Gen X trying to find relevance. I have a husband, 3 sons, and a best friend who lives too far away from me. Introvert who needs distance. No touching.
Admittedly, I've never snorted cocaine in my life, but off the toilet seat? You're in the bathroom, there are other surfaces available to you. I'm not saying the sink is necessarily more hygienic, but it carries less emotional trauma

He's got to be a walking biology experiment at this point, right?

Besides inconveniencing me, this bill won't really affect me. I have my birth certificate, my marriage license (with raised seal), and my passport in my possession.

I still think this is a bullshit Act being pushed by my own bullshit Senator. It's nothing more than fearmongering.
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

"Culture war" may be a misnomer, honestly.

My God, does he just power down between pressers?

WHY DOES NO ONE PUSH BACK ON HIS LACK OF AWARENESS!!!

My kingdom for a follow up question every time he trots this tired excuse out.
Q: There's reporting that federal judges are increasingly frustrated with DHS for defying court orders in cases involving ICE detainees. Should the administration be able to miss deadlines?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not gonna comment on a report I haven't seen. That's the first I've heard of it.

I gasped at the Ring commercial.

My oldest snorted and said "You knew this was the eventuality"

To which I replied, "Yes, but I didn't think they would say it out loud."

We are watching the superbowl. My oldest is keeping us updated on polymarket chatter to keep us entertained.

My middle son is hoping we are already seeing the final score.

As the mother of a recent transplant patient this makes me seeth with rage. My son takes his meds twice a day and they really discourage even missing one of those doses.

They are trying to kill that man.
A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.
Transplant recipient arrested by federal agents in Rochester needs medicine, state representative says
State Rep. Kim Hicks told MPR News she drove to the Whipple Federal Building near Ft. Snelling Thursday night to give the man his medication but authorities wouldn't take it without a doctor's note. S...

Who would have thought Ghost (1990) was the Techbros comfort movie.
AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, Charley Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.”

I bought a piece of salmon for my son, because I love him. And now he is cooking that salmon and I'm wondering if I misplaced my love.

Its called an Army Surplus Store and every town in America has one. Gas masks are NOT hard to come by. Although I'm sure the demand is rising.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Im still waiting for an Amber Alert type app that will send a loud alert as soon as it is verified.

Please tell me someone is working on that. We can call it Orange Drops.

Truer words about his base were never spoken

"But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

Unfortunately for my GPA, math isn't subjective. There really is only the one way to calculate this.
Trump: We are bringing medicine down by many times -- and there are two ways of calculating, you could say 1000%, 2000%, or 90% or 80%. The Democrats want you to say 90 or 80, but there are two ways of calculating it
