The baby sits down on a little circular pillow: “circle.” Me, absent-minded: “which circle?” Baby: “Jasper circle.”

“More B-Cs,” says the baby, who suddenly very badly wants to know the ABCs. He’s picked up random letters and little bits, so his version goes: “Q-R. Next time. Meeee!”

@jackpersico.bsky.social you will be pleased to know that the toddler just listened to a Rush song on xpn and he was transfixed.

You cannot judge a person's mental health by how well they're doing at work or school, or how well they're taking care of their children, or how they look in a picture, and it is extremely damaging for prosecutors in a high-profile case to make this argument.

I will not start a facebook war with people who think speed limit enforcement on the blvd is annoying. I will not. (estimated to be saving about 1 life/month since they went live!)

Always feel bad when I see a reddit post from a new parent with a 6 week-old asking "when does it start to feel normal again?" Uhhhh. Like maybe year two?

Dear god if you let me be a rich and successful tech worker I promise I'll just get a nice vacation cabin and throw some chill parties instead of spending all my free time writing AI blog posts about which minorities in what countries deserve human rights

My kid is up to 120 words and lots of little phrases like “it’s stuck” and “dump it” and “mama coffee” and “go out” and “dada come.” He’s quite a talker! My current favorite is “more row row” when he wants the boat song. As a side note, why is row row like 5 seconds long.

Me: “what’s your name?” The baby: “baby.” Me: “Jasper?” The baby: “da baby.” I have done this to us.

I have half an eye on the Lindsay Clancy trial, because her situation is terrifying to me. Peripatrum onset of bipolar symptoms, tried many times to get help, was never diagnosed or medicated correctly.

Talked to a few software engineers yesterday who said they never felt like writing code was much like art, so they haven't minded it being AI'd as much, and I guess that surprised me. Maybe it depends what you're coding, I dunno. SaaS? Perhaps not the best manifestation of the human spirit.

Sometimes the baby just wakes up different. This morning he suddenly knows the words for flower, monkey, and spider, and he wants to paint on the water mat instead of just stomping on it.

My baby just repeatedly demanding to see Uncle Al is the sweetest

Commissioning a study on what exactly it is that makes a boomer walk into a coffee shop and, when asked what they want, raise a mug silently and wave it at the barista. Her: “…so, drip coffee…?”

Instagram will be like "we need to talk about this revolutionary water table that's keeping my toddler busy for hours at a time" and it's just a tray on legs with holes, and the video is of a toddler pouring one cup of water into it and then it has to cut because he's already bored.

Can’t wait for my kid to come home demanding to go outside in the death air, too young to get why we shouldn’t

Guys, relax, this is just an effective insurance market where you can hedge against the risk of Trump NOT saying the word "China" while you're doing your teleprompter operator job.

The story of the day - abcnews.com/US/white-hou...

Happy 18 months to our little guy. We’ve got it all going on: 100+ words, tons of opinions, wants to be outside all day, separation anxiety, “no no no no!” But generally, he’s happy and getting SO smart.

Told my husband that this felt like the first weekend of being a new parent that didn’t completely kick my ass.

Couch to 5K but it's writing 5K words without an LLM's help

Baby: “more truck” Me: “we have to wait, but maybe another firetruck will come” Baby: “come truck” Me: lol

*checks notes* ok so the journalist who is reporting on the sexual harassment by the campaign strategist who nominated the sexual assaulter has himself been accused of sexual harassment. Got it.

It actually did turn out this is what happened, lol.

Today in true crime, everyone is debating whether a judge saw a tweet, didn’t understand the timestamp was UTC, and assumed a lawyer had leaked info about a case.

I’m shocked the dude who tried to handwave away the abuse allegations as “a candidate not grown in a vat” also didn’t care about the women he worked with. One could never have guessed.

Who’s “they?”

"We engaged in electoral politics. We motivated people. We banded together. We did it the way that we were told we are supposed to make change, and we won, and now they are not going to let us have it," Platner says.

Have once again been awarded with a special gift for trying to be a good mom and take my baby to an indoor play place: the poops

Asked my 18 month old “which baby did the boo boo” (he was bitten in class today) and he answered me with a name! Impeachable evidence, obvi.

They’re always happy to sacrifice us and our safety!

Anyway, my baby has passed me a cold and I clearly need to log completely off, now.
