Ok, I tilted my phone and shoved it up my butt… now what? I never get these memes, I must be getting old.

Edit: hold on someone’s calling me…

I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich (5th district)

Asshole and full on insurrection supporting MAGA.

Agree so much on HBO. We just moved to the US and got the “Max” subscription and we’re finding gem after gem, some of it a decade old. Like TV that rivals any great movie, amazing storytelling/directing/music/concepts. Still plenty of filler to sort through, but some genuine art in there.

Bummer. Not because of the extra $3, honestly I’ll probably just pay it. But because until now Prime programming has been able to operate with a certain freedom. I know 0 people with prime for the video (as opposed to the free delivery) so they were willing to take risks with the shows.

Solos and Tales from the Loop are both amazing works of art that would never have shown up on network TV, or Netflix which would much rather make cheap mass appeal shows with little depth. Even more shows with wider appeal (e.g. The Expanse) might not survive the TV Executive mindset now that they have a reason to care about the number of views as a primary metric, over user happiness.

And honestly, it all baffles me, I will gladly subscribe to a streaming service for one great show. Produce 3 or 4 a year and I’m subscribed for good. If I wanted an endless string of medicore baking reality shows, I’d get cable again.

Your mileage may vary, but have you tried over the phone instead of video chat (if it’s an option where you live)? I felt exactly the same about video, but something about over the phone felt chill, I could just “chat with a friend” in my pajamas. Helped me a lot and neither my therapist or I ever actually saw each other.

So calling it your ABCs when you’re younger isn’t that far off. Interesting.

Wow, what a wonderful bit of storytelling and great insight into the very weird social and political landscape of Michigan.

I love the photo of the Muma’s, happy they were on the right side of history when it mattered.

And this stands out, “We feel that they have been put here … to ‘brain wash’ our children into accepting a mixed marriage as natural. We will never accept a mixed marriage as being right.”

Sound familiar? Assholes never change, they just shift their target.

Carl: Alright, well…I was upstairs…

Paul: Okay…

Carl: I was uh…I was sitting in my room…

Paul: Yes?

Carl: reading a book…

Paul: Go on…

Carl: And, uh, well this guy walked in…

Paul: Okay…

Carl: So, I went up to him…

Paul: Yes…

Carl: And I…I stabbed him 37 times in the chest.

Paul: Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl, that KILLS people!

Carl: Oh! Well, I didn’t know that!!

Oh noes! Now Biden might not win Texas!

Think before you speak, dumbass.

Edit to clarify, said dumbass is the Lt. Gov, not OP, OP is cool.

CEO of public company actively makes product worse because of business dealings at a seperate private company owned by said CEO. Not that Tesla shareholders don’t already have enough reason to be pissed, but good lord.

And it’s not a “feud” that would imply Disney is being petty instead of making the fucking obvious business decision to pull advertising spend from the dumpster fire of racism and controversy that is Twitter.

Ok, I had to know, so:

1. It’s real
2. Sold only in Czech Republic around Christmas time, though currently unavailable
3. Apparently fried Carp is a traditional Christmas eve dish in CR
4. Because of the Christ feeding 5000 with fish and bread bible story.

I still have questions, but at least I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

The Online Safety Act has taught the Tories that they can get away with anything if they can spin it as “think of the children”. I expect to see more draconian limiting of speech under this same guise.

ETA: and after reading the article, the argument of protecting kids mental health is BS. If they cared about mental health they’d fund the NHS so that wait times to see a psychiatrist/therapist reflected the urgency. Social media might add fuel to the fire, but depression doesn’t just magically go away if you delete your accounts.

Houston we have no idea what our trajectory is and it’s just playing happy birthday over and over.

Jokes on you, my password is just 8 asterisks… Wait crap.

Brb changing all my passwords.

The blue leds make the whole setup run cooler. And if you want a really fast build, get an aerodynamic case with a racing stripe.

But seriously, hard agree. I want a big, easy to open easy to access, metal box. With handles if it’s possible I’ll be using it for gigs etc.

Is anyone else hearing Aquarela do Brasil or is it just me…

Narrator: He didn’t.

If we had more funding for great teachers, it would be anything but pre-work. Ultimately, lower income families really benefit from free childcare schools provide, and a good pre-K classroom is all about play and exploring.

Teaching at that level should be fun for kids and teachers (though also exhausting). It’s when underfunding forces teachers into a solid 8h of classroom time a day with a way too large class size that it turns work-like.

I freelanced music ed and worked with 4-8 year olds in several different schools. Some were amazing, supportive teaching assistants and reasonable schedules with a few breaks in my day, kids loved it and so did I. Others, I felt like a warden just trying to stop a riot for 9 hours straight with a 20min lunch. 25+ 4 year olds with no support doesn’t work.

It took me way too long to realize you weren’t just talking about Sir Patrick Stewart’s obvious sex appeal.
