My mom got me shifts bussing at Isaac's one summer and after my third day I was so despondent I went to a temp agency my friend Stacy mentioned and because I aced the typing test they immediately put me on a $15/hour class action settlement gig calling old people and I never did real work ever again

Just immediate cut to green screen clouds and Gates of Heaven and you looking back like the TikTok videos.

I worked with a chief counsel previously who put a stop to risk presentations to management because he didn't want the risks documented for liability reasons (this was an organization with formal risk management requirements). Thankfully he didn't last very long.

I feel like there can be revelatory scares that trigger a previously-stored bit of information in a new horrible way that act functionally like a jump scare.

I absolutely do not believe any news that is reported by someone holding one of those Totino's pizza roll mics in front of their face.

I want to skip to the part where Matthew Rhys played the Anthropic guy in the movie and Taika Waititi plays the Palantir guy.

Also an unnecessary fake, as this actual photo from Ron Haviv is fucking incredible: www.instagram.com/p/DcbNuo5Dno...

I find "is my edgy idea an old Chris Rock joke?" a good rubric to evaluate my beliefs against.

It feels a little backwards to have acquired the new Strokes album on vinyl considering I bought all the old ones on CD when they came out, but the packaging is dope (and I dig the album itself).

The Grindr “In Memoriam” video for him was very touching, though I’m surprised they were able to clear the rights for Hall and Oates Maneater

I hope it does better than the previous wine bar (which was run by the same family that had a little Italian place I loved across the street). I don't have high hopes though (in 20 years Breadfurst has been the only place to open that is still busy after the honeymoon period's worn off)

When his name came on the chyron I thought the video was backwards like when they mirror sports highlights so they don't get flagged on Youtube.

Yeah I forgot what it's like until it started this week for the CBB show tomorrow night. Like the tickets have been saved in my apple wallet for two months and I don't need insurance.

Empower app on my phone sent me a notification this morning that just said to make sure not to rank McDuffie in the upcoming primary election. When I open the app it says:
Launch screen of the Empower ridshare app with a message saying: "If you want Empower to stay in DC, leave Kenyan McDuffie off your ballot!" and some additional messaging with call to action buttons to call, post, or email

There's a watch/jewelry repair place inside the Rodman's on Wisconsin Ave called HNP that I've never used but have heard good things about.

Also I will die on the hill that MiniDiscs were the coolest media format we ever had and that they didn't proliferate for data use (except for in the beginning of the Matrix) is a travesty.

You gave your crush a mixtape; I curated a 240-minute guided sonic experience with skits and interludes on MiniDisc for my best friend that required her to also carry around a MiniDisc player. We are not the same.
