Tech bros are severed from reality. While in Seattle cafe a few years ago, I listened as two men excitedly talked about the different ads they appreciated in search results. Excited about ad insertion. These folks need human intervention.

A couple weeks ago I had a bad stomach virus. That wouldn’t have happened if I had a ballroom.

CBS canceled Colbert. join me—cancel CBS!

$9-billion taxpayer transfer to a $5 trillion company for US spy agencies to go all in on AI. NYT doesn't include a single critical word from a privacy or civil liberties expert. Just a don't-worry-about-it assurance at the end. Also: Anthropic is not our friend. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Interviewer: What’s in your immediate future? Rob Base: I want to rock right now. Interviewer: Can you remind the audience what you’re all about? Rob Base: I’m Rob Base, and I came to get down.

I like how, in the Transformers cartoons, giant robots who all have lasers are continually fist-fighting each other.

made this during the first season.

I’ve been designing the bags for the adult summer reading giveaways at our library for the last 5 or so years. Before that I designed the teen bags. I only do the program to get one of my bags, lol.

I’ll grant you that some media piracy can be considered protest. I’d venture the guess, though, that a lot of it is just entitlement.

Every time someone tries to drag some weird regional pizza, I am like, I would eat the shit out of that, I do not care, it is some combination of bread, molten cheese, sauce, and meat. It is all good as hell.

scottland - a proto-social media game thing from Kids In The Hall’s Scott Thompson. Skinnybitch dot com (don’t search for it now, pornified) was an early blog where you asked a question and the guy who ran the site would have to answer it—no matter how awful the question was—his own rule.

I can’t tell if the actor playing Maddy on Euphoria is just terrible or if she’s being directed to play the character as a dead-inside Kim Kardashian clone.

Seeing the “yeah, you can save money by making food at home” argument being taken to extremes and people being shitty to each other over it. Good job, Internet.

The tooth fairy had to reluctantly pillage her coin collection this evening to make up for a lack of paper money.

I wish Duck Duck Go were better. It seems to assume every search I make is in pursuit of a product to buy.

I have full faith that every Jan 6 rioter who receives a large chunk of $ will blow through that $ on lifted trucks and ATVs.

A villain is someone who lives “in” a “villa” #WordFacts

The Dungeon Crawler Carl books are a lot of fun, but the author writes “utilize” and “resiliency,” and I hate it.

It all was so much more fragile than we realized and whatnot.

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

A lot of folks focus on “I hate that apple got rid of headphone jacks on phones,” and they’re not reserving enough hatred for Steve Jobs’ insistence that we shouldn’t have optical drives in our laptops.

Salem and Salem adjacent people, go to this show. No, not that Salem, the other one.

This song is the shit. You will love it. thekingdot.bandcamp.com/track/cat-wi...

The best part of Hype! is when that one dude takes a power chord up a half step and says “that’s punk” then takes a power chord down a half step and says “that’s grunge.”

Watching Daredevil. The gandolfini kid is not good at this.

Past me is such a dick for thinking I should eat better and not buying good snacks.

Still mad at my parents for not making me a nepo baby.

Look, the answer is simple: really long extension cords to the other side of the earth, so we can all share when the sun is out.

It’s the law here in Oregon, though a lot of folks think it only applies to marked crosswalks.

Good morning. The Chicago White Sox have a winning record. Go have a Friday.

You have too many guitar pedals on your board.

I only learned about him recently thanks to @theauthorguy.bsky.social ‘s latest, Anima Rising. It’s about art and psychology and Inuit mythology and raising the dead and a good dog.

This is the weirdest Dungeon Crawler Carl book yet.

Any verdict or settlement in this case would be paid by Chicago taxpayers, who will also foot the bill to defend the two-term Far Northwest Side alderperson's claims. https://to.wttw.com/493goJr

I continue to be impressed with the way WTTW frames these headlines—the stark reality that taxpayers are always on the hook when the law screws up.

I’m glad that Foxit (pdf editor) exists because Acrobat made their menus so bonkers that it’s not worth my time to figure out how to do basic tasks. If I can ever find a substitute for Audition, I’ll ditch Adobe altogether. But, Audition’s wav editor is crucial to how I work.

You second place White Sox.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Well, at least the next elections will be clear as hell. Has your ass embraced white supremacy or hasn't it?

I am pleased that they got so many of the original actors to do voices for the Lego Star Wars rebuild the galaxy show.

Adapt or die

Wait, we had a guy named Squirrel White on the team?

We’re going to be super close to this painting on our vacation—tempting to take a detour….

My wife is a pretty good mom.

Here’s my mom interrupting Steve Stone’s poolside reading. #HappyMothersDay

It kinda seems like humans, as a rule, don’t learn lessons.

Jeesh, never underestimate how much white people don’t want to share, I guess.
