A Letter To My Daughter On Father's Day: I Was Wrong About Bitcoin (Bitcoin Magazine)

This is an opinion editorial by Will Schoellkopf, author of “The Bitcoin Dog” and a soon-to-be father. I was a computer science student at UCLA when I first ...

Just remember, my daughter, if you do opt in to Bitcoin, there is literally no limit to your potential. While the pennies in your piggy bank will never stand a chance against inflation, you will be able to stack sats, and these simply can’t be inflated away. While I so keenly wish you could be born free, your career choices (as is the same for most young men and women in our society) remain locked in a cage by inflation. A smile beams across my face when — to my surprise — you struggle to reach your hand out and grab my nose! While I do want the best for you, I do not plan to hand it to you on a silver platter. While you have yet to be born, my heart is already warm with your love.

How to Make it a Productive and Exciting Father's Day (Entrepreneur)

Father's Day comes and goes every year. It's easy to get complacent and go to the card aisle at the local grocery store for a Father's Day gift and call...

Father's Day can be far more than just grilling with the family and a handmade card. Whatever your dad and his friends enjoy doing but rarely get the opportunity to do so should be your focus. But if they're open to something, it might just be what the group as a whole would most enjoy for the day. Set up a dad date if your dad is the social type but rarely has time for activities outside the home or workplace. Having the whole family agree to participate in an adventure, not in the regular routine, could be especially meaningful to your dad. But after all, it's one day a year, so just make sure the ladder is secure — and let him fiddle. From father-son lookalike contests to entries that require you to write about your dad's qualities, you can show off your dad in a public space. A wide variety of local contests can be a fun way to celebrate your dad. At the bare minimum, you can find that embarrassing family picture of your dad and share it with the world. But what if there was a way to make the day more memorable or productive for your dad? The trick to making your dad's Father's Day a little more special than usual is by doing something that's appreciated or unexpected. For example, Ace Hardware recently announced a contest in which the winner receives a custom-made pair of grilling shoes and a grill.

U.S. Open/Father's Day Combo Is Big Business For Golf Retail (Forbes)

Our customers aren’t thinking about and playing golf 24/7, and don’t want to spend $2,000 on a set of clubs,” said Stix Chief Marketing Officer Aaron Ormond. Take Stix Golf, which tripled revenue in its second year (2021) and is seeing similar momentum this year after closing a $10 million series of funding in May that provided for scaled-up inventory. As the old maxim goes: look good, play good. FootJoy, which currently has the highest market share models in both classic style (Premiere Series and Traditions) and athletic golf shoes (FJ Fuel), noted that this week is expected to be one of the biggest for its website, in terms of traffic volume, all year. This year, PGA Tour Superstore has opened three more stores with an additional five still to come. Over one-third of Stix’s customers have played golf for less than two years, while a quarter of their customers play once a month or less.

Buying, Selling, & Collecting: A Father's Day Shopping Guide For ... (HODINKEE)

Just like watches, father figures come in all shapes, sizes, and budgets. Here's what we'd buy for our eight favorite paternal archetypes.

If you figure he's more of a leather strap kind of guy, don't sleep on our own collab with Timex, the($179, 38mm) would make a great gift and you can get one with a red-black "Coke" bezel and a versatile black dial. He's sensible and workably modern, but his interest is rooted in a time long past and the anemoia is strong. He has a vast collection of photobooks and likely owns at least one pair of glasses with clear frames. While New Balance Dad is a rare breed, they are becoming more common in recent years and HODINKEE is chock-a-block with examples. Small is likely ok – but you want something strange with a classic footing. I know what you're thinking – didn't we just do Sporty Dad? Well, Athleisure Dad is a different beast altogether when it comes to style and needs. In honor of our fathers, I've assembled a collection of loosely silly but probably accurate dad archetypes to help you narrow down an accessible watch for your father figure that won't break the bank or his sense of self and style. What to get him: Professor Dad wants a subtle, old-school watch with classic appeal. Always in motion unless he's resting after a long run or tinkering with some adjustment on his road bike, Sporty Dads come in a variety of versions; marathon dad, cross-fit dad, golf dad, still-plays-hockey-twice-a-week dad, etc. Tool Dad loves the tough functionality of a tool watch. Trust me, he'll be thinking of you when he hits that PR, comes in under par, or starts the hike down from that feature peak. And, because dads know it's not about the money, we kept the picks within a reasonable budget – and many are carried in the HODINKEE Shop because dads love efficiency.

