On the one hand, I don’t like getting my hopes up too often. On the other hand, it’s gotta happen sometime.

The 45% humidity makes being active outside a lot more pleasant than similar temps in July and August, but please remember to stay hydrated! I was guzzling liquid all day, had to stop in for a water bottle refill (and my sticker fix) at @mischieftoy.com on my way home, and I’m still rehydrating.

Sometimes the point of a bike ride is the slower beer at the end, ands I think that’s beautiful.

Anyway, Me when I decide to bike around the West Side, just to make sure it’s there: [insert gif of Murderbot saying, “I have to check the perimeter.”]

We need Murderbot gifs on here.

Did anyone remember to wake Green Day yesterday?

Snowy egret almost fumbled the fish here but NAAAH GOT IT!! 😭 🪶

This game is my new obsession. Had to get a copy for one of the kids too. Tickles my brain meat juuuuuuust right.

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

This is our gyro place! It's close, it's affordable, the staff is always friendly, and the meat is yummy in my tummy. I hate to say it, but you can give the falafel a pass, tho.

I hear another siren, so hear ya go.

Awooooooooooo! (spooky)

At least when I look like I'm busy but I'm just scrolling bsky, I'm not generating 57.2% accurate spreadsheets (that's an F according to most common grading systems btw).

"The attraction of a film like Serenity with its 'get out the signal' storyline is that it sells the idea of a single dramatic, high-stakes moment as the catalyst for wide-ranging systemic change." Good essay. (Spoilers for Serenity, The Matrix, Children of Men, & Superman (2025).)

Okay, one more bird post. Here's a snowy egret walking in slow motion toward the camera. Feel free to put this to the music of your choosing. 🪶

It's officially October 1st so that means you all have to repost Assorted cheese hell.....yes

This is a good article about two of my favorite things: nerds and beer.

THEY TURNED ME INTO A "PEE-EN-JEE" COOP! TOOK A PICTURE OF ME! IMMORTALIZED A FLEETING MOMENT! IT'S HIGH DEFINITION TOO! THE BOYS AT THE BUREAU ARE CALLING IT A "SCREENSHOT". REALLY NEAT STUFF!

The orange cat is very sweetly affectionate in his particular cranky and idiosyncratic way, but I also recognize that at times my appeal will be roughly on par with that of an open window and that’s okay. (If I am near an open window, he will sometimes bounce back and forth and never settle.)

I’m always saying, “If only my amp were authenticated on the blockchain, I’d finally get the toan I’m looking for.”

Explaining to Ripley that if he doesn’t like me picking sticker seeds out of his coat, he should take it up with his ancestors who thought it would be a good idea to move in with the apes with thumbs.

The world is kind of scary right now, so here's what I'm offering: Hognose snake drinking water. Be sure to stay for the lip smack.

Had a probably ~2yo bald eagle swoop down and grab a roadkill squirrel right in front of me after I dropped the kids off at school.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

In my expert opinion, it is about 13 degrees Fahrenheit more than necessary.

Current mood

Out for a ride, decided to stop for a beer before I crank up the hill home and I pulled up just in time to get an egg roll from the food truck before they left. #Schwinning

weird al version of klingon opera

I LAUGHED SO MUCH please watch it

Literally me.

I was gonna ride a different bike, but then I went out to the garage, thought “what the hell, gonna ride the new bike”, tossed on different handlebars and some grips that didn’t feel like they were gonna come alive and eat me like Tasha Yar, and rode around the West Side. Right choice.

Aldi has burgers with bacon and cheddar in the patty. I served them to my in-laws and my FIL, who only eats overcooked meat, passive-aggressively pointed out that there was pink in the center of his burger. I lied and said it was because of the bacon. I bet it was the best burger the man ever ate.
