We were already driving tonight when my wife realized she'd agreed to drive me to LAX instead of John Wayne even though I wrote LAX in the text & said I could Uber.

A *fun* part of corporate life is having to use your face as a passkey to unlock the Authenticator app so that it can use your face as a passkey to get to your email on your phone.

Disagree with this brand of nostalgia brain. TV was not in fact better when I came home from school & my sister was watching reruns of Fresh Prince instead of something better. It was not better when some nights I ended up watching reruns of stuff like F Troop & Petticoat Junction.

After the "put on the captain's hat" task, Mike Wozniak attempts a 360° while his legs are taped together and, while slowly falling, says "scheisse" softly to himself (YouTube captioned this as "shut up"). This is another thing I actually say when something minor goes wrong.

This quote from John Adams about delegates at the First Continental Congress members is almost exactly what I said to my 9th grade English teacher about my classmates when she suggested I contribute more in discussions.

Photo of a Kindle. The screen reads: "The taciturn Washington, at forty-two, found himself in an assembly of splendid talkers who knew how to pontificate on every subject. John Adams left this slightly mocking commentary on the verbose gathering: 'Every man in it is a great man—an orator, a critic, a statesman, and therefore every man upon every question must show his ora-tory, his criticism, and his political abilities.'"

This is not happening. In some places, school staff are required to use preferred names & pronouns while also being prevented from outing kids to their parents. In some cases it's individual teachers choosing to do this. Some parents then blame the schools for "transing" their kids. 1/3

Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Maria Bartiromo push complete BS about public schools secretly making kids trans without the knowledge of their parents. McMahon says she's doing a number of investigations about it.

Took my 5 year-old nephew to a hot rod car show at an aerospace museum for his birthday. His 2 favorite things of the day? A model of a sea plane rescuing downed pilots from a raft and a dead bird in the street outside the museum.
