That's insulting to mosquitoes.

Or they could do what Wegmans does and offer their store brand EXCLUSIVELY. Drives me nuts.

I am fairly certain that MAGA crisis actors will infiltrate the protests this weekend to stir shit up and give Trump an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I struggled for the last 20 years to get my weight under control, finally resulting in dangerous cholesterol levels. After starting Zephound in May 2025, I have lost 80 pounds, and my last blood work was excellent. I've never felt better. But I definitely don't want to advertise how I lost the weight because of this "cheating" opinion. I hate that I feel obligated to hide it, like it's a dirty secret. Why can't people just be happy that others ate working to improve their health?

As a child, my school evaluated all students' IQs, and the ones above a certain score were labeled "MGM" (mentally gifted minors) and put into "gifted" classes. Nothing has held me back more in life than being told I'm objectively smarter than someone else.

It has taken years to respect the virtue of discipline in learning. Throughout school, and then into adult life, if something didn't come easily to me, I would abandon it instantly, because the notion of having to work for a skill was so foreign to me.

We should never praise the child (you're so smart), we should praise their effort (great work on this).

In other news, birth rates are inexplicably plummeting across the globe. Governments remain baffled.

Pineapple on pizza is awesome.

We cancelled Prime when they decided to charge extra to prevent commercials on streaming (enshittification). Then, when our Prime anniversary date came, they charged us for another year anyway. Currently exploring how to get a refund.
