It's bad enough that my toddler was up for hours in the middle of the night, was it truly necessary for the DREAM version of him to then refuse to sleep?

I had dozens of data points at least! They just had nothing to do with each other

Did you know it's possible for the R squared value of a trendline to be 3x10^-5? Fortunately the point I was making was the two series AREN'T correlated but I think I made Excel cry...

Everyone says what a shame it is that no one wears hats anymore so I'm being the change I want to see and also avoiding migraines

After the last episode of Print Run I feel the need to inform @lzats.bsky.social that you can just wear hats. I do it daily. Passersby often tell me how good the hats look.

Turns out the size difference between a skinny toddler and a chonky cat is... Well my toddler just went through the cat flap on the baby gate

The thing about getting a new phone is now I have to teach it to swear and all the fandom words

When I am forced to actually call a company to do something I would appreciate not IMMEDIATELY hearing a recording helpfully informing me I can do many things online

We have a new analysis tool at work and I'm just clicking through data going "Ooh, I have BUTTONS!"

Can someone please explain why toddler hats you can't tie to said toddler exist?

Ad transitions from @iwriteok.bsky.social are even funnier when the ad is "if you hit a moose with your vehicle, you WILL die". This is a bit of a Canadian problem.

"I'm sorry your easel can't phase through matter" is one of those unexpected sentences

Picking anyone as my favourite character in Sunrise on the Reaping other than Haymitch was going to end badly but boy I managed to pick one with a particularly awful death

I think "Not hitting moose while driving" may be the strangest thing I've gotten a podcast ad for

My toddler wants the world to know that Goodnight Moon has a KITTY in it. This is very important to him.

The name Romulus Augustulus was absolutely WASTED

Gavin recently got obsessed with one of her books and I think he recognizes her art style because he's been bringing me the other ones we have too

It's adorable that auto complete thinks I might mean Sandra Bullock and not Sandra Boynton. It's refreshing that it knows so little about my life

I think I figured out how Pride and Prejudice could work as a musical (I say knowing there are several previous attempts) but I would have to learn to write for the stage if I can't make the idea go away

Is there any feeling like a library hold coming in the day you finish the book you're currently reading?

It is a bit of a design flaw that the people required to keep toddlers from killing themselves have so much less energy than toddlers

I keep finding myself saying "Clever boy..." about my toddler much like I'm discussing a velociraptor in Jurassic Park

Turns out toddler playdates mostly consist of making sure they're all using their OWN water cup

Sometimes you open a document and immediately wonder how you meant for that sentence to end

The main thing I know about football continues to be that 72-0 is a very bad score

There was a huge recall of almost every store brand waffle in North America a few months back and all I've seen since is Eggo
