Working while waiting on the car to get fixed.
New notebooks for end of the year.
Trying to emerge from partial-baby hermitude and remember how to be a writer.

My elbow pops when I do push-ups now, so I guess that’s what I’m living with for the rest of my life.

What would be the purpose of buying tickets to a ballet in which no one learned how to dance? An opera in which no one learned how to sing? A gallery in which no one learned how to make art?

"Gatekeepers" is a buzz word for envy discouraging effort.

This has to be one of the greatest runs any director has ever experienced.

I think they should do a reboot of GI Joe where the Joes fight a organization with a benevolent public image that claims to help people continue coverage on the same healthcare plan after losing their job, but they secretly discover that behind this facade, it's actually very expensive

An extremely good point here to casual family users of this mess. You create AI content of you/your kids with Dis characters and upload/host it on Disney’s servers… you know that means Disney OWNS YOUR LIKENESS and may very well sell/exploit it with you having ZERO say? Just sayin…
The agreement between the Walt Disney Company and OpenAl for Disney to license its content to Sora, a short-form generative Al video platform, raises several major concerns that not only affect animation workers but consumers and families around the world. Please read.

OK, besides Krypto continually being the worst part of these movies, this looks really rad.

So here's what I wish for us:
* we give books as holiday gifts
* we get them from our local indie bookstores
* we spend time reading with the people and pets we love
* when we feel the call, we write
* we get enough sun, nutrients, movement, and sleep
* we bloom again in springtime & kick ass. 11/11

The most important thing I learned in college was when I went grocery shopping for myself and bought the fancy all-natural bread with "no preservatives," as to avoid the chemicals that had poisoned the last generation, then was shocked that 48 hours later it was covered in mold

As the year winds down, and the decorations go up, and the nights last longer, and the days get shorter, and the temperature finally drops below 70, I emerge from my brain fog of the last several months, forming first coherent thoughts, and realizing one thing:
I have a newborn. And I am an idiot.

Hi. Father of four here.
This post is so accurate it made MY lung fall out of my butthole.
men describing pregnancy: it's not a big deal, your body was naturally designed for it

women describing pregnancy: yeah 7 of my toenails fell off, my liver and spleen switched places, my lung fell out of my butthole, and I began seeing an entity known only as "the shadow lady"
