One of the key concepts throughout Bluey is letting the kids experience failure on low-risk things that end up being lessons in the end.

IMO, letting kids reach conclusions on their own is far more impactful than saying “if you do x then y will happen”.

[Audra Worlow 🇺🇸 @audrawrongspeak]

The reason I banned Bluey from my house is I don’t like the family dynamics or the way the kids talk to their parents, and some of the characters.

The dad seems to always be giving into the kids every whim, and the kids seem to walk all over him, with very little respect paid to him.

Meanwhile the kids think everything is a discussion. There isn’t an instance of “No” or “This is what we’re doing.”, everything seems to be a discussion, every decision the parents make is up for a debate.

One example: Dad tells the kids no ice cream. Muffins dad gets muffin ice cream. Instead of explaining “Well, I’m your dad, I think you’ve had enough sugar, we’re not getting ice cream.” Dad gets the kids ice cream.

Kids also seem to have zero responsibilities. I haven’t seen Bluey or Bingo pick up any toys, clean their room, or do anything that isn’t actively playing.

They don’t help their parents around the house at all.

Finally the show just irritates me. The sounds, colors, the pace, I just find it irritating.

A 5 INVESTIGATES review examined a common theme in Minnesota fraud cases: many defendants are of Somali descent. We dig into the data and get perspective from a local professor. https://t.co/dqqYNmItzh

@phinstonedcards @roselleavenue Yeah, it’s absolutely possible this is an issue with USPS but there’s too many small things that don’t add up.

No scans for 11 days
Whatnot seller
Unnecessary Hazmat label
The way they showed their “evidence”

I lean towards scam

[Jason Michalicek @Michalicash]

@roselleavenue @phinstonedcards Yeah, the fact that they have Hazmat on their package for a Pokemon card leads me to believe they used that label to edit different addresses on to that package to show they “packaged it”.

USPS would have some sort of scan on it, even if it’s delayed/missing.

[Jason Michalicek @Michalicash]

@phinstonedcards @roselleavenue Looking at the tracking they have not actually shipped that package yet.

Just realized the Europeans will be present to watch Joey Chestnut inhale 84 pork pistols on live television in honor of our nation’s independence.

That one will break them completely.

And not only did we replace the one big loss from that defense with Dallas Turner but we added a bunch of beef on the interior part of the line to help our run defense.

Add in a competent QB in Murray and the hype train is already rolling 👀

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

I completely forgot that Max Brosmer played a full game vs the Lions in Week 17 last year:

-had a net of 3 passing yards!
-took 7 sacks
-completed 9 passes for 51 yards

MIN still won by double digits

first team this century to win by double digits w fewer than 5 net pass yards

#Rams LT Alaric Jackson was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of felony domestic violence.

He was booked into jail and later released after posting $50,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for June 30 in Los Angeles.

@limitedcards_nj @bigwerms When TAG came out and admitted their “AI”/machine learning/whatever they call it wasn’t 100% ready I knew to stay away.

I’d be so pissed if I submitted a bunch of cards and found out later that it wasn’t a polished program grading the cards.