Stu Cowan: A special Father's Day for Réjean Houle and his family (Montreal Gazette)

When we have a son, we're all the same and hope that things go well for him," former Canadien says about son's first season as Rocket coach.

“But we’re all going to be together now on Sunday. It should be a great day.” “Just being himself, down to Earth, do the job, be honest — very honest — all the time. But he went through the coaching trajectory, doing his thing and finally he got to a point where there’s more interest because it’s a higher level of hockey.” “I wanted him to have his studying go the right way and he earned a diploma in business administration. If you feel comfortable and are happy to play hockey, that’s the best way to go.” That’s what Réjean preached to J.F. when he was playing hockey as a kid. “When we have a son, we’re all the same and hope that things go well for him,” Réjean said. J.F. had definitely earned the Rocket job, no matter who his father is. That’s why when Jean-François Houle was named head coach of the AHL’s Laval Rocket last July, his father, Réjean, refused to do any interviews. The giant shadow cast by the father can make it difficult for the son to grow up and be known as his own man. Article content Article content

Fathers Day: Being a good dad means rethinking masculinity (Vox)

Michael Ian Black on how to raise better men.

You don’t have to become a dad to have that revelation, but it was a revelation for me. The thing that made you feel most like a man are the things that are most commonly associated with being a woman. And I needed the experience of being a dad to have that — maybe other people don’t, but I needed it. And it requires a lot of self-confidence and toughness to say, “I need help in this moment.” But there are a certain set of characteristics that make a human and we all share them. And to give them a renewed sense of purpose in the culture. There’s something noble in the idea of self-reliance and we’ll get to it, but I do think the discomfort a lot of us have with vulnerability can be a real handicap. The lack of community is a big part of it, too, which ties into lack of purpose, which ties into lack of self-identity. And this question of vulnerability and toughness is such a hard one for me. You say in the book that you can see how a certain kind of masculinity “can nudge a teetering psyche toward violence.” What do you mean? And not having the tools or the vocabulary to open up. We’re Texas. We want you to have as many guns and ammunition as you wish.

Curious Questions: Did a mining disaster lead to the invention of ... (Country Life)

Curious Questions: Did a mining disaster lead to the invention of Father's Day? Martin Fone June 18, 2022.

It took the irresistible Americanisation of British culture after the Second World War and the welcome prospect of a mid-year fillip to the retail sector’s revenues to cement Father’s Day in the British calendar. ‘Ba’ is the Chinese word for eight and ‘ba-ba’ the colloquial term for father, making the Taiwanese choice of the eighth day of the eighth month — August 8th— as Father’s Day highly appropriate. Following America’s lead, the third Sunday of June was adopted as Father’s Day and its observance has gone from strength to strength. Whereas Mother’s Day was embraced with enthusiasm, the prevailing view was that men were not as sentimental as women and would be less receptive to gifts and overt expressions of gratitude and affection. Sonora was full of admiration for the way her father had risen to the daunting challenge and his devotion to his young family. In Catholic tradition there had been since the Middle Ages the Feast Day of St Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary, which is celebrated on March 19th. Despite Presidents Woodrow Wilson, in 1916, and Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, coming out strongly in favour of Father’s Day, Congress blocked any attempt to make it a national holiday. The public outcry following the sector’s annus horribilis led to the adoption of more stringent safety and working practices with the establishment of the United States Bureau of Mines in 1910. When Sonora was sixteen, her mother, Ellen, died after giving birth to her sixth child, leaving her father William — a farmer and Civil War veteran — to raise the young family single-handed. Parishioners gave out flowers, red roses to honour a living father and white in memory of a deceased father. She lobbied her local pastor, the Reverend Robert Thomas Webb, to hold a special service at the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South to celebrate fatherhood and what fathers do for their children. The small town of Monongah in West Virginia has the unenviable distinction of being the site of America’s worst mining disaster.

