Daughter made my wife and I dress up for dinner and made us this poke bowl and served it to us as if we were in a fancy restaurant. She is ten years old. Check out that presentation. I'm floored. It was DELICIOUS.

Why is wearing a mask a liberal/conservative thing? Why is wearing a mask a "don't tell me what to do" thing and not an "oh this will help save lives? I'm in" thing? You're not being asked to give up personal freedom. You're being asked to enable someone else's freedom to live.

I'm so confused. Why are so many #Pixel6 reviews calling out the placement of the power button above the volume rocker as being strange? It's literally the only way Pixels have ever been designed.

Today we buried my niece, Madison Blaser, or Maddie as we called her. She was a spirited 20 year old, coming into adulthood with a zest for life and deep love in her heart for her family and friends. I'm grateful for the time she spent with us in this lifetime. Love you Maddie.

Look, I do not want to have to say this about Google. But in light of the Stadia shutdown: Google has a BIG problem. Other companies kill things that don't work, and it doesn't become part of their identity quite like it has with Google. That's brand poison.

Getting old is what other people do. Then you start to realize that the other people are actually the people you've grown up with too. Then you are forced to realize that you are those people too. And that's when you can't help but see an older you in the mirror.
