I can't stop thinking about how, when you ask women what they would do if there were no men on earth, they say: take a walk at night

We recently introduced our 14yo to Matthew Sweet & turned her into a fan. One of my proudest moments as a parent. Girlfriend is a perfect album.

Our language has been completely warped by Big Tech's algorithms, from a generation that's grown up saying "unalive", to the way everyone's censored themselves talking about the Cornell rapists. It's time to fight back against billionaire control of free speech. www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/k...

👍 Good news: my daughters both found their outfits for homecoming on Depop and I didn't have to lift a finger. 👎 Bad news: After telling me weeks ago he didn't want a new outfit for homecoming, my son informed me YESTERDAY that he wants to get a suit. The dance is on October 10. Dude.

The second one, only because it had the strong visual. I prefer the first one though, and sprinkle it into conversation occasionally.

I first saw it at an OB/GYN appointment a year or two ago. I did feel like the doctor engaged with ME more (e.g. more eye contact) rather than staring at the computer while they took notes. This was my first time seeing it at our ped. The appointment was for my 17yo and he consented.

Over the last week I visited 3 high schools to pre-register 16 & 17yo students to vote. Data point: very few of them chose to affiliate themselves with *any* political party.

A thing to know about me is when I see inefficient systems I immediately start trying to figure out a solution. This served me well as a scientist but it’s not so great as a school/nonprofit volunteer who is often the only one interested in fixing said inefficient systems.
