Watching what could really be the last episode of call the midwife as it is now. A long time character passed away I was fine. But for some reason them all seeing an ultrasound of a baby for the first time made me tear up

I just ordered some photos printed at CVS for my son's student of the week thing. (I sicked him on my google photos and he picked the cutest family pictures ๐Ÿ˜ญ) and I am fully expecting to show up and have them say "we haven't offered photoprints in 10 years"

Despite growing up in the boston suburbs during the Spotlight era, it was how the church treated gay people. It fundamentally did not make sense to me so the whole thing stopped making sense.

The same reason college doesn't have a class to teach you Microsoft Teams

The whole world is going to throw this shit at you, and it's likely to change faster than the college can prep to teach it to you properly

But many of the foundational concepts you learn in college are literally timeless

Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately.

He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
