Ooh, wonder where I could see that in the U.S., maybe Youtube? I mainly watch the MLS but would be down for other leagues

That said! I totally read the shit out of Harrow the Ninth

I'm totally okay with third person but please don't make me read second for anything longer than a short story 😬

The main reason I don't ebike in a city is I am terrified of it getting stolen when I park anywhere

I would think you have the emotional intelligence to ascertain the credibility of your partner, just saying

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

It's such a great album... Glycerine! 😍

I was reliving some of my Brandi Carlile concert videos and trying to pick one I could share to illustrate how she made an arena of 20,000 people feel like the Aladdin Theater, but they were taking long to load and I realized that communal experience doesn't translate to video

I work for state government and yes, no, there is a special block of PTO

Now seriously considering that Bush show because my only concert buddy, a high school friend, would go with me to that one. Going to check on ole time off at the day job before I make up my mind. Weeknight show up there means taking the morning off!

Hans Moleman in a telephone booth being attacked by birds saying “ No, that's too stupid.”

Whenever a shitpost gets no likes

I want a Switch 2 but I've been holding off till they get more games, but processing power may be an influencing factor

The reason why I still read conservative news outlets like the WSJ and The Economist is that they value evidence and evidentiary standards. I usually disagree with them, but as long as they provide evidence for their viewpoint I consider it. The American right hates evidence these days

I have more in common with any Iranian than with any of the ghouls who have run my country my whole life

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the President of the United States. Happy 250 years of independence. 🤦‍♂️

Hmm, for once I may not have time to read tomorrow! Hope to go to the gym, clean a bit and go see Wuthering Heights in the theater. I do feel like I read 3 hours a day, I could cut back. It's my morally superior form of bed rotting, lol

I read the WSJ and The Economist to balance out MS Now and CNN and I feel somewhat heartened that even the fact-based conservative news is calmly reporting the U.S. shitshow with a distinct underlying tone of "WTF is this"

Yep. It surprised me that people value writers so little

It was even a thing for an alt newspaper I freelanced for that paid 5 cents a word... they claimed that because we agreed to work off the books and it was such a low rate, that they needed to pay the electrician first. And they championed articles about labor issues & homelessness, ironic

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I cannot believe I totally forgot about Spring Forward tomorrow. Something about that hour completely wrecks my whole equilibrium for at least a week after. Even jet lag isn't that bad

The only POV that really sticks out to me no matter the skill of the author is second person. It is hard to execute that one well for anything longer than a short story...

My next show will be Aimee Mann on March 13 in Portland. I thought that would be too soon after Brandi, but I think it'll be a quiet acoustic set that ends at 10, and I can stay with my parents in LO!

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

I don't require motivation to go to the gym other than that my sanity depends on it

Almost done with Book 2 in the Cal Hooper series and I don't love it as much as the first one. I do not care as much about the gold scam and Johnny Reddy. So far it's 3 stars unless it wows me by the end... Hopefully Book 3, my ARC, is better! #booksky

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

I only went to the gym twice in February, but I found it hard to adapt to going to shows and working out, plus seasonal depression. I swear if I go out one night I have to stay home the rest of the week. But I am re-committed to exercise in March. I just have to do it tired I guess 🫠

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Ooh! Been thinking of seeing them but they are the same week as Iron & Wine when they come out here... have so much fun! They seem badass live
