Just learned espresso shots don’t die. Twas just a myth to make Starbucks baristas work faster.

Moving cross country has typically been one unexpected challenge after another (typically on emotional autopilot) but today I realized I can’t pack my flatbed scanner in my carry on and I’m so devo 😞

The trick to procrastination is keep adding a bunch of things you don’t want to do and eventually the first thing becomes the one you want to do

This is something I’m trying to avoid doing, because it really doesn’t help. It’s also one of the reasons grifters and clout chasers have been thriving. I get that it’s part of people processing and trying to make sense of things. I’ve done it in the past. It’s not a useful pattern of behavior.

All billionaires are bad by virtue of existence but at least bill gates got into vaccine access versus whatever the heck musk and Zuckerberg do

My favorite zatch bell 2 plot has been sherry’s kid going “being rich is what matters most” to “no… getting swole is”

The Spotify genre ai names are so bad! What’s a “permanent wave”? I’m convinced Spotify removing their human genre analysts is also why the radio and mixes have been terrible (no new music introduced in, just what you’ve listened to previously)

at the risk of being contentious the correct response to this is to bail on mainstream shit. I know everybody's addicted to lavish production and big celebrities but the reason Hollywood is going all-in on AI is they do not believe anybody will ever stop watching their shit, no matter what they do

Anyway some deers… mix of allusions… from deers on tile in St. Augustine to a kaiseki course this past year…

Ok I went on threads too much and I’m at my engagement bait capacity. Blue sky feels much softer and more human.

I think we should standardize sirens. Just heard one that sounded like a an impending doom cutscene in a horror movie and it was just a cop car catching some street violation.

I can’t get over this scene of the playing character crawling around under giants in a frozen dining scene in Fear & Hunger. It feels so much like what my dreams feel like.

Having my partner explain how out of pocket means both out of office and a wild transgression: they’re both… logically or physically unattainable? Out of reach??

I’m get sad about laika. I think about my cat that is 6% of my body weight, that runs away if I stands up too fast and crawls into my lap when I’m working. Who barely understands the confines of a room, let alone her carrier.

Just saw an ig ad for $100 illustration classes: “start producing art you’ll be proud to share” never.

I love Christmas cause it’s one of the few days in the u.s. where a great sum of shops and services are closed. People stay home and there’s a nice serene quietness all around.

Lobotomies are my Roman Empire. Ever since a friend told me doctors just stuck a spoon in the the head and swirled it around until you couldn’t sing god bless America anymore, I just can’t stop thinking about it.

The one thing I don’t like on bluesky so far, is my text on feed and notifications seems really big in pt size so I can only see 1-2 things per scroll (I have a small phone…)
