i’m the host of a paywalled subscription podcast that’s loosely based on the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I’m some kind of doctor but not the real kind. we’re #1 on the charts and all our episodes have titles like “burnout: what to do when entrepreneurship has you blue.” i’m worth $300 million

It’s tempting to be like “The Odyssey made a fortune so the casting controversy was fake!” and that’s semi true, but the world’s richest man also posted about it every day for months to hundreds of millions of people on the platform he owns. It was very real to some very influential people!

Most viral Twitter post of 2016: 🔵 @𝗪𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹: We think our fries are pretty good but have it your way, @BurgerKing 😉 Most viral Twitter post of 2026: 🔵 @𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘃𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: If you own a business, like and RT if you agree to NEVER be bisexual

Our kid moving up to the older daycare class really does feel like a prospect being promoted in the minors. She wasn't being challenged on shapes or colors anymore but this new level is exposing her weakness at going to the potty

Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut that’s like “and here’s the famed Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s some random bar with like 450,000 people

Saw a guy wearing a “The best dads come with BEARDS and TATTS” t-shirt who did not have a beard or any tattoos. Have spent most of today thinking about this
