today’s work story is almost too insane to believe like, no one would make a show about it or anything, but I will be telling the tale of today to other tech people for the rest of my life

I love the trend where people post old photos showing they were an unlikely match for their spouse in high school but unfortunately I cannot participate because my husband and I look like we would have formed an Evanescence cover band if we’d met in 2009

finally, after years of thinking about it, am wanting to do a custom domain for email but figuring out what i want is basically impossible so i'll probably just be stretched across like 7 email services for the rest of my life

i don't really penalize athletes too much for bad takes/opinions, i can just not listen to them but i will love any athlete that champions good stuff and speaks about it and that means i'm a wemby fan

so liberty mutual has biberty and limu emu, and doug so are there separate marketing teams, was it the same team i have logistical questions, i'm very interested just so we know what to never do again, limu emu is a scourge, doug is a witless tool, and we all know the true cost of biberty

what is with some of these pharma commercials there was one that was like "we don't know how this works but it does!" like, who hears the side effects and is like "i'm going to look up this drug and ask my doctor about this pill that will make my taint fall off"

i wasn't sky-high, or even very high at all on rob dillingham, but like, that's a young player and the bulls are a rebuilding team what the fuck do we need with a buddy hield i like buddy hield, but i don't think the bulls "need his shooting" or something

if you truly care about someone bringing a drink /fuckin' anywhere/ i don't really understand that urge at all there are so many more important things to care about, this is just not one of them and honestly, professional decorum is not an indicator of job performance

new law: if you're a sitting politician and you start your own podcast, you're just not a sitting politician anymore, because it's clear your priority isn't public service, it's clout and grift and maybe even have an "only 1 appearance on another person's podcast per term" limit too no exceptions

yeah, discord going "hey we just have other ways of figuring out your age, most people won't need an id" is maybe one of the best real-life representations of the humor/terror of the "you do get why that's worse, right?" gif from the good place (which is weirdly not in the gif search here)

that bears game was a game from hell, but chicago-the-city is good for one or two of those a year, where it's just raining or snowing the whole time and the game's a complete mess as a result but the bears had somewhere between 9 and 726,000 chances to win that game and missed all of them

this week his been so stressful and anxiety-ridden. i can't sleep full nights, i'm scarcely able to relax, and impossible to take my mind off of things or create any distance. it's also one of those situations i won't discuss publicly until it's prudent to, so, uh, sorry for the vagueposting

feel very bad for clippers fans. feel the penalties should have been harsher on both kawhi and ballmer. $700k and $30m are just meaningless amounts of money to these guys. like, 10x would be a start, and still probably not enough. sucks all around. i'm happy there's closure but it feels meh.

i just realized that life is too short to read about other people reading about a streamer nobody actually cares about, if they even know who they are at all closing tab, doing anything else

i'd find it easier to consider the dem party's occasional focus on left-wing streamers as malicious if i didn't also think it was stupid and tactically irrelevant

there's been little better demonstration of the necessity of regulation than all the dumb crap happening with our food now companies /have never/ and /will not/ police themselves in the name of "making a good product" they will sell you poop if they can, quite literally in some cases
