Similarly, we have these billboards around town (because, LA), and my 10yo glanced at this one and said, “who CARES, Robert Scientologist?”
Billboard advertising Scientology with the slogan “I’m a Scientologist. -Robert, Cinematographer,” “Curious?,” a link to the Scientology website, and a picture of a smiling man.

At this point, I can only assume USC Athletics is paying off the AP to specifically disrespect the football team to the level where it motivates them to play with the world’s biggest chip on their shoulders. Let’s hope the maneuvering pays off! ✌🏽
AP College Football poll after three weeks, showing Notre Dame (!!) ranked above USC after ND started 0-2 and USC 3-0.

I try not to be too smug about “the good old days,” so I’ll just say that our Coachella experience in 2009 was ideal: we stayed at the just-opened Ace Hotel in Palm Springs for $129/night and spent every day lounging at their swim-up pool before driving over to Coachella to see this insane lineup.
The 2009 Coachella lineup, headlined by Paul McCartney, The Killers, and The Cure.

My 9yo has been asking me to replace my printer toner for the last few weeks so she can make some cute paper craft and I keep forgetting. Today, she decided to try a new avenue of persuasion: her Christmas/birthday wishlist. Especially love the applied legend: ❌ = not gotten YET!! Just FYI, mommy.
A child’s Christmas/birthday wishlist, including a number of items that have been marked “gotten” or “not gotten YET.” One of the newest additions is “to be able to print stuff on mommy’s printer” with an X for “not gotten YET” next to it.

Just started using a face cream that has micro-needles in it, which is pretty wild if I think about it too much (the tingling is… being micro-pricked?!), but I can only trust Donna here and hope my face AND base will be delighted with the outcome.

A photo of people gathered around a campfire burning on a semi-frozen river in Denali National Park, Alaska. Several clusters of stars and the faint aurora borealis are visible.

Tonight, @evanphx.dev and I realized that we’re not in any group chats with funny or pithy group names… and then we realized that basically the only named chat we’re in is this one with our 9yo. She named it. 😝
A group chat with my child and partner called: “My parents”

Lately, @evanphx.dev’s been watching Foundation, and subsequently, I’ve half-watched a few episodes. So now I just have this running through my head constantly. 🙉😆
Still from a once-ubiquitous tv commercial whose jingle was: 800-588-2300… EMPIRE!!!

We gave the Timeshifter app a try to work on jet lag on the way to and from Europe. I ended up not following any of their instructions, whoops. But even if I had been following the rest of the directives, I definitely would have scoffed at this one. 😆😂

Follow-up: I have an afternoon coffee today (homemade vanilla latte!) and all is once more right in the world.

I can’t wait for gifs to work here but in lieu of that, I’ll just type out the lead-up. In a word…

I’m wary about starting anything else, but @evanphx.dev tells me people get as heated here about the NYT Spelling Bee as I do and that is something I’ve been missing for months now, so:
