The Tweets That Ate The Bronx
Eventually I’ll run out of semi-clever titles for collections of tweets that I’ve recently found interesting. For now you’ll have to bear with me as I use stuff like The Tweets That Ate The Bronx. Which would be scary if it actually happened.

Anyway…
Here’s some stuff found on Twitter that we deemed worthy of being included in a DaddyTips Tweet Roundup. Yee-ha! (Get it? Round-up? Like rodeo? Yee-ha? Oh forget it.)
I have a lot more to say about this than I have time to right now, but here’s the simple version. There is nothing wrong with little kids using iPads or other technology. They also need to develop fine motor skills. So for someone to say “hey, they don’t need to know how to tie their shoes as long as they can play Flappy Bird” is pretty stupid. (Note: that is not a direct quote, I’m making a point.)

Orange is the New Black is back soon. Here’s the new trailer. I haven’t quite finished Season 1, but so far it’s one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen. Not remotely kid-friendly, in case you were wondering. But very very good. Here’s the trailer for Season 2.

The good folks at Babble.com ask, “Could this text message program really prevent teen pregnancy?” Um… maybe? I think the best way to prevent teen pregnancy is sexual education programs. But maybe this way helps too.

Related articles (Note: These are offsite links; DaddyTips takes no responsibility for outside content. None of these links is related to the content above, but we liked all of the suggestions, most of which contain the word “Bronx”. One even involves Tim Tebow. Because when you think about it, everything is about Tim Tebow. Tebow seems to have changed his dog’s name from Bronco to Bronx at some point. OK.)
Katie Holmes & Suri Feed Giraffes in NYC
As much as I dislike the fact that Katie Holmes and her daughter can’t go out in public without being photographed, this is a cute picture of Suri feeding the giraffes at the Bronx Zoo. While the actions of Ms. Holmes, Suri, and Tom Cruise do not affect my life in any way, as a parent I like seeing a famous mom and her famous kid enjoying a normal family activity. Not because they’re celebrities. Because in theory it means that they can, y’know, do normal stuff like go to the zoo without being bothered.
Then again, I’m writing about a picture of them at the zoo. So I can’t say if they were being bothered or not. Maybe the photo was taken by a particularly talented chimp instead of by a crazed paparazzi.
