Big parenting argument going on in our house over whether to tell the kids "Santa isn't real" (my wife's position) or "it's highly unlikely Santa is real" (my position).

I will now defend myself by paraphrasing jack nicholson in that scene from a few good men, who is the hero of that movie btw
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Judge Matthew Thornhill's burning love for Elvis Presley prompted him to occasionally wear an Elvis wig on the bench — behavior that a judicial conduct commission cited in calling for him to be suspended and then resign. Court documents say he agreed to step down after nearly 20 years on the bench.
Missouri Judge Who Wore Elvis Wig in Court Agrees to Resign
Judge Matthew E.P. Thornhill also talked about politics and played Elvis songs in court, a judicial commission said.

If your analysis of the NYC mayoral election ignores the factor of Mamdani's hotness then you did not learn any important lessons, imo

Couldn't find toddler's play dough and when I asked her where it was she said "pocket." She doesn't have pockets. Found it about 20 minutes later when I changed her diaper.

Today my toddler scratched up my neck enough to draw blood, bit the top of my head enough to leave a bite mark hours later, threw up and stepped in it and walked around, shortly after which my dog pooped inside and stepped in it and walked around. But hey it's still way better than working.

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.
