human experience. Interesting and educational.
• Don't Ask Tig - comedian Tig Notaro and a guest answer listener questions asking for advice. Usually funny and heartwarming.

It's true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn't have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they'd know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn't tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I'd be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like "ok, boomer" and said no thanks.

Get up high if you can, and just bombard them with bomb arrows.

Fellow teacher here! During my first 5 years or so teaching, I was so sensitive to negative feedback. Comments were overwhelmingly positive but I'd really wince at negative comments. I've grown a thicker skin since then, and more importantly I've come to believe in myself and I know I'm good at what I do. So, experience and confidence.

That's so scary. What was the cause? Are you doing okay now?
