I didn't think I had any toxic masculine traits until my wife pointed out to her family that I don't own any jackets with hoods.

When my brother in law asked what I did when it rained I said: "Get wet like a cool person."

My children have a bunch of Imaginext Superheroes, and always put Captain Atom in with the bad guys, proving that even 3 year olds can predict the ending of Armageddon 2001.

I’m a MAJOR owl fan, but my favourite is the burrowing owl:
✔️v frowny & grumpy-they know what you did last Tuesday
✔️digs holes then peeps out of them
✔️EXPERTS at the wobbly head bendy neck owl thing
✔️long leggies
✔️does very silly running on said leggies
10/10 no owly notes HIGHLY recommended

An underrated thing about Star Trek is that they all write in their little diaries everyday. Very mindful space behavior.

When I think about how easy it would have been for me to become a rock-a-billy guy if my social circle in high school had just been SLIGHTLY different a chill runs down my spine.

Kids are getting a little big to be sitting next to each other in the cargo bike. Also, an acoustic cargo bike is fairly limited in range that I can take them, as it's heavy fully loaded.

What are the good larger box cargo bikes? Should I look at using an ebike conversion kit on my current bike?

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

What did you do when your kids started getting a bit big to ride in the cargo bike together?

The 7 year old can go lots of places on his own, but definitely not everywhere. 3yo still needs to ride with me.

I'm flirting with getting a bigger cargo ebike. Thoughts? #bikesky #cargobike

"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."

—Not surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.

I once saw Dylan Moran eating in a Greek Restaurant I was walking past. He saw me notice him and nodded while not stopping talking to the people he was dining with.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Me to my nearly 3 year old: "You're going to learn how to use the big boy potty!"

*Whispers to my 7 year old*: "And you're going to learn how to use the GIANT boy potty."

🚨ICE ALERT 🚨

If you see this vehicle or these two individuals, they are ICE agents and they disappeared two individuals at the Pittsburgh Municipal Courthouse today after refusing to show their attorneys a warrant.

Reporting ICE is community safety.

The guy on the plane next to me just took his shoes off LIKE AN ANIMAL.

How are we still living like this in 2025? Society is crumbling, all we have is each other! We need to respect our fellow passengers!

In college my best friend used to cook a steak and then eat it with his bare hands like a caveman.

I miss him every single day. 😂

About to head into my flute exam. First test of anything in 20 years. I'm excited/nervous!

Wish me luck!

It's my eldest sons birthday today, and he received his first ever bike with gears.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

Chicago Pope thinks My Boys was an underrated show, and offers indulgences to any TBS expects who pledge to bring it back.

Since he's from the Midwest, should we call him the Ope?

One nice thing about this tariff stupidity is that it's tanked the dollar, so when I order my mom's Mother's Day flowers I get a nice tidy discount.

As long as there's no ill-effects for the entire goddamn world economy I say "Way to go!"

When I hear that someone I dislike has died, I usually say, "Never again will he mock my power vest." Try it, it's very relaxing.
