If the Brewers make it to the world series, I am required to root for them, because, fun fact, when my grandpa was a child, the Brewers used to do spring training in Hot Springs, AR, and he remembered a player buying balls and bats for him and his friends once, when he saw them playing stickball.

Don't feel stupid, but also, if someone helpfully tells you "that's fake," the correct response is "oh shit, let me delete this" not doubling down and disabling comments.

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

Today J ate at a restaurant that is part of a group I refuse to patronize because they're being sued for not allocating tips fairly. Him: "I can't keep track of all your rules!" Me: "It's not about rules, it's about knowing the tea!"

Even though I was shucking faster and messier than I usually do due to the volume we had to get through for the event tonight, we still had folks telling us it was the best oyster they’d had. And I didn’t injure myself! Only one out of the three of us not bleeding at the end of the night.

Took a Lyft to GABF because zero parking so chef gave me a ride home. Took the op to say “when other cook finally moves on, I am your sous chef” and she was like “duh!”

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary

WaPo is wrapping this all up in fancy language and downplaying how unqualified she is but she is a quack who quit her residency and has never actually practiced medicine. She isn’t just a departure from “traditional medical expertise” - she has no medical expertise whatsoever.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Her confirmation — which is expected in the coming months — would further solidify the power and influence of Kennedy and the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, medical experts said, pushing aside traditional medical expertise.

She left the medical mainstream and rose to be RFK Jr.’s surgeon general pick

Casey Means, the surgeon general nominee, has criticized the medical establishment. She could be put in position to change it.

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

This doll is very cool and I say that as someone who has never and will never see any Alien film because the Alien portion of The Great Movie Ride scared the shit out of me as a child.

Everything is terrible but look at this Monster High Skullector Alien doll they're releasing. This is exactly what H.R. Giger would've wanted

No one can hear you scream in space, especially when the alien hunting you slays this hard.
