You can tell a True Wife Guy then by the way he never *tells you* he’s a wife guy. This is really the truest distinction: if you can tell a guy truly loves his wife, then he’s a Wife Guy. If he has to tell you, then he’s a Wife Guy *eye roll*. Anyway, hope this helps 5/5

Note to self: probably a better idea to do home repairs sober.

Kids do stupid things, and then they're supposed to get in trouble and face consequences so they don't do the stupid shit anymore.

Also grateful to have found a pet sitting service with the patience and care to deal with this handful. @wraithmetal.bsky.social and their company has been absolutely invaluable in helping us feel like we can go live our life without worrying about these two while we are away.

Every day I’m grateful I found two dogs that care for each other like this two do

I’d say I’m good at good at being sneaky, but I’m about as conspicuous as they come. I may have to move now.

Ordered a salad for lunch and then walked to the place next door and ordered a corn dog: I think this does a good job of illustrating where I am emotionally right now.

The world has gotten to know Eduard Bazardo in these playoffs. But the Mariners’ fiery Venezuelan reliever wasn’t always this guy.

@ajeto.bsky.social is back to tell you how Seattle found its stopper. www.lookoutlanding.com/mlb-postseas...

Eduard Bazardo Has Been a Life Raft

The unheralded Venezuelan mixed up his pitch mix midseason and has become invaluable for the Seattle Mariners.

This is great. I'll take all the Remember Some Guys-style interviews with character actors that you've got, and this is an especially good one.

Luckily they don’t taste that way, but they taste _just_ off enough to create an uncanny valley effect that I find entirely off putting. Meanwhile they’re everyone in DC’s favorite donut, so what do I know.

Mack @wifeguy.org · 5h

I’m sorry, but I refuse to recognize a ‘vegan donut’ as an actual donut. What you have produced is an abomination.

Oh, you think this grimy, amoral social climber doesn't deserve a prestige journalism job that should go to someone who isn't dead inside instead? Guess what, you did a slut shaming. You did a sexism. You need to log off and Do The Work.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

While watching Home Turf on Hallmark Channel my wife told me she used to buy curry from a market featured in a scene (it was filmed in part in Salt Lake City), so I now have an official—tangential—connection to the Hallmark Movie Extended Universe.

BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER is the sort of ultra-stylish neo-noir I usually dig. But even the neon-soaked vibes (and a very good Colin Farrell) weren't enough.

‘Ballad Of A Small Player’ review: Colin Farrell is on a losing streak in Edward Berger’s gambling drama

Tilda Swinton also stars in the director's Macao-set follow up to 'All Quiet On The Western Front' and 'Conclave'
