    I just recently joined Facebook exclusively to participate in some maker groups. I&#39;m a little surprised, maybe put off, by how many people&#39;s profile pic include what I assume to be their spouse/partner/sigOther. Is this a thing? This strikes me as odd, particularly since my interest there is not social. Is this code for &quot;I&#39;m taken&quot; or more like people putting their brand on their Facebook-faring partner so everyone knows to keep the f*** away???

    Why are we even having a conversation about a 79-year-old candidate for a 6-year seat in congress??? https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/03/30/nebraska-dem-senate-candidate-voted-for-trump-attended-conservative-training-session/

    “When they go low, we go high” didn’t work. I believe we need to vote YES to redistricting in Virginia. Fair warning: this isn’t the last time I’ll say this.

    I might have added a little too much butter to the mashed potatoes. I KNOW. I didn&amp;#39;t even know that was possible!

    I just finished listening to the oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court. I truly hope that when John Sauer speaks, it hurts just as much as it sounds it does.

    I&amp;#39;m curious if Bondi wants to talk about the Dow right now?

    @macosken Went to the Apple Store to see these this weekend. They&amp;#39;re nice. I don&amp;#39;t need one, but if I hadn&amp;#39;t just bought a new laptop for my workshop last year, I&amp;#39;d probably get one of these.

    So Paramount has killed Starfleet Academy before its second season even airs. Why? Because of low viewer ratings fueled by a homophobic smear campaign and haters who&amp;#39;d suspiciously never previously posted much but suddenly had a lot to say?

    Well, that’s one way to screw with elections at the 11th (9th) hour. The beauty of this Texas stay is that it could benefit Talarico, who likely has a better chance of unseating the republican candidate than Crockett. Manipulative ≠ smart.

    It just dawned on me that I am literally sitting in front of the TV, eating popcorn, watching the returns come in and the legal shenanigans in Texas.

    Dear all Slack administrators and participants, I understand that you want to personalize slack with custom emoji/reactions. I&amp;#39;ve added some myself. But please keep in mind that most logos just do not make good emoji—they&amp;#39;re too damn small! Think favicon. That would make a good Slack reaction emoji. Kisses, Me

    Is it bad that I never changed out of my joggers today? (HAHAHAHA...no, I don&amp;#39;t run. They&amp;#39;re just what I pull on in the morning.)

    I don&amp;#39;t typically post selfies, but I&amp;#39;m a sucker for a cozy flannel shirt, and I&amp;#39;m particularly proud of this $16 find from Bass Pro&amp;#39;s clearance rack yesterday. #flannel #mirrorselfie
