It's infuriating when modern TV shows have wrong words. Clearly transcribed once, no checking. Not using the script. Just "eh good enough".

I bought the first volume in print when it was on kickstarter. Funny enough I've never opened it. I should... And get caught up because the world building and writing is so good.

Raise your hand if you really don't care about the "super game" being run by a $20B corporation that promotes a game where 40%+ kids that play it and 91% of their pros have life long brain injuries (CTE's) and has on average 10-16 fatalities a year that's on the air right now.

It doesn't matter that it's a weekday and you have work. That your back is sore. That the world is burning.

When your son looks at you with big sleepy eyes and asks for waffles... And you can make waffles... You make waffles. #breakfast #waffles

Maybe companies should just own themselves and be beholden to their customers instead of their investors. Crazy thought I know

They're not law enforcement, they're criminals, would-be murderers and cross-burners now empowered by the State.
The kindness has ended. It's ever more clear the only remedy is to ensure they are too afraid to do anything.

People significantly underestimate how much automation is going on with social media manipulation. The volume is insane and much of it is indistinguishable from a real account.

Hey. Deep breath. You pile up a lot on yourself to communicate with the world. You can be okay. You can be not okay. But you will still be.

The twist: they're really down-to-Earth and practical. The kind of squirrel who saves diligently for unexpected costs, gets their oil changed on time, and has a geo-tagged list of where they buried their nuts.

Who does the word list for @nytimes.com #SpellingBee? It needs an update...

After being off for ~3 weeks I have 560 unread email and 54 chat messages.

Honestly, not bad.

Today's #ADHDiscovery:

What: A bottle of kids conditioner and container of kitchen toothpicks, still in the shopping bag

Where: Cubby in my bedroom closet, between two sets of sheets.

Things I love about @dropout.tv #57387: when they have a technical issue they drop the need tea in their apology email. #ItsAlwaysDNS

Meanwhile...

suburb coyotes: will eat your pets, children, grandmothers

city coyotes: that's just alonze, he does small animal control on night shift and sometimes pops into the bodega for a drink when it's hot

ADHD means you likely also literally have a bunch of unused gift cards you keep forgetting to use...

Ohio State University banned the long-standing practice of students writing on sidewalks with chalk. The excuse being "complaints" - despite the ephemeral nature of chalk, which washes off in rain.

One wonders if perhaps #OSU students, now denied soft, temporary words, must now "paint" more loudly.

Me: I couldn't get cash out of the machine because I forgot to open the mail with my new ATM card I got 60 days ago

Also me: I need to measure my eye distance, I'll just grab the digital calipers I left on a random shelf six months ago. I know exactly where they are.
