I get super pumped when I solve a "very tricky" NYT Connections puzzle without mistakes 💪 but it's really ego-crushing when I barely can solve a "straightforward" puzzle 😅

"people would think about this stuff more rationally if it were a TV show... Why did they really do what they did?... people have a clarity about fictional stuff that they don't have for real-world things like war, health insurance, the cost of eggs and gestapo tactics" scripting.com/2026/01/09.h...

for me, it started to hit home with Bowie... it's been really fucking sad to see all the artists of the generation that formed me die one by one

Things I would study more if I had time There's so much I want to learn and so little time in the day!

I wrote about what I want to spend more time learning, someday, for #blogvent day 17!

I loved this post so much! I have a similar backlog of things I would love to learn about, although I never actually made a list 🙃 Thanks for sharing 🤗 I now have more items on my non-list 🤭 (book publishing and El Camino de Santiago went right to the top)

Doing NYT Pips and I need to know how many 6's I have, so I start counting: "1 six, 2 six, red six, blue six..."

Fart is making a comeback — as a shit

Realizing that NYT Connections game only exists because English is so difficult a language that even very intelligent people find it challenging to know what words mean when there are no contextual clues. Some people weirdly find that entertaining ✋ but I can imagine it being really frustrating 😅

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

what an incredible mood! 😍

JPEGs, huh? Jimmy just made me question my entire existence.

Jimmy is awesome! He's an independent Apple tech support guru based in SF, but he visits DC regularly (and offers remote support, too). Not only does he know everything - I had no idea I could take my screenshots as JPEGs - he's incredibly nice and he shares gorgeous photos in his newsletter.

oh yeah, I love it! back when we did that Share Your OPML reboot, we used WordPress for the whole backend! ❤️

that would explain a lot

"The memory of your youth, there it is." - THAT'S what it is! I've been having this reaction to so many this-is-not-a-song-people-cry-to songs the past few years and I thought there was something wrong with me! 😅

Nothing humbles me as much as the NYT Connections Bot telling me today's puzzle had a 1/5 difficulty 🤔

People are lonelier than ever, so here is a robot you can talk to. It won't make you less lonely but it will drive you insane. That will be five thousand dollars.

Not only is this not crazy, this is absolutely brilliant! "Hippie love" might actually be the answer we've been searching for to the question of how on earth to counter the divisive, hate-filled attacks by the ultra-wealthy on American society that brought us to this point. Unite behind love! ❤️☮️
