4yo: daddy, why only grown ups know passwords?

If you haven’t posted your personal opinion on generative AI yet how will everyone know you’re still relevant?

I can't believe I paid for @Sportsnet . The app going black, not coming back from commercials was tolerable. Now for 2 days it can't restore my purchase on Apple TV and the iOS app crashes trying to watch something.

@Chris242206 @SpeakerMcCarthy Don't tell me what I want!

@markthiessen wants @SpeakerMcCarthy to negotiate the debt limit with Biden for classified documents! NO Mr Thiessen! 1. The Democrats are already on board to get the documents. 2. We are in a fiscal crisis. We MUST fight for spending cuts before upping the debt ceiling NOW

3yo: where is the Avenger’s house? Me: the Avenger’s aren’t real 3yo: are giraffes real?

@Richardegleston @kegill @washingtonpost @nytimes I don’t even have opinions!

@markthiessen @kegill @washingtonpost @nytimes I know @markthiessen. He is NOT a lawyer!

The @washingtonpost has turned into the @nytimes RE insanely headlined (and published) op-eds. No. It’s. Not. No amount of GOP spin can make it so. Especially from a guy who claims waterboarding isn’t torture like @markthiessen And who is NOT a lawyer.

Jenga but with dishes drying on the rack.

Ever get in the zone and forget to drink coffee? Literally the worst.

my life is dope and I make dope sandwiches

@jtrebach Curious if this is just for snakes or applies to bears and wildcats too. Please advise.

i can’t believe this needs to be said but if ur bit by a snake PLEASE don’t bring the snake to the ER with u

Even after almost 17 years, I sometimes feel like I didn't make progress without coding. This is how feelings lie to us. Figuring out the right thing to do is an order of magnitude more important and should feel like progress, but sometimes it doesn't.

When I put my Hyundai in sport mode I wonder if this is how Lamborghini drivers feel all the time

I just want to be the type of guy that has cool shirts under my other shirts.

@ferbadano The other 20% is putting on shoes.

80% of parenting is convincing a young human that the floor is in fact NOT lava and that using cushions as a lava bridge to get ready for school is not needed. #parenting

@ferbadano Bear country

Tell me in which country you are in without telling me in which country you are in

@sdunn_dev @shanselman It’s also mouthwash.

My wife and I have had this fun thing when one of us is proving the other wrong, we say “I stand corrected” which is the opposite of what we mean and is shorthand for “f u you dummy.” She said my shampoo is also body wash and texted from store. Looks like we are both right lol

3yo: Why you don’t have a water bottle like mine? 6yo: I did but I broke it when I was a baby. 3yo: Because you have strong hands?

Just came across some slides from an old talk I did on instrumentation with some monkey island screenshots throughout. No regrets.
