Just realizing I can mute people I don’t even follow. What a blessing!
Dunno if I’m just a jaded planner these days, but even being in the line of work that I’m in, nothing is quite as cringe as when I see people posting self-righteously about urban living.
I noticed that Warby Parker sells readers. Are people really spending a hundred bucks on the glasses you can get for $3 in the checkout lane?
Nice and sunny PNW day. Had to hit the food cart pod near my house for a beer and some grub. #today
Tried out #ivory and #mammoth the last couple months but I’m loving the #icecubes iOS client the most.
One thing that’s huge for me is that the entire person’s @ is always visible, allowing you to see from where a post originated. Also just a clean and thoughtful implementation with plenty of customization without being overwhelming. I especially like the drop down menu at top to change feeds, and ability to follow other instances.
Maybe I’m weird, but I think Raisin Bran as a nighttime snack is underrated.
Our grocery loader had a ulilikilt this morning. First time seeing one in the wild. I don’t blame them, either.
“In an odd twist, Astoria Chief of Police Stacy Kelly tells KOIN 6 News that the man, identified as Jericho Labonte, was the same person who left a dead fish on the porch of the Goonies House.

My wife and I have read 3 to 5 books per night to our son since he was about 18 months old. Every single night for 2.5 years. So it’s pretty safe to say we’re kind of experts on children’s books at this point. By FAR the absolute lowest effort books are the Hot Wheels ones. Can’t even believe this garbage was published.
I don’t eat Taco Bell very often, but when I do, you can bet it’s because there’s one located in the Home Depot parking lot.
One of my favorite lyrics of all time:
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band. I told him, ‘Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime.'

If it weren’t for bills and the occasional email from long lost friends, I’d probably just get rid of e-mail altogether.
Are there folks out there who actually leave their email notifications ON? Given that the vast majority of stuff that hits my inbox is garbage, I just have Gmail mark everything as read the moment it arrives. If it’s important, I’ll find it.
It’s strange that I’m in my early 40s and I still have to pretty regularly remind people that I’m in fact a Millennial. It’s like a lot of people older than me have solidified in their minds the image of a Millennial as a snot-nosed 20 something with unrealistic expectations, content on shaking up the workplace. A lot of us are jaded old curmudgeons too now who just want to be left alone. Oh, and get off my lawn.
Closing in on 8 years in this town and the only lasting friendships I’ve made are a couple of prior coworkers I see once or twice a year. Men are weird and male loneliness is an epidemic. #pdx
"You're living this very bare, stripped down life, and you're with your thoughts, and you're hearing about terrible things and it's really scary," she says,…'why do I live a thousand miles away from my parents? Why have I chosen to work so hard that actually I'm not sure I really like my job; but I know I really love my kids, and I don't really think I want to work this way anymore.'" https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2023/01/31/1152162432/how-the-pandemic-changed-the-rules-of-personal-finance
It’s sad to click on the Wikipedia page of an artist you’ve just discovered, only to have the first verb be in the past tense. Was…
Sometimes I think about all of the incredible music created in the 80s and how I managed to be born into a family of hair metal fans. A profoundly unfortunate comedy if you ask me.
