Better late than never? I just found out the line in Steve Miller's classic song "The Joker" is "…'cause I speak of the pompatus of love" -- In my defense, though? The reason I never said "pompatus" is because it's a completely made-up word… from Steve Miller mishearing someone else's lyrics 🫨

Ah, _this_ is why people use my YT videos to unwind and sleep! Apparently I'm the inverse to Mr. Scalzi; I tend to speak at .75 to .5 average speed. Sweet dreams! 😀

When young adults wear distressed vintage logo T-shirts, they look cool. When _I_ wear them, people think I took pretty decent care of a shirt I bought in the 1900's... not exactly the same effect 😄 🤨 😭
Image is a photo of a new grey t-shirt with a distressed Star Wars logo on the chest, and the year "1977" printed below the logo. It is made to appear as if it is a vintage / original shirt.

I really wish social platforms would add the option to report scraper accounts, but we all know it wouldn't serve their own interest -- they'll never do it. We have to do the work ourselves.

This scraper account posts other people’s stuff without credit. They grudgingly post a separate attribution after the fact, if enough people call them out. Any time an account says “dm me if you own the original,” just put them on the block list. Don’t let these accounts get a foothold here.

I rarely delve into design critiques, but kudos to the graphic designer on their fantastic marriage of old & new styling to hawk Apple's latest tech. The classic font (Apple Garamond) slightly off-white in deference to it's legacy, the old rainbow logo, the pinstriping… just an excellent execution.
The image is a recent advertisement for the Apple Mac mini 2026. The background is rich black (black with small amounts of additional colors added, to make it appear a deeper black), and the ad brings back several classic elements of Apple advertising and branding from years gone by; rainbow pinstriping, the old rainbow-colored Apple logo, the classic "Think Different" tagline, the classic Apple font (Apple Garamond) used throughout the heyday of Apple's "Think Different" campaign -- even the white of the font is tinged sligtly off-white, in deference to the legacy of these classic elements.

Boulder, Colorado did this, ages ago. There was a LOT of trepidation from businesses, but it turned into an iconic part of the city –– now most people can't imagine it being any other way To ensure it doesn't stymie North/South flow, they'd probably need to leave Wolcott/Wood open at the mid-point

Didn't the court already order it to be taken down ages ago? Why is the scaffolding even still up? The judge needs to drag EVERY SINGLE PERSON involved with violating this court order into the courtroom to explain themselves -- wrong answers earn a stay in a room with bars for walls.

Talking to a friend about trivial, insignificant things that annoy us, yet we can and/or will do nothing about. For me? Subway tiles installed vertically instead of horizontally. Do we build houses with vertical bricks? No, because we're not monsters 🤣 Add your own — what drives YOU up the wall?

Before I shut down and left, I went back on my timeline to the earliest days –– it's virtually unrecognizable, in comparison to today's post-pandemic x Musk x Trump x AI social media superfund site. I would honestly go so far as to say it wasn't even a dumpster then, much less a toxic inferno.

A photograph of me (tmaaz), wearing my reading glasses... which I sometimes feel makes me appear judgmental. There is a caption across the lower third of the photo, that reads "reading glasses = persistent judgy face"

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

I have ennui!", to which is father responds "Well, you should have made peace with the absuridty ofhuman existence before we started driving!" -- under the cartoon, the caption reads "Dad eventually pulled over at a frozen lake, which represented the sublime beauty of impermanence, but he was pretty annoyed about it."

If a person's not sweating, becomes disoriented, starts to have a seizure, starts to vomit, or loses consciousness for more than a few seconds, they're potentially experiencing heat stroke, which can be fatal. Call 911 immediately, do whatever the dispatcher talks you through until responders arrive

St. Louis Metro: National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning today through July 3rd -- with high temperatures + high humidity, the Heat Index will be pushing 111ºF (43.88ºC).
image is of the sun shining brightly in the sky, with nearly no cloud cover, and an outdoor thermometer showing the outside temperature at over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (nearly 40 degrees Celsius), which can be dangerously hot -- even fatal -- when combined with excessive humidity.

That's a little on-the-nose, don't you think? 🫤 Typography matters, folks *sighs*
Picture is a photograph of a woman, smiling, while in a department store, holding up a package of what appears to be oval-shaped disposable paper plates, with a U.S. flag designer around the outer rim of the plates. In the center, in large type, it reads "United States of America 1776 - 2006" -- while meant to annotate the 250th anniversary of the USA, it reads and appears much more like a lifespan epigraph on a tombstone)
