I put up a job listing for a “Ninja rock star” but programmers keep applying. No I'm literally looking for a silent assassin who can shred.

Having a puppy is like having anothe baby. A baby that eats cigarette butts off the ground and thinks people riding bikes are terrorists.

When you have a kid the only bandaids in the house are Pokémon branded. Which you complain about but secretly think is cool.

My kid has spent the summer swimming in chlorinated pools and her hair is now an impenetrable thicket of brambles. I’m considering just shaving it off while she sleeps. I’m sure she will thank me later.

I wrote about how to get started with hand-drawn animation as a complete beginner. Read about how to find the time, what tools to use, where to get inspiration. medium.com/@colbay/a-day-in-… #100dayproject #100daysofsupershort #animation

My kid got this rubber cat-ducky and she affectionately named it “cuck”. I’m not even sure how to begin explaining this one.

Since July 4th, I have received many tweets from the gun lobby accusing me of exploiting Jaime. Below are two pictures of how I used to spend time her and one picture of how I do it now. If anyone has a problem with me fighting for her and the safety of other kids, too bad.

I overheard some kids that had to be 10 years old talking about how good their were at Fornite. Then I realized these little shits have probably killed me and I feel like a 1000 years old.
