Found a Cat Dancer (best cat toy ever) and played with the kids a bit with it before dinner time. Apparently Amber wasn’t done playing, so she opened the cabinet door and got it back out while I was making their dinner.

Here’s a teaching moment, folks—if your board is bouncing around and not stably pressed up against what you are nailing it to, all that energy you are applying (or in his case, what little energy he is applying) just goes into shaking the board and not actually driving the nail in. 🤦‍♀️
You could not torture this video out of me.

My husband just walked in and handed me the little piece of cheese that was left after he shredded the block.

Me (taking the cheese): Have you been reading that book?

Oh great. Now I need to teach my children about how to not become beholden to emotional blackmail subscription services after I die.

I wish they’d quit coming up with “new and exciting” ways for people to become addictively dependent on tech.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

Such an ornery girl. I took away the green one because she was trying to eat the strings. So she flipped over, attacked the black on, and gave me crazy eyes.

When all you pursue is money, money becomes all that exists. Without it, you have nothing.

Stop sharing AI slop.

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.

But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

The current US regime is a catchfart collective.
Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.
