Apparently Gritty traveled with the Flyers to the #STLBlues game last night and was on the ice with #STLCards Fredbird. I have so many questions. Where's Louie? What other shenanigans did they get into?

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Penny died on November 9. She was 16 years old. How lucky I feel to have shared a life with her. She was a comedian and a hellraiser. She’d do something silly and then give you a look to make sure you were in on the joke. She tore through old dirt bike tires and horse balls. When we moved into our house in 2019, she ran across the bridge over the creek a few times and then realized she could just jump straight over the creek, so she’d go tearing after her ball and just blast herself into the air. She could jump high enough to see over the 6 foot fence and she’d scare the shit out of people when her head popped up. She loved getting comfy. She’d sleep on as many pillows as possible, her whole body curled up next to my head. She had a special spot on the east side of the house where she’d lay in the morning sun and bake her belly until she was practically overheating. When we went camping, she’d slowly shove me off my sleeping pad and take over. She was too independent to cuddle for long, but after breakfast in the mornings, she would get back in bed with me and let me hold her for a while. She loved ear rubs and forehead kisses. She ran miles and miles. She loved to sprint up and down the beach, racing past the waves. You could see her eyes go peaceful as her body picked up speed. She eagerly chased Nate on his mountain bike and challenged me to keep up. She ran through the woods alongside us when we snowshoed the PCT, crashing through the crusted snow and paddling in the powder underneath. She hated rain and would lay her ears out sideways to try to keep water from dripping in. Afterward, she would scrub her whole body up and down the couch, grunting and wiggling to get her ears dry. She begrudgingly learned to swim after anxiously watching me jump in an alpine lake, and learned to love it when she realized she could fetch sticks out of the water. She ruined every fishing trip she went on after that, thinking the lures cast into the water were for her to chas… She obsessed over seeing unusual animals. Her favorite were deer, and she had a special sort of yodeling cry I only ever heard her make for them. When one of our neighbors got a goat, she’d eagerly go up to the fence and marvel at him. On one of our last walks around Lake Merritt, she met a horse and just stared and stared. Penny was my best friend. We resembled each other in so many ways — both fiery, stubborn, fiercely loving and loyal but quick to lash out. I trusted her taste in people, and she trusted me. We could be gentle with each other, even when we struggled to be soft with others. Loving her — and I think loving any being deeply — held up a mirror to all my flaws. I had to look at my laziness on the days I didn’t feel like walking her, at my impatience when we wanted conflicting things, at my inattentiveness when I took my eye off her and she escaped down the storm drain, and I had to go crawling through the drains of Oakland with a flashlight to fish her out. She forced me to grow, but I also ache at all the big and small ways I let her down. She was by my side for the very best and worst moments of my life. When I met her, I felt this little wisp of flame inside me that was the start of a family, and I kept it so secret for fear of extinguishing it. She was Nate’s little girl before she was mine, and when I came along, she begrudgingly gave up her seat in the truck and then sat on the floor glowering at me. Together, we set off on the adventure of being a family and it felt so fragile I could barely breathe — the terror of the hope to be loved. When we split up, Nate gave Penny and I the kindness of allowing us to stay together, a huge self-sacrifice. I will always be grateful for that. In her later years, Penny kept learning. She picked up new commands without me even knowing it. She learned what free boxes were and how to dig in them to find a new stuffy to carry home with her. She made a fast friend in Luna, whose easy, gentle presence comple…

Apple: We think you’re gonna love it!

Apple has made a $230 iPhone sock 😅 the iPhone Pocket is actually a knitted bag, and Apple will start selling it on Friday www.theverge.com/news/818328/...

The iPhone Pocket isn’t really a pocket at all.

2 years ago I snuck a home hiding in the bushes ornament on the tree and it took my wife less than a day to spot it. Wonder how long it'll take her to find the Zelda cartridge this year?

Some days are shit and there is nothing to be done about that. On those days this reminder from @akivamcohen.bsky.social sobers me up.
Work. Work knowing that it's *not* going to "solve the problem." Work knowing it's *not* going to change the world, or 'make a •difference' on anything but an interpersonal scale. Make something, anything, a little bit better for someone today. A friend. A loved one. A stranger. This isn't "fixable". Sorry. But your job isn't to fix it and the fact that it's not fixable doesn't mean you have the option of not working. Work.
