Why does the library let me take books home, I’m reading too many, I need to be cut off.

My 11yo just told me that someone gave him candy cigarettes but not to worry, he threw them away immediately. 😂

I charged it and then left it at home. 😭

Shoot, my watch is dead. Sorry kids, trick or treating is cancelled. Not walking if I don't get my steps.

Oooooohhhhh... club sandwich. Yes, this is the way.

My husband made brownies so we’d feel less tempted to eat the Halloween candy.

Question: do brownie sandwiches work better with the brownie as the bread and chocolate bars in the middle? Or is it the other way around?

The smart traffic cops will be waiting at those exact locations for everyone who who thinks they can speed on by, consequence-free.

Is it really that good? Should we head over there next time we’re in Toronto?

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

Yeah, it might be different in the states. I don’t know, I never go there.

Hmm... I might try that myself, thank you.

Neato. How does that work? Do you have a separate antenna device that plugs into your TV?

Tamara but Spooky 👻 @procrastamara.bsky.social · 2d

You know what was neat about the 1993 World Series? We watched it for free on our TV with just the bunny ears.

America, you need to sit the next election out and let the rest of us pick your next president. It's only fair.

☢️ President Trump says in Truth Social post tonight that U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons again.

— The US hasn’t tested nuclear weapons in three decades. This is a major shift in policy.

This is an amazing article.

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made.

“Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied.

Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.”

He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

“‘What did they say about you?’ I asked.

He snapped out of it. ‘Oh, not me,’ he answered. ‘I meant Donald Trump.’

Over the course of a few dates, he’d make this mistake often, where he’d talk about Trump in the first person.”

What?!?!?

Saw someone refer to Amazon stuff as "landfillcore" and I can't get it out of my head now.

If the odds of catching a shiny Pokemon in Z-A are 1/4096 and my kid has caught 3 in 12 days, how much screentime is that? 😬

I think the World Series Canadian anthem singer did the "our home ON native land" instead of "and" and I really think we should make that the official wording.

Ugh. I just thought of a great comeback to that thing my aunt said six years ago.
