Bumbling through it like everyone else. If you've got it figured out, spare me the details. I'm mostly worried about getting my kids out the door into a world that isn't on fire in some way shape or other. Admirer of life. Lover of sincerity.

His goal is the complete and total destruction of the United States of America.

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

My son figured out how to do mazes by hacking the psychology of the maze designers. "The fastest way to find the path from the start to the end is to find the route from the end. Then all the routes connect back together rather than splitting off from each other."

With TikTok on the way out @bsky.app should release a video side of this app. It would grow like fire.

This is perhaps my favorite picture book to read to the kids. If you ever see it at the library check it out immediately!

A friend asked where the one F bomb for PG-13 movies should go in LoTR: "Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine... nine f*_* rings were gifted to the race of Men [...]"

A while ago I played Believable Lies (a game where you had to make up facts). The prompt was 'giraffe necks'. I wrote "Baby giraffes are able to stand up before their heads are born." I'll never see giraffes the same way again.

A good example of a privilege people don't realize they have is being able to take off a winter hat and have even sexier hair, rather than it looking like a toupee that was found on a beach.

My kids, whenever they are playing pretend and something needs to explode, yell, "Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!" Which is strangely professional sounding. Turns out they got it from the Slow Mo Guys 😂

The problem with battle royal games is that I'm good enough to last a long time but not good enough to close out the end consistently. Iteration time is high.

I found this chronological list of Mario quotes from the Super Mario Bros Movie humorous

Taking a restroom break from scrolling Bluesky in the living room.

Living out of state in the age of Amazon means not only wrapping all the presents I have for the kids but also, wrapping all the presents all my extended family sent for the kids 😐

Signing the kids up for Minecraft realms and seeing the volume of content that I will probably have to content filter, read, comprehend, and explain to my 5yo was staggering. My "up hill both ways in the snow will" be "there was no wiki or recipe book! If you wanted glass you had to figure it out!"

There is a certain point every winter where the cold and dark set in and make me just want to not do anything ever again except sit with warm drinks and friends. It just snowed here and it's too early for hibernation! I have a job!

In order to dismiss vigilante justice you need to either argue that it wasn't justice or that it shouldn't have been applied through vigilantism because there is a functional process inside the system. The problem is that the govt is asserting the first and isn't even trying on the latter.
