Have made better connections with guys with actual hobbies like photography, baking, and model trains than guys who consider going to the gym or playing video games to be “hobbies”.

When I was born, this is what was playing on Kmart speakers a couple miles away...

Where's the petition to get Rank Choice Vote in California? ...because this election is all kinds of f'd up and makes it blatantly obvious that RCV is necessary.

What happens when the lard-ass in chief doesn’t do it? Everyone shrugs and moves on? …again?

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Whenever you see "Trans" in a news story, replace it with "Jew" or "Black" and see how it sounds.

The Amazon app has a feature where you can upload a photo of yourself and see what you’d look like wearing the article of clothing you’re looking at. …which has made me try to find the most ridiculous item of clothing I can. (Sadly, it seems costumes don’t work.)

It feels inhumane that you can’t opt out of commercials for addictive products. People should be able to one-click their way out of ever seeing ads for stuff like alcohol, drugs, and sports betting on apps and streaming services. This shouldn’t be controversial at all and should be very easy to do.

I want to go to a Red Sox game and have a Fenway Frank!

I’ve been spending the weekend writing a book from scratch and accidentally invented a superhero. Went back and rewrote the beginning and am fixing some backstory and establishing an outline for the rest before finishing the story. I’m open to movie deals. Hollywood, hit me up!

Hey dealerships! You want to compete with Carvana? Cut the bullshit.

For the @wired.com Big Interview this week, I interviewed California gubernatorial hopeful and billionaire Tom Steyer. It was a tough hang for many reasons, but particularly because he didn't know who he was talking to.

Follow the clues, gumshoe!

Sometimes tiktok is good

If you are a Maine voter and would like to express your displeasure about Maine Dems’ decision and politely urge them to include me, you can email Devon: [email protected]. She’s the director of Maine Dems.

Okay, I’m no tech expert, but I’m confused. I see anti-AI people saying not to use it. If you hate AI and want the companies to burn, maybe you SHOULD use it…but don’t pay for it. Use up your quota constantly. Cost them money. Seems like it should be easy to drive up their costs so they collapse!

Name a song with girl in the title but replace with squirrel Squirrels Just Wanna Have Fun

Yet another reason why I am zero tolerance on AI.

How long until people cross out “Thank” and put another word ending in “k”?

Good thing I fly United. I’d prefer to have them destroy my luggage and then be beaten up and dragged out of my seat for boarding wearing leggings than go without a snack on a short flight. 😆 [kidding]

I’m having the weirdest case of déjà vu…

I wish I could pay only $4.46/gal! …or bought an electric car two years ago. (Didn’t feel the need since mine still runs fine.)

Well, cross the old lady off the list. Now Maine is down to the nazi, loser, and the cool union member who’s a write-in.

It’s that day of the year again! See you outside…

Small sketchbooks recommendation thread!! This one will be a bit longer as I'll go more in details and you'll have to witness my old art lol 🧵 ⬇️ I'll also post tutorials to easy bookbinding! Recs are welcome!

Some suggestions for notebooks in pocket format that are NOT Moleskine. It's a thread 🧵 ⬇️

I want to I hand this book to an architect and say, “I want my living room to look like this!”

The photo doesn’t match the quote. That’s Senator Angus King (I-ME), not “Auchincloss, who is 38”. 😅

you just lost my respect my guy #antiai

Is there an option to turn off the carousel and keep the existing display? Not a fan of the new thing which keeps images off screen unless I scroll sideways. Terrible user interface decision!

Stealing this faster than ai steals people’s art

Bluesky mentioned! #TheDailyShow #Waffles

Look I think it’s obvious he’s a dipshit chud. I don’t think he’s going to be a total fraud like Fetterman — think he’s a classic radicalized vet who remains an asshole. Senator Platner will be quite the experience!

New pizza place menu, village block party, rec league baseball signups, charity 5K, scouting event, library fundraiser: suddenly every good, human-scaled thing has the same obnoxious AI-slop poster art, and I hate it hate it hate it

Ugh… Appointment with my accountant tomorrow for taxes. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great guy and knows his stuff. (SO much better than when I was with H&R Block!) …but I hate having to track down all my documents. I always feel like I’m forgetting some.

Convention going 101, if a convention invites this guy knowing what we know now, DON'T TOUCH IT WITH A 10 MILE POLE.

Think of an impeachment vote as a way to generate material for ads and then we’re getting somewhere with these people who don’t want to try anything ever. “Katie Britt voted for Oklahoma farmers to pay $9.00 a gallon for gas!” Etc. Then even a losing vote has a purpose.

Honestly, Iran can just sit back and watch because the GOP is fucking up this country more than any of their bombs ever could. It’s going to take generations to undo all the damage!

If he turns it into a prison again, that’s where we’ll put him and his administration when this is over. People can still take tours. For an extra $5, you can throw paper towels at him.

Try extending that graph to the left. There's a reason it was truncated there. This is a perfectly normal usage profile. Whenever a user joins a given site, there's a standard falloff curve where a fraction leaves. Since Bluesky's users have mainly come in spikes, that's just the normal curve.

In my opinion, America would be a lot better off with more teachers and health experts in Washington and fewer lawyers and career politicians. #mepolitics

Working a big catering job this weekend. It means I couldn’t go to Anime Boston this weekend, but I was able to get my flight moved and will visit my parents in Maine instead!

“We’re going back to the moon!” No, we’re not. They’re flying BY the moon and coming back home. Let’s say I drove by my ex-boyfriend’s place without stopping there and then headed straight home, that wouldn’t get me my hoodie back. Actually going there is a lot more difficult. Same with the moon.

Maine has Ranked Choice Voting. You can vote a non-Nazi tattoo and non-octogenarian as your first choice for Senator without any risk! …because there ARE other options!
