I have the memory of an elephant. He was getting a bath at the zoo.

The people who object to paying property tax are the same people who oppose bike lanes and building multifamily housing in the neighborhood and student debt relief. They see themselves as conservative or libertarian but in reality they just want government to focus on serving their interests.

Normalize asking when multi-billion dollar highway projects will turn a profit like people constantly ask about million-dollar train projects

if you’re charging $40 for your haunted house i better be able to fuck a ghost or at the very least make pottery with one.

had this crazy idea that when I look at my gmail spam folder, another message shows up from one sender. turns out it's true! 25/130 messages in the past week from that one sender shows up ~0.06s after I mark a previous one read. fucking tracking pixel

I paused the print to remove a blob and when I hit resume, the printer moved over the same spot and oozed out a fresh blob before starting up again.

If seed oils accidentally get into your food you can put it in the microwave with a ball of aluminum foil. The foil interacts with the seed oils in such a way that it removes the toxins or whatever stupid bullshit you think is in there, or whatever. Put aluminum foil in the microwave with your food.

Was thinking about this today. Windows installs (by default) to C-drive, "C:\" It's called that because early computers had up to two floppy drives, "A:\" & "B:\". Software developers hard-coded that into early programs & then it just became the default assumption, even after floppies went away.

Sat next to a crying baby for the entire flight. I don't mind though. Feel like they were the only other passenger who truly grasped the unnatural horror of our undertaking. Man does not belong to the sky. The real monsters are those who remain silent.

openai and anthropic are like oops we hacked somebody again but if I try to reverse engineer my 5-year-old LCD's firmware I get blocked for "cyber"

Planting palms along highways and around interchanges is stupid. They cast no shade, require regular maintenance, and become projectiles in big storms. But hey, look, it's Florida!

ME: everything in this vending machine costs less than a dollar but it doesn't give change COWORKER: that makes no sense ME: i literally just said that carl

one time I got lunch with a cow-orker. I carefully peeled back the foil and took a bite, look up, and half his fucking burrito was gone! "I guess I've always been a fast eater" I never went to lunch with him again

The year is 2035. Flock cameras are everywhere. You step out of your home and hear a voice coming from somewhere overhead, possibly close to the streetlight next to you. It's me. "Collar gap."

Urbanist Don Draper. If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation. They call the 15-minute city a prison. It’s not a perimeter, it’s time. Time you get back from the highway. Time to drink a coffee on a patio. You aren't trapped. You're finally home.
