Surround yourself with people comfortable saying, “That’s fucking stupid,” when you say something fucking stupid.

Rolled credits on the series finale of Cobra Kai. Pure definition of better than it has any right to be. Loved every minute.

BALD SUPERVILLAIN: My plan Mr. Bond? It’s quite simple. To offer the people of the world reliable cloud computing and flash sales at rock bottom prices with next day delivery. BOND: (tied up and recently tortured) I have no meaningful objections to this.

I think too many "tech leaders" watched Silicon Valley and didn't realize it was parody but rather a source for inspiration.

I for one think it’s super cool that we can show an AI the first 5 minutes of a video game and it can learn and rebuild it for future preservation. I’m gonna try it with a lot of games I’ve missed over the years like Frog Fractions and Inscryption

Had a momentary existential panic, but good news, I’m not older than Jeff Bridges was when he made The Big Lebowski.

You should support him. I just did.

Shoutout to the other parents hiding from their kids because you’re tired of their bullshit. 🤣

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Chris Evans with the “cool substitute teacher at Bayside who’s about to hit on Kelly” vibe at the premiere.

I've seen folks poo pooing online, but I think Thunderbolts* looks fun as hell. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUUs...

Gotta give it to Trump — he knows how to pick a winner & JINX the fuck out of that “Missouri” team he loves so much. @chiefs embrace Donald and lose, just like everything else that rapist beast touches.

i made this transparent kendrick for you to enjoy

At this point the Eagles might as well put Bradley Cooper in at quarterback.

Nothing like my kiddo misunderstanding something I said and now she’s 100% convinced I know Kendrick Lamar. Nothing I can say will dissuade her. Now she’s gonna give off “uncle works at Nintendo” energy at school tomorrow. 🤦‍♂️

Refs remain undefeated in the Super Bowl.

Ditto.

School district, you don’t have to message me at 7pm telling me you’ll be monitoring the weather and road conditions in the morning. You’ve been closed for 3 days. My kids have been home that entire time. No way you’ll be monitoring those conditions more than I will.

So. Cool! www.tombraider.com/news/collabo...

I didn’t know what Dog Man was before today. As of this post, I still don’t know what it is. I’m ok living in ignorance on this one.

Despite no change in my usage or behavior on Facebook, they've started serving me a TON of right wing Reels. Already seeing how they're tilting the algorithms to try and change minds. Scummy.

Oldest kiddo: "What is an echidna?" Me (not fully understanding what she said): "Can you use it in a sentence?" Oldest kiddo (speaking slowly): "What is an echidna?"

Why is this lady in the tax commercial dressed like Wario?
