The ol’ Pistons skid

Night people: don't forget to go to sleep before 2 am today so you don't feel like a dirtbag going to bed at 3 am

Pain at the pump 🎶 Feel like a chump 🎶 Just checked the news 🎶 Outbreak of Mumps 🎶

I cannot think of anything more embarrassing than losing to the Nets

After some encouragement from @ianferguson.bsky.social I think I'm going to get back into film photography.

I think what I’m enjoying most about photography is the effort. Not just practice and experience and learning from mistakes, but that I have to go out and work for a photo. I can crochet on the couch. I can paint minis on the couch. I cook in a small kitchen close to the couch.

So this is the "hero image" from my last Substack post. I keep going back to it. It's my second go at botanical photography on large format film, but I'm optimistic. Photo notes in alt text #believeinfilm

Stew has been the Pistons' most reliable offensive player tonight. 18 points after knocking down his third 3-pointer

I bought some frozen ravioli and it advertises “New Shape!” and really that’s about the only thing you can advertise frozen ravioli with and even then there’s only so many arrows in the quiver

THURSDAY TUNESDAY DJ set streaming at 4pm PST! House! Deep? Progressive? Feels like maybe another one of those days. twitch.tv/pxlsicle

What am I supposed to do, wake him up so I can go back to work? Monstrous.

That’s our saxophone grandpa

Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled

Why is it always presumed that a landlord cannot be asked to weather a bit of a bumpy ride for a short period, but tenants must do everything right or face the consequences? If a landlord can't handle a limited amount of arrears, they shouldn't be in business.

Big Arch is playing just fine here

If you listen to @extranapkins.net and can’t grab the new episode, we think it’s fixed. Also, I think the last two episodes are particularly good.
