It’s 3/21 — #WorldDownSyndromeDay. My two year old son Winchester has Down syndrome. Here he is trying to set the cat on fire.
And here is having snuck into a stroller to find a quiet place to read a book. He only knows a few words and doesn’t know his alphabet yet, but he loves books.
“Special” is sometimes used derogatorily, but special is just a really good word for him. Our older three kids act each day like they’ve never seen a baby before because there is just something so special about him. He has really blessed our family.
He brings joy to everyone. As a Christian, my goal is to be more like Winchester.

Hey, NYT, but when have we ever “trafficked in misinformation”? The link there does not assert anything like that. This is like slander — sorry, libel — casually thrown in for no reason. Why is it hard to believe people on the right want to make jokes and have no sinister motive?
From this article: nytimes.com/2021/03/19/tec…

BTW, Facebook has basically crushed our reach on their platform since about a week or so before the election. Following us on Facebook is pretty much useless as we’ll never come up in your feed.
Anyway, we know the NYTs view on things from this very real article about them: babylonbee.com/news/nyt-journ…

One thing I've noticed from Super Mario 3D All-Stars, is that only with Mario 64 can you tell at one glance it's an old game. For someone who lived from Atari to NES to SNES to N64, the last two decades feel stalled graphically.
I mean, you'd never mistake an NES game for an Atari game, or a SNES for an NES game. N64 was almost alien technology compared to the previous.
And I remember when you had to upgrade your computer every two years if you wanted to play the latest computer games. Then they started targeting consoles and you only had to upgrade when Sony decided it was time for next-gen.

Venus is way closer than Mars (on average), but we don't explore it as much because it's such a challenge to come up with a probe that could survive on it. I guess we should try harder.
I think if you do the math, on average, Mercury is the closest planet to any other planet in the solar system.
Here's a picture of the surface of Venus from a Soviet probe in the early 80s. That's about all we've got. We have better pictures of the surface of Titan, for pete's sake. Image

All the "there wouldn't be violence without cops!" people don't yet deserve to live in a civilized country. Send them someplace else and then they can come back when they're ready.
I think a lot of drastic things have to be done to change policing in this country, but the "abolish the police" children should not be a part of that discussion. They have nothing useful to add.
Some people are complete sociopaths when police commit violence, justifying it no matter what. Others are complete sociopaths when criminals commit violence so they can justify their “abolish police” nonsense. They’re basically the same sort of person.

Who wants a free copy of Superego: Fathom on Audible?

Just RT this tweet and I'll randomly pick five of you to get it for free. This deal is so good it almost violates TANSTAAFL.

audible.com/pd/B08H8Y1S3V/…
I hope everyone is enjoying Superego: Fathom. I envy you, getting to experience my writing for the first time. That is a memory you will cherish until the day you die.
Man, I hate marketing. I also hate giving things away for free. But you can profit from my pain.

Time to watch football unless they make us too mad and we decide not to watch football!
The time to express how much you hate America isn’t during a football game. You should do that during soccer games. I assume everyone who watches those are Communists anyway.
I hear they plan to interrupt the national anthem to make a plea for people to watch Cuties before judging it. Don’t think I care for that.
