Saw a productivity hack for work-from-home that said “wear sneakers, not slippers.” I pfft-ed at first because I almost always wear slippers and… ugh! I hate that they’re right. And I should’ve known because I advise people to wear pants. Yeah, wear sneakers.

Having to grow up in this social media culture is wild. I’m so glad I didn’t have to.

Can we stop making boys go through a literal song and dance to ask a girl to the prom or homecoming? It takes a lot of courage to even ask in a normal way. Everyone’s always gushing in the comments and all I can think about are the boys and girls who don’t go with dates because of this pressure.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is great for women’s basketball in the long run? We all know Cybertrucks are terrible cars for terrible people, but at least they brought new non-liberal people into the EV market… apple.news/A7GONLjrLSTu...

This NJ voter registration story is reviving a conspiracy theory about the 2025 gubernatorial election that I am more than happy to debunk.

I don’t know why the networks think we want to hear broadcasters yapping nonstop about nothing and asking ridiculous questions like “How do you feeeeel?” instead of just putting a camera in the middle of the celebration and letting us experience the moment.

As scary as it is that the Republican Party is replacing all of its mainstream politicians with corrupt weirdos, the silver lining is that billionaires have to waste their money on these expensive competitive races.

I just watched a woman in pajamas drop her kid off at daycare. Full on pajamas. Not pajama pants and a shirt, but a matching set of nice button down pajamas. Some would have rolled their eyes over the state of society today. But I say,”yes, queen.” She looked like a million bucks.

Voter of the day is NHL and Olympic hockey star Quinn Hughes. He voted just once—in the 2020 presidential election. Apparently he registered to vote the day after Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final that was played in an empty building. Voting is private, not anonymous.

idk if this is so obvious as to be unhelpful, but here's how i design recurring spaces for my comics. i don't worry too much about getting everything the right size or lined up. it's just very simply about "if i'm facing any one direction, what is in my line of sight?"

I was at ShopRite with Amy and ELO’s “All Over The World” came on the radio. I asked, “Can you name the movie this is from?” (I’m a lot of fun to shop with as you can probably tell) And she said, “I’ve never heard this song before.” Now…I ask you, how did a Xanadu person marry a non-Xanadu person?

Whenever anyone claims dead people or “illegals” are voting, tell them to name them. Voting is private but not anonymous. That’s how I know Kid Rock didn’t vote for Trump in 2020.

I keep seeing posts about the NHL draft lottery being rigged for the Maple Leafs because the league needs a good Toronto team. Does it, though? Canadian fans always show up. The league wants ratings for US tv, and the Leafs aren’t it. If they could rig the lottery, they’d’ve given it to the Rangers

I was watching a livestream of Governor Sherrill’s press conference and it occurred to me from reading the comments that a very big reason people feel so much rage toward government and politicians is due to their lack of knowledge about how any of it works.

No matter what anyone says, I strongly believe Democrats will be blamed for this government shutdown. Hear me out: Obamacare subsidies is a worthy fight. If we don’t have it, insurance costs will skyrocket. But…

And he just did it again. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social keeps telling the Governor of Illinois and the Mayor of Chicago they should thank Trump for sending the National Guard. It’s unbelievable.
