Thank you for sharing that sweet story. For all the insanity, business, etc of having children, it does wonders for clearing up a lot of cynicism. Hard to just give up and believe that nothing can get better when there's a part of you out there in the world that will grow up to deal with it.
I also have a Sam about the same age who gets mad when called anything but his own name ("I'm not Sambo Hambo!")
While his evil may be a little more subtle, let's not let Jeffery Garten off the hook. The guy is basically the neo-liberal ideal of imposing austerity politics on foreign countries. The guys was head of sovereign debt restructuring for Lehman Brothers for Christ's sake!
His books are the most blinded series of paeans to globalization you could hope to read, never any mention of the exploitation and corruption inherent in this modern for of of colonialism. As the head of Yale's business school and multiple stints in various Democrat and Republican administrations, he's the kind of guy who helps keep the wheel of global capital greased for the good ol' USofA!
Listen, man, I don't have an art department over here. Also I thought it was funny that I put in "a pioneer woman cooking" and it spit out a stacked redhead with zero further guidance. Clearly learning from anime.
I don't know where else to put my one Food Network thought but here: I'm more in the competition show corner of that network (it's great for half-watching during meals!), and it's funny how hard they've gone in on Chef Eric Adjepong (who, to be fair, is handsome and charming and a good host/judge with a magnificent beard) post-summer of 2020.
But yeah, the cosplay of all the Food Network women is something. Did Sandra Lee ever mention her husband when she was making Kwanzaa Cake?

"God what a dumb baby"
To butcher a Simpsons quote, dumb babies need the most love.

I sort of half remembered something about this, but didn't want to get off track or get myself murdered by Garten fans. Thank you for this though!
Good article, but, ugh, that AI “art”.

You can paint pictures with your words, Vince! Instead of reminding us that when we're old and frail, the world will be run by weeb robots.
