If you work in the facility where he's being kept and want to anonymously send a tip, my signal is open as well as many other journos I trust. Bring him home.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

My favorite is "Hokay so here's the earth"

Or "but I am le tired"
"Well have a nap. Then fire ze missles!"

But it says something that the memorable video of my teen years was called "The End of the World" & was a huge dark joke about nukes.

Fuckin' kangaroos.

67 is silly. Kids should be silly
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"

But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"

Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!
One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!
My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

Thanksgiving first:
After ten years of the same recipe, I cut my palm on a turkey bone while spatchcocking. I cleaned it out painfully well, and then wore a bandaid and gloves for the rest of the prep.

May the hearth gods bless me with a hella good bird tomorrow after the blood sacrifice...

The first rule of Masshole Fight Club is that we talk about Masshole Fight Club
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

It's really funny to me suddenly seeing all of this talk about the Edmund Fitzgerald this year between the Severance reference and the anniversary and all the documenataries. Look, some of us just grew up in the midwest with a dad who loved Gordon Lightfoot...

I guess I should watch a documentary.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

We don't get Trump without Cheney. Trump is an enormous consequence of Cheney's breathtaking, unchecked corruption and expansion of executive powers. Cheney opposed Trump, but he also's more responsible for our current moment than probably any other person.
