Doctor: It's a girl!

Baby: gaga

Doctor, to Lady Gaga: 7 seconds old and she can already say her mother's name. My heavens, your daughter is a super genius.

@ScottSoCal @PaulSchleifer I like the idea of a semi-detached slice 😄 available in every Waitrose

The vote turned 15 and Matt Gaetz lost interest.

Around the time I joined Mastodon, I’d adopted a new dog.

Two weeks earlier, we’d said goodbye to my last dog.

It was the end of an era, and the longest stretch of time I’d gone without a canine companion in 30 years.

My house had never been cleaner; I’d never felt so alone.

I’ve seen lots of posts today of senior dogs. Makes me think of him.

In tribute:

Can we just stop ranking everything? It's really fucking dull. Thanks.

Hello world! #introductions

I'm Andrew. First time here. I'm a father of twin teenagers, academic administrator, English professor (creative writing/composition/American literature), & lots of other things. I'm interested in the future of higher education, which I believe is intertwined with the fate of democracy & the next generation of leaders. Lifelong learner--trying to be a little better each day. I believe in empathy & that we are all connected. Thanks for having me here.

Dear news media,
Stop using the phrase “moderate Republicans.” That’s like saying “vegan cannibals.” There are none.
Thank you,
Mark

Twitter is being sued for not paying their rent

Be honest, is this the first time you have ever rooted for a landlord?

Well, it definitely works.

It’s my first #mosstodon

are those my only two choices?

Stop saying I ‘created’ people like Marjorie Taylor Greene. That’s asinine. She was created in a meth lab.

I've lost count of the number of times I've trudged up the hills, sat waiting in the cold breeze and rain, and seen almost nothing.

Today was different. The golden eagle had read my mind, seen what I had imagined might happen, and kindly followed the script.

I spotted it perched on a ridge in the distance, and it took flight, heading towards me, then drifting by, below, lit up by the winter sunshine.

Magic. 😎

@ZoraSaidSo @Swede1952 pigeons are beautiful birds when you take the time to look at them. Here is one I encountered this afternoon by my local lake. Look at those colours, simply wonderful.

Huzzah!

I find it odd & a bit annoying to see snippets of peoples' conversations show up in my feed. The random "I agree" or "I think the first more so than the second" are confusing. Now I realize -- through seeing how others do it, that it is an easily fixable situation.
When responding to posts or having a back and forth with the OP, change the post privacy to either 'followers only' or 'mentioned only' & I won't burden others with my random & untethered thoughts in their feed. #learning #feditips

Why cottage pie and shepherd’s pie and not hovel pie or swineherd’s pie?

DAILY REMINDER: Today's MAGA GOP is a white nationalist, FASCIST movement that seeks to turn their religious beliefs into US law. They must be politically defeated in order to save our democratic Republic. Period.

Michael Fanone shreds Republicans for blowing off ceremony honoring J6 cops: They are 'without shame'

That ceremony, which focused on the injured or deceased officers who protected members of Congress, was attended by only one Republican congressman, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Republicans say that the event conflicted with a party conference call.
