I’m 41 years old. I started taking guitar lessons two months ago. It was a great choice. It’s never too late.
I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

My daughter is learning words very quickly these days but is not super interested in circling back for words we’ve already worked on. Anyway she can say “Martian” now but still hasn’t said “grandma”

Look you don’t have to hand it to the Catholic Church or anyone who works there but this is nice.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Both parties came down incredibly hard on Palestine protestors, with mass arrests, attempted deportations, and extrajudicial detentions. If you’re mad they aren’t more involved now, blame Joe Biden
It still is ridic that more Gen Zers showed up for pro-Palestine protests than the ones now against Trump. They're all about a conflict 6,000 miles away that doesn't involve any American soldiers but not their own country falling apart

My mom claims she fills her ice cube trays to the top and then through a process in her freezer the ice cubes become smaller in the tray. Is this possible?

the “anti-fascist popular front” is big enough to include actual fascists (MTG) but not the most vulnerable targets of fascism (trans people, migrants), because they’re not actually trying to construct an anti-fascist popular front.

first they came for trans people and i wasn’t quiet, i spoke up, i said “are you really going to die on this hill? there’s an election to win!” because i am not trans.
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

President Donald Trump issued a veiled threat to Democratic-run cities slated to host World Cup matches next year, saying he might ask FIFA to move games from certain cities if he feels crime is too high or local leadership isn’t cooperating with the federal government.

Going in to midterms this is great to hear because this doesn’t work on voters at all. Unfortunately we know this because it was the Biden/Harris playbook all last year.

If you live within driving distance of this theater and have not seen this film you should just go to this midnight screening. Don’t look up what the movie is about even. Just have this precise experience with it.
