It's not that the wingers are doing the coolest shit in the world, it's that they're doing it with 2-3 other guys crashing the box instead of just a lone striker, so it's a lot harder to send help. And a lot easier to counterattack. This is the way.

Six-year-old: “Daddy why can’t you just code something to do all of your work for you???” Nine-year-old: “If the computer did all the work how would daddy make any money?” Economists ain’t got nothin’ on my kids.

I have thoughts on this matter! Shooters are more fun on a console. Dual stick controls are by far more intuitive. But part of what makes them more fun is the lack of precision. Problem is that some people only have fun if they’re try-hard maxxing which…

In today’s chronicles of Mike is old. I am watching the new American Gladiators on Prime with the kids (it’s terrible fwiw) and all the contestants keep saying they were fans of the show as a kid…. And they mean the 2008 version.

So what I gather is dude tried extreme ineffectually to kill the president and the president said “this is why I need my ballroom” and yup that seems to be an accurate encapsulation of where the country is.

This whole thing is so dumb because it just pretend politics doesn’t exist. It would be good for democrats (as humans on earth) if the straight of Hormuz opened, obviously they should not concede that that’s a “win” for Trump. [contains quote post or…

Parenthood is getting edits from your spouse on your tooth fairy note to ensure it upholds in-universe consistency like you’re married to Dave fucking Filoni. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

First night of mom being away and nine-year-old loses a tooth which would be fine except kid has long-running correspondence with her tooth fairy Lola which I am not privy to and Lola’s hand writing is, uh, distinctly not mine.

Chelsea grand plan of buying a whole bunch of kids and slotting them interchangeably in a robust, consistent, long-lasting style of play has had the done problem since they hired (and fired) Graham Potter. Any manager good enough to implement such a plan…
