I finally got an air conditioner Pros: my apartment is no longer nearly 90 degrees. Cons: I am paranoid it will fall out of the window. I really wish I wasn't renting so I could just screw everything in to make sure it's super secure.

I love getting a crisis at work right as I'm about to walk out the door on Friday. Why can't people find things going wrong after I leave?

I really think I need to work I'm out more considering I just had to buy a $50 more expensive air conditioner than I wanted because I couldn't lift the one I went for up a flight of stairs. $50 is a steep weak guy tax.

Aside from the racism of it all, how out of touch do you have to be to think workers don't like having holidays off?

Telling me "the subway is so dangerous now" is my immediate sign that you need your TV taken away and your news algorithm adjusted www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...?

Any possibility I had of supporting the Blackhawks now that I live here evaporated today when a CPD van pulled over to give me shit about having a red wings shirt. It's a good confirmation of who I thought their fans were though.

I've started listening to @badheroescast.com and I really appreciate how they put in music. So many actual plays out in the music really quiet, so nice to hear one that sticks to their guns.

I'm fascinated by the MD/PhD student that no matter the time I eat lunch is always sitting in the lunch room giving out the most banal advice to random people. Especially because during half of those conversations he complains about how busy he is.

I finally saw Friendship and saw way too much of myself in Tim Robinson's character. It was certainly exacerbated by the fact that I was literally the only single person in the theater.

"posting isn't praxis" I say in a voice that makes it obvious that I'm just mad my posts don't get traction.

I need suitcase typewriters to come back so that I can go to a bar and start typing out the stupid things that come into my head that are too long for posts.

I need a game that is just the automation portion of plate up. It takes too long (especially solo) to get to that point when all I want to do is make my little machines to make pizzas.

Just had a mechanic tell me that he was wrong on his initial assessment and I don't actually need repairs and not charge me anything. I guess I know where I'm going for all of my car troubles in the future.

Just walkmogged some waitcucks at a traffic light’s pedestrian crossing. Enjoy the cold, dears - I’ll be over here, fifteen steps ahead of you and in touch with my city’s heartbeat

nerding out about the symbolism on this chicago water pumping station. the peace sign type things are the municipal device, a stylized map of the chicago river’s 3 branches, but flipped upside down to represent the incredible hydraulic engineering achievement of reversing the river’s flow

whats up yall this is today! all day! lots of streamers! I'll be going live in ~30 to yap but we officially kick off at noon EST (1 hour from this post) twitch.tv/hcjustin cya there :)

The fact that people act like this about HP and other kids books are why I try to avoid reading YA. It's hard to buy "adults enjoy YA too" when apparently they can't even be adult enough to avoid harmful stuff without being spoon fed the store brand alternative. It's just an alien type of fanbase.

My rice cookers alarm sounds like my smoke detector and it nearly give me a heart attack every time it's done cooking.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Listening to the Behind the Bastards about George Church and it's nice to hear @iwriteok.bsky.social echo the same things about Church overhyping science that a lot of scientists say. I'm somewhat resentful because it's basically the only genetics the media will talk about, and it's not accurate.

I really don't understand the stalls at craft fairs selling concrete tchotchkes. I don't understand why anyone would want to decorate their place with heavy cube shaped things painted weirdly when you could get the same things in actual pottery with varying designs a few stands away.

It's notable that they don't talk to anyone in the sciences where things like facts and accuracy matter. I also don't know how they're going to incorporate AI into those kinds of fields, because you know by AI they mean chatGPT and not a specialized model that may have some edge uses.

I picked up the first edition of the heavy metal reboot and it rocks. Normally I feel like I can't justify buying comics because they're so short for what they cost, but I really don't have that issue here.

Waking up early is wild. I feel so accomplished by getting up, doing errands and getting back to my apartment by the time I would wake up on normal weekends.

The problem with sending messages out into space is that if you stop doing it, the aliens know that things are so fucked on your planet that you had to slash funding

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

They're literally doing the meme

Bioinformatics is so cool because you'll be troubleshooting something and then see a post from this avatar and think "thank god, my troubles are over"

The Flyer. 1/4

Everyone talks about how there's less quicksand than on TV, but no one talks about how every show has a career day at school but I've never heard of anyone that actually had one where a bunch of random people come in to talk to a classroom of kids.

It’s finally announced: I got an awesome new gig as the co-host on the Great Australian Bake-Off lol. This was so much fun to film and completely surreal and they let me keep the cardigan

Let's do a different type of art share... With so much going on with LGBTQ+ & corporate America, why don't we keep the queer dollar in the queer community? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ In this thread, share your Pride merch, or your friend's Pride merch. Let's buy from each other rather than the corporations this year.

If I ever really bored I can just look out my window and watch the fanatical rent a cops at the parking lot next door boot the cars of people 10s after they walk towards the wrong store.

Some of the conversation on a recent @friends-table.bsky.social Perpetua episode about item descriptions reminded me of the end notes of a @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social notebook. It made me imagine the company selling all the basic adventurer gear was including helpful product guides.

SkyMuseum is live! We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we loved making it. What started as an experiment is now a full 3D gallery where you can explore Bluesky feeds and art shares like the works of art they truly are. Download it here: twigbit.itch.io/skymuseum
