I really hate how AI generated video is starting to rune the genre of cute animal videos. They're cute because they give us an insight into the minds of creatures we can't directly communicate with, if they're just scenarios concocted by a human it takes all the magic away.

I love seeing cat prints in the snow because it conjures images of a little guy on a little adventure, but also I want to bring them all inside to keep their little feets warm.

Why would I want to follow my bank on TikTok?

Office hero, I roasted TWO thanksgiving turkeys in the office for the potluck lunch today.

I haven't changed the bedroom clock for daylight savings so I feel less bad about going to bed at 7:50

Thank you to the good Samaritan on this train, warning people that the empty seat is empty for a reason

Just as pernicious as the market fundamentalism being decried here is its exact opposite being advocated for: The thought that under no circumstances can a market solve any problem.

Out of morbid curiosity, I clicked the button in Google Drive labelled "Turn this PDF into an engaging discussion" and to my absolute horror, the generated audio file is basically like a podcast episode about this document.

Becoming a person that says "Happy Friday!" and I... don't like it.

How does anyone take a "quick shower" as soon as I get under that warm water time stops and I never want to leave.

Its a day that ends in Y, so time for Will Stancil to go to war against people who think "things are overall better these days" means the same thing as "there are no problems these days"

Bringing this map over from the bad place

Nothing I love more than watching the campaigns that lost treat it like it's a huge win (except for the very minor fact that they lost the election)

I'm gonna use this all year

These Food Network competition shows where some of the contestants happen to be immigrants are low key some of the most patriotic things on television.

For Reasons I am temporarily driving an enormous pickup truck and whoa boy does it suck.

Honestly hard to know who hates the "concept" of America more, the far right or the far left.

A literal @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social prompt come to life

My updates at the company all hands are a lot easier if I just imagine them as a prompt from @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social

Thinking about the 2050 comp plan update is giving me Pre Traumatic Stress Disorder

Nearly everything downtown is still closed at 6:30 AM

The Blue Line does feel noticeably smoother this morning. Though displays at Lake St were 50 minutes behind with no arrival information. Franklin seems to be working so that's just localized to Lake St.

People have put literal trash in my compost and recycling bin, which is exactly what I want to be dealing with tonight on trash night

Metro Transit seems to have done an excellent job doing the work that necessitated the shutdown, so it's baffling that they seem to be so consistently bad at communicating the details of the shutdown.

Why are we all forced to tolerate Pizza Luce? What is it about their creative toppings that REQUIRES the crust to be so dry and awful?

Why do our regular route buses rattle so much? It's like the shocks are optimized to not handle the roads and then every single panel intentionally had 1 screw left out so everything is a little loose. ABRT buses aren't like this, the shocks are better and they don't rattle at all.

The downside of going to bed at 8 PM is waking up at 3:30 AM

Every pundit needs to spend some time covering local land use and transportation, it's the best way to learn about what it means to have a Political Enemy

Lol at Metro Transit sending an ABRT bus (that has no fare machine) to for Blue Line replacement service, and putting a team of Trip Agents asking people if they paid their fare (which they can't, because there's no fare machine). Just stupendous communication and coordination here.

Really enjoying this UNANNOUNCED Hiawatha LRT Trail shut down, perfect topping to the shit sundae of the Blue Line shut down.

Fine nextdoor email, "My sister has been murder" is gonna get me to login. You win.

Finally, a vacuum for women

An announcement about the UPCOMING blue line shut down being immediately followed by an announcement that the blue line is shut down is not giving me a lot of faith in Metro Transit's ability to actually pull this off.

Remember the last time we did this? In 2020 when Covid first became A Thing?

Steve Aoki dropped a new Cascada remix? It's 2008 all over again!

Just spent 5 minutes chatting with the sales person at MicroCenter about how great Brother printers are only to realize that I'm actually talking to an HP rep.

This would be a lot harder if podcasting wasn't such a bottom of the barrel slopfest already. Just saying.

It's super cool that I have no idea of green line trains will go to US Bank Stadium Station or not during the upcoming closure, because all sorts of different official sources give different answers

Yesterday was actually pretty good, let's hope the streak continues.

I really hate debating the associations of terms because everyone attaches their own meaning to the term and and then when one person uses it the other lays all their assumptions on it and suddenly none of these words communicate any meaning anymore.

We really needed this rain

"Setting aside that he's wrong, Kennedy makes some good points" what the hell are we even doing

Started the day off with a win. Either I've set the tone for the rest of the day, or it's all downhill from here. Only time will tell!
