Trying to get anyone to read "Anathem" is Hell. I promise this book rocks. You'll love reading hundreds of pages of history of philosophy on a strange world where neoplatonism is a major religion. I sweat to god you're going to have fun with the made up words everywhere. Please believe me.

It's been less than 36 hours since my daughter opened her Elphaba and Glinda dolls, and they have already swapped clothes, gotten married, and had a child named Daisy. Sometimes it feels like we are raising her right!

In 2022, the Spelling Bee screwed me out of a Queen Bee by including the word "phablet". Now in 2025, they no longer take the word. I mean, sure, that's the better state of being -- phablet is not a cromulent word -- but I feel I've been cheated twice.
