I write words (only some of them). Repped at Range & Verve, unless you hate me, in which case I'm a robot sent from the present to destroy you.

In this house, we live by the law of:
β€œHe who smelt it, dealt it,”
and its logical corollary,
β€œHe who craps in the tub gives it a scrub.”

Senate Dems just abandoned unity and betrayed the American people. We can move past this once they’re primaried or retired. Till then there’s no compromising with cowards who are voting to kill their constituents.

What makes a good question, rhetorically speaking? (Asking for a friend who is a baby??).

Teaching baby to water the fake grass so he understands the struggle of pursuing an impossible dream. Also in the sun it gets hot on his little toesies.

Baby’s a triple threat: He can sing, draw, and break his father’s iPad accessories (often all three at once). Next stop: Broadway! (Gonna try to sell my talented baby to buy a new Apple Pencil).

Assuming this was written after the Cheney announcement and scheduled for later out of sheer political cunning.

Caught Baby starting a 1-man band (but on further inspection it’s actually just three 1/3-man bands stacked on top of each other in a Conductor’s overcoat).

Go find some taller giant if that’s what you need, you big giant baby. (Sorry if I have a chip on my shoulder β€” it’s my dad’s fault.)

I always tell Baby: every generation stands on the shoulders of giants.
In some cases, literally.
In others, it’s more metaphorical, and the β€œgiants” in question are only about 5’9” on a good day.
No, you can’t check my license, it says 5’9”.
Stop looking at me like that. You know exactly how.

Love being a parent, but humbling to know my baby’s mental model of me and a child-safe step-ladder overlap by about 50%.

Anthropologically speaking, the caveman hair-dragging trope is hogwash β€” but in a vibes-based, and therefore even truer, way? Exhibit B (for Baby the Barbabian).

Made Baby this nifty little sound toy in the hopes he passes clean through his DJ phase before he learns the word β€œcareer.”

Now I just have to master my β€œYes, yes I probably am, but only because I think you’ll need exactly that face to deal with the reality that your mother and I *intentionally* brought you in to (sorry/you’re welcome)” face and we’ll be set.

True though I think a lot of leftists conveniently forget that (because they’re rightly criticizing his continuation and escalation of Bush’s drone war and this would seem to cut against that).

The secret to a good Baby Heimlich practice sesh is of course step 1: get a non-wriggly baby. You got that? The rest is child’s play.

A big part of parenting is teaching your kid to set achievable life goals, that’s why Baby and I are improvising a musical version of Blade Runner, aka Blade Stummer aka Do Jamdroids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Look, I didn’t agree with Harris about a lot but still think she was a much better vote than Trump. If there’s a candidate in the race who has a better shot at beating Collins, great. If not… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I don’t think anyone believes this guy is a secret Nazi, even the people who think the tat is insane.
