Midwestern D&D & World of Warcraft enthusiast, Exasperated cat dad. I know just enough about most things to be dangerous, but not *good*.
We were gifted a used litter robot 3 about 1.5 years ago. Despite a recurring bonnet error problem & some mystery litter leakage, it was still a huge improvement from multiple standard boxes.
Since I got a modest windfall, we just upgraded to a 4. I'm immediately impressed with how quiet it is.

Wife didn't latch the front door so our cat Goblin escaped. We ran around the block hoping he hadn't gone far because it'd been less than an hour- no dice.
So i settled on the porch to keep an eye out during my lunch.
Lo & behold, 10 mins later I hear the dog 3 doors down going nuts. 1/

"Kaegan, you can't do this right now, there are demons."

This fantastic sentance brought to you my wife trying play Diablo 4, but Kaegan keeps rubbing her face on the controller and firing off random abilities.

Ancient Congressman: so it said, "notices, bulges, oh double-u oh-"
Patel: sir, it was actually "notices bulge, oh-woh"
AC: what's an oh-woh?
P: it's a face, sir
AC: a face?
P: the Os are wide eyes
AC: why is the mouth a W?
P: I believe it's a dog, sir, or maybe a cat
AC: and the bulge?

There's a 127 yr old Dutch bakery almost an hour away from me. Since I was little, my family would go once a year to acquire an excessive amount of glorious almond pastries to enjoy over a few days.
Once us kids moved out, it was really hard to coordinate this trip- a new tradition was needed. 1/

Mmmmmmm! Homemade margaritas with fresh lime and cointreau, just because it sounded good.
I do not deserve my beautiful, talented wife. I'm so spoiled!

Deliriously bad AI slop restaurant site, but OP's alt-text alone is worth a glance.
my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)

"Here is Chicken Jockey from Minnesota!"
Goddamn this is joyous.
She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩

My DM wife requested i stat up some kobold mobsters and a rampaging slot machine encounter for D&D tomorrow.
Think I hit a good balance of buff/debuff randomness that won't be a headache to run! She might not like that spinning the slots are a free object action, but the debuffs offset action econ.

My wife was excitedly harvesting the first big round of garden tomatoes this morning, carefully placing them at the edge of the raised bed behind her.
Only to turn around and discover that Phineas had already helped himself to the biggest, prettiest Purple Cherokee.

I love my neighborhood so much sometimes. Yesterday I was on my porch when a pack of six 7-10 year-olds lead by a girl with a snow shovel stop in front on my yard.
Leader: Hey mister!
Me: Hey, kids, what's up?
Leader: Can we pick up trash in your yard for a few hours?

A couple adolescent raccoons visited while I was on the porch tonight. Probably only about 16in long nose-to-tail.
The other one was way more adept at dodging my camera.

Cleaned my keyboard tonight!
While it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be after 10 years, I have no clue what I eat that creates such vibrantly orange crumbs.

I've been workshopping a Sisyphus joke too, but it's an uphill battle.
I have one about Sisyphus but it's a heavy lift
I wanted to make a joke about Athena but jokes don't just spring forth from your head fully-formed, you know

This is the most pissbaby shit I have seen in a minute.
This album wasn't my fave thing Beyonce's ever done, but it was more interesting than anything mainstream bro country has done for 23 years.

*watching Maverick with my wife*
Me: You know, Gibson reminds me of when I first grew out longer sideburns.
Her: At least his are even.
Me: *shocked pearl clutching* Pain! I am wounded!
Her: *cackling*

I think the MAHA right rejects the fact pregnancy is a high risk condition for 3 reasons:
-it undermines eugenics & the idea that health problems are moral failings
-it supports that birth control & abortion are healthcare
-it makes the cruelty of forced birth more obvious

Fuck I can't get comfortable to sleep. Left butt cheek, right knee, and (surprise latecomer) right ankle are all pissed from the stairs incident.
May 20, 2025 at 8:07 AM
Slipped going down the last couple stairs in my house. Probably jammed knee and definitely bruised ass cheek.
Just when my arm was finally healing from shoveling, dammit.

When I teach kids classes I sometimes get parents who ask if I also teach chivalry and knightly behaviour. That's when I whip out the instructions on how to rob a peasant.

Ok, it may not look like it, but this is a big deal.
Kaegan (tuxedo) is elderly, has always been anxious, & averse to climbing anything taller than 3ft.
Goblin (void) is very dominant & territorial.
So them snuggled together on the 5ft high cat shelves above my desk is a minor miracle.

Spotted on Google Maps, from a folkloric perspective this seems unwise…

Remembered I have absinthe, so i louched a couple glasses tonight.
I'm still nursing a tennis elbow injury from shoveling many tons of dirt a couple weeks ago, and i have to sink some posts for trellises in the AM, so I deserve a treat before bed.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.
