Me to my 7-year old daughter: “What is Gabby’s Dollhouse?”

Ms 7: “I don’t know, it’s just some weird thing they play at the dentist. I have no idea what it’s about.”

Love how ambivalent my kids are to popular culture 🤣

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

This guy did a beautiful back roll though when he was shoved. Looks like a fellow aikidoka

Unfortunately they do. I saw it at the grocery checkout the other day with some ridiculous cover story about Mamdani being anti LGBTQ+

This is the first Halloween where “inflatable animal” costumes will need clarification—are you just a frog, or a symbol of the revolution?

TIL that the creative genius behind “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” and “I am stuck on Band-Aid, cuz Band-Aids stuck on me” was none other than Top 40 legend Barry Manilow. 🤯

Jingles that have managed to stick in my head for nearly four decades??
