My 6 yr-old dog Biscuit knows I don’t like him to bark when we’re at the house and so, all on his own, last week he took up whisper barking instead. The loud barks are from the neighbor dog, while Biscuit is quietly answering back. He figured this out by himself! What a good boy.

In the race to succeed Ron DeSantis as Fl governor, the man on the left, 30 yr old investment banker with no political experience James Fishback called the man on the right, Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds a ‘slave.’ Not to be outdone Donalds has said that black families were better off under Jim Crow.

My son is applying to colleges. We got this from Oregon State and were laughing about how the little white pluses all over the picture make it look like Oregon didn’t want to pay the licensing fees to get rid of the watermark. For a picture of their own campus. Such a strange choice on their part.

Kind of amazing that all 5 trending topics here are sports, especially if you consider where we were prior to Nov 2024. I didn’t even know who the Lane Kiffin person was until I looked him up. Even though sports aren’t one of my interests, I think it’s good for the platform.

Just saw Hamnet and I think it’s my pick for best film of the year, a smart gut-punch of a meditation on how people deal with death and loss. It narrowly edged out Sinners and One Battle After Another for me. I didn’t care for Train Dreams, and Sentimental Value was nice, but not to their level.

Oh no! Tom Stoppard died. His play Arcadia - a beautiful look at the past, present, order, and chaos, has a speech from a mathematician on the beauty and power of math that was my audition piece for years and, as someone who’s fascinated by theater AND math, felt like it was written just for me.

I just learned that Oscar Wilde, who died in 1900, has a living grandchild and my brain is kind of breaking.

Is AI just a Clever Hans?
You may have seen that accusation floating around—so how much truth is there to it? If you don't know the reference, Clever Hans was a real horse in Germany around the turn of the 20th century who seemed to possess a human-level grasp of math and even written German.

Should I pay for my $19.99 movie ticket now or in 4 easy installments? I understand I have a very good chance of approval.

Here’s an incredibly rough rip of my interview on Chris Cuomo. It got cut off because a friend was screen recording and it he was signing up for the free trial as I was speaking. Although we didn’t get to talk about it much, the actual story is more interesting than the headlines.

This image shows an upcoming polar vortex affecting most of the US. Say what you will about the San Francisco Bay Area, but its stubborn refusal to be affected by something so inconsequential as ‘the weather’ is one of its more remarkable features.

F%$k off National Review with your insidious morality. > 14M ppl in the US owe over $1k in medical debt. 3M owe $10k. 2/3 of all bankruptcies in the US are caused by medical debt. While I would never advocate for violence, the CEO of United Health made $26.3M last year. That’s the insidious morality

Look. You can try to hide the realities of life from your kids, but it’s like I always say, you can teach them about puppet sex, or they can learn about it from the streets. Your choice.

‘Until we invalidate it’ - from the state department’s FAQs on passports for trans and non-binary Americans.
I’m pretty sure a right that can be taken away whenever the government wants and with no apparent justification is not a right.

Fortunately, I was able to verify my son’s safety after receiving this not-suspicious text message by walking upstairs and asking him how he could lose his phone in his own room and why he called me dad.

The day care kids came to my house on Halloween! I didn’t get a pic of them (because they’re not my kids) but it was a magical moment. I dressed up in a white bunny suit and brought out my own actual bunny when I handed out the candy. Today, they dropped off this card. My heart is absolutely full.
