Rumbledore would be the perfect wrestling wizard name

Nancy Drew and friends can be seen digging a hole, late in the night, burying their last fuck, ensuring that, no matter what, they have no more fucks to give.

Posted without context, because none is needed.

There was this group of bros walking around. I told my kids to be careful because a category 4 bro-nado was forming.

My daughter asked "What is they were girls?"

A her-ricane!

Ah! You’re right, but not on all apps. Now if only it remembered where it left off…

Watching MLS on Apple TV is fine if you watch live, but it is impossible to start a game late or take an extended pause without spoiling the score. I literally give the remote to my kid or wife to load up the match while my back is turned.

I've been reduced to trying to come up with screen-free "enrichment activities" for my teenager. Parenting in this glowing hellscape feels like a war of attrition.

I had a whole lot of fun doing some experiments this weekend on my #pkm setup in @obsidian.md. I've got some more to do before I'm certain it'll work for me, but it felt like it was clicking in a way that is hasn't in a while. Their new Bases feature is a game changer.

I've been thinking about how I'm using #obsidian. I figured I'd trying sharing these thoughts with Claude and I'm embarrassed with how it nailed it: "You're trying to force an "aspirational knowledge worker" system onto a "busy person managing multiple responsibilities" reality"

The Philadelphia Union are so much fun to watch right now. I just love it.

When I Will Call Something a “Constitutional Crisis” And the two words that Elon Musk will need to learn.

This is by far the most thoughtful and reasoned response to all that's gone in the government in the last 3 weeks. www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/when-i-wil...

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

Desperate times call for desperate levels of self care

Now seems like a good a time as any to watch the 1959 cartoon of Animal Farm with the kids.

It’s a cry in front of a used car salesman kind of day

My wife and I are rewatching Friday Night Lights, and it strikes us that most of that show would just happen over texts today. Maybe I’m just an old guy, but I think that’s sad.

Alrighty Philly peeps, Giulianos has some new Hoagie Hoodies fresh off the presses. What do you think?

I’ve really enjoyed our coffee setup recently. It’s a cheap shelf, but it allows for everything to be in its right place. Also, the 1Zpresso J-ultra is glorious.

How glorious Marco! I’m dreaming of being able to do that with our place (though I imagine a couple years from now). Would you mind sharing some resources that helped you prepare and consider when was the right time?

My favorite part of working from home is every day when my son comes home from school. He sprints to the closest bathroom letting out emergency farts with every step.

I want one of those Zen gardens with the sand for my desk. Instead of the rake, though, I want one of those tiny hands giving the middle finger on a stick.

One of the highlights of this fall is that several of my jades are completely covered in flowers. I've grown three plants for 15 years and nothing like this has ever happened. #bloomscrolling

Hey friends, let's not fall into the same trap of binding our community to an infrastructure whose incentives are fundamentally in conflict with protecting these communities. BlueSky has some promising aspirations around decentralization, but I fear they will always be secondary.
