Trying to stay sane in 2025 is like trying to stay dry in a thunderstorm by yelling at the clouds. It’s not working, but it feels productive.

This week in home improvement projects: I can literally touch grass in my backyard now. Gardens are up next.

Figma cooked this April fool’s joke.

Watching the @gettinglostdoc.com and reminded (once again) how good that moment in pop culture was, pre-binge tv, Twitter was so pure.

Happy #OpeningDay #Royals

End-to-end encryption is secure because it protects the contents of your communications in transit between the endpoints. If you make one of those endpoints an editor at The Atlantic, no amount of encryption is going to save you from your own stupidity.

45 today. Still learning, still growing, still occasionally overwhelmed by existence, but now I drink water, meditate, and exercise instead of spiraling. Progress.

Wildfires a state away are putting this thing to work.

How long until in-movie ads are dynamically themed with AI to match the movie you’re watching? Cyberpunk flick? Neon-drenched megacorp ads. Historical drama? Vintage product placements.

This weeks theme: Smart men making dumb choices while wearing excellent hats. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxFriday

I’d like to believe I manifested #TedLasso Season 4 when hanging this in my office last week.

Some products you buy, set up, and forget. Others, like the Mila air purifier, make you want to tweet about them immediately. 20 minutes in, and I already notice the difference. Minimalist design meets maximum impact. (Not a paid ad, just impressed.)

One year at Transient Labs… building, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible onchain. Grateful for this path, the team, and the artists shaping the future. Here’s to what’s next. #Web3 #Onchain

Our little BrunoRawrz taking in the sunshine and blue sky this afternoon. #dachshund #dogsofBluesky

tape haul

Raised her on creativity and craftsmanship. This weekend she’s building her own Widowmaker cosplay from the ground up. DIY genes are strong in this one. #cosplay #overwatch #dig

brunch with mrs.

We need more people like Frankie in the world.

@seanbonner.com good mail day from 🇨🇦 thank you for the extra bits. 🤘

The MAGA Trail

Feeling that perfect mix of nerves and excitement. Our first round of testing the Dynamic Art Engine has kicked off. Can’t wait to share what we’ve been building these last few months at transient.xyz and gather insights from the community to make it even better. #design #ux #ui #web3

Sometimes I wonder if my mom ever changed her mind about Trump (we haven’t talked in years, not out of anger, but survival). And then I remember: she once told me he was sent by God to ‘test our faith.’ So I guess we’re all failing?

Checked our new home address on DiedInHouse.com. No deaths. No ghosts. No lore. Huge letdown. Was hoping for at least one Victorian ghost to spice things up.

new profile for my design and art @mcmnmn.bsky.social

That’s more than enough doomscrollage, I will now slip into the weekend like a raccoon escaping into the night with a stolen sandwich.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Fantastic. Can’t wait for the executive order declaring ‘bigly’ an official adjective.

#LetterBoxdFriday #LastFourWatched

I have so many trailers to catch up to…

My pumpkins? Smashing

Turns out, when you replace vaccines with “Facebook Mom Science™” and essential oils, bad things happen. Who knew? Oh right… every doctor ever. So hey, maybe get your shots before we bring back polio and the bubonic plague. Vaccines work. Science is real. Stop being dumb. 🏥💉🧠

cooking…

Beautiful site and wonderful experience. “Midlife Engineering is a space where calm meets ambient clarity.” www.midlife.engineering

Incredible sentence. No notes. Just a perfect snapshot of 2025: AI, censorship, billionaires, and feet pics.

Love when a billionaire buys a major newspaper and then just casually announces, ‘Hey, just a heads up, we’ll be shifting to full-time bootlicking.’ Non surprises found.

good morning from my good boi Waylon

Booted up Death Stranding for some escapism, but halfway through I realized I, too, am carrying too much weight, surviving on canned goods, and terrified of what’s waiting outside my door. 😫

The year is 2035. The last remaining human coder has died. AI is now generating its own AI models. No one knows how anything works anymore. We live in a society. futurism.com/young-coders...

Coming soon: Trump and Musk: the unstoppable farce meets the immovable ego.🍿 www.reuters.com/world/us/som...

Me, reading the ‘asteroid won’t hit us’ update: ‘Oh… cool. Yeah, no, that’s great. Haha. So great. We’re all so lucky. Haha. Yep.’ stares blankly out the window

TIL that in 1518, Strasbourg experienced a “Dancing Plague” where hundreds of people danced uncontrollably for days… some even danced to death. youtu.be/nM4okRvCg2g?...

Thank God. As long as kids are still investigating possibly cursed objects with sticks, there’s hope for the future. Now if we can just get them to start building structurally unsound bike ramps again, we might actually heal as a nation.
