At a time of such turmoil, strife, and uncertainty, I'm here to remind you that The Monitor by Titus Andronicus fucking rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFHl...
It is such a pleasant a warm day in New York, and it will get dark later starting tonight.
I wonder how Bluesky is going to spin this into a negative.
Who are the motherfuckers getting 99s on their Oura ring? What are their lives like? Do they not know stress or the pain of existence?
This is my snowman. I made him when I should’ve been working on edits for my novel. When he melts, I’ll probably still be putting off that same work.
Zohran just yelled at all of NYC.
Lotta people talking about the RAM shortage and AI hogging up all the RAM but let me tell you, there's no shortage of RAM in this house www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvUk...
So now I have to start saying "my wife got accosted by TSA at the Donald J. Trump International Airport in 2013"?
K. Good to know.
Who needs a laptop when you have AI?
After 12 years of using them, maybe it's time for me to admit defeat against the tyranny of read-it-later apps.
I'm never going to get to the things I've saved on Instapaper, starred on my RSS reader, or bookmarked on my podcast player. Burn it all down. Life is better without more queues.

Wish I had as much enthusiasm and drive in finishing my novel as I do in building custom split keyboards I can use to one day finish my novel.

As someone who followed Too Human’s development since 1998 (it had a big feature in EGM) I bought consoles based on which one would have Too Human. Eternal Darkness was made because they were gonna close if they didn’t release something. Not my best decision, but played great games in the process.
I really want to be a dad, but I also still love the freedom of being able to come home, eat cereal, and watch Murphy Brown until I fall asleep on the couch.
Day off from work. The two people I had meetings scheduled with — both Brits — were wholly understanding of me taking a day. The ten people who messaged me on LinkedIn on Saturday/Sunday and were incensed by my lack of response on a Monday holiday can kick rocks.
Some people make intricate plans for three-day weekends, mapping out every hour to maximize their mini-vacation.
Others take an edible and watch Murphy Brown off the Internet Archive for hours on end.
I am actively working on a solution for this that doesn’t (necessarily) require the social web while still supporting indie journalists. But I do think the open social web helps.
Lot of attention and new followers today, and want to keep the kind vibes going and pay it forward.
Will donate ALL proceeds from Cameos until 2/13 to Lancaster Neighbor Fund, who supports immigrants right in my city of welcome. Kindness onward.

Easily one of the best books I’ve read in years, if not ever.
I just bought my second GMK70 on there thanks to your influence.
Oh man maybe the good times ARE not that far behind.
Lost my job at the Washington Post today, along with many of the best in the business. I want to keep covering tech and the internet. If you have leads on jobs for me or my colleagues, please reach out. I’m so proud of our work.
cover of The Washington Post on Wednesday Feb 4, 2026. Headline on bottom, right: Musk wanted to hook users; his chatbot got more sexual
My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
Signing back onto BlueSky to let you know that if you're having a bad day, just listen to the Carpenters. It's perfect bad day music.
My cat passed away in my arms yesterday. I don’t know if this appropriate for this place — especially since it seems everything bad is happening all the time on here — but I miss her so much. What do I get out of sharing this? I don’t know. But I miss her.
My weekend plans are as follows:
-Listen to Tori Amos
-Read

My friend’s parents bought that first Carvel in Hartsdale, NY, and he and I would sit in the walk in, eat flying saucers and play Sega Game Gear. So I have fond memories of soft serve.
But perhaps the best reason to hate soft serve is that Margaret Thatcher was slightly involved in its invention.
RIP Bob Weir. Your most annoying friends are going to tell you, the non-Grateful Dead Listener, which “vintages” to find online but this is as good as it gets: youtu.be/QNSVVZmlxt4?...
