@Cernovich Your tweets on this topic have turned me into an amateur lifeguard whenever I’m at pools and lead me to having a lot more talks with people about what drowning really looks like. Thanks Cerno

This is rip tide and drowning awareness month. (I made that up.) Drowning doesn’t look like anything, the kid plops in and sinks. Hire a lifeguard if you’re having a party. Most drownings are when a parent is present. Everyone assumes someone is keeping an eye out. No one is.

@LizWolfeReason Solomon has a beautiful eternal family. His life and your perspective on it instills wisdom and meaning in a world where it is sometimes hard to find. I will pray for you and thank God for Solomon.

King Solomon died yesterday at two and a half months old. We loved him really well, and we don't have any regrets. We got nine days at home with him after 61 days in the NICU. Nine will never feel like enough, but we must accept what is given to us––we were never in control. Let's take stock of all God's mercies, how He worked through people: My OB, who heard my conviction about carrying Sol to term even with his disabilities, and supported it fully, with empathy and respect; the nurses in the Lenox Hill NICU, where he spent the majority of his time, who loved him so tenderly, like he was their own; his physical therapist, who saw extreme hope for him despite his disabilities, and tried to make it so; my mom, who put her own life on hold to come live in New York with us for the whole winter, to watch Zev and keep our household running; Zev, who wanted to wear matching pajamas with his brother each night he was home (and some of the nights Sol was in the NICU), who was eager to come to the hospital with us to play in the lobby even though he wasn't often allowed in the NICU, who chose not to be afraid of hospitals or tubes but to touch and kiss and snuggle his brother whenever he was able; @nwilliams030 and @rSanti97, who camped out at the hospital during Sol's final days so we would never feel alone, who watched Zev whenever our family had to dip back down to Texas; the people who covered us in prayer all over the country. Perhaps most of all, I'm grateful for my husband: He wasn't Catholic or pro-life when we met, but life experience has brought him to these beliefs. They ground us now; his faith is steadfast. He didn't leave Sol's side during those final, hardest days. He doesn't falter. Something tragic happened to our family, but we won't become permanently sad or dark; we really believe in God's promises. We're called to hope, no matter what, and the best we can do is serve our children with everything we've got. That's what we did, and in the process we got to glimpse the goodness of the Lord over and over again.

After 61 days in the NICU, our Solomon was finally released last week to come start life at home. Thank you for all of your prayers; it was the darkest, scariest, worst two months of my life. But God showed his grace to us in so many ways, and many people banded together to allow me to spend every single day with him in the NICU. We are so grateful to the nurses who loved him like their own; to his physical therapist who is helping him overcome & adapt to his disabilities; to the doctors who performed his surgery; to our priest who baptized him in the hospital; to the friends and family who packed lunches for us, and watched our toddler, and did our laundry, who prayed with and for us and still do. I am grateful in particular for my husband and my mom, who showed me Christlike grace throughout, and for our 3-year-old, who didn't let his joy become dampened by all this fear and sorrow—an example from which we could all stand to learn. "I remain confident of this," Psalm 27 reminds us. "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." The Lord's goodness has been shown to us every day of these 61. People sometimes denigrate Christians as just those seeking comfort, needing a story to tell themselves. But yes! We are comforted by the Lord. He shows up for us in all kinds of ways, when we're looking—and when we're not. And He looks after the scared and grieving mother, the sick and vulnerable child, the family in need. He did for us, many times over. And many of you did, too, through prayer and acts of kindness. Thank you.

@operationdanish “A toddler who normally sleeps from 7:30 to 6:30 doesn’t simply shift to 8:30 to 7:30 because the clock moved.” Yeah they do. And that is the problem. How will they get to daycare by 7 am Monday if they keep waking up at 730? 12 hours of daycare a day is expensive can’t be late!

