"ASAP" really does hit different than "as soon as possible", and I'm really not sure why.

Same part of the brain that processes "OK" vs "ok" vs "Ok." I guess.

I was prepared to learn about all kinds of ways Tesla is a horrible, amoral company, but I didn’t really expect to get such clear evidence so quickly that it is engaged in a conspiracy to kill people and defraud its own customers.

The sun “sets” into the clouds over Puget Sound, the long trail of the sun’s rays bouncing off the water

Here it is, your moment of zen

Orange-flavored green.

So many songs to choose from…

…anyway, there goes Wonderwall

I didn’t expect to be this precisely attacked this morning

this is what you look like as a Harry Potter fan in 2025

A large very fluffy white dog sitting smiling across an intersection in front of the entrance of a farmers market with a whole lot of people and large colorful triangular shaped flags

IMPORTANT UPDATE i had help at the market this week from ✨the goodest girl ever✨

If I had a 30-pin to USB adapter, it would NEED to go into The Bin of Saving because of the small but never zero chance I find myself owning a 2005 Scion xB again.

this is one of my ultimate “could never get away with this today” movies

genuinely an impeccable way to teach kids that poverty is an artificial social construct and the cops use violence to enforce it

also Friar Tuck is one of cinema’s greatest Catholics I am serious

When I’m hanging out with my friends and telling the same story they’ve already heard a dozen times

Every time I do, it makes me laugh

Let’s do this Friday Nightsky. You’re listening to your local alternative rock station on the radio in your car on your shitty commute in 2005. What’s playing?

The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations “In recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...

"Writers have been using me long before the advent of AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here."

Ok, let’s try this. Tried the new location of Radiator Whiskey in Ballard. I’m biased because I love the Pike Place location. As the name implies, brown-liquor fwd establishment with a southern inspired menu. Open late (for Ballard)!

Dish-specific thoughts in the alt text. #BiteSky🍴

The #HotRatSummer has everything: an epic mural, the city repeatedly painting over it, the community repeatedly uncovering it and cleaning it up, 3 different city agencies all pointing to each other, and at least two city council people trying to get in on the latest cleaning for brownie points.

How the Hell do you miss nominating Denise Gough?

Nobody will remember these white lotus performances after this year but EVERYONE will remember Denise and her portrayal in Andor for decades.

Fuck Gavin Newsom.

Anybody paying attention hates Gavin Newsom.

I would, if my job didn’t depend on it.

There is some delivery service that has a scanner that, when they scan the package, emits a happy little three note song to indicate success I guess.

It is the *exact* same song my fridge uses to let me know I've left the door open.

I will NEVER not notice a neighbor getting a package delivered. 😕

A view of strawberries in various states of ripeness from pale green to ruby red along with large deep green leaves against the backdrop of silvery aged cedar

Y’all my strawberries are still going strong

Two hanging green orb-shaped tomatoes on the Purple Zebra plant. They’re a little larger than a shooter marble and regular marble.

Two hanging pale green oblong tomatoes on the Marzinera plant. They’re maybe a half inch and inch long.

A cluster of round pale green tomatoes on a vine. They’re largest is marble sized. Some have a slightly pointy tip. Another vine with flowers and several pea sized tomatoes is visible above.

Several groups of oblong hanging plum tomatoes in clusters on the Beaverlodge plant. They’re largest largest one is about egg sized and is shiny, it might ripen soon.

Also I have so many lil green tomatoes happening! I planted 9 varieties of tomatoes and most have tomato nubs now! Below are Purple Zebra, Heirloom Marriage Marzinera, Mountain Magic, and Beaverlodge 6808 🌱

Despite going deeper every time I need to build out this or that report, any time I start something new my DAX brain is just... not. Like I'm pulling the starter cord, it sputters, aaaaaaand... nothing.

I need to start blogging this stuff if only to get my thoughts into my web search results again.

The best part?

My kingdom for the knowledge of how to tell #MSEdge to actually load all the tabs I have in a workspace, even those I don't actually engage with often.

I could swear that there was a setting before—not sure if the setting's gone because IT rules, just gone, or if I'm totally making it up in my head
