Anyone else ever have paralyzing fear of "what if my dreams actually did come true?"

Let people have an awful opinion sometimes. This post is about Ezra Klein.

🤣🤣🤣 Damn

RIP Robert Redford. What a titanic figure of film.

Sea Hear Now on the Jersey Shore is the best vibe, year after year after year

Everything I write and say must be free of cognitive dissonance.

Unreal

Autistic / ADHD people out there, has being diagnosed and/or treated helped with your executive function?

I think I should indeed take the survival risk and try to do something about this. I'll also try putting up a flyer in my building, but if there's anyone in SE PDX who would be willing to help a little: the position I'm stuck in is I don't need as much help these days (couldn't hire for it)--

Trump is giving Eric Adams a black job

@kvlly.com @emmabostian.bsky.social I'm psyched to see Ladybug back! www.ladybug.dev/episodes/a-b...

Is it just me, or is Mississippi uniquely lacking in reasons for outsiders to go?

My kids' 1sy day of school is tomorrow. Do we even know what school is supposed to be for anymore?

9:59a: It's way too early to join this meeting 10:04a: Oh shit oh shit oh shit

This just popped up in my Insta and felt adjacent to what I've been posting about parenting

I continue to feel awful for the people who live under the boot of the aristocracy of the Deep South, Mississippi being perhaps the worst.

Why does it feel neglectful to read while my kids entertain themselves? Modern parents have taught ourselves that children require our undivided attention, and it's bad for everyone.

The domestic deployment of the military is the Confederacy's revenge for Reconstruction, in which Union troops garrisoned the South to enforce newly granted Black rights. Now, the US military is being used to punish cities led by Black mayors.

I'm reading Dune for the first time and loving it

I'm getting really good at life just in time to begin my decline

If I have bread, it must be buttered from edge to edge. Nothing less is acceptable.

So much of my feed is people shit-talking screenshots of shit other people said. Feels like there's gotta something more constructive than that to be doing.

One wonders if Putin said, "we're thinking no cease fire", while tapping his fingers on unreleased Epstein material he brought from Moscow

Mineral sunscreen makes my kids look like kabuki characters, which is a feature, as far as I'm concerned

Having kids is like bringing people you don't know to a party and hoping for the best

I'm a text guy in a video world

That summit could have been an email

In new-school parenting, consequences absolutely exist for kids. That's how they learn to make good decisions. But it's not the parent's job to inflict them.

DC should have been made a state decades ago. The failure to do that not only has left DC residents in a perpetual state of taxation without representation, but has also left them completely vulnerable to abuse of power from the White House.

Touch screens on cars worsen response time significantly worse than drink driving or being high: www.wired.com/story/why-ca...

If you are into music theory, I just published a beta / draft version of a project I have been working on for a year, to explain where our system of music came from: acjay.com/the-fake-sto...

@daniskitchen.bsky.social Pittsburgh question for you -- would Pittsburgh work without all the freeways and ramps in the center of the city? It's an awesome city, but the core is so chopped up.

My dad is wearing a hat that says Beach Please, unaware of the pun

This children's museum has a simulated package delivery thing my kids love Damn, maybe they actually do yearn for the mines

Good morning, Pittsburgh!

Hello, Pittsburgh!

The Cubs winning the World Series on November 2, 2016. As a Cubs fan, this was an ecstatic night. I should have known that it meant something had fractured in the space-time continuum. The errors in reality went from fun to terrifying pretty quickly from there.

I wanna tell Instagram commenters that everything can't really be diabolical

My older kids are finally starting to get old enough to do things that would be hard for me, and it is a major leap in parenting joy

Hulk Hogan's passing is a tough break for President Trump's bench of potential cabinet replacements

Has there ever been a CEO who's so vocal about how bad his product is going to be for society?

Well, the days of Bluey being an innocent little upstart show were nice while they lasted www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Not Malcolm-Jamal Warner, too. I'm so damn weary of prominent Black men not even making it to 60. As a young Black boy with no older brothers, the Theo character was a huge role model.

I turned off notifications for likes, and I love that it mostly kills that feeling of hoping for a like notification after a post

My 6yo said "hey daddy, does counting really start at 0? Because maybe 10 is like the zero of 11 and 12" and I almost exploded with pride

How

One fun personality trait -- anything that has ever embarrassed me embarrasses me permanently

Colbert is a national treasure. Also, the way he summons quotations is incredible.
