My kid sat down in front of the fireplace and announced, "I'm going to watch the fire like a streamer." Now he's staring into the fire yelling "OH MY GOD THAT TWIG JUST CAUGHT FIRE ARE YOU SEEING THIS RIGHT NOW WHAAAAT"

Given past inclinations toward making it a payment app, I'd lay good odds the end game here is to force all federal payments to go through X.

Ten years ago, today, I sent a Mac Mini up to a data center in Milwaukee to run a project that never really got off the ground. I've just called it home. Mixed feelings about that: it had become a sort of white elephant, but I hate to see a project officially die like this. Until the next one.

End of a night flight last night, gaining eight night landings, the first I’ve had for almost three years.

"It is also noteworthy that Respondent emailed photographs of herself to Counsel for the Administrator ... which depict Respondent standing, smiling, and extending her middle fingers while in a hospital gown." Not an effective answer to a professional conduct complaint, by the way.

Doing a Narbonic archive dive today, I was startled to see @thejillthompson.bsky.social show up: narbonic.com/comic/shaeno... (page 2, 3d panel). @shaenon.bsky.social drew that, and I first read it, about 15 years before I met Jill (in a non-comics context). This feels more significant than it is.

From one New Year's baby to all the others: you're gonna hate this birthday for about the next fifteen or twenty years. It gets better, I promise. (For one thing, you'll probably get your birthday off each year for free.) Congratulations to all the new parents.

FINALLY! Not cover “C” that I’d ordered because the distributor is still holding out on my local shop, but at least I got this and it’ll make a nice birthday present to myself for tomorrow.

For the first night in about a year (or a little less), I have nothing to write. (Other than this post, I mean.) I finished this "season's" scripts last night, and I really don't know what to do with myself for the next couple of weeks.

A pot of Cincinnati Chili is on the stove for tomorrow’s potluck and gift exchange at work, and wow it smells nice in here. No spaghetti to go with it, because that’s not how we ate it at home, and yes I would eat pasta sauce straight up, and have.

I’ve had a Shakespeare twofer this week. “Macbeth” out in the neighborhoods last weekend and “Pericles” out on the Pier tonight.

"What are you doing?" "Oh, just...running CT scans on my old toys." "Uh...why?" "Practice. And to find out why this one has no neck."

Sitting at work hearing that Trump Tower (Chicago) is putting out smoke. We have a bunch of electric utility people worrying about that.

Something about being asked this morning by the waitress at the Golden Nugget if I was over 55 yet nags me. She was very kind about it, and just wanted to see if I could save a couple of dollars with the senior discount. But time creeps up on us all.

I wanted to reflect on living in Chicago for a year and discovering it through art and the people in my community. Thanks @eveewing.bsky.social for writing one of my new favorite comics and Selene Gill at my local comic shop. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...
