Here's my true story about digging in my backyard as a kid. We lived in Wales (GB) and I was bored one day and dug up a large wooden spoon with carvings on it. I was sure it was an ancient relic. My parents didn't have the heart to tell me the ancient times it was likely from was the 1970s.

Son is having a friend coming to visit from out of state who will be staying with us for about a week. And suddenly son is manically cleaning not only his own room, but even the shoe area and bathrooms. And suddenly, I'm plotting how to convince him to invite people over more frequently.

I can only imagine. Chickenpox parties only made sense because the disease is mostly not dangerous when you are young, just uncomfortable. Measles is such a different disease, and my understanding is *very* dangerous.

And to be clear... There was actual science behind chickenpox parties back in the day. Children typically experienced a milder form of it than adults, and a vaccine wasn't available in the US until 1995.

And with the documentary on Musk coming out, not only are his unfavorables high but his myth is being pierced as well. He's an anchor for anyone that takes his money. That's a tactical advantage to people who can play off it.

We should reject the politics of grievance says Trump's VP. The projection is off the charts.

Totally different than a suburban kid who would occasionally visit relatives in Appalachia, then rise to fame shitting on those same relatives and the people of Appalachia without doing any digging into the systemic poverty and exploitation of the people in the region.

My maiden name was Pettit. Misspelled from Petit (French) back in the day. I assume I should plan for a visit from immigration enforcement?

MAGA grifters finding out being anti-MAGA grifters is more lucrative could be an interesting plot development.

They *hate* being treated the way they treat others. I went to pull up a compilation of all the demeaning things Sr has said about women, but those lists are depressing to see laid out all together.

It sounds so simple, but it's pretty difficult to distill complex issues down to an easy to understand sentence, and this is an example of that being done really well.
