Four thoughts about Shane Gillis: SG is what happens when people with standards say no, and people without standards say yes. SG is the kind of guy that could attend a Ted Talk called “why I’m breaking up with Shane Gillis” and walk out of it going “I just don’t understand what went wrong!”

Happy Ironman World Championship day to all who celebrate! 🤘
Romcom called “dating by text” that takes place in a submarine. … … everyone is confused. … … … … … because of all the sub text.
Long ago, in the before (kids) times, I would run 10.8 miles on my birthday. I'm working to get my miles back up, with the ludicrous (unless you know me) goal of completing the 2032 Ironman California in 2032. In the meantime, here's a shot of 1.08mi into my 3mi run this morning. This is 49.
Spent my whole Saturday morning disassembling the bunk bed and reassembling it downstairs and shifting the twin bed from downstairs to upstairs, all to the tune of Rammstein and related artists, and now I’d love to do nothing for the rest of the day but that’s not how parenting works. 😭
Aim for pretty good, and you’ll always miss, striking higher. Aim for perfect, and you’ll always miss, striking lower. Any effort above 80% is inverted. You think you’re operating at 100%, but only achieving 60%.
Did you go to school in Texas? Did your history class discuss the Lipan Apache and our profound impact on the state? No? It’s okay! I got you covered! Seriously, my HS history teacher (from Texarkana) didn’t know we exist/existed. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent...

So weird to be on the same timeline as everything wrong in the world + Sir Anthony Hopkins releasing a classical album + Andrew W.K. releasing a fanastic jazz album that sounds like a soundtrack for a gritty film noir.
When a machine carrying out its tasks accidentally behaves unexpectedly due to an unforseen variable entering its operation space, thats not sentience, or acting with intent to "break free of its human masters". Its an error in the safety protocols. Every other framing is industry hype.
Neighbor asked if I wanted a massive bag of plums harvested from her trees, which turned into me and the kids helping harvest, which turned into the kids setting up plum stands on opposing corners, but in a pseudo collaborative fashion. Same price, individual profits.
I wonder how challenging and/or expensive it is to rig a tight beam, angle-adjustable emp device to a bicycle.
I’ve switched to writing my WIP by hand. It slows me down enough to naturally add more details into each scene. When typing I tend to quickly knock out what happens as the scene plays in my head. By hand, it takes so much longer to write each sentence that I have time to look around and notice more.
Just learned of Tristram Shandy from the Daniel Handler memoir and it makes me wonder if the town of Tristram from Diablo was named as a reference due to the constant digressions from the main quest that one can find oneself on.
books are one of the few things in life that consistently give back more than they are given.
As a cis man dating cis women, you maximize your chances of not getting murdered by not physically abusing your partners. As a cis woman dating cis men, you maximize your chances of getting murdered by… NOT dating or marrying them.
Just a reminder that cis women kill male partners to survive and cis men kill female partners to control and punish them. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The main problem with having children is it often forces you to deal with feelings before you’ve had any coffee.
I’m reading this on Libby and it is very good, nuanced, and surprisingly progressive.

It’s amazing how many “that’s a bad thing, actually” talking points come out of watching the first Ironman with your child.
Just realizing the same dystopia/utopia line between Star Wars / Star Trek could be drawn between House of Cards & West Wing. HoC of course made doubly so by its lead actor being actual garbage as well. Real tired of dystopian fiction being used as a template for reality. Wealth&power is a blight
Idea for a tv show with long fuse jokes ala arrested development that all lead to a super cringey season 6, episode 7 meme/joke fest that gets it canceled.
Just now realizing the image was reversed 🤦. I have become my own grandpa. Here’s the fix:
Real alphas donate, @littlestcabbage.bsky.social
It was obvious from their first words that the child would grow to be a great ninja. When told they could not do something, they were always swift to reply with: sure I can.
In accordance with the rites of the blood feud, I ate a large bowl of raw garlic, broccoli, and Gorgonzola for breakfast. The dentist will __suffer__
