Thanks, Hinge, for consistently suggesting women who have ghosted me as possible matches.

Amazon Instagram ads are pushing Wish quality merchandise.

I hope it burns the same.

Had lunch either an old coworker from over a decade ago and marvelling at how separated I am from that version of me.

This post does not sync with my recent LinkedIn professionalism push.

I’ve reach the stage of middle-aged where I’ve given up on pants while at home.

I wish AI-stans would just accept that they are starting a religion.

“Screen Time” apps are to phones as “Truth Initiative” is to tobacco. Both totally funded by what they are fighting.

My friend went car-less for over a year and every time I am on a bus or train I am tempted to do the same.

Took the bus from the Denver airport: public transit makes you feel so powerful.

I used to want a more powerful computer for games. Now it is to run giant Excel sheets with macros.

The last influencer content I emotionally engaged with was AIM away messages.

Man sitting in this coffee shop playing reels at full volume.

Watching a Sonic 2 speed run to feel like a child again.

Big money moves.

Sometimes I miss Utah Twitter.

I took a sick day because I felt sick. I felt better a few hours later and judged myself for giving up on work. 🇺🇸

I have laughed at myself about this so many times.

I helped out at the elections department of our county clerk today and I am always so impressed with how devoted they are to democracy.

Me: I don’t know why I am still single.

Also me:

Successfully prevented myself from asking a stranger how I knew them—remembering later that they just pop up as a suggested friend on Instagram only.

Booted up the old Animal Crossing save.

I know this conservative-coded but why did we settle on minimum wage jobs needing to pay for a two-bedroom apartment as an affordability metric?

I’m 39 and at a bar at 11:30PM. Do I pretend I have the energy to keep going or resign to my age?

The satisfying feeling of engaging your molars when eating a French fry.

Doing my annual red-state chore of refreshing my water supply.

A week ago I discovered my wax ring failed and now my bathroom looks better than it ever has.

Thank you, McDonald’s. Truly you are the path to salvation.

Watching an elderly man help his wife eat a hamburger at McDonalds just made my heart explode. 💖

Want to go outside but the pollen is trying to kill me.

Ok but I also don’t buy things pretty much every day.