27 Last-Minute Father's Day Deals (2022) (WIRED)

It's late, but not too late. Hurry up and snag a killer gift on these smartwatches, headphones, and more.

The New Wayfarer has slightly smaller lenses and is less canted forward, so Pop can have all the style in a sleeker package. If Dad wants to give takeout the boot and get into cooking, this 17-piece set will form a solid basis for a kitchen loadout. From frying and sauce pans of varying sizes to a three-piece nylon cooking tool set, he'll have everything he needs to become the household's newest chef. And it does all of that at a budget price when many espresso machines cost a pretty penny. The Totallee is one of our favorite iPhone cases because it offers a bump in scratch and drop protection over a caseless phone, but at only 0.02 inches thick it's not chunky enough to make Dad feel like he's carrying a brick. Make sure Dad never recoils from a sip of off-putting, room-temperature java again with this rechargeable mug that'll let him keep his coffee (or tea) warm for up to 80 minutes. It includes an iPhone case that allows Dad to mount all three lenses that come with the kit. The Go Portal ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a 10-inch display screen and can double as a Bluetooth speaker, but its standout feature is the smart camera automatically zooms and pans during video calls to make it look like there's a personal camera crew at work. Send Dad a digital photo frame to remind him of all the good times you've had together. It offers not just Bluetooth connectivity but also Wi-Fi. Part of the speaker's appeal is that it's also the cheapest way to join the Sonos ecosystem of devices. If Dad has a hard time falling asleep or waking in the morning, a sunrise clock could be just what he needs to ease his way into or out of bed. This model offers all the characteristic Strat chime and brightness with three single-coil pickups and a maple neck and fretboard.

Opinion | Happy Father's Day to Roy Ayers, My Brilliant, Absent Dad (The New York Times)

Most of us with absent fathers think, “What about me?” We rarely stop to ask, “What about him?”

In that moment at the screening, I witnessed my father in his element, and I saw a side of him I’d never seen. The Times is committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor. I have always felt uncomfortable talking about my father, even with my closest friends. And I saw a 28-year-old man who looked a lot like I did at that age — a younger version of myself, with all the passion and promise of youth. I’ve felt our connection when I see our similarities — our high cheekbones and our physical laughs. I saw an energetic, disciplined talent who was on the cusp of writing and recording some of his best music — some of the best music of a golden era. I’m no closer to my father this Father’s Day, but I’ve made peace with that. Though we live in the same city, my father and I haven’t had a meaningful conversation since that lunch years ago. But when I finally did, it allowed me to let some things go. Music took 100 percent of his energy, and there was no room for me in that equation. About 20 minutes into the concert documentary, the exuberant host Tony Lawrence shouts, “Ladies and gentlemen, from right here in Harlem, soul time!” When I tried to stay in touch with Roy after that lunch, he rushed through phone calls or left them largely unanswered.

The Father's Day Gift Guide For Bitcoiners (Bitcoin Magazine)

Dad's don't necessarily need special or fancy gifts, but Bitcoiners want to make sure our dads have the Bitcoin tools and gadgets they need.

