ScalziSome brief thoughts on the Anthropic settlement, and why I think most authors should claim their share of the settlement if they can, inadequate though I think it is:

The Oatmeal
I always take Mr4 to the toilet before I go to bed, so he doesn’t wet his. Well. Tonight afterwards he decided he didn’t want night nappy or medicine, and had a half sleeping tantrum. Straight back to bed.
I’m going to be washing all his bedsheets tomorrow I think.
Also, I’m going for a personal record and going to bed NOW. 
Actually in five minutes from now. Because I need to close windows and turn off lights. But you get the idea.
T minus 3 days before I start thinking about planning for this years classes.
Tonight’s happy meal toys were super Mario themed. Mr4 makes his, and works out how they work. I come back after a minute or two of cleaning and he tells me that he’s made a movie (really it’s an improvised puppet show, but whatever, I’m not, like, a drama teacher or anything) and he’s called it…
The Death of Theatre
I can’t wait to teach him about Theatre of Cruelty and Theatre of the Oppressed.
I love my little fam, but does anyone else sometimes feel like they need to vanish into a cave and be a hermit? I think that’s why I keep staying up so damn late atm. It’s 1am. Time for bed, little Duck.
I need to vent my deep #frustration about trying to setup my #Orbi mesh network and getting my #Sonos running on it. Deep. Frustration.
One year old took an hour and a half to put to bed tonight. Utterly draining for my poor wife who had duty tonight whilst I was on the older boy. He just didn’t get a proper nap today, and has some teeth movement. I hope he doesn’t have a belly ache like last night.
