I ate so much peppermint bark, I now qualify as a tree in 12 states.

Twitch plays organize my basement

With as popular as "Bluey" is, I'm kind of surprised to not see more weirdo dads playing fun games with their kids out in the wild. Maybe I need to get out more?

“my favorite form of entertainment is downloading PDFs” I found my people.

Hacked up a poast-only Raycast extension, and it's working. 🎉 Probably would be nice to clean it up.

“God has a special providence for fools, drunkards, and the United States of America.” — Otto von Bismarck Happy Thanksgiving (earnest)!

You know what Thanksgiving needs? A hit song. Something so catchy and sincere and fun. It plays everywhere, people hum it when they hear the word “turkey.” This is the first step to winning the war on Christmas.

Thinking today about how only one family member has been killed in service either this century or last: my great grand uncle William Hesford ran away from home at 14 to fight in the Great War before the US joined. Fought with British fusiliers before dying in France at age 15.

ISO of that meme with the lobsters fighting and the people betting on them and everyone labeled “leftist”

Oddly gratifying to see other people struggle to carry my children, when I do so with ease. All of those years in gyms, garages, and basements lifting weights continues to pay off. Now, time to lug around bags of soil and hoist them over a fence.
