I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

I dreamt that I was in a bus with a few other passengers when I realized that I was naked. I was irked by my carelessness and with my fellow passengers for not alerting me sooner. “Of course this happens all the time in dreams,” I said, “But this shouldn’t happen in real life!”

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

Shift’s over. Bye!

Note to self: grow beard hairs to different lengths so that they can be plucked to produce different notes. Problem: beard would need to be re-tuned every few hours. Alternative: small fans that can blow over hairs to vibrate them like a blade of grass in fingers.

Yeah, wow. This might be the first time I’ve seen a celebrity home and been genuinely impressed with the choices.

Just learned about Angine de Poutrine. Polka-dotted illuminati weirdo duo playing microtonal math rock. Why did none of you tell me about this?? I had to learn about it from my DAD. My DAD! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi...

Everyone stop what you're doing, the Mariners are selling fries, nachos, and fish and chips in ferries now. www.mlb.com/mariners/bal...

My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

I learned something, but at what cost?

Yesterday was my 48th birthday. At least my mixed feelings about this produced this Wordle solve.

Someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

Finance guy’s guest op-ed in the local gazette: We don’t need libraries, we have Amazon anyone with a pulse: LIBRARIES ARE FREE YOU DORK me, cataloger: Amazon’s uncontrolled keyword search interface is HORRIBLE at supporting the core user tasks of Finding, Identifying, and Selecting 📚

Dream last night of a Sesame Street parody, CHAIRS. Ted Danson is behind the (milk?) bar, everyone shouts "BERRRT!" when he walks in. Ted/Sam: "How's it going, Bert?" Bert: "I'm a breadcrumb, Sam, and everybody's doin' the pigeon." He perched on a stool next to Cliff/Ernie, and then I woke up.

Doing my part to dissuade my parents from buying Ring cameras by explaining that they have to download an app

Mostly fine with this, but a bit too close to "New York Mets Fans" for comfort.

Woohoo, Seattle!!

Seattle teams are supposed to win or lose with maximum chaos, not boring competence.

We’ve finally reached the “muting Super Bowl commercials” stage of the evening.

That was fun! America is so much larger than what MAGA types imagine.

When you see scary things on the news, my mother always told me, “Look for the mortgage brokers.”

One of the ads used a bit of “Soul Thing,” which is an awesome track. youtu.be/CxHcfJ2xslM?...

Watched A Few Good Men last night. It’s well made and well acted, but the more one thinks about it, the less sense anything in that movie makes. It’s the polar opposite of an interesting failure. It’s an insipid success.

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

Stumbled onto the Wiki page for 17th-Century Japanese poet Ihara Saikaku. Howling at the chapter names for his book "The Great Mirror of Male Love." My top three: Love Letter Sent in a Sea Bass Fireflies Also Work Their Asses at Night Loved by a Man in a Box

Note: the deer died on the way back to its home planet.

Big news for Craig Calcaterra reading Mariners fans (like me)!

Just heard a podcast ad for pet products that said 91% of people consider their dog part of the family, and 40% would even choose to save their dog over a human stranger!

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Elected officials have to stop posting like bystanders who have no power.
