It’s a great time. Probably even better with a mug NeoCitran!

Have you watched the doc LISTERS? It’s irreverent but fun!

I heard it described as, “a birdwatching doc, but punk rock.”

I was as surprised as you are!

Fighting with my 4yo about who gets to finish the cod liver

Tumblr post from every-lemon Sep 8 so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff. they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed. I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

Follow up tumblr post every-lemon Sep 9 it was a smash hit. a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud. he was home by 6:30am.

dudes rock

Seems like everyone just wants everyone to mad about everything all the time. We should be outraged by the outrage (and click, of course).

Feels like the only way to beat this is to unhook our nervous systems from the internet… McLuhan had some good points on this.

If generations of the enslaved boldly prayed for freedom while never seeing it themselves, why am I acting like it’s the end of the world that I can’t order safety and justice to my door on an app.

Thank you for assigning this weekend project 😁

I gave Darn Tough socks to everyone I love for Christmas last year…

I do this quite often with sugar and eggs. I sometimes return with baked goods 😁

Love this piece!

Saving this for later.

A good reminder to continue my (first) playthrough!

Ah, exciting!

It’s wild.

I still can’t believe this guy said this. What more proof do people need that this is a bubble? What exactly do you think “overbuild” means other than “the demand isn’t there”? When will everybody stop running the stupid asshole Olympics?

“Not only is the ratio of AI’s resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, AI-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.”

A parade of failures — you love to see it!

Hopefully we can laugh this crap into oblivion like we did with the metaverse.

I’m canceling every subscription that licks a boot.

Keep it up (and keep that list 💪)

I don’t give a shit what the newest iPhone scored. I pay a sub for people to ask WHY something matters and to look into it.

I mostly just stick to the reading. Posting is too much work…

I forgot how I started following you on here, but you’re great. Keep it up!

trying to identify a song with a group people sans internet is fuel for a good 20-30 minutes of chat

A too online man came to Jesus and asked, “What must I do to receive eternal life?”
Jesus told him to keep the
commandments, to which the man replied that he had. Jesus then told him to delete his accounts and stop trolling. When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was based.

Weight is the way 💪

It’s a lovely show, isn’t it? About to sit down with my 4yo and watch it a bit.

Whatever its merits, the internet has become a psychologically destructive force. You will be happier and healthier if you don’t spend excess amounts of time online. Stop scrolling. Water your garden. Read a book to your kids. You will not regret a life spent in this world.

Full-body cringe.

Cosplay christians 👎

Turbo Hauss is a great little bar/music venue. The owner, Sergio, is a solid guy.

The Burgundy Lion is another solid spot with the biggest whisky collection in the province, but that’s more of chill vibe.
