Move to Washington, where you get heat advisories for weekends with actually nice weather.

Is the Elon/Trump fight just performative to drive more traffic to their social media platforms?

Overheard coming out of my wife's office: *Incoming call sound from Teams* Wife: "oh fuck you"

I've only been using AI tools as part of my workflow for maybe 2 months. I feel... different. Like I'm both dumber and smarter at the same time.

I can't stop listening to the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack.

Me in 2000: Man, Creed rocks. Me in 2010: Man, Creed sucks. Me in 2025: Man, Creed rocks.

MFW when I thought I'd challenge myself by installing linux on a 15yo laptop and trying to get a generic USB microsocope working in it and I'm 3 hours in debugging and contemplating throwing it all in the garbage.

Reclaiming some space on my bookshelf.

Resisting the urge to recreate Windows 95 as a web app.

Had to block someone today because they told me I wasn't allowed to edit my own bio. Wut.

Can we talk about this M83 album? Best album of the 2010s?

There are only 3 "driving" songs as far as I'm concerned: 1. The Offspring: Bad Habit 2. Brian Setzer Orchestra: Switchblade 327 3. Audioslave: Getaway Car Hit me with your favorite driving songs.

Oh the horrors I'd probably find in these directories...

Being a realtor on social media must be exhausting. Half the comments I see on posts are always some variation of "this looks terrible" or "that ain't worth half what it's listed for".

Do they make anything like this but the USB ports are a hub connected to your PC? All the ones I find the USB ports are just power-only.

I opened Bsky to skeet something but I forgot what I was gonna say but while typing this I remembered and it was: if you know what "put it in H" means I wanna be friends

✅ Survived a 10-year-old boy birthday party. The number of times I heard "bruh", "bet", "goofy ahh", "brain rot", "rizz", "sigma", "sus"...

I have too many computers but I also have extra monitors in need of computers to hook up to them. Whatever can a boy do?

I should really do a no-working, no-coding, no-gaming weekend. My brain is friiiieed.

I wonder how much additional merchandise Amazon sells so people can meet the $25 minimum for same-day delivery knowing full-well that shit ain't arriving same day. It's a racket and they know it.
