My kid may or may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but you can certainly tell he wants it.
My kid loves two things: watching videos that I took of him, and yelling at me to stop recording videos that I am currently taking of him. And paradoxes.
Teaching my toddler the word “doppelgänger” in case his brother is born with a cat allergy and he needs a non-ableist way to say “stop copying me.”
The fact remains: my son has never been seen in the same room as the Cutie Bomber. Also Spider-Man. Also Superman. So by the transitive property, Spider-Man is Superman—which explains why neither has done anything about the Cutie Bomber.
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.
It’s important to give your kids a healthy sense of self-esteem. Sometimes that means helping them with a puzzle and congratulating them like they did it themselves. Sometimes it means stuffing them in a sack and calling them a leg genius.
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.
This year for Valentine’s Day, our toddler whacked his mother in the head so hard that it made *me* look good. Mostly just in comparison to him, and can’t rule out her head injury as a factor — but either way, what a naughty little wingman.
In which my son demonstrates an early aptitude for our people’s most ancient tradition: complaining, even when everything is going great.
How did we get to a place where the loudest voices on your health aren’t doctors, farmers, or healers… but billionaires, lobbyists, and corporations with something to sell? Time to wake up. Time to take your health back into your own hands. @itsdaverobinson
Bahar from Iran explained why she came to disrupt a pro-Palestine protest. She spoke on the oppression of her people, seeing the US attack as a rescue mission, and the lack of internet access in Iran. She also denies Israel’s occupation in Palestine

Israel says it will sue @nytimes.com over Nicholas Kristof's reporting on the horrible torture of Palestinian prisoners. It's an absurd attack on press freedom meant to further shield any accountability. Watch us count the ways this lawsuit threat is both frivolous and outrageous.
The Trump administration has made everything so expensive even food banks are struggling to fill the shelves. So if you already can’t afford food, it’s hard to get help at places like the Community Pantry in Gallup.

Iran has completely rejected the Trump administration’s demand to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile out of the country, one of Washington’s central conditions in ongoing negotiations. But I’m sure Trump will make some kind of announcement just before the markets open on Monday.
Two wars. One connector: Iran. From the Strait of Hormuz to Odesa -I’ve just covered both in under 48 hours. Iran fights in one theatre, fuels another. Ditto for Russia Overnight strikes in Ukraine prove it.
