There's a subreddit r/bald and it's pretty much entirely guys who are losing their hair asking if they should shave their heads and then showing the results.

Long story short, the answer is always "Yes!" and every dude looks ten times better afterwards.

I've taken a lot of pride in giving my son a film education, but he should also be proud of his ability to fall asleep in any position, thereby persuading me that he is still awake.

After 13 years back in Iowa, I'm sitting on my deck in shorts, a hoodie and a T-shirt while it's 42 degrees at night.

In my first 23 years living here, I was never so comfortable in the cold. Has it finally sunk in? Despite me being meant for California?

I've managed to convince Honey that Morrissey is a musical legend, although she is also convinced that she doesn't like him as a person. Fair enough.

I keep returning to this lovely Morrissey song that only exists on a deluxe version of an album one can hardly find, due to his impossible cuntiness...

But to me it represents a monumental artistic evolution.

It takes a few listens.

I feel a little guilty sometimes about how much money I spent on the PSVR2. Especially since I haven't hardly touched it since a month honeymoon (which wasn't helped by nausea and tennis elbow).

But my son is playing it more often lately, so now I'm happy I have it.

Blank Check has been getting wonderful guests for this Coen Brothers series and I think it's really hit another level of wild, whipsmart, witty banter. And occasionally they talk about the movies 🥁!!! But seriously, those parts are quite insightful and provocative too.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I sat down at an exercise machine, a seated press, and did 200 way too easily...so I set it to 250 and did it (without much strain) for the first time in my life.

Pardon me, I just realized Miriam Shor of Hedwig and the Angry Inch is Rhea Seehorn's partner in Pluribus and I am briefly unconscious.

My good friend has another great piece up, this time on the band Lush. #music

I'm one and a half episodes into Pluribus, and I definitely want to see more.

Daring the universe has its risks. There may be a silver lining on this latest doozy though...

A couple years ago I casually thought, "It will be amazing when they integrate AI into kids toys," and then forgot about the subject. Of course, in 2025 this doesn't surprise me in the least. A very, very bad idea!
We did it!!!

Read a thread on a subreddit dedicated to AI-generated music, and absolutely everyone involved was spiritually a zombie.

I hustled my two novels for seven hours straight today.

I wonder how much my year of hawking windows and exterior coating in booths across San Diego County helped me and how much it hurt me.
