Drew a picture of Sam Altman for whatever reason

7 month old baby is starting to say "dada" a lot, seems a little young to be expressing interest in early 20th century avant-garde art but what do I know

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

I never met Dolly Parton but I always liked knowing she was out there being awesome and trying to make the world better. Now we're left with all these other assholes actively trying to make it worse, and that makes me sad.

Apparently spilling a large quantity of water onto a pair of headphones is bad for them, just in case anyone was considering trying it. Don't do it

Free time has been an increasingly rare commodity around here these days, but I finally finished this drawing I'd started back in February, inspired by the @nin.com rock & roll concert I was privileged to attend. What a great show.

Stay in the know, but remember to practice self care and touch grass and seek laughter and whatnot.

I'm excited by the prospect of seeing the first McDonald's on the moon in my lifetime

In other personal news, I became a parent recently. I was just thinking how I've been around long enough to have known more than one person who was alive in the 19th century, while there's a good chance my kid will see the 22nd. Four fucking centuries. That's so weird.

(THREAD ALERT 1/11) Back in 2022, I was involved in a very minor traffic accident. Insurance info was exchanged, photos taken, thought that was the end of it (other than my premiums going up). Boy, was I wrong.

(10/11) I was found not liable. One of the most bizarre, frustrating and nerve-wracking periods of my life was finally over. I'm still processing it. Everything else in the world might still be terrible, but at least there was this one small victory. There's more to the story, but that's the gist.

(11/11) It's a relief to finally be able to talk about it. The legal system is crazy and you can literally sue anyone for anything. We were even prepared to file for bankruptcy if necessary. But it's over, and the plaintiff got nothing for their efforts. And I can finally fucking breathe again!

(8/11) Miraculously, there was another last-minute rescheduling which allowed us to once again attend the show. Soon after, I was back in LA for the trial, a mere three and a half years after the accident.

(9/11) After two days of pre-trial motions, a day of jury selection, two days of actual trial, and about a half hour of deliberation, the verdict came in.

(6/11) The following month, my wife and I moved across the country, for unrelated reasons. We had been making plans for the move since the beginning of the year, naively thinking the trial would be long over by the fall.

(7/11) It got postponed again until January. Woohoo, I still get to see the show! A couple months later, the 2026 dates were announced. I bought tickets for the show nearest to me, but wouldn't you know it, the trial was once again scheduled for the same week. This was starting to feel intentional.

(4/11) My insurance company offered them a settlement. They refused, demanding more money. Insurance company offered the full policy limit, they still refused. Insurance company asked me if I wanted to throw in some of my own money to "sweeten the deal" for the plaintiff. I said they can kick rocks.

(5/11) The case dragged on. I gave multiple sworn depositions. The plaintiff wanted a jury trial, and it was scheduled for May 2025. It got postponed until August, coincidentally at the same time of the Nine Inch Nails concert I was planning to attend. What luck!

(2/11) Living in a city that's increasingly overrun with billboards and bus ads for ambulance chasing accident lawyers promising huge payouts, I shouldn't have been surprised when I soon got served with papers notifying me that I was now the defendant in a lawsuit for an absurd amount of money.
