If you’re worried about AI firing missiles at British Columbia, my 6th grader is home sick and I had ChatGPT create some study math problems with an answer key.

Problems were great and I can’t recommend them enough.

But it turns out that ChatGPT can’t multiply or divide decimals.

At all.

I’d assume the @homefield.bsky.social office just ended the burning dumpsters celebration after Saturday’s win, but it is Connor’s birthday today, so you need to light those beauties back up and celebrate the boss.

WHAT?!?!?!? See my comments

Best bang for buck?
THE MU FUCKIN BRIDGELAYER DOGG!

So sick. Didn’t even ask for it and my aunt gave it to me for my birthday because my cousin liked it. Top ten toy of childhood and maybe the biggest surprise.

Worst bang for buck?
The planes. So expensive. So big. Completely unfun to play with.

I wasn’t convinced after getting the F-14, so I got the SR-71 as well. And it was worse.

My vote for best action figure?
Lifeline. Came with a medical suitcase you could hit guys with—and while he wouldn’t fire a gun in the show, you could sneak someone else’s pistol into his case and in my play I’d absolutely let him cap people in extreme situations.

Best action figures?

Easy response is Tomax and Xamot, the evil twins. You got two for a little more $ and could do the “punch one, both fall down” thing from the cartoon.

Shouts to @hooverstreetrag.org @jacketdan.bsky.social for sending me on a nostalgia trip.

GI Joe. (which are apparently 3 3/4”, thanks pod).

Best action figure?
Best accessory?

Ever wondered what it is like to sit in my class when one of my lectures goes way off the rails?

Good news, @jacketdan.bsky.social captured some of that spirit with me on the episode of @wthupod.bsky.social that dropped this morning.

And I was on national tv with a Kaz Sasaki “SAN SHIN” headband on doing some insane dance in slow motion.

It looks like a team of henchmen took the night off from crime and went to the Toronto Blue Jays game.

Can we discuss the arms on the guy in the white Jays jersey to the left of home plate?

Looks like a blowup suit.

It remains incredibly weird that Canada has exactly one baseball and basketball team, one PGA Tour event and zero good rappers.

4th grade girls and 6th grade girls are different.

The volatile 4th grader fell into the pool (which is <70 degrees and laughed uproariously.)

My wife told the sane 6th grader that she was dressed stylish, like her theatre director and she screamed crying out of the room.

Gonna be a long decade.

BYU may have the best uniforms for nighttime football.

They just absolutely sparkle.

Remember when fun players like Noah Fifita were in college football?

Those were fun Saturday nights…
