Randomly thinking about how the entire reason trump wants to dominate the arts is because he fundamentally doesn't get the arts.

Three weeks from now I'll be on vacation. Four weeks from now I'll be starting my job search in earnest.

I need to send 1 follow up at work and attend/lead 1 meeting and that's really it for the day. My #agenda for other things? Busy. ✅ Walk * Gym * Bake cookies ✅ Tidy ✅ Finance * Chappy hour * Wrap presents

The days are getting longer, spring is around the corner.

I don't even know how to describe the ways we have failed as a society.

Dinner is either going to be a burger, a different burger, or going home for leftover pizza. I'm clearly feeling creative

Dang I'm going to miss @rileybruce.bsky.social and the other market people at Venn brewing by the time I get the last few things done. Still think I could go for a few beers today though.

It's gonna be a busy day so let's do an #agenda: * Gym * Dishes * Cookie dough * Tidy * Finance * Alarms * Wrap gifts * Meal plan * Wash bedding * Groceries * ?

Figures that after 6ish hours of sleep I'm wide awake an hour and some before I actually have to be.

I'm punchy, better go to bed.

I'm not really around smokers anymore but my friend really does smell like an ashtray. I would definitely not be able to kiss that.

I love my friends and I am looking forward to dropping them off at some point.

Amazon: thanks to your recent electronics purchase you get 60 days of audible for free which will auto renew at $14.95/month Me: I haven't purchased any electronics from you in a long time? Amazon: please, we need subscription revenue.

Hard to have a normal #agenda with friends here till some point later today. * Walk * Tidy * Finance * Whatever they want to do daytime * Drop friends in the northern burbs But first, coffee

I'm being nice and sacrificing my comfort for my friends. I set the thermostat to 64 overnight instead of my normal 62.

My Portland friends are here for a night and I can hear one of them snoring despite being on a completely separate floor.

Three work things left for the day, need to pick up friends from the airport, see my barber... Not sure what else but the goal is to do the least.

Another day of shoveling. After I finish my coffee.

Last night I was bumpsy and today I've got the morbs.

Seems I will probably be waiting until @ifixit.com has some sort of discount code, its hard to justify spending $75 for a replacement battery right now with everything else going on.

I've realized I really do hate my job and it's not a job I ever wanted. Like I was reorganized into this tile. But it's hard to find a new job as well which also sucks.

Man, people who didn't clear their walks effectively really want pedestrians to die when this all freezes back up.

As someone who once owned a Honda motorcycle and a Toyota car at the same time, the holiday season is busy when you have to celebrate multiple holidays. Honda days was usually easier than toyotathon.

I need to get a Brittney playlist going just so that when I pick my friends up at the airport I can point out that "Its Brittney bitch"

Me heading into 2026

Yeah I aint watching that shit.

Somebody at this bar mentioned the grizzlies and why that's their name and Google didn't even return the wiki for the team at first.

Still thinking about going and getting pizza (and buying a gift card at the same time)

More and more I find myself trying to move away from the common solutions and to self hosted things which is really a can of worms I am not always sure why I am opening.

Trying to decide where to go for happy hour and also if I want to get a pizza out tonight. Its nice to have the day off sometimes.

I want this to be a lesson for people: Sometimes you can solve your problems by hitting them with a hammer.

Ok agenda for the rest of my day: * Hot tub * Try to help my aunt with her insurance * Tidy * Cookie dough? * Happy hour * Job thoughts for the future * ?

I didn't realize my friend had had his Kia stolen 9 times. Including the night before he participated in a press conference about stolen kias.

Ok lets get a quick work out in then try to help my aunt. I am stressed about what I will find when I get there.

The 1.5lb rubber mallet I bought years ago at harbor freight has been absolutely worth it. I just used it to pound a loose piece of siding back into place.

Around noon I am going to try and help my aunt with stuff and I should really go to the gym ahead of time. I just kind of don't want to.

I've come to the conclusion that all these companies are into findom and bezos give me a billion dollars you filthy little pig.

Stuff like this is why I told my therapist that even when it happens, things won't be better. We have to continue fighting to make them better.

Reddit is (still) decent for answers to niche questions and fucking terrible for scrolling.

I have like ... Half of my mother's gift and struggling with the rest.

My internet is being weirdly slow today and no clue WHY that is but its certainly annoying to me.

I don't feel like going to Puerto Vallarta alone for my birthday. Hrm.

Who is going to primary the klob? We deserve better.

Fuck I am exhausted. See how I feel tomorrow I guess.

I've not only been here I am here right now!

Gofundme for him and his family. A million of these out there.

I might force people to go to this on Saturday.

The general gist of things seems to be "The beatings will continue until morale improves" which always ends up well for everyone.

I got whammed, if the "pudding mix" counts.
