Teaching my kid method acting by lying about when he’s on tape. He’s either gonna be a phenomenal actor or a guy who spends the next 40 years having flop-sweat nightmares he can’t quite explain.

I knew parenting would entail improvisation; I didn’t realize it would involve so much interpretive dance.

Don’t tell his mom, but I’m secretly training my kid to be the Coyote who actually takes out his Road Runner. ACME discipline. Real-world physics. Maybe no TNT. 🧨

It’s time to admit that a small but apparently non-trivial part of my child’s cognitive development will be determined by the fact that sometime in the early ’90s I happened to watch Benny and Joon on VHS.

My child may never know what it means to be a “spoony bard,” & neither may his mother, and neither may you, but it’s from Final Fantasy IV and the point is I’m spending time with my him instead of playing video games, and as a man, I believe that entitles me to some form of medal or parade, yes?

“So act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.” — Immanuel Kant, talking about my kid trying to get a stray cat to tickle his feet when the cat clearly has ends of its own it’s pretty busy tickling.

A lot of people hate trigger warnings—not me. I think they’re a helpful tool; I just think we’re using them wrong. I don’t need a heads-up that a movie’s ending is a real bummer.

Just thinking about how funny it would’ve been if, right after saying “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff,” Carl Sagan had ripped a massive fart.

Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.

Neuroscientifically speaking, every time you remember something you’re rewriting the memory—like a photocopy of a photocopy—which means, technically, this is applied neuroscience, not gaslighting my toddler.

"Living with Humans" by Kal Fulsom a.co/d/ddaGXP1 Book 02 of the SHIFTERS series. A compelling story of two species, Humans & Elysians. A science fiction tale, weaving together personal relationships, cultural clashes, libertine lifestyles, new technology, and futurism.

🔥 @cornelwest.bsky.social (sitting next to Smug @ScottJenningsKY): “What we’re seeing is spiritual sickness, moral decrepitude, and political corruption on steroids.” He says there is “no integrity” in justifying trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund heist to his insurrectionist allies.

Out knocking on doors in Alta Vista today. It doesn’t take too many doors to meet someone who can’t find a family doctor… Or who’s been on a wait list too long… That needs to change. Everyone deserves a family doctor. @OntLiberal’s have a plan to do that.

Valleyfair Amusement Park Promo Recorded May 23, 1999 on KMSP/UPN 9 in Minneapolis, MN #commercial #amusementpark #promotion #Valleyfair #Pepsi #MountainDew #KMSP #UPN9

You have a right to walk your dog at night and feel safe and *everyone* has the right to talk to a Minneapolis police officer and be safe! We can't sacrifice one for the other, we can hold two truths at one time. I'm committed to holding those truths on city council. Vote by November 4th!

Donald Trump is New York today to rally with Rep. Mike Lawler, one of the most vulnerable House Republicans. We're outside the event with a mighty group of protestors. "Mike Lawler grow a spine, you're working on the people's time!"

Mago solved style transfer! This is how I got into the whole "AI for film production" thing; I wanted to make "stylized" content more affordable so that I could actually get my projects funded (Because no one has 500k for a cute little art history mini series)

When Ukrainian drones hit Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, Russia’s illusion of safety shattered. 💥 These cities behind the Urals were “untouchable” for decades—now Russians feel vulnerable, from Moscow to their industrial heartlands.
