This is the dream.

What’s the background music? Brass or strings?

Just came back from some skating with my 4yo! I keep telling her even adults need to practice to be good at stuff πŸ™‚

I’m a fan of the that cover. I haven’t read Kingsnorth since 2020 though, so I’d be interested in your take on it.

I tend to agree with reactionary diagnoses but the solutions, not so much!

That sounds like… the best.

Ganging up on the Big Bad sounds much better than fussing with brackets. Besides, I love being part of scrappy group that eventually loses to a more powerful opponent β€” epic losses are fun!

My favourite part is that the American athletes got a big cheer before the cameras cut to him.

This is why I try my best to call restaurants directly for orders, and do pick up when possible.

It limits choices, but I don’t *need* to choose from hundreds of restaurants for delivery.

The series finale vindicated my take on Hopper here, which I’m quite pleased about.

It's wild that people used to go to movie theaters for films about people going through people type stuff.

I played a mini adventure with my 4yo today, and it was such fun. She tackled a puzzle and a battle!

The deep sadness one feels when their 4yo refuses to let you play the Bluey soundtrack…
