Writing a parenting book, Algorithmic Parenting. Or Parenting by Algorithm. Can’t decide which is the best terrible title.

1. Putting the short urinal in between the tall ones instead of at the end.
2. “It’s Okay To Be A White Muslim” signs. I would love to read the comments of the news article/reddit posts for people finding these at their college doors. Right now fake accounts/bots are terrorizing the comments sections and up/down votes for articles on “It’s Okay To Be White” signs. I wanna flip their argument that these signs are straight up innocent and non-provocative.

A Star Trek movie set in the TOS mirror universe, starring George Takei as mirror universe Sulu as an Admiral. The antagonist is mirror universe Kirk, who has spent the last 40 years in a secure psychiatric prison and is still yelling "YOU WANT POWER?! I CAN GIVE YOU POWER!!!". Kirk breaks out and comes after Sulu because he figures that Sulu was the mastermind behind him getting incarcerated and it was all part of a long game plan to gain control of the Empire. And then things happen. Gimme a break I only thought of this five minutes ago...

A while ago I was toying with the idea of starting a thread called "did you even read the article?" in which I would document a year spent replying at random to comments on articles shared on Facebook with the single post "did you even read the article?"

Last night I conceived a sort of "parking porn" blog or instagram account called "Good Parking," where people submit pictures whenever they find a really good parking space. Sometimes it would be obvious why the parking was good, e.g. you'd be able to see the strip mall storefronts in the shot just steps away from the car, but in other cases it would just be a picture of a car in a street parking spot with the caption "Two blocks from metropolitan museum of art on a Saturday" or something like that.

seems like it could catch on as a pointless but mildly amusing hashtag-type idea rather than a blog but maybe the instagram helps get the hashtag going. i would say #powerofpositiveparking but that just revives my frustrations from Let's help each other identify books we dimly remember reading as kids

if doing something that causes discomfort to one being (the cat in this case) also brings joy to literally everyone else, is it worth doing? is there some sort of decision-point tradeoff line? if it only brings joy to 5 people but discomfort to 1, is it less defensible than it brought joy to 5000? just want to have my arguments ready in case i'm ever discussing this with my cat

I apologized to my cat aloud after I had the idea because I felt he could sense my inner cruelty

for cats this product might find a market. suggest the same for dogs and you'd be chased out of the country. i think i have found my cause.

chickens would dance if they had even 1% of the raw ability of cats. but they don't have it. and you do. < another talking point for the pep talk
