for better or for worse i learn all my indian politics from @thebugle.bsky.social , praying-hands-emoji for the next installment

me, sobbing: you can’t just nod sagely and invoke uneven and combined development tooze, pointing at monkey shortages:

"can you explain this gap in your resume" it's an overfull hbox, badness 10000

Social media must be destroyed of course but it’s gonna be sad to lose the feeling of discovering your stray delusion is mass psychosis

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

Today my toddler asked how tall the coin collecter for paid parking was and I said "one Meter"

Vu ce midi, la meilleure pancarte pour l'instant: "La police nous prothèse"

sometimes i get annoyed when people confuse watts and joules, not to mention kWh/minute. but then i remember that when i was a kid, the local utility rebranded itself from duke power to duke energy 🤷

prolly the new book i have been most excited about this year!

On comprend mieux ici pourquoi l'exécutif est intéressé par une interdiction aux moins de 15 ans, mais aussi pourquoi cette interdiction ne doit pas être appliquée !

a lot of people don't know that the best titus andronicus song was written by their former drummer and released exclusively for record store day in 2013 and is only otherwise available on youtube where i am 1/4 of its views

Oh no.

this is a delightful series of books, my 8yo has devoured them all!
