Stop saying mean shit to yourself challenge.

The other day I heard someone say that we’re on a pendulum and eventually it’ll swing back the other way. But I dunno- it’s hard to imagine that any of this gets better in our lifetime.

It makes me feel legitimately insane when people tell me they use ChatGPT for writing emails. We are destroying the planet to avoid tasks that are not all that difficult or time-consuming to do ourselves.

They should invent a way to transfer playlists to different streaming services. So my friends who still give money to spotify can share music with me, a civilized person on Apple Music.

I’ve got my first post-discectomy check-in on Tuesday and I am practically foaming at the mouth ready to ask them when I can go see a movie at the music box.

The white sox know I’m recovering from surgery and that’s why they’ve been so much fun to watch lately. Good boys. Sweet boys.

My high school choir yearbook pic says RIP Ozzy 💔

I'm sick of this tiresome equivalence of AI aggregated information and the concept of being educated. It would be more accurate to equate AI with someone who's read up on lots of things without really understanding it but is unable to admit they don't know something. And I'm a software dev!

Lordy Lordy guess who’s 40 (It’s me- Soupy the cat is only 3.)

I feel like it’d be really easy to pay a human to write about summer reads or interview a CPL librarian but what do I know.

Love having a governor who calls the democrats cowards.

It’s genuinely so cool that there’s a place down the street from me where I can eat ice cream in a booth that the Beatles ate ice cream in.

It’s crazy that you can buy tootsie rolls. That’s a free candy. That’s a candy you give away for free.

When my favorite DIY venue closed down, all I did was tweet at the alderman.

I am once again asking if I can I go out and kill tonight.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Ready to turn 40 (signed up for a Costco card and airline miles credit card in the same week.)

Everyone’s like, whoa Greg from White Lotus is Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite! And I’m all, EXCUSE ME that is OD from TerrorVision.

“Fix your heart or die” continues to be an evergreen Lynch quote.

Oh my god would you spineless dipshits actually do something?

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Dear @criterion.bsky.social , This is my annual request that you attempt to gain the rights to the Bob Spiers film Spice World for future release, it is an important cultural artifact and is basically unavailable

My therapist: How’ve you been? Me: Pretty good! *proceeds to list all of the ways in which I am hanging on by a thread*

Two good boys.

Holy shit what a bleak day.

My husband published his first research article for the Society for American Baseball Research!
