edging up to a panic attack at work because the radio is SO LOUD and the speaker is right outside my unit. I asked the people who work here, and: the volume is controlled by the corporate office. they literally have no access to it.

i am begging everyone with the kind of job that provides paid sick leave to not come to work when it’s the new year and your sick leave just reupped, especially if you can work on a ding dang computer GET AWAY FROM ME

Adblocker for my brain that prevents me from ever encountering another commercial for a car in my life

The first two hours this morning

Letterboxd should have a Childless Couple pro membership option

In episodes 3 and 4, the captions are frequently interrupted mid-sentence with “[music]”

A mallard walks across a stretch of ice in Montrose Harbor.

Thax Douglas lives!

Thax Douglas read a poem to introduce Daniel Knox last night at Constellation. First time I’ve seen Thax in ages! He used to read his poem-intros at a lot of Chicago concerts.

All this talk of PRO-tests but how about a CON-test? The prize is Jodie Foster's respect.

When a person you love makes something for you? Oh boy. That's the stuff. I recommend making things for people you love, and I recommend having people who make cool things in your life.

I'm going to put something nice on the TL. I like to mark the place on the shelf that the currently playing record goes. This is librarian behavior, I know. For a couple years now, I've been using this paint stirrer. (1/2)

Putting some good news on the TL

I made a playlist

The devil is real and he lives in the heart of everyone who decides what happens to you

Everything is infuriating and the people in charge are irrevocably evil.

Stepped in discourse last night and posted about my old millionaire boss, some of his annoying traits. Now people want to talk to me about this man. I need to stress that in addition to his learning disability he was one of the most toxic assholes I've ever met in my life. Unsafe work environment.

“That’s so funny. What did Tom say then? …. Haha. Oh man. I bet Joe had a great and-one on that. …Yep. Classic Joe.” -me talking to my AI assistant who is summarizing an episode of Anime Sickos podcast

It feels like certain types of guys are unable to take in information in solitude. It has to be a conversation, explanations tailored to their thought patterns, with someone they perceive as servile to them. They can’t read an email: someone has to tell them what it says, even if it’s incorrect.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

WOW!!!!!!!

the Station fire happened in 2003 and nobody has managed to learn a single thing in all this time. don't work at clubs with acoustic foam on the ceilings and a bunch of candles everywhere. don't go to these clubs. the people who own them do not give a shit if you live or die

It's literally always acoustic foam + pyrotechnics in a single exit basement club, I don't even need to read the articles. Dipshit owners killing people with their own idiot negligence

Yelling at my label printer when I hear Rod Serling voice over “meet Sara McHenry, an autistic failure. She spends all day mailing things. But she’s about to be sent to a place where the postage can’t be paid in cash. Postmarked… the Twilight Zone” god damn it. This is the last thing I need!!!!!!

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

Like, for the back of a car or maybe a bus.

Seen from Montrose Point on the morning of New Year’s Day 2026, the Chicago skyline with some Canada geese.

(seeing any three dwarves walking abreast through the secret entrance to my gold horde) well well well if it isn't Jackoff, Whackoff, and Beatoff

In 2026 I resolve to spend more time waiting for 2FA codes and typing them into the same four websites I visit every day from my 10-year-old computer at my IP address that hasn't changed in twice that long.

A message for you all to carry through the year

In 2025 I figured some shit out about myself and everything got a little bit easier. In 2026 I’m going to become even more annoying and even happier about it 🥰✌🏻

Happy Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City to all who celebrate 😭❤️

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

Outlook for the new year ...

Huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up for neighbors and ran toward the danger in 2025. You’re a light in this dark world. Take a minute to celebrate yourself as you celebrate tonight.

R.I.P. to a legend
