Apple, I love you, but you are not serious people.

Flags at half mast? I thought we were supposed to say 'thoughts and prayers' and move on?

Clearly the Phillies baseball lady sucks, but we've got to stop this meme-fueled mob rule. Nobody is perfect all of the time and we will all get bit by something at some point. Very on brand for Xitter to pour gas on it though.

Invading California is a hell of a way to get Elon out of the headlines.

Good lord Homepods and Apple Music are buggy as hell.

Why didn't you tell me AI meant I didn't have to know regexp anymore??

All this Katy Perry in space stuff reminds me of Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey On The Moon." www.youtube.com/watch?v=goh2...

Anyone need the fan in their Nintendo Switch replaced? I feel like I should use this knowledge more than a single time.

How do I get on the mailing list that gives rich people the heads up that they should buy all the purposefully cheapened stocks right before the policy changes that make them go up again?

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

But her emails.

Wow, Joker 2 really was that bad.

Been a minute since I read the Bible. So much good stuff in there. And timeless.

Project 2029: Tax the rich. Make life better for everyone.

Today, Trump is playing golf for the 13th day of his 48 day in office. Every day he played golf in 2017 it cost taxpayers $3,383,250 (so you know it's higher now). Big Balls is coming for his golf clubs next right?

“What we just witnessed in the Oval Office was a meeting between two cowardly puppets and a hero” — Rep. Seth Moulton

I am fully down with the cause and purpose of today, but is the art direction of our propaganda actually delivering? Is the cutesy ‘shop local’ craft fair vibe matching the moment? Or maybe it’s the kind of bubble gum subversion that is actually needed to be effective these days?

Yesterday / Today

Got my first ad for arthritis cream. All downhill from here.

Matia Island, Washington

Stop me if you've heard this one; a blue heron, a herd of deer, and a raft of mallards walk in to a creek...

What fresh hell have we awoken to today?

Well at least the stock market is up.

I’ll bet you a thousand $DOGE coin that Elon Musk is training Grok models on all of that data.

Does anyone think this administration *wouldn’t* take advantage of their insider ability to manipulate the stock market through their own pronouncements? Don’t even need your own crypto swindle for that, and now the president is immune from everything anyways, so why not?

Democrats should stop playing along with any of it until Elon Musk is locked out of the Treasury. Full and total obstruction on all cabinet picks and any other point of order.

Of all the things AI was going to take from us — I never thought it would be the em dash.

Wake up babe, new Watergate just dropped. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

So Instagram breaks everyone's square image layouts on mobile, but then keeps the square layout in the browser so something is broken everywhere. Cool cool.

It's a monumental day of firsts. First convicted felon president, and first bounty hunter First Lady.

Now do Instagram.

"Is that what you wanna do with your life? Suck down peppermint schnapps and try to call Morocco at two in the morning? That's senseless." American Movie (1999). Top 5 favorite ever.

Fox on the run

My dad got me this adorable block plane pencil sharpener in Japan.

My only resolution for 2025, after a stupidly multi-threaded 2024, is to try (as much as possible) to just do one g*dd*mn thing at a time.

Where can we sign a petition to spread “the holiday season” out through February? Nobody does shit in February.

That's not a post. THIS is a post (and beam). Finally raised our timber frame pergola yesterday at LowertownA2.com in #AnnArbor. Never gets old seeing one of these frames go up.

New personal site for the different stuff I do now: baker.co

Question for the creative directors/brand leads; how much of a turn-off is it to come in to a new company right *after* they rebrand? Do you feel like you missed a chance to make your mark, or do you feel like you have a great new platform to steward and build upon?

If Democrats *aren't* going to stand on principle, can we at least be conniving in winning ways?

1827 Ryan Days since Michigan lost to OSU

#GoBlue holy shit

I got hose, in the same area code

New logo for the Canadian Space Agency. Has there ever been a tree that pulls more weight, design-wise, than the maple does for Canada?

If nothing else, I'm more in to Bluesky because of the malleability and additional experiences that can be created for it. Just like in the early days of Twitter, the most innovative and useful stuff came from the superusers, not the company. Perfect example: @deck.blue
