Sunday scaries but make it Thursday

I just tried to find time in my calendar to deal with panic attacks. Yes I think something is wrong with me.

This is peak LA.

There is deeper meaning behind this but this almost daily evening rain can go eff all the way off.

This has been playing non-stop in our house for the past week. The phrase “fit check for my napalm era” is now house canon.

To prepare for my trip to Tokyo, I am watching the seminal documentary The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

I usually depend on past passport stamps but lots of countries don’t even stamp anymore 😢

It’s all a ploy to distract us from the @cloudflare.social outage!

(I can’t believe I have to state that I’m kidding but I’m sure there’s a conspiracy theorist or two out there that’s like, YEAH IT IS)

My Teams notifications today:

ngl as things have gotten more expensive and I’ve gotten older, I have found myself getting more kids meals than I had ever expected and that’s resulted in more nuggs in my life

I buy two of them so it looks like I’m buying them for my kids but really I just want 2 toys and lots of chicken nuggets

Can't afford it, tariffs.

I’m always afraid I’m going to get flagged in the airport due to the absurd amount of biscuits I haul home from Marks and Spencer every time I’m in the UK.

My sense is, the people who are really good at something respect expertise in other fields. Taylor is confident enough to say “I need to find someone as good at security as I am at pop music, pay them accordingly, and LISTEN TO THEM.”

Just spent literal hours building up whatever flight history I could dig up into Flighty. Turns out I go to the same places over and over again.

Only at Din Tai Fung are green beans a guilty pleasure.

Tell me you’re at a Chinese restaurant without telling me you’re at a Chinese restaurant.

In the middle, 2018 Paperwhite. I only want to upgrade so I can get rid of this last micro-USB cord but can’t bring myself to do it.

I’m getting non-stop bombarded with anxiety/depression/ADHD gamification apps on Insta. “Do you want to gain XP for a cute animal friend just by brushing your teeth?”

At this point I’m like, yeah I should just trust the algorithm, I probably have ADHD and need this.

I hate that I’m of the age where I clicked on this link out of *interest*.

New office keyboard!

⌨️ Royal Kludge R87 Pro because I need my F-keys
🐧 Akko Penguin Silents so my office mates won’t hate me
👔 Reasonable keycaps because ✨professional✨

As of tonight, it’s official. I did not make it to any nights of the Eras tour.

At a professional lacrosse game and the team mascot is literally a blonde white guy with a trust fund.

“In fact, I designed and built the gen AI that creates all those owl variations everyone loves.”

Perfect opportunity for a detailed yet completely made up backstory.

Playing tennis in 35°F weather is certainly a choice.

Sadly this is why PowerPoint gets more play time than VS Code these days.

Liquid cooled Azure server racks! So cool. (no pun intended) #MSIgnite

Watched some of the stage magic happen from afar, love seeing this stuff being made live!

“Hey, I was there in the same vicinity! That counts as almost meeting them, right?”
