A partial list of words I have tried to play in the online word game Apterous in the past week, that have been disallowed as not appearing in the Oxford Dictionary Premium: gladed, moldiest, naptime, onsides, retaming, tardies, undealt, and outsex (twice).

Oh a new score bug. And as usual my reaction is “this looks ugly as all hell” #superbowl

A++ for the background singers doing the "someone's getting fired". This performance is so goddamn silly and I love it. #grammys

There are some songs you expect to inspire a whole-bar singalong. Fleetwood Mac, Dreams wasn’t one I expected but it sounds good

I started teaching infinite series to some of my classes on Monday, and it was so great to have a "real-world example" on how 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 1 😄

A bunch of awesome internet people doing a stream to raise money for the Transgender Law Center. About to hit their super-reach goal of $100K with hours to go!

I am so blown away that we met our goal before the stream has even started. Thank you thank you thank you. Everyone is already making such a huge difference in the lives of so many trans people. Y'all have already absolutely exceeded my wildest dreams, so with that in mind... Let's try for 100k.

“The left foot’s down just prior to the contact.” It’s not. #nfccg

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYlM... "I'm Josh Gottheimer. In school, whenever I had a tough question on a test, my strategy was to pick 'All of the above'." That's a pretty bad strategy! This stupid-ass ad plays before every other video I watch on youtube and that's all I can think every time.

Decided to sing “American Idiot” at #karaoke tonight. Was surprised that the on-screen lyrics starred out “fuck” but not the other F-word

[after a ridiculous half-line buzz] “Why do you KNOW that?” “I card a bunch of bullshit, it’s all I do.” #quizbowl #nhbb

The most cursed sentence of 2025: “I made an AI podcast.”

Today begins Year Nine of tracking every song I sing at karaoke. Final stats for 2024: 326 performances of 264 songs by 190 artists. Leading songs: "Shut Up and Dance" (6), "Watermelon Sugar" (5). Leading artists: Billy Joel and Dua Lipa (12 each). And now, Every Artist I Sang In 2024:

Does BlueSky have a "mute account" feature? There's a decent number of inane posts I see on my Discover that aren't "you are banned from interacting with me" bad, but are "I don't want to waste my time reading your posts" mediocre.

There's a Thai place I eat at every so often which plays some satellite radio station exclusively playing toy-piano instrumental covers of pop songs. Today, it played "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, then "Happier" by Bastille back-to-back. What a wild choice of songs for that instrumentation.

I don't always have that much to say, but I guess I'll start saying it here.
