Hard to believe that #SuperSentai has ended after 50 years.

Much like #PowerRangers, I have faith that it will return, but also that it won't be the same when it does.

An absolutely wild multi-decade run.

There will be no new installment of Let's Be Superheroes for this month.

FOUR.

HOURS.

OF.

SHOVELING.

DRIVEWAY.

I hate that the time stamp is now the only point of clarification for what event this post was on reference to.

The real question is:
"Why was this guy filming on his phone while walking in front of a moving vehicle if moving vehicles are scary enough to justify a shooting?"

Today was a very tough day.

You know, last year someone told me that it was disrespectful to compare ICE to the Gestapo because the Gestapo would have just shot you dead on a public street.

Just putting that out there.

Me, checking my third COVID test of the week:

"Really? Still no? Is this really just how parenthood feels right now?"

Let's be clear on our language.

Trump didn't "liberate" #Venezuela.

He didn't topple a dictatorship.

He UNILATERALLY ATTEMPTED TO CONQUER A FOREIGN NATION BY KIDNAPPING ITS ACTING HEAD OF STATE.

Unilaterally - without Congress/UN
Conquer - take over
Kidnap - illegally capture

Words mean things.

I think that the most effective way I've found for staying hydrated is having a toddler that will immediately grab your water bottle if you leave it anywhere, run it right over to you, and then stare at you with anticipatory glee until you take a sip, grinning and applauding when you finally do so.

It's my senior year of high school.

A classmate asks, "Did you hear we're at war with Iraq?"

"You mean Afghanistan, right?

"No, Iraq."

"Why are we at war with IRAQ?"

I didn't understand then.

I do now.

Money and power, every time.

I'm so sorry, #Venezuela.

Local elections matter!
#Vote #ElectionDay #VoteBlue #VoteBlueDownBallot

With Election Day only two days away, now seems like a perfect time to share this video we produced a few months ago about practicing civic engagement. Hope you all find it helpful!

Join us in an hour for our #Halloween Horror Special!

Hey, I was in a thing!

If you've missed hearing me talking about anything and everything for hours on end, check out my recent appearance on Modular Components!

The witch burned...
Up...
On reentry.

I can't help but notice that the most common dismissal of the #NoKings march is, "Is we really had a king, you wouldn't be able to protest."

Which is not only deeply ahistorical and completely misses the point, but also feeds into the myth of authoritarian dictators being all powerful.

Less than half an hour before we go live!

Share and we'll see you there!

Quick update. Because of the personal stories shared in this video, I'm taking some extra time to show the interviewees the full edit and get their final approval. To make sure they all get to see it and provide feedback, I'm pushing the release back one more week.

RJ: Papa, it's your day off. You relax. I'll do everything.

Finally watched @linkara.bsky.social's 800th episode earlier, and I just had to watch that final scene with @mayonnaisejane.bsky.social, because we've ABSOLUTELY had that conversation SO many times over the years.

The curse of the YouTube spouse is forever dealing with our spiraling nonsense.
