@imyke just popping on here as a fellow new dad to say thanks for the Mangobaby recommendation it’s working incredibly. Already have a pack of NFC tags en route from Amazon so we can do tap-phone-here Shortcut triggers at the changing station etc.

Ok I’ll jump in on this.

If you have a Republican Senator and/or House Rep, congratulations: today is your day!!

They can stop these mush-brained tariffs any time they want. They have that power. CALL THEM, relentlessly, and ask why they’re not doing that.

Pit Republicans against their president. Pit them against each other. Shake the jar and make them fight. This is a •huge• fracture point in the MAGA coalition. Stick dynamite in it and blow it up.

@hotdogsladies Your child, the child I remember you leaving certain Macintosh Podcasts to take paternity leave for, right as I became a legal adult, is about to be their own whole legal adult?

We really get an infinitesimal amount of time on this rock in the grand scheme of things don’t we?

@siracusa it feels like the hosts of the Flophouse are specifically yet unintentionally setting out to make you writhe in your chair this week.

@caseyliss @imyke can I get some kind of small treat for having recommended narrowboats here?

Matt Rigby Jun 10, 2024

@caseyliss travel tips from someone who was once a small child in the UK: Find literally any steam train based activity, historic steam railway rides on a weekend, rideable model railways. Also narrowboats. The UK has such a wonderfully high density of historic and different transportation methods kids love.

re: the terrible taste of 'anonymous academy voters' explaining their votes: let me remind you that you're reading the taste and values of bozos who would explain their ballot to the press which is against the rules and also just plain dumb

I love this feature. Truly a simple and elegant testament to the importance of having a development staff that’s not all male.

If you are #trans and a US citizen, you should absolutely, 100% apply for a passport this year, whether you plan to travel or not. Yes, it costs $$, but you can self-select your gender without bureaucratic BS (thanks, Joe), and it lasts 10 years and is valid ID everywhere in the world. Whatever fascist laws your GOP reps are proposing in your state legislature about gender markers on IDs, you will have a federal document that reflects your actual gender. And if necessary, you can use it to leave the country.
