Nobody can agree on the issue of wedge salads. They’re too divisive.

This man is unstoppable! And I’m here for it! youtu.be/HM8Ee6pcXvQ?...

At 47, I can’t tell if I’ve missed my chance at a mid-life crisis or if I’m just going to be really, really old.

Zombie movies are my favorite. I thought I had seen every type of zombie story. I was wrong. Tonight I finished Maggie. If you enjoy human stories of the zombie apocalypse, this is your movie. Watch it before it leaves HBO this month if you have a subscription.

Thought of something funny earlier today. Then I forgot it. Pretend I posted it here.

When my son asks “Dad, what are you doing?” My new response is “Generating curiosity in the mind of a child.”

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of working with AI systems is discovering how similar the human computer is to the AI token prediction model. For example, look at behavioral economic studies on anchoring effects. You can prime human responses in a strikingly similar way as one can prime an LLM.

If I’ve learned anything about prompt engineering, it’s understanding how a genie’s three wishes can turn out so horribly wrong. #GenAI #AI #singularity

It took me a few days to come up with the only obvious response to my own joke: In-N-Out Burger

Are there many fast food restaurants named after their most famous recipes, or is it just Jack in the Box?

I’ve never used Tumblr. Is it time?

Whelp, that was a mistake. I asked my ChatGPT to roast me and it came back with: “You treat life like a beta product that never ships.” That bastard is brutal.

When late night satire flat out becomes news reporting, you really are in the Upside Down. This one just hit home for some reason.

On today, Feb 2nd, I’m reminded of my failed life goal of owning a television station that only airs Groundhog Day from 1993 on repeat day and night.

Given tomorrow is February, it’s probably time to take down our Christmas tree.

Well, it didn’t take long for this post to age poorly. 🥺

Since not enough people read, now would be a really good time for a remake of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Whoever made this, I salute you. Just incredible!

Is there a word for what you feel when a neighbor you don’t know walks around the corner while you’re in your yard shouting at your dog in your best Mrs Doubtfire voice and you then need to decide whether to switch to a normal voice or leave them thinking you’re an old Scottish woman?

In the United States, many on the Left are discovering why many on the Right are so focused on the need for a well regulated militia. The Right has been warning the Left about the need to preserve measures to protect against the government for decades. But at least the Left has whistles?

When I hear someone described as a horse’s ass, I can’t help but think it’s an oxymoron.

We stopped using the Elf this year, but our kids have taken to posing our Dummy 13 instead and I find it delightful. #3dprinting #Dummy13

Possibly one of the best cooking videos on YouTube youtu.be/bx0BlXeNet0?...

I passed gas a moment ago, but then my 9 year old son followed suit with a MUCH louder and longer fart. Just like that, he became the man of the house.

Whoever made the Ding Fries are Done song, you have ruined Christmas music for me every year for the past 30 years. Actually, I kinda like it, but my family can’t stand me singing it.

The summer theatre I worked at back in high school had an industrial clothes dryer it used as set dressing for a show. I plugged it in and was delighted to learn it still spun, just without heat. Long story short I now hold the record for longest time spent inside a spinning dryer.

Overheard in a medical waiting room: Wife: “I’m ready for anything with my purse. You need a Tide pen? I got it in here. What do you need?” Husband, signing: “I need a good divorce attorney.”

While making a white bean and turkey soup tonight, I added mustard powder on a hunch that it might work with the flavor profile. Holy hell, it’s like a secret ingredient. No mustard flavor, just a depth and richness. Almost like umami.

I wonder if tinnitus is a prerequisite for the Salvation Army, or if it’s just a bonus for the bell ringers?

Every supercut of the president claiming prices are coming down and how everything is great reminds me of the Iraqi Information Minister at the start of the second Gulf war. You have to be old enough to completely appreciate how accurate that is.

He’ll release his tax returns before we see the files.

I printed a Nanakatana as a gift for a 10 year old and now I have to make one for the whole class. #3dprinting #NanaKatana

No matter how much leash I give him, my dog only wants to sniff the spot just out of reach. There’s a life lesson in there somewhere.

Given the current state of our slang, I bet a number of people who’ve never seen the movie before completely misunderstand what those boys were up to in The Goonies.

Adults don’t understand why young kids love to say 6-7, but young kids don’t understand why adults love to say 6-9.

Technically speaking, my cardboard spaceship does in fact orbit the Sun.

My Uber just took me past a trailer community called Park Place and that’s it y’all, we can stop trying. They did it, they found the perfect name!

Ready for Halloween #3Dprinting #FullSizeCandyBar

It seems the US military might be manipulated into bombing any boat just by claiming it contains drugs. Surely no country or organization would ever consider taking advantage of that. Right?

Fresh words of wisdom from Trevor Noah. I always appreciate his perspective. Take a listen.

By the 2nd book in the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy (what Netflix’s The Three Body Problem is based on), I wondered why Rachel Carson’s book was such a big part of the first volume. That became apparent in Death’s End. No happy endings for the universal silent spring. #booksky #nospoilers

The Secret Handshake’s statue is back on the Mall, renamed from Best Friends Forever to Why Can’t We Be Friends. They “released the files” to make those cake toppers available to #3dprint & I now have these clowns decorating my bathroom. Unfortunately, the current president is facing my shower.

One of these days I’ll get around to letting my procrastination catch up to me and there will be consequences.

Not many movies I’ll give up on. But Mickey 17… ugh. Stuck in an airplane seat crossing the country, I quit the movie and watched the flight map instead.
