John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 14hI don’t understand the argument that investigations (in a dem controlled house) are better than just endless impeachment hearings. No shortage of impeachable offenses here. 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I know we’ve had gtlds for a while, but this is the first time it’s felt similar to new emoji proposals? 😂 020
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Dangit I missed my alders first participatory budget town hall. 💀 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There are apparently none available for pick up at my small city store but apparently 451 available in Reston? That, can’t be true, right? 😂 120
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They even sell a Santa costume as an add on! I had no idea but of course they do. 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026And ONLY this. Better way to spend it than some we’ve already tried. 😂 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Reminds me of that NYT guy over here. Just the worst mentality. 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Reminds me of a short video about some of the aweful stuff depicted in Game of Thrones because it had to be true to the text, which was just written by a guy. Realistic indeed! I’m not doing it justice but have been unable to find the video. 😔 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I mean, if his lackeys had brought in store-brand butter they both would have been less wrong, sure. 😂 Why they chose the ‘fancy’ cultured butter? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 120
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Went to a dedicated place and I’m not sure they could have been more efficient; was a vasectomy machine. Took far longer to sample afterwards, an important step! Though, like I said, I’m not a drugs guy and with those two Valium I could have been in there four hours and I would not have known. 😬 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 05/10/20261000%! They had me pop two Valium and honestly I couldn’t even tell you how long I was in there. I think I spent more time signing docs and waiting in the waiting room than however long the procedure was. 😵💫 To suggest any alternative is even worth considering is nuts. 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I have a literal Uncle John like this. He’s openly racist in front of non-white family members. Within minutes of arriving to a recent party he was proposing we get rid of the USPS entirely. I haven’t proactively engaged with him in years. It’s just not worth the energy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 0150
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think that’s fair. I will say that his other stuff is pretty good as well. I’ve not watched the full catalog but I don’t think it’s all ‘this is why X brand is bad’. I just learned a ton about rugby shirts from one of his videos, for example! 😂 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Please file a ticket and ‘we’ll get to that next week’ are now things some folks will accept as challenges. Oh, you weren’t fast enough, so I vibe coded a fix, here’s the PR! And now you have to deal with code you didn’t want or a solution that you don’t want to maintain. Love it! 020
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And even POF to some extent before that! Met my wife on OKC but between the two of those apps I generally met normal/fun people. I cannot imagine having to navigate the apps in this day and age. 😬 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Sort of reminds me of this Upton Sinclair quote: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Probably not a lot of value asking him if he’s staying current with these things. 😂 050
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026@faineg.com Do I need to know Much more about Less Wrong? Is there anything of value there? How terminally online do I need to be here? 😂 😭 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah. Like there’s a reason when you get a new credit card they come in very plain envelopes and not envelopes that say ‘HERE IS YOUR NEW AMEX’. Even if it’s really not that hard to figure out what’s in it. 050
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If I could flip a switch across Facebook and Apple Music that ensured I didn’t get AI generated content I would flip it so hard. As it is I’m already bummed that Apple/Spotify engineer their own cheaper music to pad their revenue, I certainly don’t want anything to do with this. 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is what I’m confused about. Something is off but we’ve got no new details in days? Apple should absolutely be able to brick this app if there are concerns it’s accessing a disk it wasn’t granted access to. 051
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Given its Meta, I find this completely plausible, but it’s been days and there’s been no further confirmation on this or Apple bricking their app? Seems odd, if not troubling, in a number of ways, no? 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Currently conjuring (I like that word…) up something to aggregate a ton of summer/weekend/post school activities that also largely get lost in the noise. 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So much this! Our littles are just a little too little for 90+% of stuff in the school wide emails to apply to them but when there is something I’ve sometimes missed it in the noise. If I conjure something for that I’d almost certainly share with folks I know on a first name basis. 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’ve got thousands (if not 10’s of thousands) of miles of cycling experience in Chicago with no major incidents. I’d love to believe it’s because I’m so darn vigilant and I’m awesome at it, but part of it is certainly just a string of luck that could end at any moment. 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I feel like physically pedaling and making the core decisions I need to make to get to where I’m going (making the next left for example) are SO far down the list of what I’m focused on. I’m much busier trying to accurately predict the actions of every single car in my immediate vicinity. 130
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Also want to make sure I’m approachable to sing the gospel of the cargo bike if anyone approaches to ask about it. 😂 020
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I try to go over the top with how happy I look to be cargo biking around bumper to bumper traffic and parking right next to the exit at Costco. It’s mostly un-contained superiority, but I also want others to see just how much more fun/better it is to tote the kids around via bicycle than car. 😊 190
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just to be clear I was questioning the choice of words in the Polymarket screen shot, not anything about the reality. 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I don’t believe you’d post something fake, Nick, but is this real? It is, isn’t ? 😂 😭 340
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Game of Thrones for me as well. Most I’ve seen is whatever snippets HBO snuck into other shows before I could skip. 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m reminded semi-regularly of the fact that Better Off Ted ended way too early and I’m still salty about it. 030
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Love that our local news (in a market where there’s at least some independence from the slop smaller markets get) just keep posting these press releases as news. Not a second spent on any criticisms of this scheme. 041
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I have saved them all! We have a bunch of go to bean recipes we make with canned white/garbanzo but my wife doesn’t want to ‘ruin’ those dishes for us my making them with the ‘fancy beans’. 😂 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’ve not once thought ‘too many beans’ and my wife has never once thought ‘too much spinach/kale’. 😂 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Do you have a go to recipe for beans? I’m starting to get too many beans and we’re only two quarters in. 😬 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Our oldest just started school not far from Shurz and it’s the same thing. No bike lane but a row of parked cars on a street with no parking signs really clogs up cars and especially buses (and cargo bikes when it’s real bad). And there’s seemingly no shame experienced for those folks. 😞 011
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 23/09/2026See, I knew it was a franchise, but after standing in Times Square for the ball drop it was the closest bathroom available and I needed to be a customer. To this day (20ish years later) it’s the only pizza I’ve ever had in NYC. 😂 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I’ve lost track of the times we’ve gotten excited about a menu item only to realize the menu is months/years out of date. So silly. 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It’s going to be like Facebook suddenly pushing government accounts hard after he won. I’m sure some Googlers are trying to juice the algorithm. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if this shit doesn’t pop up in my feed by end of week. 😬 010
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The closest I can get to this is Google searching my parents on Facebook every so often to catch their batshit comments on public posts (we’re no longer friends there or IRL). Always trying to get a read; a glimpse into their small small world. 32% isn’t low enough for them it seems. 😂 😭 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Won’t Tim Pool and the Paul brothers just be invited to live stream? 😂 😭 000
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 21/09/2026That jacket is freakishly reflective! Saw one on Addison and honestly thought it was emitting light now reflecting it. 😂 110
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I think we had a copy of this just floating around our house. Retained none of it but it was always fun to flip through. 120
John Kelly @johnkelly.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Debating sharing this with some normie, not terminally online folks, just to see what happens. I think their heads might 🤯 but, this really does sum the EA folks up doesn’t it? 😂 😭 020
