It’s a cool biological adaptation that just as boys get old enough to stop absolutely coating their faces in food every meal, they begin to grow facial hair. Like somehow evolution just knows that male faces are genetically gross when directly exposed to the elements.

One of the most important parenting skills is knowing when to say no to your toddler — ideally before they get their tiny little hands on a sharp knife.
“So act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.” — Immanuel Kant, talking about my kid trying to get a stray cat to tickle his feet when the cat clearly has ends of its own it’s pretty busy tickling.
There are, I imagine, worse things that can happen when your kid finds the back massager.
In which my son demonstrates an early aptitude for our people’s most ancient tradition: complaining, even when everything is going great.
In this house we believe in hands-on learning. Today I learned that if you secretly film your kid singing, he will lay hands on you. Most father-son violence in an ABC song since the Jackson 5.
It can be difficult to stay in shape as an old dad, but the key is just to find a way to incorporate your kid into the workout, and be ready for a small but noticeably life-altering injury about once every three reps.
Toddler won’t nap because he’s hopped up on horse (please don’t quote this without the video).
I knew parenting would entail improvisation; I didn’t realize it would involve so much interpretive dance.

I guess my questions are 1. How did the Axios writer get these military documents? 2. How were they allowed to freely discuss what was in said military documents, in an article, that is broadly public for anyone to see? America..we in danger y'all! Only we can save us. #SheShed #Cuba

2/3 Galați [pronounced Galatsi] is Romania's 8th biggest city, and also a port on the Danube. As we've seen in the statement, two people suffered minor injuries, so it could have been a lot worse. This is the moment the Russian UAV hit the apartment block in Romania.
If we are serious about ending the horror of children assaulted in raids, families attacked in their homes, and villages set on fire, then we have to understand: this will not stop on its own – it will only end when the occupation ends – and all of us can join the fight to end it. (4/4)
