Frankie Valli has a whole musical called "Jersey Boys" so that's a point there. Bon Jovi feels like the obvious next option just for "famous for being from New Jersey." But my dark horse nominee is Gerard Way.

Whenever I'm waiting on the train platform and another train blasts past without stopping, I turn to my wife and say "oh shoot, we missed it!"

Completely unsolicited but have you seen a neurologist? I used to get migraines pretty regularly and it got so bad (multiple per month) I went on a daily preventative med. Took like 3 tries to find one that actually worked but I've had exactly one in the last two years.

I'm not following this election closely so I love this thread because every post introduces me to a new beautiful work of art and pairs it with an ominous message that I don't understand the specifics of but instinctively fear, like a massive plume of dark smoke on a distant empty horizon

There's a lot of shit about driving in NJ that I have never witnessed before in my life but regrettably that is not one of them, even as a dumb teen I used to be horrified seeing shit like parents teaching their kid to ride a bike in a driveway that opened out right onto a 55-mph highway in PA

I saw these for sale and I was so baffled as to what the appeal could possibly be that I bought a bag and after finishing the bag I'm still not sure, so congratulations to skittles for pulling a fast one on me I guess

I pumped gas exactly once, 20 years ago, when I was living in Pennsylvania and couldn't even drive yet, because my dad said I would need to learn how to do this myself some day and I should learn. Now even driving outside of NJ I always manage to hit up full-service stations somehow lmao

My great-grandpa had the same job title I do (although the work was a much more old-timey version of what I actually do day-to-day lol), to the point where when I started working my dad and his cousin dug up a bunch of his old stuff to give it to me as a memento/good luck charm

Like it genuinely isn't normal magnetic levitation, it's something really cool and unique and very very awesome to witness. And also isn't what you see pictured here, which is something partially repelled by a magnet in a normal way that you can see normally.

FVBLT 🏳️‍⚧️ @fvblt.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I've worked with superconductors and you can do a really cool thing where you levitate a magnet and it's pinned in the air fully floating and you can give it a flick and it spins in place in the air. Which is not what this was! I was losing my mind when the whole thing was going down lmao

I realize I don't need to tell you that, I'm just rephrasing my own original statement more correctly

FVBLT 🏳️‍⚧️ @fvblt.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Yeah, I realize I could have phrased that in a little bit of a less "correct by technicality" way, but Spanish is spoken by a little under 90% and Guaraní is spoken by a little over 90%, to be more accurate

My theory is that they're just looking at the number of Teams users and going "ah yes this is a super popular app" and not thinking past that at all. Alternatively they're just assuming that since people did game together on Skype and Teams is the successor that people are gaming on Teams?

FVBLT 🏳️‍⚧️ @fvblt.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

This is only tangentially related but I just need to share it: my wife does market research and *multiple* times she has had to tell someone to remove Microsoft Teams from a suggested list of compatible gaming voice/chat apps for various peripherals.

If you enter Connecticut from the NY side there's signage saying it's the pizza capital of the US, but if you enter from the Massachusetts side the signs say it's the basketball capital of the world. This doesn't really have anything to do with anything but I feel like it's indicative of something.

They should name them like in Quebec where they just concatenate every single place name that touches the district into one long name. NJ-05 would go crazy hard

One time a fairly famous author (not that one) followed me back on Tumblr and for the next year there was like a 10% chance anything I posted would get a random like or even reblog from him and when I checked his page it was clearly because he was hopelessly addicted and posted nonstop 18 hours/day

A certain type of Dumb Guy is really bad at giving instructions because they go way too into detail on how to do every individual step and I think it's because that's how much instruction they themselves need to feel comfortable executing any task unaided.

"What is the most __ song" is a way better prompt than "What is the best __ song" because people will fight to the death for their favorites but will sit and reflect seriously for a moment if Who Let The Dogs Out was a bedrock of 2000s culture even if they don't like it. Way better vibes!
