At the amazon community meeting about drone delivery in Marlborough. Jack was very excited to see the drone so we had to pop by.

Living in the Boston media market is weird since we get out of state political ads. I’m aware of the major office holders in New Hampshire which I learned about against my will

I know he’s not going to win it, but Luzardo needs some Cy Young votes.

Having a discussion as to why my 7 year old can’t have an Amazon developer account. He wants to add a weather channel he made with AI to the Amazon fire tv. He’s too advanced

I just saw an ad for back to school shopping. My son just finished school last week, can we have time to enjoy the summer before we think about going back?

Whoever is trying to make James Corden a thing again needs to stop. Why is he hosting anything again after we rejected him the first time? Was anyone else busy?

The MA progressives are running a commercial about chronic reelection disorder targeting Ed Markey. I would agree if the option against him wasn’t Seth Moulton. Seth Moulton sucks and I’d gladly vote for Markey against him

I was leaving the Home Depot in Auburn MA and saw a guy with a “teach your kids to change their oil not their gender” hoodie and had to talk myself out of saying something. I definitely would have given him the attention he wanted and gotten my ass kicked.

CNN was interviewing a couple of missionaries who refuse to leave Erbil and just mentioned they are Americans without mentioning they are zealots. The guy was wearing a “let us worship” hoodie and showed his whole ass though

Walked my kid to school today since I didn’t want to take the chance of driving on the refrozen roads. While walking down the sidewalk near Worcester Academy they just decided to stop clearing the sidewalk leaving a mountain for kids to navigate. Cool shit

I’m wondering if I’m having a mid life crisis or just a regular existential because of *gestures vaguely towards the state of the world*

I was listening dying fetus and I Donny know how you can take yourself seriously when you play in a band with a purposely offensive name that does death metal. Like you have to know that it’s a bit to some extent

I want to give a big shout out to RFK Jr because even though I got a flu shot I still have the flu and feel like dog shit.

There is a two hour delay for school opening today (10 am) as of right now (almost 9:30 am) the roads are a skating rink. They haven’t treated the roads in this neighborhood for the past few storms but this seems like negligence when people have to go to work.

When my mother in law offers me food, I always say yes. Not because I’m a good son in law, but because I have a policy of not turning down free food. Even if she uses way too much salt in most everything.

I know enough Spanish to say to my neighbor that I don’t speak Spanish that well, so I guess that’s a good thing.

Fucked around and taught myself how to poach eggs this morning. Also made a runny hollandaise to go with it for my wife’s breakfast.

There is a car parked across the street from the house I live in that has unhoused drug addicts in it. They are frequenting an abandoned house down the block for drug activities and stole packages from our porch. I’m not particularly mad about the packages (we got replacements), I’m more mad that

I’m thinking of making a list of music for my 6 year old to listen to when he gets older, like high school age. One album on the list would be OK Computer by Radiohead. He’s very into technology and it presents a very late 90s version of the anxiety of the coming year tech.

As someone who is allergic to cats and avoided them for 40+ years it is interesting to be learning about what set it off in real time.

My wife and were flying to Atlanta from Newark. As the gate agent saw where we were flying said: “Atlanta? You gotta watch out. There’s a lot of undercover brothers there.” We now reference that whenever we see Atlanta listed anywhere

This is Ruggles. One of our neighbors found him in her yard covered in fleas. It’s been two days and he has grown a bit. I’m allergic to cats but it will be hard to give this one up.

It’s good to see Meghan Trainor has reached the be in a State Farm commercial part of her career. One last gasp to be a thing since people be seem to catching the fact her music sucks

I think Calvinism is BS but I do agree with it in a sense. I do think that people who have the cilantro tastes like soap gene are not the elect and will not get to heaven.

A very cool visitor came into the yard today.

Just discovered that Rick Astley and a band called Blossoms did a few concerts of Smiths songs. It’s good to see a non problematic person sing these songs.

I know it’s hacky to say how smart you kid is, but my kid is. Yesterday he set up his own google voice account using my phone number (which he memorized) so he can call us. He called me today at the office just to say hi. I love my weird little guy

There is a helicopter circling downtown right now. This was taken from chandler st heading towards Kelley Square. I wonder if it’s there to monitor a potential crowd for the council meeting.

I don’t like being in the office and not spending time with him but at least he knows how to use Microsoft teams so we can chat.

This is a dog shit take. Nobody is telling you men or boys “you’re bad”. Facing repercussions for shitty behavior doesn’t necessarily make a person bad. My 6 year old does less than good stuff sometimes and I don’t tell him he’s bad. I tell him he’s the best buddy and that he can correct himself

A dog shit take by a person who needs to talk to his kids more about their behavior and actually parent.

Me (with no prior context): What do you think of the name “the Bob Geldof Center for Performative Activism”? @phdinprogress17.bsky.social: Oh, its going to be one of those days.

Mel Kiper being mad over where Shadeur Sanders being drafted is hilarious. Talking about how the nfl can’t evaluate qbs, when he’s overrated some of the biggest bums like Brady Quinn.

I’m really curious to find out where the people who run the liquor store by stop and shop on Grafton road are from (I think they are Greek). But it’s not a good look for someone who looks like me to ask people where they are from or where they are “really” from.

This has to be one of the most random beer combos I’ve ever seen.

A can of Harpoon x College of the Holy Cross hazy IPA. I’m a bit annoyed the beer name doesn’t reference the college or the mascot like “College Hill Hazy” (the college is on college hill here in Worcester).
