Happy birthday to my birthday twin Gritty @nhl-flyers.bsky.social! (Still angling for a joint birthday party…)

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Park Rangers are a national treasure. They just want you to love the national parks and forests as much as they do, and see whatever cool animal you want to see, and appreciate and take advantage of the conservation done for you by past generations, and by us for future generations.

none of the gotcha examples of "out-of-control scientific spending" bother me in the slightest. isn't science about finding shit out? "they spent a million dollars of taxpayer money to see if they could make mice sexier" okay, well, what was the answer? I want to know too

I have just missed seeing a moose twice, and two other people I’ve met on trails have seen moose in those spots on a different day. The moose refuse to let me see them. What have I done? I’m just simply going to kill myself. What is there to live for if you in particular are hated by the moose? 😭

If I stop having Stendhal’s looking at mountains or the ocean or the Milky Way painted across a night sky, just bury me, I’m out of life

The fucking finger guns lmao

Please come watch my second favorite Canadian sit at a table.

Seattle, here I come! Headed to Pax West. Who’s gonna be there? 👋🏻

I really hope @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 's team sees this because they have the opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time, and put this out themselves...

Game on.

Just learned Jason's pup Hank has a brother who lives down the street and they get to see each other every week and my heart is full-t'-burstin' 🥲

If you need something happy and calming to accompany you this workday, or just want to feel the warm fuzzies, the Never Post crew is showing off their pets on camera... www.twitch.tv/theneverpost

GRAND CENTRAL HACK THE PLANET

Saw a Highland Cow for the 1st time. He spotted me admiring him from afar, came right up to greet me, & huffed out his nose in request for pets. Reader, he was behind *an electric fence* so I could not pet him. I fear my heart is permanently broken. I suffered irreparable psychic damage today 😭

When you say “I miss the good old days” you mean “I want to go back to being a kid with no knowledge of world affairs.” When I say “I miss the good old days” I mean that one specific 3-month period where the entire world was playing Pokémon Go and we had one glorious summer of camaraderie.

mute thread? don’t mind if I do. mute that one too? you know it big man. thread? replies? buddy you know how we roll

Reposting for those who don’t have insomnia

I'm officially taking my cross-country road trip from Washington to Michigan. Hit me with your music recommendations, specific tracks or solid no-skips albums. What's your Push Through This Leg jams? Your Enjoy The Beautiful Night Drive ambiance? Your Wake Up Excited bangers? Your Sing-Along songs?

trying to create a third position between "nimbyism" and "yimbyism" where i think building new stuff is good but i think that the new stuff that is getting built is bad because it looks stupid and is usually built really poorly

I’m like a bird in the sense that I will scream at you if I want to fuck

Michaels Design Team Lead: "We want a Halloween bird. In a costume. A mummy or something." Designer: *sweating* "Okay." Lead: "You've seen birds before, right?" Designer: *sweating more* "Of--of course."

Going to reactivate WoW while no one's looking and sort my bank before doing real work... heh heh heh... playin' hooky...

Tonight at 8, friends & foes!

I'm working on the pre-announcing thing... Stream tomorrow night at 8p ET! Same stream time, same stream station. I'm missing The Mountain Goats & Guster for you, so please clap. I've got some projects that have EOM deadlines, so let's be creative/productive together www.twitch.tv/asclearascry...

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

Your semi-regular plug for Dr Nerdlove (www.doctornerdlove.com) who is *amazing* at offering compassionate, practical advice that is not shy about calling out toxic masculinity and implicit misogyny and working to decouple masculinity from both of them.

Gonna repost a couple times because of the chrome timeline and my wee hours posting

If we really want to settle on other worlds and turn humanity into a spacefaring society, we need to spend at least as much on poets as we do on physicists.

Hey nerds, @neverpo.st is doing podcasts different, in ways I can’t enumerate within 1 post. They’re out of official runway fundage & are hoping to keep cruising with the support of listeners 🫵🏻 Please consider slipping them a tip or a sub if you can afford it, because I selfishly want more episodes.

The more I hear it, the more clear it becomes that “I want to go back to when everything was good” is really “I want to go back before I was forced to confront that anything at all was bad.” Maybe they had it right the first time, nostalgia is a mental illness.

Contemplating a road trip from Seattle to Detroit in September. It’s really hard to balance enough planning and research with too much planning and research.

Fellas, trust me, you're thinking about this all wrong, ladies don't care if you're tall or short, rich or poor, handsome or not, they aren't about such shallow things, they only care about one thing and that is that you leave them alone

Me: Tending my biological imperatives in peace My cat:

That we lost Andrea Gibson today makes me furious with grief. The world is unfair. I am heartbroken right now.

As always, "people used to be fine without" (and its close cousin, "people elsewhere are fine without") only works when you decode "fine" as "the suffering is invisible to me, which must mean it did not/does not exist."

Remember ladies, you can't spell judgement without Judge Men.

I can’t sleep, gonna harass a friend in public. @foldablehuman.bsky.social when are you gonna do a video on Spence Diamonds decades-long insane lore soap opera commercials?

Mall's open! I'm wolfing down the last few bites of velveeta shells and cheese but sparing you that visual and AntiSMR... BRT!

Gs, Gs, NBPs — See y’all at 8 on the ol’ stream station. I haven’t picked a game yet, so we’ll see where the wind blows us. Meet ya in the mall atrium! twitch.tv/asclearascry...

Stream tomorrow! Same stream time, same stream station. (I'm getting better at figuring out what days to stream, but I'm apparently still very bad at announcing it on the social media...)

Back on my ancient bullshit... @clearascrystal.bsky.social and @foldablehuman.bsky.social

Stream time going off the rails, and yet perfectly on topic, as usual

Meet me at the food court so we can ride the carousel at 830, okay?

Hey y’all let’s hang and be productive tonight! I’m gonna work on stream things like updating alerts, my Elgato deck, and other such fiddly bits. You bring something you’ve been putting off doing, and we’ll get it done together 💪🏻 Stream at 830p ET, same stream station. twitch.tv/asclearascry...

The “iF iT’s GLoBaL wArMiNG, tHeN wHy iS WiNtEr sOoO cOoOoLd” crowd real fuckin’ quiet during these insane heat and humidity waves 🤔
