My son holds a landline style phone in front of him (he has a TinCan) and I feel like I have led him down a terrible road.

@brandonleegowton.bsky.social @sheilkapadia.bsky.social what should we make of the fact that the brand new offense has scored 24 pts 2 weeks in a row and it isn’t clicking? Seems like evidence the design is solid

In our house we know that the tooth fairy needs all the conditions to be just right for one to have a successful tooth fairy visit. Sometimes, if a lot of kids lose their tooth on the same day, the tooth fairy might run out of cash. And that the first tooth was $20

Employers are so frequently miscatagorizing employees as independent contractors that businesses are advertising that jobs are W-2 even when it would be plainly illegal for it to be anything else

The DC September Mosquito deserves its own circle in mosquito hell. I’ve considered putting permethrin on my window screens just to watch them die when they try and get in the house, but it would kill useful insects too

That’s always a risk but I’d rather someone become the next Tatiana Maslany or Idris Damson and you get a guaranteed but shorter run than wonder if a Fanning will ever come back for another season

And we don’t need “movie stars” just give us good character actors who won’t need to have extremely long breaks between filming. Noah Wylie is awesome but was also available. Availability = best ability

My son is always asking me if we are on a stroad or a road and this is a very clear definition 10 year old him can understand. I’ve been trying to explain it since I introduced the concept in Fairfax, VA, where stroads are everywhere

In the Star Wars series the Clone Wars, this is the pejorative of choice the Clones use against the droids. Make of that what you will.

I’m starting to think we need to sell these pathways as ways to have careers that offer you leisure time to pursue hobbies and passions - like reading for fun, and playing in a garage band…

I have a very sweet (65 lb) dog and I don’t want her soliciting attention from people in public. All are welcome to pet her but I want others to engage first. You never know who is Afraid/ allergic/just not in the mood. It’s nobody’s responsibility to pay attention to/indulge my dog!
