Baby has gotten good at identifying “dada” but still struggling with surrealism, cubism, even baroque.

ideas for what to do with jewelry that makes decisions for you:

[scott 🌞 @scottdomes]

it’s a bit ridiculous to say “the time you spend scrolling could be spent building a business/writing a novel/reading the classics”. sometimes that’s true but usually scrolling happens as a result of cognitive fatigue, and the idea that you can just “swap in” another intellectually demanding task means you’re treating your body/mind as a machine

a better approach would be “the time you spend scrolling could be spent taking a stroll/napping/staring out the window/having a meandering conversation with a friend”. that’s both more palatable and probably what we’re actually craving when we reach for our phone: a brief break from the demands of life, and a time to let our mind relax

Protein shakes? 3.4 oz or less, but rotisserie chickens??? As many as you can fit in your carry-on.

When Donald Trump tells these outrageous lies keep in mind it’s because he had nothing to do with raising his kids. He didn’t hold his wife’s hand as she worked through contractions or a C-Section. He didn’t hold his child moments after birth. He never took any of them to a pediatrician appointment. He never had to distract his crying infant as they got shots. Have you ever seen a picture of him holding an infant? A candid photo of him smiling with his toddler playing games? All he knows is what liars tell him about the human experience. Thus, the idiotic belief newborns get “vats” of shots and not millimeters to help them survive.

Big win for copy editors nationwide ✊️🗞

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

According to the Republican Party, there are two types of elections in the United States: fair elections they win, and rigged elections they lose.

SHE’S THE MAN x DAISY JONES & THE SIX

What began as a hail Mary for her found family turns into Lolly lying to her twins’ fans and label so he can secretly go to rehab. When rehab fails, Lolly must choose: save her brother or save his legacy.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When someone tries to downplay the president’s recent post of an AI photo depicting him as Jesus, as if he’s not trying to make himself out to be divine, you may remind them that he’s also posted these.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is hard to name the kind of grief you feel as you watch the Christian movement that raised you continually justify the most vile things, all for the sake of power, influence, and money.

It’s hard to name the grief of knowing that there is nothing so vile they won’t justify.

Sometimes the last few weeks of pregnancy are like someone saying "here chug this glass of milk, go run a mile, and then hop on the teams call to give your weekly update."

Okay I guess 😭

[Bethany Costic @bethany_costic]

Dropped in to tour an apartment once, they warned me it was being "fixed up" but I just wanted to see the space.

Found a bullet hole in the bedroom window and I was ushered out of there SO FAST.

The poor woman was like ".... so do you want an application?"

No ty 💕

[aaron @stockxsucks]

you realize you’re not interested in an apartment 30 seconds into a tour and then have to pretend like you’re interested for 30 minutes

[Bethany Costic @bethany_costic]

@CalCostic Siiiiiigh 😉

[Bethany Costic @bethany_costic]

@CalCostic That doesn't even work! It's just a clever misspelling of "sighs"! You can't change your own made-up grammatical rules all willy-nilly like that!

[Bethany Costic @bethany_costic]

@CalCostic No.
