Me: “hey what do you call an impolite -“ Daughter: “Rude-oldf“ Me: “…reindeer”

Every Nextdoor post is like “I hired a plumber who stole my packages and my dog. NEVER AGAIN”

I’m 60% sure my oldest daughter told her little sister to “Stop dickin’ around” but that’s not enough confidence to talk to her about it without accidentally teaching her to say “Stop dickin’ around”

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty. It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death. It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.

Walking into 2026

Die Hard is a Children’s movie.

Wrapping presents on a #caturday

I use a “Heard Chef” emoji liberally at work. It’s the perfect acknowledgement without an implicit agreement. I would love to have something like it available outside of slack.

Dollar General

I just helped my 3-year-old recover from Hyperventilating by singing @alyankovic.bsky.social’s The Saga Begins to her. AMA.

Gauging my 6-year-olds’s diva levels today: She just told me that she was an empire.

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel

[naive cinephile who watched the KPop Demon Hunters fireplace instead of the actual movie] Wow. This movie is one single shot. I get the hype.

Asian-American Actresses Describe Struggle Of Constantly Being Typecast As Sherlock Holmes

The Rolling Stones covered “Like a Rolling Stone” which I’m surprised I hadn’t heard until today #xpncountdown music.apple.com/us/album/lik...

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

I’m getting LASIK in one week. Are there any obvious iOS accessibility features that I should enable for my recovery period?

[Eating dinner and looking out the window at the winter decorations] Me: Melody, what do think of the lights? Melody (3 year old): I love them! Me: Did you see me put them up? Melody: Yes! Do you know who didn’t put them up? Me: Who? Melody: (pointing at herself) ME!!!!!

Kittens’ first snow

I’m always looking for concert film recommendations available on the Apple TV store.

AI can solve late-stage capitalism though by breaking it completely

Two topics came up repeatedly over thanksgiving with my family: 1) Can AI solve this problem for me (no) 2) Late-stage capitalism?

This two-minute joke video is now the basis of my political, social, and religious beliefs. I support One Big Wife.

Man Who Thought Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Chain’ Was Over In For Thrill Of His Fucking Life

My wife just invented crannaise (cranberry sauce with mayonnaise) and I’m having a hard time accepting it.

I brought the Hoobastank to thanksgiving. It’s an old family recipe.

If Godzilla ever milkshake-ducks, I’m not going to have anything to wear.

Having a partner who is also a game developer is awesome for so many reasons, but I never imagined that #Playdate (and frogs) would play a part in our engagement story. Needless to say, I said yes, and Paco & Lily is now available for free on itch for you to play too! 🥰 tkers.itch.io/paco-and-lily

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I dress like I’m on a TV show that only had advertising deals with Godzilla and Kirkland brands.

This is what it’s like growing up in rural America, and it’s probably the source of a lot of our problems.

My 3-year-old just said “widderawy” instead of literally, and it made her sound like a little baby teenager.

That’s a good Mothra
