The 6 year old in the car today when Red Hot Chili Peppers came on

"Dad! They said California!"

"Dad, they said California again!"

"Dad, why do they keep saying California?"

MAGA Catholics are so gross to me. first off, a LOT of these immigrants are Catholic, and the catechism is EXTREMELY CLEAR on the church being one united global body. those people are your family. your loyalty should be to them and not the president!

There's a Cyber Truck in the parking lot of this campground I'm at. Any recommendations on notes to leave or anything?

if you believe in “god’s plan” and that everything we experience was planned out, you also have to accept that 50 cent: blood in the sand was also part of that design

Took the kids to get flu shots. They both screamed at the nurse "NO!!! I DONT WANT A SHOT!!" for 5 minutes straight so the whole clinic could hear.

Then they both walked out into the waiting room where the 3 year old informed the two adults waiting "don't worry, it's not actually that bad"

I used to post a lot more about politics on Twitter back in the day. I don't post so much like that for two reasons.

1. Everyone here agrees with me and I feel like I'm not contributing anything new. I can't add anything new to the conversation

2. It's just depressing. It's so fucking depressing.

This is my takeaway after listening to the audiobook of We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

I think every town needs some sort of mythology. Every town needs a "haunted house" that the school children dare each other to set foot onto the lawn.

Subtitles should include inflation calculations for all money amounts so I don't have to always go to inflation calculator.

Imagine being so rich that being able to look out at the earth from 10s of thousands of miles in the air is just too boring.

So instead of just popping on a VR headset or something you pay billions for planes with TVs for windows.

After marathoning TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and even making it all the way through Enterprise, I keep trying to watch the Star Trek movies and every time I keep just instantly losing interest.

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat

I miss midnight releases for video games. Camping out for a couple hours, waiting in line with friends. Everyone just super excited for the same thing.

That was fun.

Being in a family means having certain rules. One of those rules is if Dad is using Reddi whip on something he gets to give himself a whip shot, and anyone in the nearby vicinity gets a whip shot as well, but if you’re in a different room you can’t just run into the kitchen when you hear the co2.
