Safe and sound. Predictably, my son is now taking his stress out on me. This is what I live for. #parenting

First time listening to live SCOTUS because banning gestation crates for pigs is something I know enough about to follow argument. And I can confirm that Clarence Thomas questions are useless. bit.ly/3rIjgpb

Gorsuch just made SCOTUS relevant again. His questioning shows how Calif. is leading on animal rights the same way individual states took a leadership position to ban slavery 100 years ago.

Is it autistic that I can’t stop listening to SCOTUS live? I have to stop myself from wanting to get a law degree. Maybe instead of a law degree I could have a SCOTUS podcast. The only way I learn anything for real is pontificating about it.

Science uncovers feminist BS: “Women are not competitive, but they advise other women to be competitive.” bit.ly/3CS53wf This starts with women who teach grade school telling girls to be leaders and it ends with Sheryl Sandburg telling women to lean in then she quits.

The dueling strip clubs next to my building this morning. Has there ever been a better placement of the American flag?

I looked up and and saw the window washer and felt like I was living between the pages of Curious George Gets a Job. Then I remembered the building out an email: “Feel free to tag us in pictures today!!!” Even window washing is a complicated job in the age of social media.

My mom sent her itinerary today : “11/23 Melbourne, site of recent mass flooding. 11/29 Brisbane where riverside docks washed away. 12/02 Port Douglas via Cairns where there is a jellyfish infestation. 12/05 Sydney where a Carnival cruise line just unloaded 800 Covid cases.”

I've been saying categorically no to podcasts because I don't even have enough time to tell my kids they suck at managing their time. But I said yes to this podcast. I knew it would be fun. bit.ly/3Vd29b4

My 17yo son is playing Valorant on the N. America server: Kids realize before the game that they're all Jewish or Muslim. I love hearing their excitement to find each other. It spreads fast and every waiting room I overhear Jews and Muslims glad to have each other on Christmas.

In New Orleans for Carnival. Outside our hotel room window is a Mardi Gras wedding. I never dreamed of getting married again until I saw this scene.

Best way to get floor level seats at NBA: Pelicans game during Carnival

I worried New Orleans would be drunken bar hopping. But it turns out locals take costuming way too seriously to do it drunk, and we fit in just fine.

Downtown Boston. All our ears popped at the same time for no apparent reason. Anyone else?
