You wanted to learn the #KpopDemonHunters Zoey head towel thing! #yourkoreandad

I was so fortunate to get to attend the special screening (basically the premiere) of KPOP Demon Hunters last month, and it’s been incredible to see the millions of people around the world who are just as obsessed as I am! #KpopDemonHunters

Almost everything harmful and terrible that has been done to others was done in the name of “We’re good people.” This makes it a very, maybe the most, dangerous concept in all human history.

There is no such thing as good or bad people, there is only pain and suffering inflicted on others and reducing, alleviating, and avoiding inflicting pain and suffering.

Here with another reminder that perhaps the most damaging idea that human beings have ever spread is that some people are good and some people are bad.

Until there are ICE raids that target white people who are undocumented, this action by the current administration is blatant racism.

And if the thought crossed your mind that there may not be white people who live in the US unlawfully, that’s your own racism to deal with.

Now Joshua would probably have beat me in the final anyway, but after 6 hours in that game store I wanted to be done. Still, it felt so good to perform so well after just 3.5 months of playing this game! And add to that, I’ve always been the oldest player at every tournament! 👴🏼

I made the final table at a #PokemonTCG League Cup tournament yesterday and conceded the final match so my opponent could secure the +10 points towards qualifying for the World Championships. Here’s my “Jol-Tera” deck.

Am I the only person who thought, “Wouldn’t someone wonder if there was more than one person there named Joel?”

I’m honestly confused about what we’re meant to feel about rich people going on trips to space.

Has anyone moved a console piano across the country? What service/company did you use? Trying to figure out what it would take to move my childhood Baldwin piano from my parents' house in northern Virginia to here in SoCal.

But when you lose sight of the fact that there *is* a whole season and complain about how we feel about individual episodes…
…do you get what I’m getting at?

Reflecting on the parallels between the reactions I’m seeing from a lot of folks online about this season of The White Lotus and… real life.
The show is created as a whole season. It’s split up into individual episodes, which is how we consume it.

Closer to Boyle Heights or Downtown ideally but anything in this general zone is great!

LOS ANGELES: Do you know a nice co-working space that does day passes? Kinda over the laptop-at-a-cafe thing and I'm in LA once a week and would love a reliable workspace.

Let’s visit Korea together! #YourKoreanDad

WOOHOO!!! So not only did my Lillie's Clefairy ex 126 from Battle Partners just get a PSA 10, it's THE FIRST PSA 10 IN THE WORLD!!!!! I'm pretty stoked! Not sure if being the first matters, but it sure feels good!!! #PokemonTCG #PokemonCards

Having gotten into #pokemoncards because of my gf's son, I've been really bummed how so many of the top YouTubers in the space have said and done some awful stuff. This sort of crap is too common. Anti-Asian racism around an... (checks notes) Asian cultural product? WTF?!?

If you know, you know! #Pokemon #PokemonCards #BattlePartners

It’s interesting to see it try to figure it out though and someday it’ll get it right!

I have my own little test to see where a.i. is at: I ask it about first crack and second crack during coffee roasting. It’s one of my favorite questions to ask because most coffee experts can’t actually explain it, and I wouldn’t expect a chatbot trained on online info to get it right.

Yikes. If you need me, I’m in bed. @ouraring.bsky.social

Develop the ability to say, “That is beyond my capability,” without facetiousness and not as an excuse but as a confession and honest assessment of your capabilities and shortcomings.
This can and will change your life.

We’ve all heard folks say that being able to say “I don’t know” is a powerful and important ability.
I want to challenge us one step further:

Greed is nothing to be proud of.
Greed + [anything] = nothing to be proud of.
You want something to be proud of?
Show me care and regard for others,
who are not your family or friends,
and that is not about feeding *their* greed.

I’ve tried really hard to find inspiring and thoughtful content by men about healthy masculinity and Baldoni’s “Man Enough” podcast kept getting recommended, but I always found it lacking. There was something missing that I could never put my finger on. Somehow this all makes sense to me now.
