Filing a claim on a warranty for a refurbished item I bought on eBay a few months ago that bricked 6 mos in and it’s the single most hostile UI I’ve ever encountered in my life. I couldn’t hit submit on one page until my phone number was in +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX format EXACTLY.

Most useful things I’ve done with ChatGPT: gotten the exact dates and more details on baseball games I only recollect a couple things from, finding the optimal settings for various gadgets/was especially helpful setting up a Bluray player for the best picture quality on a modern smart tv

Why yes of course I want to be resubscribed to dumb MLB dot com newsletters I unsubscribed to every other time before just because I bought baseball tickets

I saw a white power sticker in a park earlier and (carefully) removed it, felt good

No more Kool and the Gang after A’s home wins 🙁

Haven’t heard anyone mention that all the people that he promised their manufacturing jobs back to in 2016 are a full decade older now. We’re now 15 years removed from the GFC shedding of manufacturing jobs.

Gonna be a real trip when my alarm goes off to NPR at the top of the hour at 7 tomorrow I bet

A’s need to pull the trigger on giving JT Ginn the back of the rotation spot ASAP

Can’t wait for them to try to make the pitch that there wasn’t enough moral hazard in being able to buy a big TV for 400 bucks

I watched The Phanton Menace and the Manchurian Candidate last night

What’s going to be the modern equivalent of someone selling VCRs out of their trunk?

Ultimate Name A Guy

Almost all April Fools jokes are high risk low reward

Don’t love this was Sac’s intro to the A’s, hope JT Ginn is back in the rotation soon

Went to the A’s last game in Oakland for 25 dollars, going to the A’s first game in Sacramento for 25 dollars

Seems like Canada is basically having our 2012 election right now

Feels like a flex to log a movie on Letterboxd that someone you’re following has on their watchlist

There’s more good movies from the 50s than you think (I just watched Ace in the Hole)

Funniest joke the mid 20th century produced

one small schadenfreude joy is that donald trump correctly understands that john roberts is a trusted subordinate who is willing to perform acts of corruption on his behalf and treats him that way in public, not understanding that this is humiliating

Feel like I’ll finally need to buy toothpicks this year. I know for a fact I last did in 2015. Does this end up being a once exactly 10 years purchase in adulthood?

Have never seen a tower theater show as full as I did for Anora tonight (and they had the stadium seating theater playing the live action shorts)

The Conners is good btw

The 2020 episodes of The Conners are a jarring time capsule

The 12 months preceding Trump coming down the escalator was the actual end of history

Took a walk in midtown after the game and it felt like drivers were way more erratic than normal. Turned on the news this morning and hear 3 pedestrians were killed in and around Sacramento last night, two were hit and runs.

Left Shark was 10 years ago btw

Chills

ready to take it to the streets about this scorebug

Last night was a podcast

I’m ready to delete the (other) blue app now

The Art of the Deal Step 1: Do not present any clear demands or goals Step 2: Start hurting yourself and everyone around you Step 3: Profits

Ok but do you know what it feels like to snack on coffee crisp and then feel the caffeine kick?

Like the Democratic Party, I’m also starting 2025 rebuilding from scratch

You really have to be in your late 20s to appreciate the last season of Girls

Ready to pursue my true calling, buying obsolete electronics one step from the landfill and somehow profiting handsomely off of future nostalgia value

Would be nice if not every single protest had a significant PSL presence.

There’s going to be at least some amount of panic buying in the next 6 months huh

My green flag is that my Instagram suggested posts and reels are all cute animals

Maybe the wrong time in my life to be watching Girls Season 5

Nothing is funnier than when the crappiest TV antennas ever made are marketed as some kind of piracy

This whole time I thought the Chargers were the frauds

Evil wins again

Incredible precision by the helicopter crew dropping water on the LA firea 🎯

Shit, this is going to be a really long night

You can find it on DVD in a million secondhand stores btw

Are the Bears gonna finish the season worse than the Raiders?!
