Free idea for Apple: a setting where, if my watch detects that I'm in deep sleep, it delays the alarm until I'm more awake.

Feels like a story that should get some traction outside of bluesky dot app!

Other countries get to have nice things. Wish we did, too.

The snowman…is he, uh…?

In 1990, about 20 million animals a year were euthanized in kill shelters. Today, over half the shelters in the US are designated no-kill and less than 500,000 animals are euthanized.

I have a computer on my wrist that is something like a trillion times more powerful than what they used for the Apollo missions

Every week the great Ben Johnson costs his team points by being way too cute with his play calling. Just fucking play football.

The racism that Abdul El-Sayed is facing from Republicans, the press, and even some Democrats is so disgusting.

Someday I'll stop being surprised that Cal and Stanford are in the ACC. But today is not that day.

two bits of entropy

Drinking too much and doomscrolling.

Came over to feed my sister’s cats. Pixie is hiding, Pumpkin will only observe me from a safe distance. Come on out! I’m a friend!

Membership at Medinah. Hate me if you must.

Local friends! It's time for our annual Halloween show! This year I'll be playing in two sets, one as J. Geils and the other as Pearl Jam. The whole lineup is terrific and so is the cause, so if you're looking for something to do on the 30th, Beat Kitchen is the place to be.

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

I plan to post on linkedin exactly once in my life: on the day I retire. If you see anything before that, I've either been hacked or am being held hostage.

Exhausted in ways and at depths I never knew were possible in my younger days

What the house dems should do right now is promise Trump and the rest of them they're going to make Ilhan the speaker in January

President AOC needs to seize and nationalize Starlink on her first day in office. Maybe SpaceX too. The nazi can keep the rest until he goes to jail for his crimes against humanity and the law.

Peak Bartleby. Starving to death in debtor’s prison feels like a viable path forward.

Oh we will definitely keep that in mind, Palmer

Chicago was named the best big city in the United States for the 10th straight year. buff.ly/WCaGMgF

What’s great is that the owner of the team with the feel good story of the century is soon going to lead a ruthless lockout that could last a whole season. He hates baseball and all its fans with a white-hot passion. Enjoy the rest of the playoffs.

I’m just glad Ditka wasn’t alive to see this

I can go back to ignoring it now.

Oregon’s consistently bad uniforms are a bit, right? This has to be on purpose.

“When is a player offsides?” “Whenever anything exciting happens.”

It’s just gotta fucking *stop*

I think I’m a realist, carrying a healthy amount of cynicism and optimism in rough balance. I can handle this world we’ve made. But some days *waves hands* it all just fucking staggers me.

Very glad I’m nearing the end of my career, because either way I am nearing the end of my career.

You should just always walk Jose Ramirez, I think. Like even if the bases are loaded.

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the house of leaves. I’m at the combi s n e a v t a i e o l n fo esuoh & tuh azzip

Inertia is one hell of a drug
