Daughter (14) asked me how old I thought Jenna Davis (her favorite-singer-at-the-moment) was while she was showing me three or ten of her music videos. I was pretty close. I guessed 19, she's 22. She says, "Yeah, but she looks pretty good for her age."

"He's not a billionaire! Let's all laugh and spit on him!" "Hi, I'm the billionaire's assistant here with his money bags." "He actually IS a billionaire! We were wrong/" "Wait! He probably had a no good friend dress up as his assistant!" "Yes, that's it! What a trash person, spit on him again!"

Sorry for not being very talkative lately. Finally got completely distracted watching this Facebook reel about a billionaire but no one believed he was a billionaire. He almost proved it but then everyone went back to thinking he was lying. Had me on the edge of my seat.

I think I cracked the code for viral social media videos: 1. Main character is something 2. Everyone insists that character is not that something 3. MC proves they are that something 4. Everyone is awed, but then insists MC is not that something 5. GOTO 3 6. ??? 7. Monetize! I'm gonna be rich.

Facebook reminded me of this moment, four years ago today. On that day, told the restaurant server that I would take my food, and her, home tonight. She didn't react in any way because she was step-daughter and didn't drive yet. But to anyone that overheard that out of context, yikes.

update: I somehow survived the popcorn kernel incident. I'm still certain it was intentional. Apparently Orville Redenbacher, the source of my significant discomfort, died in 1995. So I hold his children and/or grandchildren accountable for my life-changing coughing fit.

Chris Cox @cybercox.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Well, pretty sure I'm done for. Four decades of living and I'm pretty sure this popcorn kernel is going to do me in. What an inglorious way to go. So if anyone could please take revenge on orville redenbacher and/or his kin, I'd appreciate it.

If I ever see someone rushing through the city, carrying an implausible number of rolled-up blueprints, I'm going to be nice to them. Statistically, they're either going to become a superhero, a supervillain, or some other sort of main character. Whatever the case, blueprints seem to be the key.

I really appreciate any help and ideas here. And while I'm happy to have awesome friends, I also know my friends have awesome friends- so please share this with them for reach. Thank you <3

Can you juggle? Awesome, people love jugglers. Ever pursued a world record? So cool, let's record the attempt. Can you throw a football over them mountains like Uncle Rico? We'll take that too. Whatever you can do, please let me know and let's make something awesome together.

Do you have a skill or talent that might keep viewers interested between fundraising appeals? Anything that would entertain the viewers would help us raise funds to help survivors escape and stay safe after they do.

Chris Cox @cybercox.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

If it's successful, we'll raise urgently-needed funds for DV survivors, safe houses / shelters, and other life-saving operations. It's a great cause, which is why I'm here asking for help. It's important.

Friends (and friends of friends), I need help. I'm hosting a fundraiser event for Operation Operation Safe Escape (the anti-domestic violence charity I run); it's a three hour telethon to be held on May 23rd, kind of in the style of Jerry Lewis but updated for modern attention spans.

I just found out that Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards. Like, I just found this out yesterday, despite living this whole life and everything. And I only found it out because someone pointed out how obvious it was.

I have mixed feelings about whoever slipped the weekly world news into his press briefings. I know he doesn't read the articles, but clearly the headlines are enough for the guy.

Today I learned that the People's Temple cult (led by Jim Jones) actually drank grape Flavor Aid, not Kool-aid as commonly believed. I'm going to start saying "drank the Flavor Aid" to be historically accurate.

During a @safeescape.org meeting, I reminded the team that we are not legally required to report immigration status for anyone we're helping. And we sure as hell don't do it voluntarily either. One said, "didn't occur to me to ask, but I wouldn't anyway." I'm sitting here, very proud of them.

Trent Reznor, the man I am currently watching tear up the stage and electrify a crowd is 60 years old. I got winded walking up the stairs to the venue. I need to be more like Trent.

My son just blew my mind. He pointed out that this was the only main character that had immediate family left. The lack of subtitles was a... Choice. But maybe choksing Chewbacca's family was the one that made the most sense at the time?

Why did we get away from see-through electronics, anyway? That was literally my first landline, which I bought with money from my paper route. That's a very old fashioned sentence.
