Look, it's simple.

Be kind.
Be curious.
Tell the truth.
Ask for help.
Help others if you can.
Don't hurt people.
If you do, say you're sorry, mean it, and prove it.
Think before you speak.
Say less.
Say please.
Say thank you.

I feel like if you're wearing a white cowboy hat and oversized sunglasses indoors, along with a Detroit Lions jacket, an undershirt, and a series of silver chains, all on national television, you should stop and think before criticizing others' appearance.

Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

Protip: When someone tells you they want to align on a shared vision, it usually means they want you to do what they tell you to without question, concern, or complaint.

With all respect to the proud history of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather et. al, the only way to reach a place where CBS News is once again the most trusted, most consumed news source in the nation again involves a time machine.

Here's the full memo.

Unless you’re cooking meth or actively working for fascists, no dad has a right to say that to their kid. I can only imagine how cruelly that must hurt, how much weight that must carry, but he was wrong to say it and wrong about what he said.

If you want to personally experience time dilation, do planks while staring at a timer and watch seconds pass with increasing slowness.

"We want 5x more profits from those chatbots we made that talk sexy to children in the licensed voices of celebrities!"

Sounds like someone doesn't know what actual journalists do all day.

"So you're saying you ... call sources? Obtain FACTS? Then you VERIFY those facts? You don't just make stuff up? Huh. Weird."

Again, where are these Soros checks I'm supposed to be receiving for going to protests, knocking on doors, etc.? Melonfarmer, I am doing this for FREE. I'm getting paid in DEMOCRACY.

Sorry that you can't conceive of public service without personal financial gain. Seems like a "you" problem.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

The animated TRON UPRISING series is probably the best the franchise has ever gotten. Great cast, fun premise, really stylish visuals.

Seriously, if you told me she was Eric Adams doing an incredibly effective and sophisticated Mrs. Doubtfire, I'd like 50% believe you at this point.

“That’s not discrimination!” Oh my dear sweet Lord, just make this entire exchange a tv ad right now.

WATCH: Winsome Earle-Sears says her opposition to marriage equality or her support for LGTBQ+ Americans being fired for being gay is "not discrimination." #VAGov

Sending her death threats for just speaking her mind — not condemnation, not criticism, threats — is vile and pathetic.

TPUSA came to school to tell everyone her kid wasn’t real. Was existing wrong, and should be forced by the government to live differently.

I’d have been livid, too. Kinda am.

Excellent coverage of tonight’s Albemarle school board meeting from @tjsleakyroof.bsky.social. People have a right to disagree with Allison Spillman’s objection to TPUSA. (I don’t.) But she expressed an opinion. She didn’t use her power or position to try to block the speaker.

Andrew @tjsleakyroof.bsky.social · 1d

school board meeting kicking off. not going to fully live skeet, but will do my best to hit the important points.

Ok, good, so you’re definitely going to condition your support for reopening the government on (among other things) an end to this lawless behavior, right?

Man, I can't wait for BALTIMORE HUG PATROL. So gritty! So hard-hitting!

Stephin Merritt, easily.

I've noticed this all the time in Webtoons -- usually to indicate when the other party in a conversation is speaking off-panel.

They are indeed, and I miss them! And you all! Hi!

In fairness, she's also wearing extremely high heels, which could exacerbate the difference.
