Chicago based ex-academic who spends most of his time taking pictures of his dog. She is evil, and I love her. I’m never really sure if I’m doing things right, but I’m still here and still trying.

One thing that could be a factor in the upcoming election that isn't talked about much is that student loan payments for a lot of people just 3x'd or more. Most of those people would have been Lean to Fully D voters as it is, but Trump just massively increased a portion of the electorate's costs.

This is always a weird comment to me. Government agencies require revenue, and the average American treats tax revenue or government fees as some type of crime equal to mass murder.
Bluesky post: Right…cause all of those people in Addison and Oak Brook are gonna take PT. 

It’s a move designed to raise revenue. Full stop.

Just got a spam group text from a number who listed names (including mine) and said they were about to send nudes of us all. Blocked the number and everything, but I am reminded of our complete refusal to do anything to address spams and scams and malicious behavior via digital means.

A lot of people who get dogs tho k of them as accessories to their lives or roommates need to sometimes spend time with, but in reality, dogs are living creatures with active brains and emotions that pet ownership requires a duty of care to engage empathetically with those needs.

I live near the 4th image and the two roads (N and S of the Park) are polar opposites. The N has two raised crosswalks and cars drive *relatively* fine on that side. On the south side, there are two stop signs that cars just drive right through. It's infuriating.

I want a to do list app or other personal productivity software that IS NOT aimed at collaboration. I don’t want to fucking collaborate. I just want some place to manage my own crap*. *this is less a call for suggestions and more a complaint about how everything is about “collaboration”

Last night at the bar, eavesdropped on a conversation: There was a straight boy, a gay boy, and a woman of indeterminate sexuality: The straight boy told a story about a woman who kept on inviting him places. His response: “We don’t really know each other well. Why does she keep inviting me?”

Just saying “different strokes for different folks” a couple of times a year will save some of these people from their brain worms*. Just like what you like or don’t like what you don’t like, but don’t go making it some weird meta commentary on the state of the world.

Internet meme factory. ESPN just showed an image of some guy (he may be famous but he’s just some guy to me) talking to Serena and Serena looking wholly uninterested. Someone needs to make it the new version of this:
The meme image of the guy talking to a woman at a sporting event and her looking entirely uncomfortable and uninterested.

From tsh.tennis on Instagram
A 6 panel meme. The 6 panels have the following text:
Panel 1: When Botic Loses A Set
Panel 2: When Botic Wins a Set
Panel 3: When Botic Loses a Match
Panel 4: When Botic beats Alcaraz at the US Open
Panel 5: When Botic beats Nadal in his last match ever
Panel 6: When Botic comes back from 2 sets & a match point down to hear Arthur Gea in one of the best grand slam matches of the year

The image in each image is the same, it is a photo of Botic van de Zandschulp with a basically emotionless (maybe a slight smirk) facial reaction. Botic is well known for being the first professional robot tennis player.

Saw a video of a Bengals player watching Iga play during the Cincinnati open and he and his wife basically said “holy shit” in response. AJ Dybantsa responded similarly to watching Tiafoe play at the French. I think prof athletes respect the athleticism required in other sports in cool ways.

I’m sure Josh did this out of a mutual respect for fellow professional athletes, but it’s also very interesting in the sense that Jess, in a roundabout way, is his employer.

*THIS IS NOT A KNOCK ON MONFILS* It is very weird the pomp Monfils has gotten in the Open where Wawrinka was relegated outside Ashe and Armstrong despite being a former Champion while BARELY getting a wildcard. I like Monfils and do not begrudge his treatment, but Stan was disrespected.

There are certain minor details that tell you all you need to know about a human being. Car clock that says 6:44 when it’s 10, this is an agent of pure chaos and should be avoided.

My parents were complaining to me about data centers last night and their effect on their property taxes. Generally I roll my eyes when people complain about property taxes, but it’s interesting how salient of a political issue data centers are becoming.

I cannot recall any other sport having people fake their age in order to get signed. I'm not saying other sports don't have elaborate age based scandals, but it is VERY much a thing in baseball.

There were certain behaviors my mom exhibited as a kid that I thought were about who she was as a person, and now that I work with a lot of accountants, I realize it’s just because she’s an accountant and ALL accountants are that way.
