When my mother in law offers me food, I always say yes. Not because I’m a good son in law, but because I have a policy of not turning down free food. Even if she uses way too much salt in most everything.

I know enough Spanish to say to my neighbor that I don’t speak Spanish that well, so I guess that’s a good thing.

Fucked around and taught myself how to poach eggs this morning. Also made a runny hollandaise to go with it for my wife’s breakfast.

There is a car parked across the street from the house I live in that has unhoused drug addicts in it. They are frequenting an abandoned house down the block for drug activities and stole packages from our porch. I’m not particularly mad about the packages (we got replacements), I’m more mad that

I’m thinking of making a list of music for my 6 year old to listen to when he gets older, like high school age. One album on the list would be OK Computer by Radiohead. He’s very into technology and it presents a very late 90s version of the anxiety of the coming year tech.

As someone who is allergic to cats and avoided them for 40+ years it is interesting to be learning about what set it off in real time.

My wife and were flying to Atlanta from Newark. As the gate agent saw where we were flying said: “Atlanta? You gotta watch out. There’s a lot of undercover brothers there.” We now reference that whenever we see Atlanta listed anywhere
do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

This is Ruggles. One of our neighbors found him in her yard covered in fleas. It’s been two days and he has grown a bit. I’m allergic to cats but it will be hard to give this one up.

”If I can’t see it, it’s not illegal.”
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

I just said to my wife "I'm tired of exercising my demons, they're in better shape than I am". I think I'm ready to be a hack comedian

I tried one of our home grown Carolina Reapers tonight. 0/10 would not recommend unless you want to have your mouth on fire.

I think Calvinism is BS but I do agree with it in a sense. I do think that people who have the cilantro tastes like soap gene are not the elect and will not get to heaven.

Just discovered that Rick Astley and a band called Blossoms did a few concerts of Smiths songs. It’s good to see a non problematic person sing these songs.

I know it’s hacky to say how smart you kid is, but my kid is. Yesterday he set up his own google voice account using my phone number (which he memorized) so he can call us. He called me today at the office just to say hi. I love my weird little guy

There is a helicopter circling downtown right now. This was taken from chandler st heading towards Kelley Square. I wonder if it’s there to monitor a potential crowd for the council meeting.

Cowardice.
This is a bad look anytime, a completely horrible look in the aftermath of the Eureka Street fiasco.

This is a dog shit take. Nobody is telling you men or boys “you’re bad”. Facing repercussions for shitty behavior doesn’t necessarily make a person bad. My 6 year old does less than good stuff sometimes and I don’t tell him he’s bad. I tell him he’s the best buddy and that he can correct himself

Mel Kiper being mad over where Shadeur Sanders being drafted is hilarious. Talking about how the nfl can’t evaluate qbs, when he’s overrated some of the biggest bums like Brady Quinn.

I’m really curious to find out where the people who run the liquor store by stop and shop on Grafton road are from (I think they are Greek). But it’s not a good look for someone who looks like me to ask people where they are from or where they are “really” from.
