yknow, it's a bummer that posting a picture in any online space now guarantees its (non-consensual) use as training data for every random AI image generator, cuz my 1 month old daughter is redefining cuteness over here and I have to keep it to myself

there are worse problems to have, I guess 😍
Finally finished the beast of a book that is Memories Of Ice, volume 3 of the #Malazan series. I am fucking ASTOUNDED at how attached I became to so many different characters.

Finally caught up on the released #CobraKai episodes, have two general thoughts:

1) despite some questionable narrative choices in the first 2/3 of s6, overall this show is still WILDLY underrated & one of Netflix's best

2) this trend of releasing chunks of a single "season" over months is awful

Yesterday, my wife and I argued in the car for 20mins over if the "A" in the second "A-P-T" of each "A-P-T, A-P-T" phrase in the chorus of the Rosé/Bruno Mars song (aptly titled "APT") is actually sung

Yes, 20mins is not an exaggeration

This is what marriage with your best friend does to you 🤣

There's an episode of Seinfeld where David Puddy, one of Elaine's boyfriends played by Patrick Warburton, questions why chips and dip can't be a meal by itself. It's played purely for laughs as Elaine judges him for being an idiot

I think about that scene a lot bc he is absolutely fucking right

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

My wife sometimes watches these Chinese music shows and the performers' outfits are often completely unhinged

This motherfucker is wearing a jacket loaded with those little plastic tag things like it's nbd

(kinda low-key wish I had the confidence to get on stage in something so bizarre tho)

Unasked-for thoughts after watching 2 episodes of season 14:

Boz is an amazing new addition and MUCH better than Crystal
Dorit is correct over Kyle
PK is correct over Dorit
Sutton&Erika are a more fun friendship than Sutton&Garcelle

Okay, I'm not normally one to share my Spotify Wrapped results cuz like, who really cares, right

But I feel too proud of leading the charge to keep Jamiroquai relevant to not share this stat

If you have any questions, please write them down and drop them in this comically large furry hat. Thx

Becoming a parent really turns you into a sicko.

Whenever I change my daughter's nappy, the gnarlier the poo, the more proud I am.

Not even of her, exactly. Just of, like, the universe, and the very concept of entropy.

I honestly don't understand why "The 8 Show" isn't a smash hit. It hits on all the themes of Squid Game in a much more focused package that isn't afraid to leave some (major!) things unexplained. And no obvious season 2 lead-ins, thank god.

HIGHLY recommend watching it if you enjoyed Squid Game

You can't convince me these Netflix holiday specials aren't 100% AI generated. And I don't just mean the scripts. These lead actors are the platonic ideal of "well-off-but-not-quite-wealthy white suburbanite". I refuse to believe they're real people

At Costco today, I got a nearly full size slice of biscoff cheesecake just handed to me in a paper cup as a "sample", no utensils as if the lady wanted to convey that she SAW the fatass hiding inside me

(You'd best believe I hid behind a fridge and jammed that delicious cube into my face hole 🤤)

I feel like sharing some of my favourite Kindle highlights to help find others who enjoy the same books/genres. Might make this a regular thing?

Since I'm currently getting back into my #Malazan BotF read-through, I feel compelled to kick this off with the poem that opens this amazing series:

Warming up in Sydney! 🌞 Feeling oddly ready for summer, going for a bit of a walk in the heat feels cleansing (sweaty...well... *everything* notwithstanding)

Laying on the couch with my passed out baby on my chest is one of life's greatest simple pleasures. She's like a little warm weighted blanket 🥰
