Now hold on. Everybody just stop. Is it just me, or...

Got caught in a torrential downpour while wearing white linen pants, on my way to pick up my kid from camp. To the other parents at pickup: Hello, nice to meet you.

There's video! Kind of! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTqT...

oh my god

This is a beautiful thing that makes the world a better place. Im not joking.

People don’t realize that in Beckett‘s first draft, when they say “let’s go”, the stage directions specify that they’re standing chest to chest

Hey. Hey I’m the only one allowed to pass out on the lifting platform and drool. Quit it.

Today I told my kids that I dont have Bongo Cat on my phone and let’s try this instead. And it WORKED. Bernie Worrell for President. youtu.be/0i37GEfu7VM

Tsk tsk the Talmud overpromising again

I find I am regularly insulted by how low the bar is for men. This is a complaint *about* men, to be as clear as possible.

Summarizing the past three years of Discourse on here

if women are people does that mean...children are people? oh fuck

Hmm, don't care for this.

This might actually work, is the thing.

If billionaires benefited from you getting to work on time then their companies would make cars that did it. FOLLOW THE MONEY

Saw this shirt today. The more I think about it the sadder I get

Seems like the only sector where AI is genuinely massively disruptive is in software development, and now a bunch of software developers are trying to self-organize new social/cultural norms around its use.

The birthday cake taster has been asked to spend a few minutes at his special place.

oh no this is correct

Too many people have liked something I wrote on here and it makes me want to delete my account. I am not online to be regarded.

My kids hoisted the progress flag at city hall for the Pride kickoff ceremony.

If someone gives you one of those mini cheese wheels, you have to use the wax wrapper to sculpt a little doggy. Its the law.

I really only engage with senior citizen fitness content. One of my faves, showing the way forward:

I spend so much time working underground and in weird repurposed high bay assembly spaces, I forget you can also have a QIS lab in a regular, finished room with windows and ceilings and whatnot.

I made this amazed kitty to celebrate my kid’s last day of first grade. Every single part of this was fun to do.

There was a robot at the grocery store today. It was ostensibly checking inventory. That was weird.

Happy Pride everyone!

Showed my kids Singing in the Rain tonight and this bit hit like an asteroid. Donald OConnor you magnificent bastard youtu.be/iGCNBdCvzL4

Picked my dog up from doggy daycare and while I was buying treats for him he popped up and put his paws on the counter. Me: Oh are you offering to pay? You gotta get a job bud, start pulling your weight around here. Dog Supervisor: Yeah he could at least be selling feet pics.

Old high school friend lives in Alaska now, and a couple of days ago, a moose gave birth right outside her window at work.

Sometimes a literal rocket scientist will tell me something “isn’t rocket science“ and it’s like, ok man I guess you win this one.

Yall want to see ADMX-EFR? I was just giving a lab tour the other day and grabbed some photos as I passed. It’s an interesting exercise in frequency scaling. Very short thread…🧪

COOL

Over Shabbos a one year old pointed at this dog and said “silly!” I think he’s still recovering.

Today at lunch I went to a concert where a time traveler from the year 20X6 played the electric harp. Now I’m going to put my phone in the toilet and enjoy a nice Shabbos.

Seeing a few lifted smart cars around town. They’re very cool and cute. Is this a local thing or you have them where you are too?

Real talk: Reaper Man was my first Pratchett, and I only picked it out because I was 14 years old and the cover had a cool skeleton guy and the tiniest bit of cleavage on it. I genuinely believe that moment was a major course correction in my life.

My son found this rock he's really excited about. He wants me to take it to a museum but I was wondering if any science types can tell me any cool facts to tell him about his rock

[Beyoncé voice] All day (Okay) SMA (Okay) SMA (Okay) SMA (Okay)

Tuesday wouldve been Miles Davis’s 100th birthday. This plus the Sonny Rollins thing means I’m reaching critical jazz saturation this week. youtu.be/zqNTltOGh5c

These major outlets writing about Harambe are not meeting the moment; it's an impossible thing to explain to a normal person. A proper journalist doing regular journalism can't explain the nauseating 4chan of it all to someone who regularly touches grass.

Living with a dog has really amped up my "oh hey there buddy" reflex and it's having a noticeable impact on my reaction to spiders. Before, on seeing a spider crawl out from my bath towel: Ugh, I'd better do something about this. Now: Oh hey there buddy.

Helga & Dot, the only two members of the punk co-op who can be sort of trusted around power tools

Just walked by a group of 12-year-olds yelling the R-slur at each other in public. So, thanks for that everyone. Good job bringing that one back. Put it right next to measles and smoking.
