I feel the need to say the obvious: People with enough power (wealth, influence, etc.) to see the rules of the world as not applying to them, because they have the means to avoid the consequences of breaking the rules, should not be allowed to have that much power.

I want to be like you when I grow up.

This is adorable, thank you for sharing!
And when your dream of a ginkgo tree finally comes true, be sure to get a male tree, not female. The female trees bear fruit that smells like vomit. 😬

If you don’t want it, I’ll take it. 😉

Good for *what* precisely? Depending on the answer, I’d say many many decades. 😉

An Aussie labradoodle with apricot color fur and nose, wearing a little neck tie with a fruit pattern, looks up and to the right past the camera with his big shining puppy dog eyes.

He’s arguably gotten more adorable with time.

This is a pic of my doodle, Neville, when he first came home to us at 2 months old in December, 2019.

This is so unbelievably cool 🤯

…I also want to say 25 yrs older for similar reasons: I have stories and questions enough to start conversations, I have a lot to learn from their life experience, and I enjoy being self-deprecating about my lack of mastery.

I want to say 25 years younger, because I teach undergrads—I’m used to them. I have stories enough to make conversation, but am divorced enough from emerging/pop culture to have a lot to learn about the generation that will take over, and I have fun being self-deprecating about my age. BUT…

Jumping on the “Age yourself with your first computer” bandwagon.

I wonder what an episode on the 20 best fonts worth their price tag would list? 🤔

Sounds like a feature to disable.

I almost said yes to purchasing a Chandler & Price last Thursday, when I remembered those same considerations.

Your in-laws are not only making it harder on you, but also on themselves. #unbanthebooks

Ok, finally going to post here… and it’s a doodle from a meetup I went to with amazing people at JSMA PSU. This brought me joy, so I consider it relevant.

The Beowulf of film? 🤔

When I decided Comic Sans and Papyrus are good fonts, and it’s users who suck.

If I asked my spouse, who’s a public librarian, she’d probably say something boring like, “let him read manga, at least he’s reading.”

1. Tell him the western comics are the worst and put them in a box to “get rid of.” 2. Tell him [insert favorite influencer] wrote a rave review about them. 3. Give the comics to his friends and see if they’ll reach his orbit through another channel.

I believe this cover script is the earliest recorded use of “OMG” in the sense that we now use it. Note the condensed O, the extended M, and condensed g as a way to indicate inflection. 😉

I feel like “rarely used but fun to make” describes almost all of my work.

Neat! I’m not sure what the brief is, but what about a QU?