The stories in the magazine can help your dad view bitcoin as a fundamentally world-changing technological development. Another cool idea would be to get your dad his own Bitcoin full node to verify his own transactions and enforce the blockchain rules. Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation; it’s a hedge against tyranny. But for the dad who wants to treasure his new gift of bitcoin, I recommend starting with a wallet. Another route would be a subscription to the Bitcoin Magazine print edition. If he’s on the fence, this may help your dad hop onto the lifeboat. The Coldcard is a classic choice with tons of functionality. At 21 million bitcoin to go around, there’s not even enough for all the millionaires in the world to own a whole coin. The idea came from one of my Bitcoin buddies, who published an article about gifting his parents bitcoin using a Ballet physical wallet. Go ahead and have the kids draw some pictures and paint some rocks, things I proudly display in my office, and save a few bucks for something that will last for a while. Assuming we’ve avoided a hyperinflationary catastrophe, that’s probably still a pretty solid vacation for you and the family. I like to refer to many of the toys we get our kids as presents as “future trash.” It’s an unfortunate by-product of the fiat society we live in.

BookLovers: A Fathers' Day Tribute (SouthCoastToday.com)

I tried, this week, to think of Great American Books about fatherhood. Hunted for passages and quotes that conveyed the epitome of fatherhood.

I wanted a book about the man with no e-mail. I wanted a story about the one whose form we imitated when we shot baskets on the street. I was looking for a book about a wood-chopper and sea glass-collector. I was looking for an example of a character who was some kind of Cowboy Poet. Guitar-picker and crossword-puzzler. The dad dragging hurdles and javelins back to the fieldhouse. That rich smoky smell and bird song in the golden afternoon light.

It’s where my father began our family life. I’ll visit with my mother this summer. I like a strong brandy now and then poured reasonably deep into a snifter, but this Father’s Day I’ll leave the snifter on the shelf. He had straight white teeth, virtually no wrinkles, and kept a full head of silver hair. He had a compact small build and remained noticeably handsome. Along with bait and supplies, he’d put his dismantled fishing rod into the pack sack he carried on his back, and with the shortened rod sections protruding he’d quietly motor off to fish a local bay. He liked to play card games, drink gin with tap water from a small glass, and tease his fellow card players. For as long as I can remember, Dad was always in good humour. By the mid-1940s, Dad had met my mother, an English speaker. The world of those painters and nature seekers wasn’t Dad’s. Albert Simoneau was raised poor in Irishtown on a subsistence farm ‒ a horse, dairy cow, pig and chickens. Irishtown was a dirt-road extension of Percé, a small fishing and tourist community. He was charming without really knowing so and people were drawn to him and his unassuming ways.

Best Gift: A Father's Day He'll Never Forget (Forbes)

When I was a child, Father's Day gifts were usually hand-painted cards, plaster handprints or some other crafty article instigated by my teachers, ...

Other times the letter was the gift, as in the year I gave Dad a journal within which I had written a series of letters outlining all the things I loved about him. Another note was from a high-school friend, catching me up on all her day-to-day goings on, from career to kids to hobbies. One was a chatty decades-old letter from my mother to her newly married-and-moved-away daughter (me). I remember how I’d look forward to those weekly missives from miles away. I love technology as much as the next person, but when it comes to interconnection, it leaves me cold—no matter how many well-placed emojis are involved. As I grew older and I became gainfully employed, the gifts changed, but the inclusion of a card never did. A tie or handkerchiefs, some favorite chocolate or even a package of golf balls—all bankrolled by my Mom—were ceremoniously presented to Dad on his special day.

Father's Day once was highly political — and could become so again (The Washington Post)

The holiday's lack of history allowed activists to give it meaning after America's divorce laws changed.

