This makes sense to me This is good
i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else
While on leave I did get caught up on some some AppleTV+ shows I hadn't yet indulged. Some good (really enjoying Silo) and some so bad I found myself hate watching (The Last Thing He Told Me, which has a good cast but whose characters have to be some of the dumbest people alive).
My tween was tripped out to stumble across this AI of fake toddlers singing a Katseye song (think KidzBop but somehow worse) and now I play it for her just to troll her. Swear to god I might play this the first day of fall semester as students file in.

The now 11 year old does this all the time. When he was 5 he learned to play chess at school and got overly upset when he lost, so we had some talks about sportsmanship. Then he presented me with a mixed up Rubiks Cube and said, "since grown ups like losing so much, here's a game for you."
bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris
That would be @jeremylittau.com and I was unprepared for the volume of Alf hog
Tomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.
The real lifehack is in creating the disease so you can sell the cure.
oh come on

Started 14 weeks of training for the October half marathon today. At a bit of a deficit since I am just getting back from medical leave and also was dealing with some shin splint issues, but it’s good to have a goal. #runsky

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool
Having goons get in kayfabe fights on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, stamping his name on the Kennedy Center, dirt bikers doing jumps in front of the White House, the juxtaposition is meant to convey that the tacky and disgusting has triumphed over the sacred.
Once more, the point of having military guards in full dress at the White House Nitro Circus sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee Company isn’t that this all presents a coherent vision of America. It’s a show of dominance, of publicly degrading our symbols and institutions to proclaim that they own them.
Is this the Cooter County Junior Fair?
I did not expect Widow’s Bay to be so laugh-out-loud funny. Best show I’ve streamed in a while.
I was thinking all week about my former LA Daily News colleague Scott Magoloff, who was taken from us way too soon by cancer four years ago. He was easily the biggest Knicks fan I knew and I wish he was here with us so we could watch him go nuts.
guy who's really into scaffolding logging on to bluesky for the first time tonight: holy shit
imagine drawing a crowd in the middle of the night to watch them remove your name from a building
99 minutes until the compliance deadline.
Off medical leave this week with small steps back. Feeling stronger every day and have appreciated the kind notes. To celebrate, I volunteered at the Great South Side Sale that Lehigh does every year to raise money for local kids. Including THIS GUY who will be 15(!) soon & folds pants like a boss.
We got a new oven last week after our old one went bust. I’ve never used one made after 2005 so the whole convection / WiFi thing is weird. But also I regret to announce I am becoming an Air Fryer Person (10 years after the trend).
