There’s a good episode of Parks and Rec that kind of touches upon this: End of the World. Worth a watch perhaps, if you haven’t already seen it. Short answer is: being wrong conflicts with world view in such a huge way that it threatens everything, so blame math. Hehe.

This book is a banger. I'm proud to have been one of the editors and I think you should buy it. @roxanegay.bsky.social thinks you should too, as does my mom, who saw an early draft when it was open on my computer during a visit. She was like "i don't like comics (besides Archie), but this is great."

meh. I simply don't have enough fucks to spare, so I won't spare none. you reap what you sow.

I just got diagnosed at 44 and it's been awesome. Happy to chat about it via DM if you're interested.

Hell yeah

I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years, but I still remember the time I ate chicken-fried steak as the most disappointing meal ever. It’s like, let’s mash two good things together and ruin them both.

Lol

He thinks he can do anything. God bless children.

I read a page and a half. We had to stop about 10 times to answer questions; it took 15 minutes. He then said, "Dada you were right. This is not for me right now."

Antigone, by Sophocles

7yo found a new book in the little free library. I told him it wasn’t really a nighttime book, but he was adamant that he wanted me to read this 2500 year old play (sequel to another play) to him. Well…here we go!

it's just a troll. a funny one, perhaps, but not worth your time/energy

Lol. If you’re serious, you missed a point. If you’re trolling, well done.

Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation RENTON, WA—Local man Paul Campbell confirmed Saturday he was raising his daughter Emma on a variety of media carefully selected to help her cultivate an appreciation for artistic quality, a move that ...

As the father of two small humans, I think about this weekly, if not more often.

Yeah it happened. What can I tell you? Punk ain’t subtle.

To be clear, I wound up going with (primarily) dirty club music:

Get Low--Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz
Back That Azz Up--Juvenile
I Get Wet--Andrew W. K
Let It Go--Idina Menzel
Fuck the Pain Away--Peaches

Correct

Me: what music should I listen to?
Wife: whatever makes you feel cool and powerful
Me:…Montell Jordan?
Wife: hell yeah

The most pretentious Little Free Library of all time.

It me

At work, I've really been embracing the "IDGAF if you like me, all I need is a respectful nod and for you to do your effing work" vibe.

Right? Right??

lol. your mom

You have no idea what my mentions have been like since I rattled that off while drinking coffee and petting my cat. And yes, full rupture.

I dunno. I went to Baltimore City Public Schools and honestly I received a great education. I learned practical stuff (map-reading, taxes) as well as esoteric "just for lolz" like Latin and multiple Philosophy classes. People hate on public education and I'm like, it's great?

Happy Juneteenth!

Call me whenever homegirl

I'm not closing my social media or anything, but it's clear my life is a bit busy and I don't have capacity for another communication source. So if you want to chat or whatever, email or text is probably the best. Though, honestly, Gen X phone call-style is the most reliable!

Turning 2yo onto dance music now, so I have an ally. So far I’ve gotten reactions from:

LCD Soundsystem
BTS
Carly Rae
LTJ Bukem
BlackPink
Lil Jon

I was walking in the woods with a bunch of kids & parents the other day and one of the spawn not related to me said, apropos of nothing, "Mr. Mike, I don't mean any offense, but you have a really big bald spot."

I was like, YES THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME I WAS UNAWARE OF THAT INFORMATION.
