Trump Cut Deal To Let *Sinaloa Cartel Members* Into US apnews.com/article/el-c...

Mother's Day is a good time to get back into some baking.

The Penultimate Dragon

Doc Holiday walked so captain jack Sparrow could run

There are some posts I wish I could like twice or three times and this is one.

I think we're ready for Childish Gambino to do the next Superbowl halftime.

I think a giant leap forward in my parenting chops came when I abandoned the idea that respecting my authority was a virtue to be taught. It's so obvious, on this side of that switch.

Now that Justin Trudeau is out will the Red Raids on Oseram villages cease?

I just caught myself saying "this isn't even a real snow storm, it's just a regular snow" and I know I should shut right up before fate decides to do something funny

Ooo...it's the pretty snow

There's a Movie Tavern near our house and I just love it. We took the kids and a friend of theirs to Sonic 3 and had decent pub-fare delivered to our seats. Burgers, salads, shakes and beverages while watching a movie in a real theater is a fantastic business idea. Great night

My wife started reading the Silo series and basically "assigned" it to me. Damn it's good

The most infuriating thing about our modern media is how they frequently elevate incredulousness to a virtue. As if the measure of your seriousness and impartiality is how quickly you can arrive at "I agree with you"

I stopped going to atheist gatherings a while ago. Too much talk about god

How the hell did the comic book industry survive? Seriously, you miss ONE month and you need to backorder the issue from some warehouse clearly located on Mars

one reason why TV ratings on CNN and MSNBC are declining is many people don't want to keep watching bad political journalism, including rage-inducing "debates", interviews where false statements aren't thoroughly questioned, and hosts that tried to justify a "personal visit" with Trump at Mar-a-Lago

It's hard to confuse a product manager, but when you do, you get a real feeling of accomplishment.

I went out to a bookstore just to walk the aisles in the hopes that something would jump out and catch my interest. Picked up The Color of Law, which is something that's been on my to-read list for a while.

I only opened the door to "prove" to the cat that she didn't ~actually~ want to go out in to the cold and snow. It's possible she misinterpreted the gesture

Happy thanksgiving! Or, as we like to call it "National accidental smoke alarm testing day"

The most "software engineer" opinion that I have is that technology is terrible and computers were a mistake.

I bought a guitar. My last guitar I got when I was 17 and I make a little more money now. Currently my favorite song to play is a C major scale

I keep practicing

Caucuses are terrible, awful, and no good but if Iowa picks not-trump today I will 100% reexamine my thoughts here. They won’t, but this is what would falsify my beliefs.

Been struggling with the croissants since we got a new kitchen island and I started using a large silicone mat. started rolling these out on the counter top.

Go Blue!

Finally one of my teams won!!

The great irony of me learning to bake is that my family doesn’t like sweets. Even the 5 year old is like “meh, I’ll have an olive and a glass of water”

These are the best I've made so far

I think we're getting better at this.

Tasty, but kinda flat. Possibly got too warm

It’s actually ok not to speak on matters you don’t have a lot of knowledge about. It’s actually… a sign of humility and wisdom to do that. And as a bonus, you don’t inadvertently show your ass in public!

Apple/Banana/Bourbon thing with leftover pie dough

Me to boys: y'all are deeply hilarious. Boy: YOU'RE deeply hairy-ous Classic.

Good morning, voters. What are you up to today?
