For those participating in #boycotts, remember that giving "free" products your attention is lining a company's pockets. Deny them ad impressions and clicks. Don't give them your time.

Even if the $55 billion figure were close to correct, that's only like $350 per taxpayer.

There's an unusual amount of spaghetti on the ground.

"Iz in."

Just as a watched pot never boils, a highly anticipated delivery will arrive as soon as you leave the house.

Ver a un gato teniendo un sueño es una de las cosas más preciosas que he visto en mi vida.

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

I know it doesn't mean anything, but I feel a tiny bit of joy every time I get to sign a petition with fucktrump@[mydomain.com]

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

When you go into Valentine's Day with no clear plan and someone offers you free tickets to the circus, you take them... and you have a great time.

Someone's an unhappy patient.

I've spent the last few days migrating from Gmail. That means getting comfortable with IMAP again for the first time in nearly 20 years. In a world of push notifications, polling your server only once an hour feels like an act of resistance, and I'm embracing this new sense of calm.

Hey, Google, is your AI still fucking stupid?

Interesting. DeepSeek starts to answer, then suddenly shuts up.

Look, I'm not sure what else I can contribute to the revolution, but I'm really good at wasting people's time. Give me an email or phone number and I'll happily spam away.

Obviously, none of us know any undocumented people in the US, but hypothetically, if you did, it could really help them if you checked in on them, made sure they knew their constitutional rights, and maybe even offered to bring them things from stores they're too afraid to visit.

Boss: Come see me when you're settled. Me: Soooo... Never?

"The Tolerant Left" is what I call my weaker fist.

Friendly reminder that "all due respect" can be none.

There is a direct correlation between the number of hours I've been awake and the number of words I use in an email.

"So Bluesky is an alternative to Twitter, but what's an alternative to Facebook?" Touching. fucking. grass.

Men, how often do you think about the Roman salute?

I’m just glad that my faith in humanity isn’t alive to see any of this.

This my friends is called engagement farming, and you're going to be seeing a lot of it. The best ways to clock it: 1. Posts about something that's already widely reported 2. Aims to leverage despair, rage and/or anxiety for an emotional response 3. Offers no actual insights or analysis Look out!

You've got your short, sad life left. That's what I'm counting on. I'll let you get right to it. Now, I only want you gone.

You’re telling me this life crisis is mid?
