Jeremy!

Oh no, what did he do/say? I love Rewatchables.

But if that small business fails, so you move to the capital of North Dakota and open a small grocery store instead, I recommend naming it...

Bismarcket

If you ever move to the capital of Montana and set up a little shop where you weave handled picnic food containers, I recommend naming your business...

For what it's worth, this dad joke is 100% original. I crafted it a few years ago and I'm still pretty proud of it.

Your mileage may vary.

Q: What do you get when you put
explosives in a wintry sculpture
of NBA legend Michael Jordan?

A: A bomb in a Bull snowman.

I will never understand how God sending his "Son" to earth isn't a polytheistic belief. It's 2 distinct beings: One is the Father, sacrificing someone he loves; and one is the Son, enduring something awful for a noble reason.

My mind is simply unable to believe in the Trinity.

Dad, Nomad, Fighting Off the Sad | Jeremy | Substack Ramblings and ruminations on all that keeps me afloat in this sad, wonderful, awful, and desperately beautiful world -- from mental health discoveries to fatherhood joys to nature exploration to trave...

Feel like tossing a little support to an underpaid dad who writes on the side in the pre-dawn darkness about fatherhood & mental health & concert road trips and who would never dream of outsourcing even one (1) word of his writing to AI?

One thing people never like to talk about is that FrankenBerry is misnamed. Please, everyone. Get it right.

It's TheCreatureBerry.

I did see "Show" this time and I clicked on it... and it just revealed the Sabrina poster (which this time was hidden until I clicked "Show").

I AM SO CONFUSED.

I think Bluesky hid the content on your tweet. I can only see the Sabrina image from your original tweet.

I give up on trying to understand this. :)

I don't follow. This tweet was about the Sabrina remake, right? What does a moral compass or Paul Thomas have to do with it? I'm so lost.

(Also, hi Jeremy!)

Uhhhh why was this labeled as "Adult Content"?

I view myself as a skilled writer & an impeccable proofreader. I take pride in being an English major with a command of the written word. I even won a spelling bee once!

And so I gasped in horror today when I saw the word "teached" on my screen, which I had just typed as the past tense of "teach."

The National Board of Jeremy has
[too early & with way too little data]

Frankenstein
Friendship
The Life of Chuck
One Battle After Another
Sinners
Train Dreams

~ Honorable Mention ~
Final Destination: Bloodlines

The Christmas music genre boasts some
of the most hauntingly beautiful, & also
some of the most nauseating, gratingly
soulless songs that were ever written.

For some odd reason, retail
stores play none of the former.

And almost nothing *but* the latter.

Hell is
other people
[who demonize
other people].

Ha!! I love this. 😄

Normalize asking off work on Wednesday to go see Frankenstein at the local art-house theater & take a hike by yourself, solely because you have vacation time to burn & Guillermo del Toro is amazing & hiking is good for the soul.

To me, parenting is — without a doubt — the single greatest joy on earth.

But if you’re an ardent fan of reading more than 2 pages of a book at a time, or if you greatly enjoy having adult conversations made up of uninterrupted sentences, I don’t necessarily recommend it.

I love that, Hopey! I feel like I'm almost-26 in an almost-46yo body. Here's to feeling young (& being okay with not actually being young).

Normalize:

~ embracing your current age,
~ looking forward to the next decade, &
~ forcefully rejecting the boring, stale belief that our best years are behind us & we should resent that we, just like every other being that ever lived, are ephemeral.

Enjoy your time here! 🌎

If a thing is artificial,
then it is not intelligent.

Intelligence, by definition,
can not be artificial.

What is human
is what is enduring
is what is valuable
is what is real.

And we are,
above all,
human.

Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

I believe that someday, before my kids are grown, a reckoning will take place. The hyper-corrupt Trump & all his complicit sycophants will finally be brought low by the power of the judicial system, and by the righteous fury of we the people.

I *choose* to believe that is true.

“AI, particularly generative AI, I am not interested... I’m 61 & I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak… Somebody wrote me an email, said: ‘What is your stance on AI?’ & my answer was very short. I said, ‘I’d rather die'."

~ Guillermo del Toro

Things I'm certifiably obsessed with:

~ Cereal
~ Movies
~ Box office
~ Park-hopping
~ Post-rock music
~ Ryan George videos
~ Deconstruction/exvie stuff
and by far the most important...
~ My sweet, radiant 9yo & 7yo kids 💞
