Social media has helped me immensely and provided opportunities, experiences, and friendships that serve as part of the very foundation of my life. Social media also may have accelerated society's ruin and made everything perpetually unbearable.

I cannot imagine being a first responder and finding two dead kids and a choked infant whose mother then jumped out a window. There can't be many other scenarios more horrifying than that and I have to imagine that stays with you always. Hope they're getting help, too.

On the train, a guy a seat in front of me sneezed—and inadvertently farted. Exuberant "ACHOOO" followed by a softer but very identifiable quack of a fart. He froze. Heads nearby slowly turned toward him. He uttered "Wow. Excuse me. Unexpected." Never change, commuter rail.

When my oldest (14) was born my wife had PPD compounded by (then undiagnosed) bipolar. It was the darkest time of our lives. Terrifying. Please get help. Quickly. Guys, if you see things aren't right, get her help. Force it if need be. Lives can literally depend on it.

This story about the mom from Duxbury murdering her young kids is so horrific. There are some things that are simply unforgivable. Abusing or killing children? Unforgivable. Period. End of story.

My 7-year-old son drew a really sweet picture of Martin Luther King Jr. Except, well, I mean... You see it, right?? My wife says I'm crazy but how do you not see it???

Tommy: "Dad, try this TikTok dance!" Me: "That looks doable, I'll give it a shot." [jumps one time which causes a massive crack/pop noise] Tommy: "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?" Me: "My knee. Maybe my ankle, too." Tommy: "Being old is awful." Me: "No cap." Tommy: "DAAAAAD!"

Someone just compared me to "grumpy Toby Ziegler from West Wing" and I've never received a more meaningful unintentional compliment.

There was red in the sink after I flossed & brushed but I couldn't find where it was coming from so I panicked & promptly diagnosed myself with some kind of mouth cancer & told my wife I was dying. Then I realized I drank red Gatorade after my Peloton workout. I'M NOT DRAMATIC!

Josh Allen now has 8 postseason games under his belt. He's 4-4 and hasn't advanced to the Super Bowl. But please tell me more about how he's a big game QB when he's .500 in the playoffs.

"No one knows what is better for a child's education than their parents." This is dumb and untrue. Teachers know how to educate best. They went to school for it and studied it. For years. Many parents never even finished school. So many conservatives promote idiocy.

Our schools are for education, NOT indoctrination. We must get kids back to fundamentals of learning & empower parents with the tools to challenge the curriculum when it falls short of expectations. No one knows what is better for a child’s education than their parents.

Some days it's truly a glorious wonder to be a parent and you stand amazed at how you got so lucky. Other days they're so terrible that you parent solely to fulfill the bare minimum obligations because you are legally required to care for them.

Is it possible to oppose drag story hours and not be a Nazi? Sure. But it should alarm the hell out of you that your allies are mainly Nazis. Basic rule of life: If you find yourself siding with white supremacists it's time to reevaluate.

The continues to be unable to determine what is and isn't a catch on a minute-by-minute basis. It's ludicrous and hurts the sport. That was a catch by Chase.

Anyone who has paid a shred of attention over the last two decades knows Tony Dungy is an anti-LGBTQ+ religious fundamentalist whose views are unequivocal garbage. So OF COURSE he retweeted the debunked litter box crap. That's who he is—terrible.
