Why do the captions on the Musk trailer say this? Like the words spoken are “creating the department of DOGE” — one syllable. How does that translate to “donated organs”? Weird autocorrect?

Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you, but your voice in my head is my compass. You would’ve loved this Fred Flintstone steak, wish we could share your favorite meal together.

Getting myself organized! By going through a bag that had stuff from Midwest 2023. Revival no longer exists? I have no idea if there is $ on these gift cards but sorry to the JAWS crew for embezzlement?

I am *so* excited for this book!!! Finally, shipping 12/1. Laura isn’t on social media so I have assumed the PR role — buy this book! I’ve been reading these stories for years and it’s the most compelling political science stuff I’ve ever read. Also Laura painted the cover art!

This is an absurd system, these hours are ridiculous. I just want public transit 😭😩😡 I don’t even understand how people afford private transportation, like surprise there’s a screw in your tire and now you need to spend ~$800 on a complete set!

Fun Fact: the Colbert announcement came on the 13th anniversary of the *exact* date of him personally cussing me out. Karma?

The “How We Met” page of my parents’ wedding album. (“She is running because ‘New Hampshire Legislature is full of old men who surely can’t represent the ideas of the present population.’” Queen Icon Legend) (My dad was 20, talking about land speculator taxes, what a nerd)

Reading through my Dad’s copy of Old Richard’s Almanack and digging it. “A rich rogue, is like a fat hog, who never does good // til as dead as a log.” “…not worth a farto.” Great stuff here.
A page from Poor Richard’s Almanack.

My 8-year-old nephew wrote this on one of those obit websites without my sister even knowing and it’s the sweetest thing on earth.

In honor of me not crying while teaching, here are a couple pictures of my Dad about to burst into tears while walking me down the aisle in July.

My Dad died yesterday. At home, with his 3 kids and his wife of 52 years. Exactly where he wanted to be. I wanted to share a bit of something @mikecaulfield.bsky.social wrote to him a few days ago. I'm impossible to understand without my Dad, but especially in his approach to politics (and life).

My Dad’s Dad died when my Dad was 6. He’s a mystery to me in most ways except for the fact that I look just like him.

I really need to make it back to see my dad for as long as I possibly can.

I’m primarily concerned about losing access to the medications that allow me to live my life, but you should also stop double-spacing especially when writing for html.

Trying to stay informed and (somewhat) functionally sane while also not contributing time/money to tech oligarchs is just not really working well for me. I can offer information about what my dogs are doing and what's happening on bravo, but that's mostly it.

I'm not sure I agree, at least with SC. This figure is ridiculous in terms of what they tried to highlight, but I see a pretty consistent relationship.

So it’s a set by Monse, but I challenge Vogue on calling it black, definitely reads as navy
