Well, got the younger’s penalty for “hacking” into a classmate’s Chromebook down from a total ban to “when there is free time he’ll read a book instead of using his computer.

Started writing some bits down to try to start this whole “go for your dream” thing. “A lot of people asked me why, at the age of 44, I would do this. Stand in front of people and embarrass myself. I’m in my 40s. I’m trying to find a good weed hookup.”

My shrink told me I should write a tight 5 and start going to open mics. Just so we know who to blame.

See? Nothing there. Now back to Infrastructure Week.

Some people (my spouse) would argue I shouldn’t watch wrestling when I’m not fully sober. I think I was on fire. (Note: primarily AEW knowledge, still learning wwe because AEW Reddit has radicalized me against the product. Some people are just too rabid.)

There’s a reason mega-churches are rarely near mass transit.

As a species we have got to stop making new kinds of dogs, right? It just feels like a thing we shouldn’t fly too close to the sun about.

Really seems like the worst part of AEW is the fans. I can love a promotion and want it to MASSIVELY succeed while also pointing out out where it could improve, to me, a consumer.

@scalzi.com well I hope you’re happy with what you’ve done.

The fact that my brief run as quartermaster of my boy scout troop means I know more about Pete Hegseth should terrify everyone not planning to fight a war against the US.

You guys remember when the feds found that huge cell bot farm and told us all it was terrorism against the UN? And any second now the entire NYC cell network would be destroyed? No?

Ooh - 15 minute call with head of sales in an hour. That probably means good news.

I gotta say - Moxley has never been my cup of tea - but this segment with Darby is pretty great. Still don’t need the gratuitous blood though.

Me: you can’t do it that way. Coworker: but AI says to do it this way. M: ok - but I’m telling you I know this program and that won’t work. Fast forward to meeting where coworker tries to do it the AI way. C: hmm, why isn’t this working? M: really? This has been an issue for 7 years. Listen to me.

Yes BMW SUV - you are the only one who knows the parking secret and not the 50 cars in line to pick up kids from school. You race up to the front and wedge yourself in.

Signs things aren’t going well at work: 1. Your boss says “I have been wrong about everything so far.”

Local mutual fund manager caught moonlighting as John Prine’s drummer. Local fund manager/drummer revealed to be love child of Jeremy Irons and Hank Azaria.

Does Kenny think they actually have to tell us they’re a cop if we ask?

So my childhood friend I dumped because of his racism is now, in his 40s, involved in some sort of power struggle within an Arizonan purebred German dog sanctioning group. And he sued to force them to have new elections? So you know, the more things change and whatnot.

@mattielubchansky.com @raaleh.bsky.social @postoctobrist.bsky.social Item! Mayoral porch pirate! (Yeah it was probably misdelivered, but this is Texas, you don’t walk up to someone else’s house and take things without knocking.) we bought this house from him and he lives next door unfortunately.

Shoutout to recalling an email actually working.

Let your haters be your waiters at your Seders of success.

I was ASSURED that getting my name in The Book of Life after a revival in the 7th grade would get me VIP access to the rapture. I’m still corporeal and waiting!

It’s just Tony Soprano’s IT closet. It’s not a terrorist cell planning to blow up the UN.

There won’t be any way to disprove this rapture bullshit because none of the people “worried” about it have a chance of being taken.

Tom Servo is wonderful, but there’s a reason I always identified with Crow.

Hell is full so all the damned are flooding social media.

Really making a great world for our kids, huh?

In college I briefly dated a girl who’s favorite band was Kottonmouth Kings and I thought we could still make it work.

We can’t spend money on children’s cancer research but we sure as shit can fly the corpse of a Nazi around on the govt dime.

Ezra Klein liked and admired Charlie Kirk, who hated my trans child, so I'm going to view this as a display of true Ezra's character. You can apply this to every single centrist/liberal pundit or publication celebrating him. Got it. Message received.

What if the shooter is Murry from Impractical Jokers?

The program no longer being offered for autistic kids does NOT mean they don’t need the program anymore. Fuck this hateful anti-science government.

I imagine that it gave Charlie Kirk great pleasure to die as a martyr to the god of death he worshipped. I wish instead he could have died another way: of old age, peacefully, in a country where all his work had come to nothing, and he himself completely forgotten.

Like the United CEO - do I approve of extra-judicial vigilante shootings - no. Random assassinations don’t help (this is not a condemnation of all political violence). But do I feel bad for ppl like Kirk when shit that they have openly helped to continue finally happens to them? Also no.

Holy shit - do NOT seek out the close up video.

FUCK ICE

Nothing like working for a PEO (company that provides HR services) that doesn’t even have an internal anonymous reporting process.

MCA: when I rock the mic it's such a Beastie Boys: THRILL Ad-Rock: we hate J K Rowling and Beastie Boys: WISH HER ILL

My birdfeeder camera delivering my spirit animal.

Me: I want to take Monday off. Boss: ok, why? Me: mental health day (actually interviewing at another job) Boss: you know if you were just positive you wouldn’t need to take mental health days. You just need to make yourself stay happy. Me: uh huh. So I won’t be here on Monday.

Everyone furiously looking up “do chronic vein problems in the legs result in death?”

Are they gonna get color on the rizzler?

I’m starting to think wrestling might not be as real as they say it the Costco guy is able to throw pros out of the ring.

Nothing like starting a new month by having a project you did a ton of legwork on be labeled “done” and credited to someone else when basic issues I raised months ago still haven’t been corrected. So we can do all the work, but lose 95% of the data. Great work corporate America.

Just found out there’s a “Texas Book Co) in Dallas and I gotta imagine their tagline is, “no, not that one.”

@margaret.bsky.social not me leaving the ephemera from my Immortal Choir package around the house for my spouse to find and ponder:)

It should’ve been Mike Love.
