“Hey, cool car. Be a shame if someone had to… put their bins out.” (It’s me. I’m someone. The someone with the bins is me. I have to put the bins out.)

Same vibe.

See, *this* is how you sell me on a shirt.

“I swear this area is 80% thrift shops by volume now, it sucks.” “But don’t you love thrift shops?” “No, I love *junk* shops, totally different! I don’t want shrink-wrapped sneakers and bootleg t-shirts and $400 denim jackets, I want this!”

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

My neighbour is a charcoal bbq-er par excellence and he’s very free in offering the stuff he makes, but he always offers right after I’ve eaten dinner and can’t think of another bite 😭😭😭

Threw on NXT R-Evolution with Hiro. Despite having only seen local family-friendly Lucha shows, he instantly understood: - Kevin Owens as “an angry bear” - Lucha Dragons vs Vaudevillains - Baron Corbin as “a lone wolf” And especially - Finn Balor as the Demon. Local 8-year-olds popped for that.

To the people who have come out of the woodwork at light speed to declare that the brand-new day-old Taylor Swift album is “trash, absolute trash!”, i say…

My orange bitters had gone bad so I subbed in some peach bitters in the cocktail recipe i was trying out and that was A Mistake because i like the cocktail but i can distinctly taste where the orange bitters would have gone left and instead the peach bitters go right.

I bought coffee beans online and didn’t like the blend and when they sent me a review link i was honest and rated it 2 stars and got an email from the guy who asked how i was making it so i told him and he gave me some detailed advice and I’m gonna try it his way and tell him because he seems nice.

I nearly bought this on Sunday.

I often hold this up as the riff that made me a full-on MST3K fan when I bought the VHS from the basement music store down the road from the university of Ottawa. Before then, I’d only seen the movie, and the Unearthly, but Catalina Caper’s joke density got its hooks into me deep.

lead singer: ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???? me in the pit trying to clean the front of my glasses w my tshirt: JUST A SEC, BUD

As an anniversary gift from Kimiko, I got a “oh, go on” to the record rummage at the rocks. I bought four records from a 76 year-old man who had driven down from Canberra, and was rewarded with roughly 400 dad jokes. A good time.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Legitimacy considering this as a tattoo.

Always remember the three rules of the mosh pit: 1. If someone falls pick them up. 2. If someone wants in, let them in. 3. If someone wants out, let them out.

Lord Forgive Me But Its Time To Go Back To The Old Me*. *listening to music on studio monitor headphones plugged into a digital media player l

You know, I’m kind of glad that in the back half of my 30s into my early 40s, I’ve become someone who will absolutely cry at a movie.

Oh hey, I organised my pantry and threw out everything expired and it only took me like 25 minutes. Go figure.

@mattdwilson.net Hey Matt, you’ve got a smoker, right? Is it a pellet smoker, and if so, is it good/easy to use? I’ve been eyeing one up for a while now, and I’m considering one for summer.

Sitting on the train and noticed this Dare I pull off the forbidden screen protector

Look, LUSH aren’t perfect on everything, but it did make me happy to see this right out front in their window display.

Dali print, Escher print, Pulp Fiction poster, random crap cut out of magazines and taped to the wall, bits of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide prose written on bits of masking tape, green Christmas lights.

My glasses are never going to be clean enough for the brightness of my new TV.

I wonder why all these great indie games are coming out of Australia where they have a massive public funding effort for videogame creators

Not me learning in September twenty twenty-five that the “Dawn” in Tony Orlando & Dawn wasn’t a lady but was a rotating group of musicians and singers to avoid a contract-related conflict of interest.

Using my brand-new OLED TV to watch episodes of Dragnet from 1952 I found on the Internet archive just to feel something

Got a new TV that I’ve been dreaming about for fiveish years delivered today & set it all up & was super happy then wanted to know what one setting meant & found myself on a subreddit of people arguing over what warmth point setting is the best & how everyone else is stupid & now I’m just tired.

All of the gibberish versions of old Norse, ancient Egyptian, or Ancient Greek from Age of Mythology. Prostegma? Voulameh. Ey-yu refeer.

Kimiko has been reading Hiro the first Percy Jackson book before bedtime and yesterday I had to yell from the other room to correct a pronunciation. No, not any of the Greek gods or monsters’ names, but that pinochle is pronounced “pea-knuckle”. Neither of them believed me!

It’s the lad himself!! JoJo is so good, I’ve been showing this drawing to everyone.

Kimiko’s phone played “Takin’ Back What’s Mine” by Leah Haywood, and I can only describe it as “we have Britney Spears at home”.

Father’s Day started at 6, because Hiro was so excited. Got an oven mitt, a Pom Poko t-shirt, & a cologne Hiro spent 40 minutes with a David Jones lady picking out (a Montblanc one, very fitting). Spent the morning reading comics, drinking coffee & playing records. Then pancakes & croissants. A+.

Earlier today when I reached into my bag, a corner of a plastic package jabbed under my thumbnail. It hurt, but not as much as when I remember this happened. I remembered, because I was de-seeding a chilli, and was suddenly reminded. Ow.

Missed a my midday dose for the first time since being medicated 2 weeks ago then tried to cook dinner and jeeeeezus i really used to walk around trying to do stuff like this huh

I often see parents bemoaning kids wearing superhero costumes like Superman or Spider-Man or Batman for Book Week, and every time I’m like “…do they not know?”

Me: Oh, you’re watching Masters of the Air? Them: Yeah, I just finished it. Me: It’s good, right? I liked it a lot. Then: Yeah, so good! Me: 😏 Them: What Me: There he is. The stone in my shoe. Them: aaaaaaaa 😭 Me: aaaaaaaaa 😭

Me: I thought Taylor swift was with that football guy Kimiko: what Me: yeah, him from the podcast, but in this song she’s really high on this Conner guy K: what Me: yeah, she’s like “Conner is my boyfriend, Conner is a god, Conner is the breeze in my hair on the weekend” K: … Me: … K: I hate you

How do I tell the cool teens that hang out at the local boost juice that the current mixture of styles on trend right now has recreated the Dollmaker Website Aesthetic™️

If anyone forgot their… power hammer? Drill press? Canning machine? I found it here in the parking lot.

Sometimes I think I’m kind of smart and then other times, like yesterday, I realise that the Beatles are spelled that way because of like, a drum beat. Like the Beat-les. August 29th, 2025, I realised this.

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!
