@atrupar Grew up in a tiny PA town in the 70s and on my block was a little store, on the corner, and it was actually called The Corner Store.

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

@uknowwhy222 @HQNewsNow data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.I…

@HQNewsNow and this has nothing to do with waving in millions of unvaxxed, undocumented third-worlders??

RFK Jr: There's a global measles epidemic, we've done better in preventing it than any country in the world Rep. Sanchez: There is no country that has seen a bigger percentage increase than us

@Autistic_Lauren Great at original Spyro. Can’t grasp Skylanders pov.

Asking autistics, have you ever struggled with video games due to hand-eye coordination difficulties?

@NASA Where’s Rise? 🤍

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

LIVE: They are coming home. Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@Her_Nonymous_D I don’t recall noticing anyone wearing an eyepatch in the last 15 years. But when my daughter was 3, we saw six different eyepatch-wearing people in the span of a month. She was CONVINCED they were pirates and got louder and more excited every time.

Today at the grocery store, I was reminded, once again that toddlers are not on your side. At all. 😭 I was just standing there, minding my business, trying to decide what soda to get. You know, normal, peaceful, adult things. I casually go, “Hmm… I don’t like those.” Next thing I know, my 3-year old points boldly, confidently, and LOUDLY at the only two people in the aisle and asks: “Why do you not like those people?” My soul left my body. I’m scrambling, “Not the PEOPLE! The sodas! I don’t like the sodas!” 😩 But at that point, it didn’t even matter. Those already people heard. I heard. Even God heard it too. The embarrassment settled in permanently. And the worst part? This child had the audacity to just stand there like he said something completely reasonable. No remorse. No hesitation. Just vibes. But wait, because this is clearly a pattern. Last week at the farmers market, we were standing around waiting for my husband to come back from the bathroom. Everything was calm. Peaceful. I was enjoying the moment. Out of nowhere, my 3-year old locks eyes with a random elderly man across from us, points, and asks…

@PrettyLiesAlibi Just did that with 19yo at @FamousFootwear on Monday lol

Every time 🤣

@NASAArtemis My pup’s name is with you! 🐶

Did you send your name aboard Artemis II??? If you did, then your name is literally in my pocket!! And every time you see me floating around the Orion spacecraft — that’s where your name is! With ME! Don’t worry — I’ve kept your names safe as I’ve flown around the Moon 🫡 -Rise

@ReciprocitEye @astro_Pettit Better to be pissed off than pissed on

@astro_Pettit They must be seriously pissed about this.

The Collapsable Contingency Urinal (CCU) now being used on Artemis 2 after a toilet malfunction. Essentially an open container (reusable, sealable, and drainable) that controls the urine-air interface using capillary forces like my Space Cup does coffee. When you are in cislunar space with a broken toilet, you need contingencies and the CCU replaces the need for about 25 pounds of diapers.

@JohnnyBCCB @adottodn @EternianBorn @HQNewsNow The linked document lists out, under each department, programs being reduced or eliminated and includes the dollar amount affiliated with each. Everything I’ve looked at so far matches up with the “assertions” listed in the post.

@adottodn @EternianBorn @HQNewsNow Does that really support these assertions or not? I’m honestly curious. You’re just linking the budget but it would take a lot of research to compare these proposals to the current expenditure on each.

@dmesg @MsBlueLipstick @tonyposnanski Maybe we didn’t watch it on one of the big three, but my kids watched the last launch of Discovery live while sitting/laying in little chairs flat on the ground (trying to be like astronauts lol). And I definitely watched Challenger live; was in middle school

@MsBlueLipstick @tonyposnanski That was true in the early 80s. But the last Shuttle launch that got broadcast live on the networks was the first Discovery launch in 1984. It's literally why psychologists use this as an example of mass false memory.

@ChefReactions @HarneyTea Hot Cinnamon tea, especially when it’s chilly out

@albertdrosphoto Bee loves me, bee loves me not 🌸

UPDATE: He IS actually carrying the petal! In response to yesterday's photo, I checked the sequence of the shot and it appears the bee is indeed taking the petal and flying away with it. I have never seen something like this before!

@ph43701 @mary_stapleto @dcpetterson Glad for you. I’m helping a young adult whose home life hasn’t been great. The hoops to jump through to get state ID & replacement SS card are ridic. She can’t get SS card online, must go in person. Day of appt is blizzard. Next appt 3months out. Can’t get bank acct without ID.

@mary_stapleto @dcpetterson Nope - I did it online, I have not set foot in a SS office in 50+ years and I'm mid 70s. Had Medicare card re-issued also.

It's hard to tell of MAGAts are stupid, or are intentionally dishonest. Probably both.

@SquidyUK I stumbled upon his wedding photo session in Central Park back in ‘99; thanks for reminding me!

Guess what happened today.

@onepeloton 6/9/21 10 min barre with Hannah. Don’t ever delete it!

What’s one class you wish you could take again for the first time?

@ogtomvalenzuela @airport_girl @nazzobetweeting I know it’s a typo/autocorrect, but all I can picture is a turkey in a brining bag all snug in a roasting pan. In the overhead bin 🦃 🤭

@airport_girl @nazzobetweeting Amen!!! I'd put whatever I am brining in up there. Don't care if it is a suit case or backpack or whatever!!!

if you put your fucking BACKPACK in the overhead storage bin on a FULL TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHT you deserve to be put on the no-fly list forevermore

@moorehn @pastasnack_e Now I need to go watch Bosom Buddies

@pastasnack_e This was especially great for young women! youtube.com/watch?v=UrHmeI…

Lots of people's social & romantic lives could be vastly improved if it was normal for young adults to live in college dorm-style accommodation in city centres until they were ready to set up home properly. Why doesn't this exist? I think there would be a market for it!

@CheribirdCanFly @hell_line0 I say “Not today bladder, not today!”

@hell_line0 Is there some kind of sound trick I can use so that I can win the race to the toilet when I need to pee?

Make a stupid sound when you unplug the straightener or hot tool. Then you can remember unplugging it cause the vocal stim releases dopamine. This is a well known Japanese technique called Shisa Kanko and it totally works!!!!

@hell_line0 Ahhhh. I do a funny little dance or strike a goofy pose. I think I usually accompany it with narration of *why* I’m doing it, lol. (“I’m stomping my feet here to remember I put the dog’s harness and leash in this cabinet!”)
