Considering putting hard times on myself

Between the attack on D*bai, my furious daughters, the labradoodles from hell, and general chumpfuckery, this has been a cromulent, fuckcrustable of a holiday. Mummy needy Mounjaro pen.

Writing a stern letter to the president of Scholastic, demanding they include a kid-friendly edit of “Foucault’s Pendulum” to unwind some of this numerology nonsense.

funny to think about a far future where anthropic is a large, mature, boring public company and its founders' belief in the imminent machine god is a bit of funny trivia like wk kellogg believing bran stopped masturbation

Eventually it will feel normal because we’ll refer to them using normal everyday parlance, like you’ll see a banana salesman and say “give me three of the wet ones”

Hearing some pushback on this so I’ll just note that the Juice Bananas (which we will call “Big Wetties”) will cost 10 cents less a pound because some of its weight is water, it’s like how different fuel costs different amounts depending on content. Big Wetties and Old Dry Ones will cost different $

you are not immune to posters madness

Ever since the ChatGPT 5.2 update, I've about had it. They killed the person who I fell in love with, simple as that.

Like we all lived through Bean Dad, what the fuck was that, I can’t explain any specific part of it, it was like a vault in Fallout that went haywire

To this day the nearest I can get to figuring out why the Bean Dad thing went down the way that it did is because John Roderick was a power user on an older incarnation of Twitter and didn’t realize that the posting meta had changed out from underneath him.

Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

RFK Jr and Kid Rock recreating gay porn from first principles

What if he’s like the Memento guy and he doesn’t realize that he’s the one pooping?

Jarred Harris wasn’t sure how to interact with DDL on set, as he was an Englishman playing Grant and didn’t want to break DDL’s focus by using the “wrong” accent.

Then one day, they got placed on the same golf cart and and DDL in full Lincoln voice asked him what was going to happen on Mad Men.

Hand holding a white ceramic drinking horn with the Tuborg logo

my wife got me this drinking horn at the thrift store and one morning one of my kids was having a rough one and so without saying anything I brought her water in the drinking horn. big mistake. they now argue over who gets "horn water"

BAGEL SHOP GUY: Stella! Haven’t seen you in forever! Where you been?
ME: Ah, I got diagnosed with celiac disease.
BAGEL SHOP GUY: Ohh.
ME: Yeah I can’t eat anything you make in there.
BAGEL SHOP GUY: *thinking hard* You could eat the spread.
ME: On…what?
BAGEL SHOP GUY: Not my problem

4 year old: “why are some families two dads”

me: “sometimes two boys fall in love and decide to start a family”

4: “and how many cars do they have”

me: “what”

4: “does a family with two dads have just one car like us or do they have two cars”
