Saw an amazing run-in between an outdoor cat and raccoon last night. I'm sure which one of them was most suprised/scared by the other.

I have this sort of voyeuristic thing about 'urbanists' on social media. I like observing their habits. The most noticeable seems to be writing incredible run-on/comma-spliced sentences. I dunno, man, try using a period. I thought you all didn't like sprawl.

In a way I feel bad for Lalas. His guaranteed position at Fox has made him lazy. He hasn't had to grow or work on his act. He's stuck in 2015 with 'epic bacon 'murica!'. Then you put him around two serious broadcast analysts and a man with loads of charisma and he just looks like a pud.

Spent a week not looking at the internet. There's just so little of value here. I hope this and most other websites collapse into irrelevance.

You can just watch AFCON any time. They do it every few years and it's great.

I was just in Pittsburgh/Western PA. They seem to love blue curaçao there. It is kinda funny. It was at every bar. If you're ever in PGH, go to Ruggers. A rugby/pro wrestling bar that's also very lgbtq+ friendly. I absolutely loved the place and went three times in four days.

Cheers!

Curaçao has a lot of sax in their anthem. More anthems should have sax as the main instrument. Brass bands are too nationalist.

Holy shit Pittsburgh is an amazing city with exquisite vibes.

Appointment viewing for me every time I visit. The low light in which it is presented in the gallery just makes it electric.

Googling 'travel size barometer'.

Disappointed in myself for only learning today that Enuff Z'Nuff is from Blue Island.

Sorry, I'm the one killing this website.

This rocks.

In just a few days, I'll be riding a bicycle over one of the continental divides. I can't wait!

I am at the mekons show in Evanston, having won tickets from CHIRP (Thanks CHIRP!). Still looking around but I suspect I am the youngest attendee.

Spurs, man.

Hey Chicago friends: I won a pair of tickets to see mekons tomorrow at Space in Evanston. If you would like my spare, I'm happy to share! Similarly, if you know someone cool, I'm good there too.

Man, the AI World Cup ad for Missouri sucks a lot.

Yes.

Had a dream last night that tangentially involved Steve Malkmus. He said, "Hi, I'm Steve" And I said, "Yeah, I know"

What I'd like to see is some interrogation of who the hell wants this. I want to better understand who they are and what is wrong with them. Reporting something like this with a shrug like it is rain on a holiday is useless. apnews.com/article/ai-a...

Just watched a movie with a credited Rollerblade Consultant.

In the "loudly doing phone interviews in my office" part of this job.

It is Layoffs Day at work. I think I escaped (but to what end?). Reading this definitely helps a little. Highly relevant to what I'm dealing with today.

The CEO of my company 'made' an AI agent that is just some crap stolen from github that functions as answering machine for slack and gmail. He's parading around like a cat with a dead bird. Loser behavior in every way. (And I think a microcassette answering machine used less electricity)

Shopping around for a cult to join. Anyone have any ideas?

the fuck it will

My favorite part about sports now is never having any clue what station they'll be on. Keeps things zesty and has reacquainted me with the pirate websites/streamers of my 20s.

Is someone in your life wearing a Burzum patch/shirt? I offer a free scared-straight service where I'll explain how people could get the wrong idea about the wearer's politics and how, with detailed examples, Varg is a whiny loser.

Asian Man Records is 30, daaaaaang! Gonna have to think of my favorite records in those thirty years. Or maybe I'll revisit my favs in a sort of chronological process.

Company that sells service says you need their service. This isn't news. There's no methodology in this assessment. It is just a press release from an interested party presented as fact.

Having a nice, cold Pepsi and wathcing a Jason Statham movie on Tubi.

Has anyone done some well-researched writing on the 'gyros babes' posters you'd see all over the Chicagoland area?

Bike ride to Kenosha day.

Anyone know anybody called 'Tug'?

Today's #cf97 stadium press release does not change my plans to refer to it as "the Chicago Fire stadium".

Got some very exciting mail today and, just by chance, opened the book to this page. Asian Man Records and bands have been a through line with so many of the coolest, kindest, and most interesting people I've met over the last 30 years. So stoked to read this. Thanks @mikehuguenor.bsky.social !!

Thinking about buying some clogs.

Kinda hope we're headed another New Age (and not the fash-coded beef fat eugenics) so I can be a motivational speaker/guru advising people to make sure "the computer works for you, not the other way around" and other things of this sort. I think I'd be pretty good at it.

They should set aside a screen at one of these megaplex theaters that just plays movies from Tubi. Just buy your ticket and walk in whenever. I don't even care if they have the ads.

Damn, I thought I was paying $200 to see the Jellyroll Rockheads at the Colts' stadium. I charged back my ticket. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey so when is the next trucker convoy/protest over fuel costs? I wanna get in on that.

Also put some Peychaud bitters in a Faygo Rock & Rye. Divine stuff, woopwoop. it's the night of lil treats while watching basketball!

Anyone else a sucker for the fancy grapes at the store? Maybe a couple times a year I consider it a lil treat. An eight dollar treat.

May Day greetings and solidarity from Chicago, the city that gave you the reason for the season. I'm about to head out to visit the martyrs' graves then I'll be at Union Park. If you see me, say hey.

Made chili while listening to ZZ Top. Again.

POW MIA flags are so funny, it’s like every post office having a flag that says “chemtrails”
