I was into politics twitter for so long. Took a long break.

Now I still want to know what’s going on, but I want more puppy, music, art, and nature content.

Social media breaks are good.

@BGatesIsaPyscho lol at there being a camera focused on this exact plane

Also see community note.

@RizomaSchool @Empty_America The best thing they can do is keep their hobby BUT set a reasonable time limit.
30-60 minutes daily anyone can do whatever embarrassing hobby they want. But join the mainstream for the rest of your day.

@DKThomp I’m simply imagining Cheetos and Zebra Cakes as contraband that only the elite can get their hands on.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@TrevonDLogan @SalKrinkle @brianrdhamm Randomization past 2011 is irrelevant, too, because they are currently 13 years old.

I’m agreeing with your whole thread; to be clear.

Etsy cracks me up. They sent an email advertising Christmas Eve boxes. “Fill it with goodies.”

What do you think I am doing THE NeXT MORniNG. Stockings+being literal Santa+gifts from me+gifts from and for each other+teacher’s gifts+special treats all season.

Another thing?!?!

@emilykmay My 15 year old self would be like “you’re living the dream!” But also … “why do your eyes look SO tired?”

[MBana @MBana72055]

@Ronxyz00 …you need a team lead who is directly working with the highest officials. You need 3 that work opposite hours so the desk is almost always manned. And each of the 3 has connection to different agencies so you are getting viewpoints/feedback/requests to + from major institutions.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@Ronxyz00 I hope he’s joking. A 4-member *essential* team could be cut down to 1. (Or depending on their numbers, cut down completely).

He should be looking at their functions.

To have 1 person manning that function is insane. The reason for 4 …

On excess government spending, how about we total up the secret service bill for all the stays / long-term housing at Trump properties.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@UpTambourine Warning: my boys think that means pooping out of your butt because to them there would be no other way. Ha ha.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@solson30 @amyklobuchar Multitasking is a new concept. Tackling health and border issues simultaneously…is possible.

I don’t know how else to put this.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@Ademola101_ @visakanv Agree. And his comic timing has a tempo.

He didn’t sit down and plan for each joke to hit at 20s, or if he did it’s because that’s his natural manner.

@Chuckisdope Octopi

[MBana @MBana72055]

@DougWahl1 Uhhh there are other rules that would have prevented recess appointments too.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@memeticsisyphus Then they dropped the restriction. I think during my third kid’s 0-2 age range.

Listen, he had already watched because older siblings were addicted to Disney channel, PBS, and movies.

But him being under 2, I didn’t hand him my phone. It was better for him to wait.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@memeticsisyphus The worst thing to happen was saying kids under 2 can have screens.

It *used* be a thing. Zero screens under 2. I tried, and started at 18 months with 1 Daniel Tiger per day. For some, I was sooo late to the game. For others, I was doing damage by allowing it.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@AlanLevinovitz I agree with you. There are plenty of people are living into their late 70s, their 80s, their 90s. They’ve certainly been living on our 1990s+ diet for 30 years.

My own mom was affected by food, but it was her choice. You’d have to ban soda and sweets to alter her health path.

[MBana @MBana72055]

My husband was an employee on an NIH study for summer work in between vet school semesters. $3-4K pay was helpful to us.

I don’t know what the study learned about fish, but it’s a drop in the bucket and goes to people who are working contributors to science / public health.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@AlanMCole The actual study about hamsters was more fruitful.

[MBana @MBana72055]

@AlanMCole I thought Rand Paul’s recent post about government waste in spending was funny. Because someone in his office was told to make a social media post with a photoshop of hamsters boxing, and they’re paid to do that.
