I love it that Instagram has non-skippable ad breaks now.

I'm not being sarcastic, it's the perfect sign to stop the scrolling.

Things I've made instantly uncool to my 5yo daughter by saying I like them, too:

- Bluey
- Phoebe and Her Unicorn (sorry, @danasimpson.com - although I know she still looks at them when I'm not looking)
- Vanilla ice cream
- 7 Nation Army by the White Stripes

...I'm sure this list will only grow

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THIS FUCKING HAPPENED?
I HAD LOST ALL FAITH IN THE WORLD, HOW DARE YOU SHOW ME THIS?

So, the 5yo just turned to me amidst a disagreement and clearly annoyed, announced:

"Daddy, you're such a pain in the neck!"

...So, it begins.

The dumbest thing about this shit is that I'm a cis man and have entered literally hundreds of women's bathrooms in the last 5 years.

Because I had 2 kids and that's where the diaper changers usually are. (Fortunately, in Portugal, we still haven't imported this particular moral panic)
Concrete proposals made for UK public enforcement of washroom trans ban. Lgbtq visitors to UK please be aware and all trans people travel in pairs, avoid any known conflict sites and do not take direct action but withdraw and call police if harassed in washrooms.

I know it's probably not gonna happen, but if this post makes someone in the USA (or anywhere else) read Mafalda, then it's worth it.

(I grew up with Mafalda in the same way many Americans grew up with the Peanuts. I have a picture with her statue in Buenos Aires when I went there in 2019)

Post a banger that's not in English.

Seems like a great excuse to share my all time favorite Portuguese song

If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?

Psychiatrist just prescribed me anti depressives and I'm reading the pamphlet to see what I'm getting myself into.

"Possible side effects: depression".

Oh, Ok, then.

My 11 year old daughter has a very dry sense of humour and knows me well. They are studying evolution in year 6 and I asked her what evolution was. She said with perfect straight face:

‘It’s when Jesus turned Darwin into a monkey, Dad’.

Q Pilled?
Rothstock, 20, enters Bettauer's office on the pretext of delivering a note, and fires two shots into his midsection. Rothstock boasts to police that he is "part of something really big"—but doesn't elaborate. And he wins some sympathy by saying he is fighting immorality. 5/5

I don't send email surveys to branches because I don't want to sift through 200+ answers, imagine millions.

Good luck with that.

Meeting with another analyst about some weird numbers in a report. At a certain point, we just stop talking and spend 20 minutes silently writing code and analysing numbers. Most productive meeting ever.

Ok, my 4 year old is officially more in tune with pop culture than I am (she introduced me to APT. by Rosé and Bruno Mars)

Very good news. Been a fan of Webcomic Name for years and Alex deserves some peace.

Not excellent news because I'd rather the game company didn't get one bit after a shameless grab, but at least it's over

I just started a new account, @250yearsagonews.bsky.social, to track the events of exactly 250 years ago as we head into the Revolutionary War and independence. Can I keep it going for eight years of the war? Let’s see!

Always worth sharing!

My piece from the @cartoonart.bsky.social Watterson tribute, a few years ago. I like to call it “Susie’s Revenge.”

So, I'm bored off my skull but I have a Master's thesis to write and sharing tidbits about my readings might actually encourage me to write more and, boy, do I need it.

So, thread:
