The wind today, wowsers. 70-80mph gusts across the highway blowing cars between lanes. Rough out there.

37 degrees and snowing.
God damn it, Michigan!

No idea what’s happening here, but I support it.

ADHD is wild magic:

Chaotic. Unpredictable. Difficult to control. Devastatingly powerful when directed effectively.

Heard β€œwelcome to the group” from 5 solid musicians today. We are so back.

I’ll be ready to correct any white folks I see throwing tantrums. Anyone who looks like us better be ready for that.

What is it with men being incapable of scrolling up 4 lines to see the answer they just asked for?

Ohhhh!

Talarico is a real, genuine Christian. No wonder this regime is terrified of him.

β€œThe right people voting”, that sends shivers down my spine. As a judge of elections, I want all registered voters to be able and free to vote without fear or intimidation. So help me if anyone tries to interfere with that basic right. Please VOTE

Are you terrified yet?

make bad art
it's where you start
and sometimes where you end
do some shit
and publish it
or show it to a friend
make bad stuff!
it's good enough
and never ever stop
if someone tries
to criticize
say "what are you, a cop?"

Restart seems to fix most of these things, most of the time, but not consistentlyβ€”and restarting every single morning has been tedious.

Has iOS 26 been buggy AF for y’all?

Problems like:
- per-app time limits start every new day already maxed
- active Focus setting doesn’t change types as scheduled/prompted
- Focus behaving unexpectedly/inconsistently in general

Surprisingly, no. Still trying to get a handle on terms, but those are not among mine. Gotta sink more time into research after work.

Welllp. Just found out I’m allergic to ALL of these products I’ve been using for YEARS 😳

- hand soap
- body soap
- toothpaste
- leave-in conditioner

That…explains a few thingsβ€¦πŸ˜‚πŸ₯Ή

Today, it’s the expression β€œvaca.”

I try not to be a prescriptivist. But read the word. It sounds β€œvahkuh.”

Inb4: I would never choose not to shower for 4 days, but medical testing required it. Relieved to have that done!

Good GODLINGS it feels good to have espresso, a croissant, and a clean body after a 4-day grubby goblin grease fest (gross!)

Context: I catch myself doing this a lot. It reminds me most of how the US Southerners in my family would talk. Is it cultural, learned behavior? A lean toward the imperative? Hmm

Surely it’s informal. But is it rude or anything broadly worse?

Anyone else notice the tendency to omit from speech:

A. Verbs of being (is/are/am)
and/or
B. The 1st-person, self-referential noun (β€œI” but not β€œme)

Examples:
β€œDone working”
β€œBe there soon”
β€œGonna/Finna do that”

What’s going on there, aside from efficiency? Does it come off lazy or disrespectful?
