When my first kid was three, I realized what made that age so maddening was that they can interact with you like they're normal humans but they aren't able to hold that together from one minute to the next. Gradually, I figured out that pattern never stops for anyone, the intervals just get longer.
one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

4-year-old told me “I like you more than space likes planets” which as I understand is a huge honor in his culture

The most interesting thing about Trump, contra Kat Rosenfeld, is that he shows no loyalty to anyone and keeps selling out everyone he steps on to get where he wants and whenever one of his stepping stones like MTG get the temerity to think they have a reciprocal relationship they're all surprised!

I think it's really worth noting that literally ZERO mainstream media outlets were talking about Trump claiming a land strike on Venezuela until a few others and I noticed this post here on Sunday and started asking questions. That goes completely unacknowledged in coverage.
Trump says this December 26 in an interview with John Catsimatidis that the US destroyed a drug trafficking plant in Venezuela on Christmas Eve.
“They have a big plant. A building from where the boats leave. Two nights ago we hit them hard.”
