I do and try a lot of weird shit. But apparently eating foraged mushrooms from a friend who is NOT a mycologist is a line I didn't know I had until today.

Love Alexander Skarsgård as Murderbot, but also did they consider Richard Ayoade?

The reason I can't afford a house isn't my lattes or avocado toast. It's my obsession with Melo Melo desserts.

Congrats to the Chicago Bears on their new Wide Receiver.

Oh no I made a post on LinkedIn that went well but now it's gone TOO well and I'm getting Facebook level hate comments.

You ever just scroll through here and none of the words you see make any sense to you? I recognize them as words but they just don't connect to meaning in my brain.

They should rename Marketplace Morning Report to "Fuck Around, Find Out"

Started reading Murderbot (All Systems Red) the other night to get ahead of the show release. So ... it's about a cyborg that has autism? #booksky

Yesterday: Hm, LinkedIn feels like an alright place. Today: *looks at profile with "American Made" in Fraktur Blackletter* 🤮

My local NPR station isn't playing on my smart home speaker so I'm listening to WNYC and pretending I live in New York every morning.

If there's one thing I learned from all the sci-fi consumption, it's that the only thing that will bring us together is an existential outside threat. Aliens. We need aliens.

Just returned from the opera and not only do I feel cultured af but also I'm outside of myself watching a new ADHD hyperfixation start in real time as I look up season ticket holder info and picture this becoming my new personality.

😢

Okay, after 5 minutes of scrolling on social media, I hit my limit. If I go any further, I will throw my laptop across the room and start shouting at strangers outside.

My woo-woo bullshit self is really encouraging you skeptics to mark the beginning of July on your calendar for radical shifts in tech and comms. Or you know, like, what's the harm in preparing for a shift?

One way to encourage women to have children is by offering better maternity leave, better work from home policies, and better healthcare, but that's not a conversation it looks like corporate America is willing to have.

Oblivion Remastered: Some Thoughts 💭 Neat. 💭 Can't wait to see how long it takes for my character to clip through the floor. 💭 Why is this being released when I'm at my most productive? 💭 Damn I wish it was Morrowind. 💭 Wait, isn't Oblivion the worst Elder Scrolls game?

Ugh can you imagine one of the last things you have to do before you die is meet with JD Vance? Guess that's a preview of hell.

I mean I guess kudos to every single Last of Us player who didn't spoil that for me. Sheesh.

Rewatching The Expanse and was reminded of this tweet. Aged well.

I’m glad he did this. Every single Democratic politician who doesn’t make a similar stand should face an enthusiastic primary challenge

Okay maybe I'm missing something but why does Teams exist if it doesn't also incorporate Outlook? Why do I have to have 2 different programs open?

me and who

I paid my taxes and am my own boss. I lift weights and run. I paint and make art. I'm in a long-term supportive relationship. I'm writing this while peeing on the toilet.

I know the world is still burning but I'm taking any ounce of happiness I can and am holding on tight. Yes, I did travel to see Sailor Moon Live (again).

Oh God my Lyft driver farted and I'm too Midwest to roll down the window

It's a terrible time to be intelligent.

Ope I made the mistake of eating breakfast on vacation in the hotel common area and I'm wondering which of these motherfuckers is cheering for Trump on the morning news.

"There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and no surviving under capitalism without consumption." Yes and. Have you considered that capitalism is a virus that needs to be eradicated?

Still need proof? My partner shaved his moustache yesterday morning and I didn't notice until 9:30 p.m. tonight. And that's not my worst time!
