Side note.... I've heard through the grapevine (or orange grove?) that you can pick up a good pichana from wal-mart so i may have to trek there tomorrow as part of my middle age metamorphosis.

There is a certain cultural lot in life based on age and gender that you just sort of fall in to. Case in point: do I buy a Traeger grill, or a Blackstone grill, or a Big Green Egg. Do I buy all three and vehemently advocate for the appropriate use scenarios each of them?

The default mode network is fucking stupid.

Why do I insist on being tired and hungover for work tomorrow? #blurg

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Unpopular opinion: most podcasts could GREATLY benefit from an experienced editor. 3hr long chats should absolutely be boiled down to the 20-40 minutes of decent listening material these hosts actually have to offer.

My boss: Hey you are killing it. Great job!

Me, internally: You just don’t know how terrible I am. I’m a wretch and unworthy of praise. The moment you know the real me I will be fired.

Me, externally: Ah thanks, I appreciate it.

My wife and son had popcorn rain down on them from the seats in front of us. We all laughed so hard Agreed on the right amount of rowdiness in the theater.

Dang, i really don't know how I lucked into my current job. Moved into that mid-level role: shipping units and managing materials.

Time is a son of a bitch. I picked up some fucking reading glasses tonight. God damnit, they're so helpful!

DID YOU KNOW that you can get a well reviewed stun gun on Amazon (or wherever) for <$30 and/or a high-powered pepper spray device with UV tracking dye for about $10 apiece - and furthermore, did you know that holidays are approaching and that these things fit inside stockings for women of all ages

Everyone is seeing this through their lens of course but, to me, this so obviously the result of social content platforms and their impact on our ability to create a shared reality.

Bad day is bad.

In which I explain why @hankgreen.bsky.social is way less prone to conspiracy theories than the richest man in the world.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,110,494!

It's always surprising to me when I recognize that I've slipped into a bout of depression. It's like, "how do you find yourself here again?"

Deleted twitter, deactivated account. Was on there since November 2007 but its just totally unusable now.

I wish I had the "bravery, gumption, fearlessness, etc,.....but it was soooo fun dancing with you tonight.

I used to really love cooking with cast iron but I switched to carbon steel this year and it was a fucking game changer. It is a vastly superior pan. I use it daily...best cooking purchase in a long time. Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan (11 7/8) a.co/d/dXfCQQB

It's 5 months to the day that I started with my current company. Today I started training for my first promotion with them. Good deal.

A promotion and a 4 day weekend? Is it
MY birthday or something?

After driving for Amazon for 4 months now, especially in the area I'm delivering to and it's notoriously poor air quality, I've never been more in favor of a carbon emissions tax.
