The rumors are true... we're officially an item... Happy Pride...

Off to Berkeley later for Pints for Paws (animal shelter fundraiser / drinking beer outside) so I thought I'd go to the Berkeley pickle shop for their Saturday lunch thing and it's already booked... :( guess I'll have to book lunch at the Berkeley pickle shop earlier next time... #fml 😩

Yesterday I ran into like five students I had that are graduating in a couple days and I regret to report that it warmed my dark cold rock of a heart 😒🥰 ugh!! 😞🥰

Just did a play through of FFVI randomizer and the Relm-to-Shadow transition in the ending theme always fucking gets me 🥺

Of all the cursed objects I've found in vacation homes, I think the self-published paperback on how "all translations of Mein Kampf are wrong!" bookmarked with a holographic trading card from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (at page 3) is unlikely to ever be surpassed

Griddling tortillas and drinking a mango White Claw while seven of me best mates play MtG in the great room of a HUGE house in the Shenandoah Valley -- this is how life should always be, imo

The traditional NoVA lunch...

Amused because it seems that the ㊙️TOP SECRET㊙️ premium class hack SFO > IAD was independently discovered by three other mustachioed/bearded gays (that's 4 out of 21 seats, at least)

Posting about Discourse again? Skill issue imo

Muir Beach

You have been visited by The Professor... retweet if you agree...

(Some idiot with an official Eva magnet he bought in Hakone from the gift shoppe) I forgot that Tokyo-3 is Hakone

Nodding in agreement w @iotapup.bsky.social here

My secret? 🤫 dog shampoo

Just some random Niko pics for National Rescue Dog day 🐕🐕🐕

VNV Nation - Invictus really hitting me this morning fsr

Making pork adobo and feeling a bit sad for the many underappreciaters of bay leaves 😔 observing a moment of silence for them

A large corvid holding a (chicken) bone in its beak just landed on a perch outside our living room window and stared at me for a couple seconds before flying off. Guess my time's up!! 🐦‍⬛

Remembering when @aphyr.woof.group.ap.brid.gy and I took this from Osaka to Himeji 🥲 must have been in its first year of operations(?)

Fourteen-hour workday... めっちゃひどい...

Semester schools are done but you're not

I can't explain it, but there's something slutty about baseball caps where the underside of the bill is a diff color than the rest

Taps the sign... le sigh ;-)

Hoping tomorrow to wake up to some Good News 🥰🌸🌼🌻🌺🌷 It could happen!

My contribution to the Star Fox discourse 🦊🔝

Oddly laser-targeted random encounter yesterday

How I imagine all of you reading my little posts...

One of my flights back east kept being canceled-and-rebooked (presumably because of Current Events) and it led me to discover that I can get considerably better seats on the single 787 United flies back and forth between SFO and Dulles per day. A weird win(?) but I'm taking it! "Thanks for reading"

Paced myself this time, and finally done!

One feature Discord got right that should be replicated natively on all social media is the "mute for N hours" button

One of my favorite things about The Way We Live Now is how four bars of LTE now means "your phone doesn't fucking work at all" :)

It is endlessly funny to me that 90% of responses to any question posted to a stackexchange-type site on-line are "this is not where you should be posting that question"

Just found out who's been cast as Skeletor and I think everyone involved should feel very badly about it

Achievement unlocked: Managed to hit melee Limit Break while Alisaie was busy casting 🏆

Heading home after my first FanFest. 🥲✨

Who the hell is this guy

WHAT.

More LA! (While in line for the fanfest keynote)

In my defense, there's no Hector video out yet...

Armenian sandwich game remains undefeated as far as I am concerned

Treated to that classic LA flyover sight of bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 405 at half past two in the afternoon on a Thursday

I'm flying to Burbank in five hours, and the United app has informed me of gate changes about 15x (and counting) since I woke up this morning.

LRP: i love his fuzzy li'l ears

Chuff'd to report that the San Ho Won house menu is fully worth it, and that our perfect dinner there has completely refreshed the people's confidence in my restaurant-choosing powers

We've been discussing how to attract more students to the math major lately, and I know one thing for sure: making students learn what "mOdUs pOnEnS" is before having them actually prove anything interesting is a surefire way to be doing the opposite of that

Should I eat at María Isabel, San Ho Won, Lazy Bear, and Le Dräq all within the span of one week, or would I die 🦊🍽️

Every day It doesn't happen is another day this so-called God is weak on crime

I made a really nice and simple soup yesterday for the rainy weekend: andouille sliced into rounds, bit of garlic, a chopped-up head of cabbage, a bouillon cube, and a parmesan rind. Soup!

I think I might just call it a day, make some cornbread, and read some UKLG 😌