The Seattle-based organization Husbands Against Dirty Divorce (HADD) planned a Father’s Day brunch in 1986 to bring attention to the fact that the holiday was not accorded the same respect as the other spring holidays. The politicization of Father’s Day has subsided since the 1980s. By the 1980s, fathers’ rights groups across the country planned events and protests to mark the holiday, often focusing on calls for a legal presumption of joint custody. Over time, lawmakers on the state and federal levels responded to the critiques of the no-fault divorce system that drove Father’s Day advocacy on both sides. Fathers’ rights advocates objected to being used as “wallets” and claimed that their ex-wives purposely kept them from seeing their children in violation of visitation orders. The experience of divorce drew many White, middle-class women to the burgeoning women’s movement. The majority of divorcing couples in the early to mid-20th century did not have children, but the “tender years doctrine” meant that in most cases, mothers retained custody of their minor children if they did. No-fault divorce laws, however, did not deal with some of the most contested aspects of marital dissolution, especially questions about finances and child custody. The entire landscape changed in 1969, with the advent of no-fault divorce. These former housewives and newly single mothers — the vast majority of whom had custody of their children — also complained vociferously about their difficulties in collecting alimony (if awarded) and child support, further contributing to their precarious financial circumstances. This understanding of Father’s Day, though, misses the ways in which Americans have used the holiday as a political vehicle. By the mid-20th century, many Americans regarded this “fault” system as something of a joke.

Then it was the big course and they were so excited to play on the same course that I was. I like to say that I almost had triplets because of the app being born that same day, and it was just a crazy experience. But for two little dudes to be that into golf and understand the rules and be quiet in your back swing and respected and walk with their own clubs and carry their own things. We got them a little putting mat and they did putting in the house, and then we would go to the driving range and believe it or not, they learned the swing just from watching it on TV. At one point in their lives, in the 2018 Masters, I had recorded the final round on our DVR. I'm not kidding that at two and a half years old, they watched that every single day for six months. For the parents, for my wife and I, it was okay, we're going to get some semblance of normalcy back to our lives, but the boys are going to be together. Because I remember when I was a kid, I loved going to practice with my dad, with my friends. It truly was a lack of sleep and then a lack of clarity the rest of the day. I had twin boys in the hospital and I had PR interviews that I was supposed to be doing for the app launch, which I had been working on for like 18 months or two years. I think I freaked out for a few hours when I realized this child was on the way, and then I happened to be on the way to visit my dad that same day. I got to talk to my dad in the wake of this nuclear bombshell going off in my life that, oh my God, I've got a child on the way. I know what I've heard from friends or seen in TV or in the movies, but as I get older, it's clearer and clearer that that's only part of the picture. She climbs up into her loft to be by herself and sits quietly in what looks like a meditative pose and sits with this thing, that we have this kind of like a glitter snow globe kind of thing.

Opinion: On Father's Day, I worry about letting my family down the ... (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Today is Father's Day. It's a weird day for me. My dad was a deadbeat, a lifelong disappointment. By Shawn VanDiver. June 19, 2022 6 AM PT.

I don’t know if I should be recognized on Father’s Day. But I do know I’ll take the day as a chance to recommit myself to being the kind of dad I want to be. I love my family so much, more than I thought was possible, but I also know I’m not showing them the way that I should, that I’m not prioritizing them like I should. My dad was anything but. I travel a lot for work and for my passion projects. I know it’s hard. As far as I could tell, fatherhood was never his priority, just like how on the happiest day of my life, all he cared about was the tacos. I drop off the baby, and the teenager if he slept in. We divide the day and the responsibilities between us. I want them to have it better than I did. My wife and I have two kids. I remember he wouldn’t stop complaining about the food. Today is Father’s Day. It’s a weird day for me.

Archibald: The perfect Father's Day gift (al.com)

This is an opinion column. I got an early Father's Day surprise from my oldest son. A box of vintage treats from the '60s and '70s. Thoughtful.

It’s OK. It’s enough to know those kids are out there, and OK, and I am their dad. If I didn’t know better I’d say they listened to their mom and me. They had “Best Dad Ever” mugs to go with my shirt, but how many lies can you tell yourself? Because I see it in them. They can speak with sharp tongues sometimes, but they are not afraid to use their voices. Sometimes I wonder if my advice to them is even relevant in such a world. I’ve come to believe it is. But then you watch those little bundles get older and start to build families of their own in a world scarier than anything my generation knew. They long for a world of fairness and stand for that in their own ways. I hope they picked up on that along the way. Which means you’ve gotta be careful about what you say and do. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of life.

