Couldn't straighten my arms after a workout, and when I searched for a fix, I found out that more exercise might help. Is this the adult equivalent of hair of the dog?

Revising a paper really trying to be less of am as*hole toward the opposing views.

Karl was a man of great kindness and intellectual generosity. Though I wasn't his student, he took time to engage with my paper that drew on his work on Kant’s "The End of All Things", offering supportive feedback that meant the world to me.

I was watching my son in Jiu Jitsu, and suddenly I hear all the kids shouting, "Korsgaard!" I asked the parent next to me, "What did they just say?" to which he responded: "close guard"...

I trained the kid to answer "Led Zeppelin" whenever asked what's the greatest band of all time. My work is done.

Oz (5yo): "I'm done with this darkness business"
