You're writing this down right? Good. As I was saying my car sucked so bad my wife left me. Yes I can spell my name for you.

The baby rolls his cup under a cabinet. He looks for it. He sticks his head on the ground and peers under. He sits back up and looks at me: “mama!”

??? Did he do it? Or does mama mean “I want that.” 🤨

Starting to wrap up this terrible breastfeeding journey and it’s making me cry roughly every 8 hours around the clock, so if someone could stand behind me and remind me I did pretty good under very bad circumstances that would be great. Actually need that pep talk in several areas of life!

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Crib was lava to the baby last night, so I again gave up and let him sleep in the big bed. Perhaps I'm ruining his sleep hygiene, or perhaps he's only a little guy once.

Idk what this is called, I’m sure it has a name, but someone’s gotta stop these YouTubers from reading every sentence in the same melody. Da da DI da da, da da DAH.

Today’s “mama” is because the baby sees my coffee. And what he sees, he wants.

Random Facebook post: “what container can I use to ship my dad’s ashes? Don’t say coffee can, I think my fam would find that disrespectful.”

Comments:
- my dad’s in a coffee can cause he liked the big Lebowski!
- mine just liked coffee!
- paint can??

😩 social media was a mistakeeee

This is not the first liberal white guy I’ve encountered who’s happy to trade someone else’s rights away in the guise of some big-brained political strategy. They never sacrifice their own rights!

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Only an Idiot Would Think We Need Anti-Abortion Democrats

It's beyond time to stop listening to Ezra Klein.

Tuesday in your Nations Capital:

The House remains out of town, on a paid vacation.
Senate remains deadlocked.

Folks who guard and clean their buildings ARE working but ARE NOT getting paid.

Morale is low.
Nothing makes sense

I’m just glad he’s enjoying the human equivalent of cat food. And also that his mom is cat foot.

Me: “mama”
Baby: “ma ma ma ma”
Me: “…mama??”
Baby: “ma ma ma ma”
Me: “we may be getting somewhere!”
Baby, to chicken puree: “MA MA MA.”

The baby’s daycare notes yesterday said: “guess who came to school today.” My husband and I: ??? Then again today: “guess who came to school.” Either that’s an activity where they say everyone’s names, or it’s the babadook.

Yeah, the harder versions maybe, but the simplest version is definitely possible: “you’ve used your allotted queries for the day, see you tomorrow.” The coding tools all do this.

The baby wakes up at midnight, 1, and 5am. I give up and put him in my bed, where he curls up, rests his head on my arm, and starts repeatedly smacking me to reiterate that he is bored.