Daylight Savings Time Was Clearly Invented by Someone Without Children. This morning the clock changed… again. Most adults will notice it only briefly. Someone will mention feeling a little tired. Coffee might work a little harder (than usual). By Monday the world will have mostly adjusted and the whole thing will fade. But if you have small children, you know the real effects of daylight saving time don’t show up on the clock. They show up early in the morning. Twice a year we run a small experiment on children’s sleep schedules. Adults experience it as a one-hour shift. For children it feels more like moving the rails underneath a train that was already in motion. Young kids run on something closer to an internal metronome than a social schedule. Their bodies expect sleep at a certain time, wakefulness at a certain time, food at a certain time. When that rhythm gets nudged, even slightly, the system becomes unpredictable. Every parent recognizes the pattern. Bedtime takes longer. Wakeups come earlier. The child who had been sleeping peacefully for months suddenly appears in the hallway at 5:30 in the morning, fully convinced that the day has begun. From their perspective, nothing about the world has changed. The sun rises when it always rose. Their body becomes tired when it usually becomes tired. Yet suddenly the adults around them insist that everything has moved by an hour. It’s a little like telling someone gravity starts later now. What daylight saving time exposes is something we often forget about sleep: it isn’t just about how long you sleep. It’s about when. Human sleep is regulated by circadian rhythms… internal biological clocks that coordinate hormones, body temperature, alertness, and metabolism across the day. In adults those systems are surprisingly adaptable. In children they’re still calibrating themselves. Which means the timing matters more. A toddler who normally sleeps from 7:30 to 6:30 doesn’t simply shift to 8:30 to 7:30 because the clock moved. Their body still expects sleep when the biology says it’s time. So the schedule fractures. Bedtime drifts. Mornings arrive earlier than anyone would like. Parents spend a week trying to nudge the system back into alignment. If you’ve lived through it, the rhythm is familiar. For a few days the house feels slightly off. Then gradually the system settles again. What makes daylight saving time interesting is that it reveals how artificial our timekeeping really is. The clock feels like a fundamental feature of the world, but in reality it’s a coordination system we invented for trains, factories, and office schedules. Biology doesn’t care. The circadian system responds to light, darkness, and hormonal cycles. It doesn’t respond to legislation. Adults have ways of compensating. We drink coffee. Stay up a little later. Push through a groggy morning. Children don’t. Which is why parents tend to notice something the broader culture mostly ignores: daylight saving time isn’t really a one-hour shift. It’s a small, twice-yearly reminder that human sleep runs on an older clock. The one written into biology long before anyone invented daylight saving time.

@SarahTheHaider Not sure if serious. It could be reckless, but that depends on the dog owner’s expertise level. A few people are skilled at reading, understanding and leading power-breed dogs. Most are not, even though they might think they are.

@ElectricKennedy @SarahTheHaider Typical doesn’t mean normal or acceptable. Not gonna soapbox but maybe people shouldn’t wade in the water there? Someone could be making their first or last trip to dc to pay respects. people asking for reverence of the memorial have a valid viewpoint.

@SarahTheHaider As someone who's visited DC a lot, briefly lived there and has family there, yeah that's totally normal. As people commenting harshly on this have no clue how goddamn hot and sweaty DC is in the summer so being able to wade in the water is a huge relief

@waitbutwhy we add about 5 years to your combined age. want to go for third. Main justification - parenting has been such a wonderful phase of life, why not bring someone else into the world that will experience such joy themselves (ideally 20-30 years down the line - vs 40!)

@flabbytofit99 I notice I am similarly harsh to my eldest (in small doses of course). But it still hurts when it happens. you hit the nail on the head as to why. Fixing my own shortcomings will go much farther in him seeing how to fix his own - then me lecturing him.

One night I was putting my son to bed. He was maybe 5 or 6. It had been a long day and I was done with his behavior. Completely done. So I let out my frustration in a vicious cut down and closed his door. We had a sound monitor. My wife heard it from our bedroom. As I walked past she stopped me: "I know you're annoyed, but is that how you want to end the day with him?" I walked back in. Apologized. Told him I shouldn't have said that. He forgave me right away. But here's what I realized: I wasn't disciplining him. I was using him as my emotional punching bag. Releasing MY stress by dumping it on a 5-year-old who couldn't fight back. And the worst part? It wasn't about him at all. I was exhausted. Out of shape. Running on 5 hours of sleep. I had nothing left in the tank so I took it out on my kid. That's not parenting. That's being a coward. HERE'S WHAT I LEARNED: Your kids aren't your therapist. They're not your stress relief. They're not there to absorb your bad day. When you snap at them because YOU'RE tired, YOU'RE stressed, YOU'RE overwhelmed? You're teaching them: • Their feelings don't matter • They're responsible for your emotions • Love comes with conditions That one moment? My son probably doesn't remember it. But if I made it a pattern? He'd carry that into adulthood. THE FIX ISN'T COMPLICATED: Stop blaming your kids for your lack of self-control. If you're constantly losing it on them, the problem isn't them. It's you. You're: • Not sleeping enough • Not taking care of your body • Not managing your stress • Not creating margin in your life You can't pour patience from an empty cup. Get in shape. Sleep more. Create space in your day. Because your kids deserve a dad who's regulated. Not one who uses them as a pressure valve.

Yet my account grows continually, attracts high quality mutuals, etc. Chud Incel types are a small minority, even on X. Something about me drives them nuts, and they have a lot of time to post, but it has very little impact on general account performance.

I don't care what the NBA allows, or how rules language gets interpreted ... Dribbling, picking up your dribble, using your right foot as your pivot foot, getting stuck and getting out of trouble only by lifting that foot to push off the other foot should not be allowed.

Our sweet Sol has taken a turn for the worse in the NICU. We're lucky we got a few days with him off of breathing tubes--to nurse and play and snuggle--but now he's so sick we're not even able to hold him. We would love your prayers for wise King Solomon, our sweet baby.
