I know most guys say they pull their own weight around the house, but in my family, I really do carry most of the invisible labor [my wife unsheathes her ninjatō and eviscerates me with a swift behind-the-back battōjutsu while simultaneously holding a kicking four-year-old under her dominant arm]

Today in parenting joys: my daughter has found her two favorite buttons in her say-the-word book. For the last twenty minutes it’s been customer. dinosaur. customer. dinosaur. customer. dinosaur. customer. [slight pause] dinosaur.

In ‘94 I wanted to be OJ for Halloween, so I got orange poster board and made myself into a can of frozen orange juice. I had a Bills helmet for candy. I wanted to do blackface too but my parents said no and taught me why that was wrong. Or they didn’t, I can’t remember. Either way blackface is bad

Sure 2026 is dogshit, but remember 2025? Also dogshit. 2024? Dogshit. 2023? Dogshit. 2022? Dogshit. 2021? Dogshit. 2020? Dogshit. 2019? Dogshit. 2018? Dogshit. 2017? Dogshit. 2016? Dogshit. 2015 was ok

You turn to Page 52. You see a picture of the Prinçe of Dolphins and you are immediately reminded of your desiccated American pœnis! A wry smile spreads across your panko-encrusted face
