Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

If booty rockin’ everywhere, the booty rockin’ is of no importance. Booty rockin’ has become mundane and worthless from over saturation of the marketplace.

Jimmy's on his bullshit again.

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-presi...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Managing digital photos/videos in is vexing. Each is potentially an irreplicable artifact. Yet most are noise. But storage is cheap, capture is easy, and attention is expensive, so we don't take the time to manually curate.

Just overheard "and they found millions of 130 yo's getting SS checks!" JFC....even Elon walked that back right away. It wasn't even their typical intentional lie, it was DOGE idiots misinterpreting a COBOL field. We expected hovercars, instead we are facepalming ourselves to death.

At one point, this architectural wonder of mid century design was the Worst Del Taco in St. Louis.

Recently discovered two of my cousins don't know how digital calendars work. They solely rely on their wives to tell them what's coming up. The wild part is their wives don't seem to mind this at all. They've transformed weaponized incompetence into institutionalized control. Respect.

Moving a PDF from Gmail into my desktop OneNote and musing on how complex that is from a file system POV. Like does it matter that I know what's really going on? Should my kids know? I dunno. Xennials are the first and last gen to know how the sausage is made.

As an aging white guy I'm baffled by the retreat to paternalism by my peers. They suddenly feel called to re-assert their god-given role as "leaders" of the flock. I get it now, real men do need to step up...and call out how pathetic and fragile these "men" are.

There's like 3 other people in this metro area who's also want this car and they are watching the exact same sources as me. A guy could probably disinfo his way into this car.... but then I'd be cheating some obviously amazing dudes who have impeccable taste in cars.

I just missed out on my dream car (2012-2014 Acura TSX Wagon) because some other nerd's alert game is better than mine. My Gmail has been a disaster for a while but this disaster might be my breaking point.

If I ever meet a Comptroller I'm going to say I'm an Enginpreer to help build rapport.
