It rained earlier today. Our house backs up to a nature preserve with dirt trails running through it. 11yo’s friend came over and suggested they go play at the park, which coincidentally is at one of those trail heads.
Anyway 11yo is taking a shower and I’m pressure washing some sandals right now after cleaning the other kid’s scooter.

Hoping to give custodial parents child support faster after a divorce, the Justice Ministry announced a support allowance of ¥20,000 per month, per child, to serve as a stopgap until a financial arrangement is reached. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/28/japan/society/statutory-child-support/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #children #parenthood #divorce #justiceministry

14yo: You’re legally required to clothe me.

Parasocial
"Parasocial" is the Cambridge Dictionary's Word of the Year for 2025, defined as: involving or relating to a connection that someone feels between themselves and a famous person they do not know, a character in a book, film, TV series, etc., or an artificial intelligence I was somewhat familiar. I didn't clock a big uptick in the usage in the typical discourse. Of course, I have talked quite a bit about the problems of people falling into parasocial dynamics with AI. Photo by Lucas […]
I have learned more about Notker the Stammerer and Machiavelli in the past 30 minutes than I ever wanted to know, but the kid has talked out their essay and figured out how to finish it.
It's got an essay about how #cybernetics overlaps with #parenthood (not the show, the actual experience): https://smirklord.bearblog.dev/on-steering/
Kickstarter is funded!!! Thank yooooou!!
