A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Playing Mario Kart with my 7yo twins

Daughter: strategizing; learning how items work; climbing the ranks

Son: doing a whole race with the rear-view camera; seeing how many cars he can flip in Toad’s Turnpike; cackling

He would like to learn more about this “rotisserie chicken” he has heard about

Built a fence, worked out, and called my members of Congress today. Still angry, but trying to keep moving forward.

These technologies can and are being used to create lifelike images and videos of actual living women and girls. For what I think are pretty obvious gendered civil rights reasons, it needs to be a recognized civil cause of action to create an AI image or avatar of a woman without her consent.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

My wife got me Rumors, Hot Fuss, and Folklore. I think she’s the one.
Snagged a pretty great record collection from someone who didn’t want to move them to their new house, then got a player for my birthday and the stand as an early Christmas present. I think I’m a Vinyl Guy now?

We made these last night, and this morning my 4yo forgot the word for pecan and asked if the cookies with leprechauns on top were ready

You ever work in a legacy spaghetti codebase all day and then immediately start stress-cleaning your house in a desperate attempt to regain some semblance of order in your life?

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

Found this in a shoebox full of recipes at my in-laws’ place. That’s the extent of the context, please enjoy.

Watching a PBS feature about javelinas this morning because my 4yo woke up and asked “can we learn more about the animal I thought was a beaver?”

When you play games with your kids do you metagame to help them win or do you mercilessly destroy them with your superior frontal lobe?

I started making Dragon Ball Z fan websites as a kid. After a winding career involving behavior therapy, marketing/comms, & photo/videography, I landed in web dev & have never been happier.

At our 1st virtual team meeting I find out my manager has several framed DBZ cel prints on his wall.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

4yo: Why do bears hibernate?

Me, trying to lead her to the answer: Well, what do bears eat?

4yo, confidentially: Snowflakes.

A reminder to all my fellow men that if you ever hear any of your friends, relatives, coworkers, acquaintances, etc even flirt with this sort of talk, you have a responsibility to loudly and clearly tell them they’re out of their fucking mind.
