My kids learned ironic delivery overnight. It's very troubling.

Son last night, after I yelled at him to get dressed for bed: “Oh, certainly, ‘father.’”

Daughter this morning as I tried to put on my belt in the elevator: “Well, that's just amusing.”

Not this. Not like this.

I had my wisdom teeth out a few weeks ago and I keep flashing back to it—not because of the pain but because it was this hour when I had no responsibilities and couldn't use social media. Two people were touching me, I was high as hell, and I knew there'd be ice cream later.

A piece of software I thought about this weekend that I will never create:
1) Take the NYT and parse the meta tags to figure out different people in the stories.
2) Make a roguelike. As you explore rooms you can talk to/rob/hit those people.
3) As they die their stories pop up.

People were very nice after my son starting gushing blood out of a head wound at the park sprinklers today. Thank you for the paper towels and for looking away from me while I removed my undershirt to clean up all the blood. Everything was fine after the screaming. Head wounds!

Caught in Battery tunnel traffic on the bus for 40 mins, losing my patience, until I realized they're probably checking vehicles because of the women's soccer tickertape parade later today, at which pt I immediately thought, that's right, let me wait, keep our sweaty angels safe.

This new thing where you go to a website for some software as a service product you've never seen before, and the tab starts blinking, going "You have two new messages!" in some imaginary "inbox" is shameless garbage.
