Hey, if anyone in or near Chicago wants two free tickets to see Janeane Garafalo at the Den, 1333 N. Milwaukee, tonight at 7:15, let me know. We got them and can't use them. Fancy table seats!

He was really really good tho.

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 3h

Saw him solo "acoustic" at a radio industry thing (where he had just hit on my employer, lolz) and he was the loudest act of the session. He followed St. Paul And The Broken Bones.

Guess which gate we're leaving from today? 🫠🫠🫠

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 5d

You know what, T4 can fuck off even farther than we had to walk (schlepping our backpacks & guitars) to get from our gate to bag claim. What the actual fuck.

A screenshot from my Health app showing today's "walking and running distance" by hour. In the 10pm hour, which is the hour in which our plane landed at JFK, it shows 0.76 mile. That is the distance from gate B41 to baggage claim.

Giant blue sculptures of Colorado animals at the side of every road into Colorado. Must be blue.
Red glowing eyes optional.

Mountain lions and bobcats and moose, oh, my.
Mule deer and kestrels and wolves, OH MY.
Minimum 25 feet tall.
Each one has a collectable token.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Grand Central Terminal, 12:53 am. NYC, baby.

A white man with a man-bun plays a Steinway grand piano in the middle of the concourse at Grand Central, while a bunch of people look on. The digital signs behind him read "DEAR NEW YORK,"

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

I haven't been there in years, but the Sherlock room was there back then. I would imagine they still do?

Those seem to be geoblocked as well ... I will get a VPN figured out somehow :)

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 1d

Thx!! I'd heard BBC had shut down access via a lot of the better known VPNs but good to know that works.

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 1d

I do need to get a VPN sorted out. VRadio doesn't access BBC and Audials uses AI so they're not options ... but I'll see what other options are out there.

Everyone’s watching chaos on the field, but the real drama’s happening in science fields literally. 1,700 sheep just helped reinvent clean energy + farming. Wild stuff: glassalmanac.com/scientists-l...

Scientists let 1700 sheep roam through solar panels—what they discovered surprised everyone

We didn't need a lot of caffeine that morning!

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 1d

Back in the day when we had a bookshelf stereo that could also be an alarm clock, we had an unfortunate incident one morning when the CD in the player turned out to be "Bosnian Breakdown: The Unpronounceable Beat Of Sarajevo" at top volume
