I think starting with "leftover Orchis want to be mutants and also a sentinel factory" was one of the least inspiring starts to a new era of X-Men that anyone could have possibly imagined. Total flatline for me.

A challenge for X-Men that Krakoa delayed but did not eliminate is that it's difficult to tell new, interesting stories for mutants. That's especially true when you remix the familiar rather than creating something new and distinct. Remix X-books will always be on the low side of average, at best.

I have to say, I'm quite fond of being able to work from playground in the dead of winter while the kid clambers around. I was even visited by the official playground cat!

On one hand: Yes, but you created so much raw material that you can critique in this way or potentially improve. On the other hand: Maybe it's time to expand this initiative to a multi-day affair next year?

I think our kid has boked three times ever? But I am of the "get the bowl" generation, so she has heard me offer her a bowl many, many times while feeling ill without really understanding the the full practice of it.

The new liveplay season on Dropout, "Never Stop Blowing Up," is genuinely one of the funniest things I have seen in my life. It helps that the game system is as ludicrous as the setting. This might sound weird, but I'm so thankful that talented, funny people are being paid to make something so fun

Kinda wild that we're now past the halfway point of the year and Green Day still has my #2 record of 2024.
Always nice to see a long-standing band in fine form.

Unpopular fact: Most people who claim to want a viable 3rd party aren’t willing to put in any of the work at the local level to actually build a viable 3rd party from the grassroots up. Voting for a random presidential candidate once every four years isn’t going to do anything.

I got very emotional seeing her earlier this year. It had been decades since I had seen an elephant, and she was clearly having such a good time playing with one of her keepers.

The 10YO had her mid-year school disco last night and apparently they did not play ANY Chappell Roan. Have the children of NZ not been Roan-pilled yet? I will have to see if I can convert the kid over school break.

I had no idea you could possibly improve "Cruel Summer," but I've been addicted to this G Flip cover version for months and now I learned that it's a LIVE RECORDING and they PLAYS THE DRUMS THEMSELF?!
I am about to make this artist my whole personality.

ICMYI I wrote about the importance of being a citizen archivist. We've seen so much incredible art and writing from marginalized people, and we need to preserve it in the face of a huge, well-funded backlash.
This is something concrete you personally can do!

ugh, that is fucked. I hope he doesn't internalize it. And, if that's the kind of call this place would make, it might be a blessing to not be there for the long term (even though that's a hard blessing to see in the current job environment).

That's so awesome! My library in Wellington is the first one I've ever visited who had this scale of MAKER stuff. It's all in one tiny room, but it is just so awesome to see it there as an outlet for the community.

I've seen the murmurs! Based on everything she has ever said in public about her aspirations in life I truly cannot imagine it happening. But, I suppose she's the one person who absolutely could win and also has zero aspirations for 2028. (Personally, I'm against the idea of political dynasties.)

The list of candidates beyond VP Harris isn't long. Newsom, Whitmer, & Shapiro feel like 2028 potentials; all messaged in support of Biden. Surely KY Beshear, MD Moore, GA Warnock, CO Polis are contemplating 2028. OH Brown could have aspirations. MN Klobuchar usurping Harris would be awkward.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but I haven't seen writing about how the "Replace Biden" call is weak within the DEM party in part because likely suspects were planning for 2028 and are now weighing if they're willing to risk their political capital (to fail in the call or in the Election)

I see we're absolved from tipping you off about Chappell Roan 😂, which takes out my OBVIOUS best new track of 2024 ("Good Luck, Babe!").

Charter schools are almost always a scam. I've watched them fail to achieve their stated goals repeatedly in the US. Private schools exist to serve people with needs that can't or won't be served in the public school system, but the government shouldn't be handing out any tax breaks for using them

Yeah, I'm severely impacted too, Bryce. You have no idea what my experience was in the US and with schools there, why I came to NZ, my student's experience in NZ schools, or what I'll sacrifice to enable my student to be in a private school. You're just online to talk piss. Clearly.

Kinda in the Arts & Crafts category, but maybe some basic home science experiments? Just stuff you can do with kitchen materials. My now 10YO has always loved doing that stuff, and it becomes an EVENT that a whole day anchors around (especially if you plan to make something change color or explode)

At Moore Wilson's just now, the cashier admired my Trader Joe's grocery bags and asked how long I've been in NZ. "Coming up on 7 years," I told her. "Oh, well, you're a Kiwi then," she replied with a little smile. Readers, I cried out in the Moore Wilson's parking lot.

I am going to share this every month until people get the goddamned message, and agitate for better policy and infrastructure. It's estimated that we spend 80-90% of our time indoors, on average. Indoor spaces should be fit for purpose, especially when in-person attendance is mandatory/unavoidable.