Zelensky in Father's Day message praises dads who defend Ukraine (The Washington Post)

The war with Russia has killed 100 to 200 soldiers, most of them men, every day, Ukrainian officials say.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. Stoltenberg’s forecast, in an interview published Saturday in Germany’s Bild newspaper, comes as the United States and its allies are preparing for a drawn-out conflict. The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. “We are doing everything we can to ensure that children will see their parents returning home from war,” the parliament’s caption said. And no matter how difficult it is — to protect and defend the most precious. In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper in April, he spoke fondly of his teenage daughter and joked that “without knocking the door, I can’t speak with my daughter.”

Why You Should Stack Sats To Celebrate Father's Day (Bitcoin Magazine)

It's not only the duty of the Bitcoin fathers out there, but the obligation to continue to stack sats for our children.

This is our duty, not only to give our kids an alternative to the future, but to share the knowledge that is required for them to be successful in it as well. For all of the Bitcoin fathers out there, take time to reflect on your journey down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and how you will be able to share that knowledge with your kids. It is our obligation as fathers to set our kids up for success. With kids as young as mine, they won't be able to send me sats for Father’s Day this year, and that’s OK. It’s my duty and any other father’s out there — new, old or just becoming a dad — to stack sats for our kids. I can't predict the future or begin to know the shape of it, but what I know today is that Bitcoin gives me a sense of hope and a degree of freedom from current economic and geopolitical happenings, because I am able to pass something of value on to them. If your dad is like mine and the rest of my family, they probably have little to no interest in Bitcoin. To this day, when I call my parents they ask me how “Bit-CON” is doing.

30 Last-Minute Father's Day Deals (2022) (WIRED)

It's late, but not too late. Hurry up and snag a killer gift on these smartwatches, headphones, and more.

The New Wayfarer has slightly smaller lenses and is less canted forward, so Pop can have all the style in a sleeker package. If Dad wants to give takeout the boot and get into cooking, this 17-piece set will form a solid basis for a kitchen loadout. There are several different settings for different brewing needs, and it won't take up too much room on the counter either. This basic e-reader earned second place in our guide to the Best Kindles. It lacks the page-turn buttons and modern charging capabilities of the more expensive Paperwhite, but the 2019 Kindle is still a capable little gadget. From frying and sauce pans of varying sizes to a three-piece nylon cooking tool set, he'll have everything he needs to become the household's newest chef. And it does all of that at a budget price when many espresso machines cost a pretty penny. The Totallee is one of our favorite iPhone cases because it offers a bump in scratch and drop protection over a caseless phone, but at only 0.02 inches thick it's not chunky enough to make Dad feel like he's carrying a brick. It includes an iPhone case that allows Dad to mount all three lenses that come with the kit. The Go Portal ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a 10-inch display screen and can double as a Bluetooth speaker, but its standout feature is the smart camera automatically zooms and pans during video calls to make it look like there's a personal camera crew at work. Send Dad a digital photo frame to remind him of all the good times you've had together. If Dad has a hard time falling asleep or waking in the morning, a sunrise clock could be just what he needs to ease his way into or out of bed. This model offers all the characteristic Strat chime and brightness with three single-coil pickups and a maple neck and fretboard.

A Father's Day gift that's better than a few sleeves of Pro V1s (Deadspin)

Whatever the activity — be it 18 holes or a baseball game — it's better than anything you'll find on Amazon.

So, the next time you’re struggling to find a Father’s Day gift for your pops, my suggestion if you can’t see him in person is reading material. (It’s kind of difficult to talk my girlfriend into watching baseball in swampy midwest heat with nowhere to hide from the sun when it’s not her team on the field. My dad, Steve, has been to several iterations since the change. (I’m not going to buy you new Pro V1s when I know you have a couple dozen egg cartons worth sitting in the garage, dad.) If there’s an oil or a treatment for it, he’ll find it and follow the application directions to the letter. When you need to tote just the essentials, our ultra-sleek leather card case holds it all in a minimalist size.
