Did Chris really order 500 coins? Maybe the biggest flub yet (I say this as I covet the coin)

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Wicks are famously soaked

Are we changing the word or the throat clearing?

my grandmother would buy exactly two boxes of these on saturday morning and let the grandkids (between 8-24 of us on any given weekend) at them after dinner. absolute pandemonium

who decided to be a giant stick in the mud in 1952? brutal year for stalkers, citrus culturers, taxidermists, and cement heads

Yeah, “let’s search that up together (at an appropriate time [not bedtime])” is my go to along with “sounds like we know what to look for at the library.” Then they either wait or move on

But also who the fuck can’t read to their kid at night? It’s ten minutes!

Jonesy @therealbk.bsky.social · 7d

I can kind of empathize with the desire to pass off your kid’s persistent questions and odd interests off to the robot, but Christ, kids need to learn that “I don’t know” is a real answer and that it’s ok to wait to find things out

If starbucks had to choose between breaking CA law and doing federal withholdings or breaking federal/every other state law, they’re gonna break CA law

Also just spitballing and yeah I’d love states to wield the power they can, but “business friendly” libs (which is most of them) aren’t gonna do something that creates massive liabilities and legal quagmires for companies that operate nationwide.

Jonesy @therealbk.bsky.social · 8d

would also need to somehow convince every employer that they can just stop processing federal withholdings. tough sell to say the absolute least

One thing I miss about teaching middle school is how many kids would be like “Mr jones mr jones!! Check it out! I spent hours on this and it’s freaking garbage but I’m so proud!!”

Where does the honesty go??

I like Tilly, George! Now tell me about the rabbits, George, would yuh?

Different scales. All the big feelings in Total War come from those moments where the enemy breaks at just the right time, or the scrappy lil formation manages to hold the hill without routing. Not the events on the big map

My only hope at this point is that this makes the housing market such that my landlord doesn’t decide to sell out from under us for at least another year

Check out the novel “The Ministry for the Future.”

The naughty crunch of a too early bite is the only thing that keeps me going some days

We apologize for the convenience

It’s the level of work I’d have returned to a 7th grader to clean up before getting a terrible grade

This feels like the adult version of stuffing my burgers and sandwiches with potato chips

interesting...Occurs razor

Occam is too woke for these guys
