We’re so humbled by the kindness of friends, family, and even strangers this week. Our son has a complex, degenerative condition, and caring for him has become harder than ever.

Times are tough for so many, which makes every donation and kind word mean the world. Thank you ❤️

Hey folks, there's some big stuff we need help with. Maybe you can lend a hand. Thank you so much for all your love and support.

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

When we went to the doctor the other day we asked if their pharmacy had the latest COVID vaccine.

"We have it, but we can't give it out."

"Why?"

"We need permission."

I came very close to asking, "From who? The roadkill munching psychopath?" But I mean I know the answer to that is probably yes.

Sorry I haven't kept up with the landscaping. It's just that America is under Nazi occupation so it seems a little fruitless, y'know what I'm saying? No, I agree river rock would look tight as fuck if I dug out that hedge bed. It's just, y'know, the Nazi menace.

Capitalism is awesome because no one can afford groceries and instead of blaming anyone with wealth or power we get mad at people living on the street or trying to move to the country to work

Don't wanna jinx it but we have started the purchasing process for an SUV that is a perfect fit for Jason and his wheelchair! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us out here!

We still need help covering the guardianship legal fees, so please keep sharing!

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence)

BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔

BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

Reminds me of when I still collected comics and had to get all the variant covers.

Love how they continue to infantilize this 22-year-old woman. She scares the shit out of them, doesn't she?

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

YouTube tutorials and some beginners books on chords. She went to stay with my sister’s family for a week and they’re all musicians so she got a few free piano & guitar lessons. As soon as she came back she’s been hooked!

Ohhh I didn’t know that. Agreed, it would be sadder if he wasn’t so awful.

We usually stick to the first 10-12 seasons, so this just blows my mind.
