Under 2000 stitches to go. I can see a few spots on Pikachu that I want to fix, but I’ve promised myself I’d finish this thing before I went back to fix things I hate. I’m so close!

When Abe was still alive, Tom was in charge of all things Dog and I was in charge of all things Kid. It was never balanced, but the division of labor worked for us. Now that Abe is gone, caretaking of our helpless creatures falls on me.
It will take time, but I think we need to do some adjusting.

Is this seat that looks like it has a Derry accent conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person, perhaps one of your da's mates saying "Did ye aye mucker, right enough?". Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Omg I’m getting this for my kid. Learning to type was legit one of the most important things I learned in high school.
They were nice enough to give me a free code for this bonkers typing game and I loved it so much that I had to write about it. It’s like Streets of Rage meets Mario Teaches Typing. Silly and fun and nails the feel of every correctly-typed letter feeling like a punch. The dad joke mode is a dream.

I want white women to want better for themselves. You don't have to shag a catcher's mitt
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Obviously, I am not a fan of US imperialism in any form, but these people simply do not understand the concept of soft power.
The Interior Department has announced it will charge $100 per head for non-US residents to visit the most popular 11 national parks.
Stupid and self-defeating. Millions have visited those parks and left with with affection for America. No more, except those who can afford $400 per family per park.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

This is what prison is supposed to be for. But the prisons are full of people who used drugs while the criminals are running the government.
These people need to be permanently removed from society with whatever force is necessary to make the point that this cannot ever be allowed to happen again.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
