Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself
1. Does this need to be said
2. Does this need to be said by me
3. Does this need to be said by me right now
It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

I had a wonderful holiday.
Adults do a secret Santa only. Gifts for the kids.
Breakfast of beautiful duck egg GF popovers.
The late meat was just well prepared ham, mashed potatoes and green beans.
Beautiful handmade desserts all over.
Surprisingly, a great game of Cards Against Humanity!🍽️

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i."
No learning takes place under this system.
The only benefactors of this system are the corporations being paid for the "A.i." products.

If you are a teacher, I beg you with everything I have:
Do not inflict "A.i." on your students. Do not make them use this evil tech that could end up telling them to kill themselves. Do not make them use image generators that destroy their innate, human ability to create on their own.

But the FBI is 100% sure that a Portuguese national is the shooter, huh?
Convenient.

As someone who worked in a Bourdain era restaurant, I found “The Bear” unwatchable. There’s all sorts of abuse and illegal behavior and psychological torture in that environment. But not like that.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Chicken version this morning. 3 eggs. 🥚 someone called it cornmeal cake. But it’s not sweet. I suppose it’s not a true bread either? Whatever. It’s easy and smells good.
