My folks are at the @abdulelsayed.bsky.social rally in Cadillac, MI this morning. 800+ over capacity crowd in what is usually solidly Trump county Up North. I think this guy might just have the juice.

Saturday at the Durham Farmers Market, watching the kid go down the slide, Sylvan Esso DJ set pulsing away in the background. Pretty nice day!

I don't normally share pics of my kids, but exceptions shall be made for the first day of school. E, age 4.5, first day of Pre-K, last first day at the daycare he's been at since he was 9 months old 🥹 Yay Learning!

Just put both kids (4.5 years and 11 months) down to sleep solo for the first time while Mom is having a movie night with a friend for once. Celebrating the win with the only beer I have the time or energy to shop for anymore. Happy Friday, all.

Seeing Wilco for the first time since 2019 (and live music for the first time since 2021) tonight! Not a bad seat in the house at DPAC, which is good because we're about as high up in the balcony as you can get. Anyhow, yay for parents actually getting a night out on the town!

Some in life get blessed with galltstones. Others, kidney stones. I'm apparently in the elite few to experience both (not at the same time, good Lord)

Four year old handed me this on the way out the door this morning: "Here Daddy, you might need a drink in the car in case you get thirsty driving on the highway." ❤️

CPAP orientation, day after Christmas. Feels like I unlocked the middle aged version of Brick by Ben Folds Five.

My wife got me my "holy grail" record for my 40th birthday. Pure Sounds of Michigan, an ambient complication commissioned by the state tourism board featuring field recordings from the state. Only pressed on vinyl for promotional purposes, not for individual sale. I'm a lucky guy indeed.

It's strangely reassuring that while planning his mayoral transition, Mamdani is probably taking time out once a week to watch The Chair Company.

Friday off, big kid at daycare, little kid on errands with mom, and the backyard isn't too buggy to enjoy the hammock for once. Sweet, rare, blessed me time. I can scarcely believe it.

This kind of squares with the idea that the weird MAGA guy who owns Steak and Shake and has shares of Cracker Barrel had something to do with it, yeah?

Because I shared them on FB/IG today, and I love them so much, professional family photos of my boys ❤️ Been a family of four for a month now, and it's been a lot of learning, but also a lot of love.

Didn't occur to me until I saw this iconic shot again, but ... they're definitely trying for this look with Domhnall Gleeson on The Paper? Or more accurately, a dork who really wants to have this look?

Damned if I'm not still a sucker every time for a conceptual hook like this from @themountaingoats.bsky.social youtu.be/sqMWZd5qmUc?...

“There were sixteen men on a fishing boat but only three survived the storm, and one of those went missing, and is presumed dead. That leaves me & Peter Balkan, whose health is failing as his apocalyptic visions dissipate in the spray at the shore. The Mountain Goats are proud to announce Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan, a story of momentary visions away from the world, due 7 November 2025 on Cadmean Dawn records: our own label!

Like, I agree the new Cracker Barrel interior sucks, but it also looks like every tradwife influencer's kitchen, so I don't know what these MAGA chuds are so upset about.

Baby arrival delayed from Tuesday to Thursday. Little guy won't turn head down, so we're gonna try and turn him and hopefully avoid a C-section. Anyhow! Passing the time at the local bounce emporium with the kid. Ball pits are definitely a sensory thing for me.

Kid wanted to bring Orange Bird to play with at church this morning. Felt like for all the time Orange Bird spent with Anita Bryant in the 70s, the poor little guy could use clarification on a few things in an open and affirming congregation.

Morning off work for some appointments, and also apparently Play-Doh bonanza with the kid.
