This is the positive prediction I needed in 2025.

Yeah, the last two nights it’s sounded like lightning was hitting my roof directly. And it looks like we get round 3 tonight!

Can’t we have one space where we’re not expected to join a teams meeting? Damn.

Everything is a nightmare this week. Who wants to see a picture of my baby dog, Twyla?

Loving the lengthy detour into Ted Leo on the new 60 songs by @harvilla.bsky.social

One of the best shows I saw in the 00s was Ted Leo @ Magic Stick in Detroit. It was coincidentally the same night that Malice at the Palace happened. Was wild to have that on the screens and Pharmacists on stage.

I was a tiny child for the 1988 Pistons run and I still remember that sting. Brutal.

Michael from The Good Place underneath text that says “The Committee is terrible. The Titanic is sinking and they’re writing strongly worded letters to the iceberg.” 

And yeah, that’s the Democratic Party.

I’m just going to drop this relevant quote from The Good Place. The Good Place Committee and the Democratic Party are the same.

On repeat for years for me in the 90s! Basically the summer anthem album.

Listening to the new 60 songs - 2000s and there is, once again, a shared music experience to @harvilla.bsky.social

Today’s is a St. Andy’s shout out. Legit, one of my all-time favorite venues. In my record store employee era, I managed to catch the White Stripes and Weezer there. Glorious!

I need the street taco sized chicken chalupas to come back. They were the best thing I’ve had from Taco Bell since they killed the grilled fajita wrap.

The way I overthink it: have I been looking too long? Do I need to look away to not be weirdly intense? What do I do with my face?!

I psyched to try this nose bridge tip.

Exactly that! I have no problem with PhDs authoritatively sharing all their hard-earned knowledge from their field. I struggle with folks using the Dr. title to gain credibility speaking as though they’re medical experts while not making it easy to discern their area of study.

Thank you for sharing what she is a “doctor” of. Anytime I see a person dispensing medical opinions who also refers to themself as Dr without an MD/DO, my skepticism is activated.

My 9yo has been working it into songs. Yes he’s been influenced by his xennial mom.

“open up my eager eyes, cause I’m chicken jock-kay,” or

“1-2-3-4 take the elevator cause the chicken jockeys coming up to getcha”

No popcorn was thrown in the making of this post.

YEP! I manage 2 single-area focused journals. We run articles that reach differing conclusions and commentaries offering opposing perspectives.

So while we publish opposing viewpoints, we won't publish badly designed studies or pseudoscience. So if this is RFK-fueled, it probably doesn't count.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Ollie likes to sleep on pillows. I like to take pictures of it whenever it happens.
