If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

Why would I ever refer to this by anything other than an “NES”? But I’ve had a colonoscopy and you should absolutely get one as well if you’re 45 or older and haven’t been screened.

Every Sounders player is currently wearing a "Club World Cash Grab" shirt in warmups.

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

Great job everyone

Look at this beautiful data visualization by a man named Colin

Exactly. The Pope adheres to ancient, straightforward Sunday School teachings about helping the needy and not being cruel to the vulnerable. That this is being portrayed as radical and partisan says way more about the ones making the accusation than it does about him.

awww tuck that little guy back in and try again: goodnight treatment plant. goodnight sewers. goodnight on-call maintenance crewers. goodnight settling tank, goodnight stream bank, goodnight filtration, goodnight pump station. goodnight steam rising into the air, goodnight sewers everywhere.

Tonight I explained septic systems to my child and it was apparently so upsetting to him that it caused a crying meltdown at bedtime.

NGL, I’m kind of excited for the first time I’m at the office and I’ll get to see a helicopter land on the roof of the new inpatient tower.

You know what has value, all the time always? Handsome brown dogs.

Half wondering if I just don’t think to post while I’m here scrolling or if it’s because I have nothing of much value to say. I think I used to post lots of things that _didn’t_ have a lot of value on birdsite and that’s maybe not who I am here or am now.

George Lucas right now is hunched over a Wayback Machine mirror of a bunch of 1999 fan forums going wild over how no one wants to hear about trade policy, sipping wine from his California wine farm, just giggling

Mike DeWine just ended academic freedom at Ohio public colleges and universities. He just signed the most restrictive higher ed bill in modern American history.

how it feels lately doing my little tasks & confronting my minor responsibilities

I wouldn’t have ever considered putting the words “Tariff” and “Edging” together, but I think that we’re there conceptually.

I need people to play attention to this 👇 and to what I said on Thursday www.marketplace.org/2025/02/13/t... The destruction of politics is coming for the economy

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

“Siri, play Simon and Garfunkel. But, like… just the sad ones.”

Enjoying the extra day off this weekend by spending time with my gaming group romping through this Kickstarted copy of Arydia. Slides into a dungeons and dragons space but there’s no DM, it’s instead driven by event decks and whatnot. Beautiful and extensive components.

The child brought home his recorder for music class and I have been WAITING for this.

This New Year’s Eve, the child is being introduced to Raiders.

I would like to watch this masterpiece, Brown Dog

Our nine year old has mispronounced “specifically” as “pacifically” for literal years and @lyssann.bsky.social and I have quietly refused to correct it. Tonight he said “specifically” and I even asked him to repeat what he’d said to confirm I’d heard it. Sad day.

My kid's only real exposure to synth-heavy music is from my various 80s playlists. So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I put on one of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums last night and he paused, listened, made a scrunched-up thinking face and said "Is this Europe?"

Massive away win for the little fella.
