like, this isn’t even an “AI could create that much value” versus “no it can’t” argument - let’s grant the premise, let’s say it does in that world, with these people in charge, unemployment and poverty explode and no safety net is built to handle it

My beautiful perfect son is still mildly ill and wanted to spend all night snuggling and nursing which I'm sure was really great for him but man I need a nap.

I will accept "turning the page" if the next page says "and then many people went to jail"

Overall trend. Touching grass is winning. Combined use of social media, gaming, and streaming is down by more than 1.5 hours a day for this class compared to 2024. Netflix & HBO Max taking big hits.

I don't plan to run, mind. God forbid. I'll push a stroller near the back of the pack and be rewarded with pancakes after.

I have been invited to participate in a Turkey Trot and I have signed up before my good judgment could intervene and talk me out of it.

Not only is there a pretty good neighborhood deli right next to daycare, there's also the Wednesday farmer's market where one vendor makes the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had in my life.

They don't tell you about daycare that not only do you have to budget for the daycare cost, you have to budget for the breakfast sandwiches on the way back from drop off

I have lots of good tips for communal living situations but the main one is if you find yourself thinking “someone should do x” you better have a pretty good reason why you are not someone

Today for work I am looking through our client photos and searching for the woman with the sunniest smile. Not a bad way to spend Monday afternoon.

We went to the Ren Faire today despite the nasty weather and still had a blast. Margot got excited when one of the audience participation lines in a song was “CHEESE,” which is one of the words she knows best

this leaves us with the question of what we call Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. I think we have a lot of options here: - minor planets - dwarf planets - failed planets - wannabe planets - tryhard planets - moons, but for the sun - and my personal favorite: "metals"

thinking through how many diapers to pack for the renaissance faire. It’s hard because you have to consider all the possibilities. Like what if we get transported back to the actual renaissance. Or what if my son just poops a lot.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

This article made me really aware of how much the written word structures my thoughts. The other day I was thinking through a baby problem and found myself making an outline in my head

We did the curry pot pie a few weeks ago and I would recommend it!

I’m adding that to my lexicon immediately. Katie, did you eat that whole pint of ice cream? The lord told me it’s flat none of your business! Why haven’t you folded that laundry yet? The LORD told me…

Finally reading Jesus and John Wayne and so far my favorite part is the televangelist who, caught with a prostitute for a second time, told his congregation “the Lord told me it’s flat none of your business“

I have plenty of annoying work tasks in my job I'd be happy to automate, but it's not like doing so gets me that time back. And if it did get me time back probably that time would come in the form of unemployment if my company decided they didn't need me after all.

But like... the thing that makes that fantasy appealing is the idea that 1) the report will be accurate enough to pass on without significant review on my part, and also 2) I don't get fired due to automating away my own job.

I was giving this some real thought - what ad would make me feel more warmly about AI? And it'd be something like "Hey boss, the AI finished that report, I'm gonna log off early and spend time with my kid."
