This Ought to Be a Punishable Offense

You’re doing a great job paying off your debt! Have you considered “lowering” your stress with…MORE DEBT?!

GenAI Is Worse Than Soulless

Writing and art created by LLMs has taken us to a stretch of the uncanny valley so deep I’m starting to worry about ender dragons. It’s not just soulless, it’s worse than soulless, because it’s made to imitate having a soul but doesn’t quite make it.

Modern AIs have artificial souls. Substitute souls. They’re the astroturf of art; the margarine of human thought and creativity.

No wonder they’re literally driving people insane.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: put a stop to it!

The Golden Rule of Self-Care

When you’re suffering, drained, or otherwise in need, imagine your best friend going through the same struggle.

What would you do for them? How would you help? What advice would you give?

Then, do that for yourself. Because you deserve care, too.

“Care unto yourself as you would care unto others.”

C’mon Trike, that’s just mean. At least wait until after I’ve left for work…

She Likes Vehicles

My spouse: “Hey sweetie, you get to dress up as your favorite Christmas character for school tomorrow. What do you want to go as?”

My 8yo (confused): “Christmas character?”

Me: “Yeah, like Santa or the Grinch.”

Spouse: “Or you could dress like one of the characters from The Polar Express.”

(The Polar Express is the kids’ favorite Christmas movie)

8yo (thinking): “…I want to be the train.”

Office Problems, pt. III

These signs showed up in every bathroom in the building a little while ago. Who the heck has been standing on the toilets??

A toilet stall with a sign on the wall saying "ATTENTION: please do not stand on toilets, or flush any type of trash." Above the text are two crossed-out pictograms demonstrating the forbidden acts.

Proud

My daughter: “Hey dad, want to hear a joke? It’s a pun.”

Me, responding to my love language: “Absolutely!”

Her: “What do you call a T-Rex that’s also a sword?”

Me: “I don’t know, what?”

Her: “A dino-sword.”

Me:
