Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 15hIt is just REALLY odd that in a society that has become consumed with the idea of pedophilia (both real and imagined) in elite circles, Dennis Hastert simply never comes up. 020
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I slept with the lights on for years because of Large Marge in Peewee’s big adventure. I’m still pretty afraid of spiders because of the giant spider in a Punky Brewster episode that had soemthing to do with her being possessed by some Native American spirit? 000

Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Explaining to my kid that, yes, your mom hates it when *I* yell “Man, it’s a hot one” and then sing the Santana riff on the morning of a hot day but she’ll find it funny if YOU yell “Man, it’s a hot one” and then sing the Santana riff. 000
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Well, for you especially. Rural America one thing, parts of Europe can be a… different story I imagine. 150
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Also if you live in a place where you know Jews, there probably seem like a lot because they’re concentrated there. But in other parts of the country, I’ve been the first Jew people have met countless times. 2332
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is a tragedy. Didn’t realize Charlie’s had closed. Got there in December I guess right before it closed. One of the best bars I’ve ever been to. A very formative place for me when I was, shall we say, a little younger than I should have been, and then as an adult once I was. 010

Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Or even worse, you just, like, woke up? People are just taking it daily without even exercising? Your body is very good at this stuff, I promise, just give it some water when you're thirsty. 000
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026They're selling you salt water with a fancy name and you're buying it. You get enough salt already, it's already in your body, just add some water. Did you do an ultra marathon? Then maybe you need some electrolytes. You didn't though, you just went on your long run in the sun. 120
Morgan Clendaniel @mclendaniel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've noticed lots of folks, even reasonable not woo-woo people, are having electrolyte powders as part of their daily routine. You do not need them! Recent study finds no improvement to any health metric from taking them after an hour of exercise in the heat: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42601056/ 120
