Ah. The ‘2-5 days on, 1 day off’ work schedule. The ever-present battle on that day off to choose between

1. Rest

2. Giant Pile of Things I Want To Do

3. 5 Things I Need To Do (But I’m Going To Rest By Wasting Time Choosing Something I Want To Do Instead Within Limited Time Constraints)

A lot of discussion right now about How To Fix All This and one of my ideas is the Toddler New Deal. Policies based on stuff like "Clean up after yourself" and "You have to share with the other kids"

Ssomething for this windy day. A neighbour’s wind anemone. #Bloomscrolling #flowers #spring #wind

Omg they’re going w “high oil prices are good, actually.” God bless ‘em.

Report: President Donald Trump Is Giving 'All The Boys' Dress Shoes That Don't Fit Right | Defector It goes without saying that there is a great deal of Psychology going on in Donald Trump’s second term. None of it is especially complicated, because the people involved are without exception clammy, ...

Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...

4-panel comic: Astronomers asking researchers from different departments to help them identify the “little red dots” in JWST images: (1) Entomologists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 2 with shoulder-length hair.] PERSON 2: Clover mites. (2) Computer Scientists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 3 with beanie.] PERSON 3: Stuck pixels. (3) Dermatologists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 4 with ponytail.] PERSON 4: Cherry angiomas. (4) Graphic designers [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 5 with short hair.] PERSON 5: No, those are vermillion, or maybe jasper. Can I see your color settings?

Comic. [Person with long hair announcing news. There are images of a sun with a smiley face labelled “last week” and a sun with a frowny face labeled “today.”] PERSON: A warning for solar flares and geomagnetic storms has been issued after new images from the solar and heliospheric observatory show that the big smiley face on the sun has turned into a frown.

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Surely nothing bad has ever happened when a critical mass of the population feel that their future has been ripped out from under them and that the only thing they have to look forward to is the steady erosion of their standard of living. Surely that always turns out fine.

I cooked a huge dinner and watched 101 dalmations for the first time in 30? years. Long enough for the last time I saw it to have been before I could even understand the words!

A great cozy moment in between heavier shows and news, esp after a long day of work.

Have the house to myself for maybe a couple weeks. It’s been 4 days and I’m finally past the Lonely Taking Every Chance To Leave The House To Visit People stage and into the Whohoo I’m Staying In All Night Freedom stage.

It is deeply annoying how extremely well this works for me.

So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other

4-panel comic. (1) [Person with white hat talking to another person.] PERSON 1 with white hat: As Sherlock Holmes said, When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (2) PERSON 2: What about the possibility that you forgot to eliminate a possibility? Or that you eliminated one incorrectly? Both of those remain, too. (3) PERSON 1: You’re being pedantic. It’s just a general rule for deduction. PERSON 2: But it’s a *bad rule*. (4) PERSON 2: How often have you thought, “I can’t find this thing, and I’ve searched the whole house. The only place I haven’t looked is the car, so it *must* be there.” PERSON 2: ...And then it’s never in the car. PERSON 1: *It’s never in the car!*

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

A pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Safeway is $9.99. If I bought one every day for a year, that's $3,646.35. The average price of a house in the United States is $400,000. It would cost about 109 years of daily rotisserie chickens to buy that house.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.
