This is so embarrassing

I watched You Can See Everything last night—and spent the whole day wondering if Errol Morris had seen it yet and if I could somehow talk to him about it. Also, I saw the WeWork building as I took my kid to the Austin central library.

Wemby seems to meet up with Brandon Sanderson every time the Spurs are in Utah

Was Ted Cruz there?

Do people know that Farrah Abraham from Teen Mom is running for an Austin city council seat? (It’s my district)

It’s my good friend Use Verification Code texting me again

My 5-year-old just called me Mister Nerd and laughed

*Mr Beast voice* I HELPED THIS WOMAN TURN A ROOM FULL OF STRAW INTO GOLD USING ONLY A SPINNING WHEEL! IF SHE CAN'T GUESS MY NAME IN THREE DAYS, I'M TAKING HER BABY!

Today I took my kid to an arcade. We played Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja and ate burgers with “President Ronnie”

This Wikipedia article on the band Pacific Gas & Electric has a section that reads like a “Where Are They Now?” text epilogue that plays in silence right before the closing credits

Light the fuse

He’s just standing in his living room, wearing a suit and tie, waiting for strangers to notice him. When one does, he says, “It’s good to see you” while his wife stands in the background and smiles. HE HAS TURNED. THIS IS POD PEOPLE SHIT.

Here is what seems to be happening at KUT, Austin's NPR affiliate. 1. The GOP regime cuts NPR funding. 2. KUT organizes a festival to raise money. 3. GOP political appointees at the University of Texas try to kill the festival by banning it from UT facilites just before it starts, with no warning.

I haven’t told my five-year-old—who went to bed at halftime—that the Spurs lost yet. I didn’t want to ruin his day at art camp.

Guys, I’m starting to think that corgi might not be on the level

This guy is probably ON HERE now

Adding "Lu Dort" to the list of things that David Letterman would yell at Paul Shaffer at 12:23

The palpable desire to be ensconced in bed just a little longer on Sunday morning

Boo this aggie

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Oh cool body horror Fix-a-Flat

That punch-in jump cut when he says “churches” and then the cut to her VERY CONCERNED FACE is lololololololol

My five-year-old: Dad, I have one simple question for you. Me: What is it, buddy? My five-year-old: …. Me: Yes…? My five-year-old, smiling: Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?

At drop off this morning, my 5-year-old wouldn’t get out of the car because he wanted to keep listening to “Remember (Walking in the Sand)” by The Shangri-Las

My 4-(nearly 5)-year-old keeps saying that our Christmas tree is “beautiful” and that Santa will love it—it’s almost too much for my heart

lol okay

what was this guy’s fucking problem

Listen: I teach a class at 8am tomorrow AND I have a one-hour commute. I’m going to bed

My 4-year-old pointed to the two red flowers and said, “Those look like little demogorgons.” And I was like,”What???” (And then I remembered there’s a Stranger Things pinball machine at the neighborhood pizza place.)

Oh…I currently have COVID! Not fun. Would not recommend.

Random memory inspired by recent news: My parents took me to see the magician Harry Blackstone Jr when he performed in Corpus. His act was full of topical jokes, including one where he showed an empty box or cage and said, “It’s as empty as Fawn Hall’s filing cabinet.”

I leave to take my four-year-old to a swimming lesson at a lovely municipal pool—and then come back to this fresh hell

Aww…I love you too, son.

I guess I’ll never achieve my childhood dream of being the first American pope now

Not today, Satan. (This listing seems ominous AF)

Just sharing this photo I took back in 2018 of a crosswalk in my neighborhood.

A film that takes place where you’re from

I (ahem, EYE!) had a Polyphemus joke—but only one.

For some unknown reason, Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction sent an email to my work account at 2:53 AM

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving: me, five students, and two dozen donuts

My three-year-old kid’s assessment of the cybertruck: “Too many hexagons.” I think he’s right.

Friday adventurers at the Austin Central Library

To my five followers: I’m back
