We can all relate.

2 Truths and a Lie: 1. I have met Les Claypool's daughter. 2. I have met Zohran Mamdani's mother. 3. I have met Laura Dern's father.

Went down to my local library and said "One democracy please." Feeling good about it.

Two things in this aquarium are about 9 inches long, black, and wider at one end. One is a bristlenose plecostomus, and the other is a filter intake extension tube. The tube keeps getting knocked loose from the filter, I think because the pleco wants to "date".

As is customary, you won't actually be able to change my mind.

One can't even walk into Mordor.

I dreamed that I met Hank Green. Then I woke up. Then I went to a wedding, and Hank Green was there, who I got to talk to. Then I REALLY woke up. And as I was slowly coming awake that morning, I had a hard time figuring out whether I had actually met Hank Green or not. Turn out not.

Talking to a young person yesterday, I inquired as to what their take was on my rep. They said, "You're a micro celebrity who's famous even though you don't do anything. Like Zendaya." Based

My dog Floof has expressed an interest in live streaming. Here are some excerpts of his work. www.youtube.com/shorts/DEmQv...

My wife and I founded the One of Us Global Foundation in honor of my boy Technoblade. Our annual Minecraft Tournament raises funds for the great work the foundation does. 60 amazing players! Please share the trailer and be sure to join us on Oct. 25! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE3q...

I'm so smart, ChatGPT asks 𝘮𝘦 to summarize documents.

As a parent, I'm scrupulous about limiting second screen time. Whether they're watching TV or on the computer, no more than two hours of that can also be on the phone.

In times of great challenge, when words fail us, whilst our voices fall silent, we must needs rely on emoji.

I'm so old I sometimes accidentally refer to an uber as a taxi.

Orpheus's one job was to lead his wife out of the underworld without looking back. But at the last second, he turned around. Was he stupid?

The two most important spiritual techniques that our true teachers use is reminding us to breathe and, when we get stuck, smacking us upside the head.

Today (Sept. 5) is my five year wedding anniversary. I am *thrilled* to share my life with my beloved wife Stacey. It's still as fresh and filled with wonder as when it began, yet somehow just keeps getting deeper. I am so grateful.

My wife just walked in on me pacing around my room talking to no one. She asked me what I was doing and I said I was trying out lines that might go in a video. She said, "Oh, the Alex thing. Did he learn that from you?" I honestly hadn't thought about it and I don't know the answer.

Floof looking down on me.

I have a lot more gray hair on my left arm than I do on my right, because we drive on the right side of the road in my country.

I recently ordered an rtx 5090 off Amazon. The package arrived yesterday; it contained a $5 pair of earplugs. Now I shuffle across the earth, in a desperate search for the only thing that can satisfy my gnawing hunger.

Remember Napster? Napster and Technoblade were born on the same day.

I am "super" excited about the new Superman movie, so much so that I made my own trailer! Just look what I was able to do with a budget less than half of what @jamesgunn.bsky.social had! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr1w...

Most of my life I've used periods as a sentence terminator. Lately I use them as a sentence separator

Last night in my dreams I was riding in a station wagon with a bunch of people and madly texting my wife trying to figure out why she wasn't with me. When I woke up, the first thing I wanted to tell her was that she could ignore those texts because I had sent them from a dream.

I've always loved this meme.

When I leave my coffee unattended, sometimes Floof finishes it for me.

Reddit thinks I am interested in Formula 1 so I keep hearing about Max Verstoppin'. No idea but I imagine he's a chubby hedgehog with a taste for speed and a souped up bathtub with a lawnmower engine he drives in all the big county races, even though he never wins because he keeps verstoppin'.

Spent the week in Boston for Demeter's 35th college reunion. There was a guy there who had a tricked out BttF Delorean.

Stacey at Sunshine Airport. We flew home Sunday after a lovely trip.

I'm posting from row 7. Airplanes have WiFi now. What a world! (Yes I know this has been true for a while.)

A couple of days ago I was in the town of Aquinnah (formerly known as Gay Head) in Martha's Vineyard, MA. I sent Apollo a picture of the store there. The following text exchange ensued.

Thank you so much to everyone who made a gift to support @oneofusglobal.org this weekend -- We're proud to uphold Technoblade's legacy by funding projects that help young people develop their leadership skills and change the world in positive ways Please follow @oneofusglobal.org to learn more!

This joke would 100% be approved by Technoblade. Well played, @mrtechnodad.bsky.social

Bucatini is just spaghetti that got promoted to "senior vice pasta" and now spends all its time evangelizing its "unique tubular structure" on its LinkedIn profile.

Mr. Technodad on Lexington Common, where the first shots were fired in the American Revolutionary War.

On Martha's Vineyard, came across the shell of an Atlantic Horseshoe crab. The modern horseshoe crabs date from 250 million years ago. They are among the very oldest complex animal species existing today. We have nothing like this where I live; coming across this foot long shell was a shock.

Quick note for everyone: my beloved stepchild Persephone uses they/them pronouns. Just FYI.

YouTube should allow A/B testing on titles, the way it allows A/B testing on thumbnails today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TECHNOBLADE! The past week while streaming on the RealmSMP we built a Technoblade statue to celebrate him hitting 20 Million subscribers and to celebrate his Birthday. In the process we also raised $4,000 of our $1,000 goal for the Sarcoma Foundation. Here is our gift to the Legend.

So, so grateful to the Technoblade community for Technoblade reaching 20 million subscribers. I hope you will enjoy what we have cooked up in the way of thanks! Premieres tomorrow morning at 9 AM pacific. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7mk...

It's finished. It's done. The render took 97 minutes. The file is huge. 127 gb. It's not as long as Return of the King, I'll say that. I spent the whole day on little final tweaks. Crazy anxious for tomorrow, but I have a good feeling.

Tomorrow I am going to make public a key bit of Technoblade history from 2017. It's been private for years. Tomorrow it will be made public. Speculate all you want, I don't mind, but I ain't saying nuthin. You can see the whole thing tomorrow.

We encountered a "bold jumper" in the kitchen yesterday. Phidippus audax is a dramatic looking species of non-web-building spider. Apollo expressed a lot of interest so my wife contacted her friend who has like a PhD in spiders for info, because of course. So anyway we have a new pet now.

A sound that has not been heard for some time. Now it begins. www.youtube.com/shorts/ANqPP...

The sleep you get overnight is the most important nap of the day.

Ha ha suckers! I just got this and everyone who ever wronged me is in for it now. Nothing can stop me! EDIT: nm it doesn't work

As many of you are aware, Pax East just ended. A year ago. And I've finally put up my video about it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJFU...
