Once again positing my theory that in the Near Future there will be luxury models of consumer goods, cars, etc that do not connect to the internet, have physical dials, no touchscreens, etc. they will be /extremely/expensive and called something like “The Traditional Line.”

all four of my kids made me great Father's Day cards/crafts, but my favorite was my eight-year-old making a possum with a pop-up flap to reveal it hissing

"best" is probably Police Squad, but when I was like 8, he gave me a copy of Mad Magazine, with a "I used to really like this when I was a kid" and it was like a holy text I had to do midrash to, studying it carefully to figure out american pop culture, 20th century politics, and human sexuality

on the president's birthday, he threw a big special parade, and an incredible number of people turned out nationwide to express how much they fucking hate the president

it might seem unrealistic that The Devil would be so obsessed with Human Souls, willing to strike all kinds of outlandish bargains or perform elaborate machinations just for the CHANCE to get his hands on one; laser-focused on getting Souls at all costs. but tbh that's how i am with fried chicken

my six-year-old is at a soccer friend's birthday party at the pool of a Comfort Inn. We pulled into the parking lot and she looked at the Comfort Inn and breathed in awe "it's so beautiful..."

i was trying to remember why my plan for tomorrow night was to make fried chicken and get a nice IPA. "I guess it's my birthday?" I thought "am I a year older already? Wait how old am I now?" then I remembered it's father's day. Mystery solved

when I was 6 I had a yellow shirt with a frog on it and loved it; my parents tried to get rid of it when I outgrew it, but I secretly hid it. Somehow it managed to stay in my parents' house for decades, and my 6-year-old wore it yesterday. She said "thanks for saving your shirt for me"

favorite dumb comics thing is how some american guy doing too much coke in the 80s would invent a terrible superhero like "sandwich boy" as a joke and then some british guy doing too many sedatives in the 90s would be like "sandwich boy can create a 'reality sandwich' and is thus a living god"

once when I worked at Tower Records, I sold a CD to Bobby McFerrin. I said "oh! I saw you at the Annenberg Center! You were great!" and he said thanks, but looked very tired, like he was constantly bracing for strangers to say "don't worry be happy! Ha ha! Don't worry be happy, right man? Ha ha ha"

the funniest Parenting Style Trait of the last decade has been the weird attempt to replace corrective "no" with "no thank you" which leads to parents saying "NO THANK YOU" at their kids with the agitated cadence of someone watching a waiter gently place a pile of spiders on their omelet

my kids were asking me if longer movies take longer to make, and I said "not necessarily.." and tried to think of a movie-length story that probably didn't take too long to film, which is how I ended up describing the plot of My Dinner With Andre to my 8-year-old and 6-year-old

a while back my friends were talking about Sabrina Carpenter's "look" and i said i thought she looked like an elderly eastern european grandma made a genie wish to become a young beautiful american pop star, and now my brain has fully slotted that in as her canon origin story

sometimes in a commercial you see an old-world chef sampling a spoonful of his sauce, one hand under the spoon to catch the drips. he's doing that because i'm crouched by his knees, ready to dexterously snarpf up any drips as they fall right in midair

i've noticed that some of my eyebrow hairs are becoming unusually long, to the degree that if they fall out of place they touch my eyelashes. this is the same Secondary Mutation that Professor X had in the 90s
