Apparently, according to a handful of CPC MPs, PP is the bringer of darkness, hiding our bright and shining PM, but will only last about an hour. Also, do not look directly at PP, lest you suffer long-term vision damage. What a public service announcement this is.

Me: *Sleeping on the floor beside my 3yo's bed while she battles a stomach flu*
3yo: Daddy? I love you.
Me: Aww, I love you too.
3yo: Daddy?
Me: Yes, honey?
3yo: Chicken butt.
Even in the depths of hell, she's forever trying to keep it light.

Today, having finished a review for one of their journals, Elsevier sent me an email asking me to review the *review process*. I suppose that because this particular journal pays an honorarium, they felt obliged to have me to do /something/ for free.

Anyone who attempts to reason about anything complex is using *some kind of model*. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.
The only question is whether you understand your own (implicit) model or not.

If you think any econometric model can adequately capture the complexities of that issue, you're deluding yourself (and the punters)

In my view, the sunshine list has long outlived its use, and now serves only as a means for rage farming and deflection by dishonest politicians. Of course it balloons every damn year by virtue of inflation. They use it to justify budget cuts, but if you account for inflation...

'fatcats' we need to rage against is ludicrous. Either move the fucking benchmark like we do with our tax brackets, or get rid of it altogether. And shame on @TorontoStar for titling their article this way, as if this record should be surprising after a year of record inflation.

In the futile attempt to get the Bean to eat vegetables,I can't help but recall last month where she wanted to eat a lemon slice and she did it gladly---peel, rind, and all.

A Canadian culinary icon who inspired some of my early interest in cooking. Mum always had Jean's books around, and I used to flip through them as a kid to marvel at her seemingly endless ideas. Even the coil bindings kept the home chef in mind. nytimes.com/2023/01/09/dininβ¦

So, the Bean turns down a very kid friendly chicken pot pie yesterday, and my thought is that today's Xinjiang lamb with a metric tonne of cumin and Sichuan peppercorns is an absolute no-go.
The Bean, after one bite, literally replicating this meme:
