Bathrooms at work have gone from smelling like a sewer to a Petco and I’m not sure if this is an improvement

While packing, I found an old box in the back of my closet from when I moved in. It was the perfect size for random stuff from my desk & living room. While taping the box up, I noticed I had written “DESK + ETC” on it five years ago

Spent five or so days driving and playing music in front of strangers, barely felt stress. Back at work now for three hours and I’ve already nervously picked out like nine hairs from my mustache. Let’s Fucking Go

Dorkin’ out because the drummer for Cherubs let us crash at his house last night, viewing his home was like entering a portal to Slackers-era Austin

In mental health news, I did manage to replace “holding a finger gun in my mouth” as a response with “miming that I’m jacking someone off onto my face”. Freud would probably have a lot to say about this, but I’m taking this as a win

Someone found a guitar outside of work and brought it to me, asking if I wanted it. It’s nice to be thought of, but also I dunno man I’ve got too many to just be stealing beat up classical guitars for no real reason

Really frustrating that my cornball gen x rock guitar former boss also gave me the best gear advice years ago: “You can keep buying overdrives but what you need is an amp that’s 85% there and do the other 15% with pedals”

Something odd but kind of familiar in the recent lib thing about how the ICE kidnappers are "proud boys" or "not real cops" or whatever. A kind of third way triangulating. You still get to be outraged but not going all the way about cops.

Airlines have always been the vanguard of the modern financialized economy, first to graft a credit card company onto their biz, first to embrace market logic dynamic pricing, always eager to lay off workforce & let quality slide in favor of stock buybacks. 2 tickets cheaper than 1 is barely notable

It’s pretty wild how I read juuust a little Foucault and really found the control of knowledge as a means of asserting power stuff fascinating, and now we get to just watch it kinda play out on our little phones every day

I know many have asked, but do you have a strip mall donut shop near you that is solely named “DONUT” or “DONUTS” or is this a weird regional thing?

The funniest thing about the Klarna news is that I distinctly recall an era where PayPal Credit existed but did not get reported to a credit agency. As a result, many of my friends made some very responsible irresponsible purchases and then just walked away from a paypal account

I think a lot about how the two different people who own Joker-themed Jeeps that drive around my neighborhood are both middle aged women. What urged them specifically to do this? Do they know each other?

Went on Everything Remade & chatted with my ol’ friend Edie for a bit about starting out in DIY at 1919, writing and recording with Skimp, and a bunch of other rambly stuff. Check it out! I hear it’s available at “wherever you get your podcasts” but here’s a link: youtu.be/leHBPMJYylo?...

Morgan showed me the three episode run of Catfish: Trolls, a truly fascinating failure of a show. It hits Twitch streamers (who work it out, cynically), two stans, and then runs right into “Sometimes, the internet incentivizes terrible people. Sometimes people are just relentlessly mean.” That’s it.

The cycle of a near-campus business since the 2010s: someone tries something, it fails, it becomes an apartment leasing place, that closes, refresh, repeat, refresh, repeat, sunrise, sunset
The former location of the Allsup’s that was open for 6 months, now advertising apartments for rent
