I’m glad you got to go, though! Georgy and Elisabeth are frickin’ brilliant, so I know you were in good hands.

Might not work for everyone, but I've found listening to this John Zorn/Mary Halvorson track very loud on repeat to be highly therapeutic.

Playing New Order's Brotherhood (*maybe* at a excessive volume level) and when there's the record skip at the end of Every Little Counts my dad runs in yelling WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT thinking I'd trashed his expensive phono cartridge. (This was also clearly a comment on my musical taste in general.)

Mount Washington's billboard drops its Iron City facade — and is replaced by a law firm The southern horizon of Pittsburgh is looking a little less distinctly representative of the city this week, as the Iron City Beer advertisement featured...

In the tradition of "Acrisure Stadium," the Alcoa/Beyer/Iron City sign now says "Pond Lehocky"? If you're going to plaster the name of a personal injury law firm on Mt. Washington, at *least* make it Edgar Snyder.

A man in a turban holds Duolingo the owl in the air. The text below the image reads perfect lesson! You made zero mistakes. Unlike in real life.

I have not seen those ones, but this end of lesson screen always seems unnecessarily snarky about my real life

For my third Bluesky post, I’d like to share that I’m now an elder around here.

I'm still not sure what I'll use Bluesky for, but this seems like a good place to start: next week I start a new position as a content strategist at OHO Interactive. I'm joining @radiofreegeorgy.bsky.social's team and I couldn't be more excited!

I haven’t tried invoking my own dead engineer dad to help with home projects but I should. Every time he comes to me in dream, he asks me to hold something or hand him a tool while he fixes something. He seems ready to pitch in?
