The answer to most of these matters is more coffee.

Did I go to grad school just so I could spend 10 hours watching someone else install a sanitary sewer? Well, evidently I did.

I’m doubtful that any associated structures are extant in Grafton or Port Washington because I feel like I would know about that.

Paramount Records - Wikipedia

TIL that Paramount Records, preeminent 1920s/30s jazz label, was based in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. And connected to a furniture company. Agents in Chicago made connections with the artists.

Wake up… pour coffee… read a Reddit thread about the heat death of the universe.

I’m forced to use Roboto in reports and frankly ugly font from hell who chose this

On my parents’ once someone posted a photo with the caption, “whose cat is this?” It was a possum.

I grew up there and fled as soon as I could and feel similar levels of loathing.

An underrated perk of urban living is having multiple medical professionals to choose from, so if one sucks ass you can find a different one.

Just go directly to Wikipedia and type “Jupiter.”

This is the sort of thing that gives me hope that things are not quite the same as they were in Germany in the late 1930s.

This symphony means a lot to me as it’s the symphony I heard the one time I went to see the Houston Symphony play when I was like 12 (my dad very uncharacteristically took me), and also was the processional for my wedding (because I hate Canon in D lol)

Record cover with stylized bird flying with a countryside scene; reading “Beethoven Pastorale Symphony #6 in F Major, Vienna Tonkuenstler Orchestra.”

Coping by listening to this frankly ancient (1952) recording of my favorite symphony, Beethoven’s 6th, my kid is asking me “what on earth I’m listening to.”

I’m a Milwaukeean really feeling for my Chicago neighbors today. Everything is horrifying.

We’re forced to use Office 365 at work at I seem like the only one annoyed at Copilot’s sudden unwanted presence everywhere I turn.

Archaeologist watching stuff annoyances: tiny pile of dirt for huge hole; skeletons sitting around somehow fully articulated

I have a rare position in academia: research/admin/project logistics with no teaching and minimal need for networking. I’ve just been asked to do more “marketing.” I do… not think I am going to be good at that.

Just wanna make fun sounds

Attention: I have discovered that build-your-own-theremin kits are actually pretty inexpensive. This may be a viable alternative.

People accusing you of manipulating them etc.

Bro, I couldn’t even do that if I wanted to.

I have to remind even those close to me sometimes that there is nothing in what I said except what I said.

Store brand food is fine, but the packaging sucks (I am currently fighting to unwrap my snack cheese).

Ok but what do people who don’t wear glasses do with their hands as like, “stage business?”

The older normies love these shows. That’s part of why the Kimmel thing hit as hard as it did.

There’s a good chance you’ll feel 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 - and that’s been a bit of a challenge for me lately, as I tend to go numb/detached when I get overwhelmed.

Yes, that is kind of the point 🙃

As an archaeologist I operate in 5 cm intervals.

Sorry folks, I’m doing SCIENCE over here.

One thing I love is when a construction worker asks me for the depth of something I’ve just measured, i tell them “70 centimeters” and they just sigh and walk away.
