Just listened to an Oct 2023 episode of Across the Movie Aisle where they discuss how axolotls would be the next ‘trend animal’ for kids and I keep thinking about how much axolotl stuff my 8yo has asked for this year. #ceruleanblue

My wife brought home some Margo Maloo books for our 8yo having no idea that @drewweing.bsky.social’s Journal Comic was my introduction to webcomics decades ago and the randomness of the internet is melting my brain a bit.

The kiddo was wrecked when he realized there would be no parade but this post-season run made a new baseball fan. What a battle, oh, so close.

Been actively listening to more podcasts from the 'Canadian right' to balance my naturally more progressive-technocratic leanings but find them so intellectually dishonest.
