Many thanks to 1stDibs, for understanding my tastes so specifically as to recommend I purchase this beautiful painting.

he/him. I was c_davies on the bird app; an odd little man with a British accent everywhere else. Cat-lover; Michigan-resider; SlashGear writer; car geek; 🌈 I do not 'like' skeets; it's nothing personal it just gives me anxiety.
It's so easy to criticize, rather than make helpful suggestions. Shame on you all. Look, if every true American patriot took just a few gulps of reflecting pool water, we could easily refill the whole thing with what I'm tentatively calling Freedom Piss™ 🦅
This article describes me awkwardly well, but I considered not posting about it because then someone might reply. Yes, yes, I know. I KNOW.
I never text back – and it’s ruining my relationships
Experts weigh in on why some people have an inexplicable barrier to responding – and what they can do about it

Chris Davies@cdavies.bsky.social · 9mo agoI have a single 2026 resolution and that's to be (a little) more social. Turns out, when you do most of your socializing on work trips and then largely stop traveling, you get pretty insular! Who knew! Anyway, brain kinda fizzled; if I left you on unread in 2025, it was me not you.
The great thing about the internet is you think "oh, I should wash the car today" and then go online to get some recommendations and then fall down several rabbit holes, and an hour later you have no greater insight but all the car-washing time is used up by fruitless research and it's lunchtime.
It gives me zero pleasure to report that my dense rubber extrusions may not be suitable.
Chris Davies@cdavies.bsky.social · 7mo agoThrilled to report that my dense rubber extrusions have shipped.

Chris Davies@cdavies.bsky.social · 7mo agoJust ordered some dense rubber extrusions. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Just heard the news and I'm disgusted. It's truly disgusting. Can't believe it has come to this. Wow. Generally outrageous.
It's fascinating seeing the continuing reaction to people saying "No, we won't vote for Gavin Newsom, he's a terrible pick*" being "Yes, but Gavin Newsom, though, right? 😉" from certain (vocal) quarters. *which is, to be clear, a sentiment I agree with
They closed the airspace above El Paso because the Big Goose was back, but they knew you'd panic if they told you. The public isn't ready to know about the Big Goose.
It is too soon to lose Catherine O'Hara, and I may simply refuse to believe it.
When you're next furious that MN kids are going hungry, well, there's a fund for that; & when you're livid that brave observers may struggle with rent, there's one for that; & when you're heartbroken about pets being left behind when their owners are kidnapped, well, there's a fund for that, too.
Bree (half of Kit Rocha)@mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 8mo agogo to standwithminnesota.com and pick someone on there and give them $5. tomorrow go back and give someone else $5. do it every day for a week and you will have made life immediately & materially better for 7 different people, at the cost of $35, and you will feel so much better than you do now.
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
Current mood: Wondering where I could get an outdoor dog house today, and a heated pad, in case the possums want somewhere to hide from the cold.
I strongly believe that there is no billionaire alive who would not fall for the "paint a tunnel on a mountain" trick made popular by a cartoon coyote.

This is not a subtweet but if I come to your house at the holidays and ask if you have a little bit of feta I might have, and you say no but then later I find you in the back pantry gnawing on a big chunk of feta, I'm going to be pretty upset. This is not a subtweet.
Whether you celebrate it or not, a very happy "Christmas email from the CEO of every single company you ever had any interaction with, however long ago or tenuous it was" day, to you and yours 🎄
Still waiting for my Juicero 2025 Wrap, not sure what the hold-up is here.
Just saw a little possum. Thought you might like to see the little possum.
Spotted a Honda Acty Raccoon tonight. I would like the Honda Acty Raccoon, please.
I think it may be time to adopt the wardrobe of Harold from "Harold and Maude"
As someone unable not to say "CYBER" in a robot voice whenever he sees the word "cyber" written down, this has been a terribly inefficient week for me.
One moderately heavy snow day, and he's thinking about Kei trucks with plow attachments again
Just realized I forgot to show you all the free 2026 "Treasured Trucks" calendar that the nice people at Ace Hardware gave me the other day.
Psst. If you woke up feeling positive about yesterday's election results, then remembered things are still terrible and precarious and scary for a whole lot of people right now, donating to a local food bank is a good way to push back on that wave of dismay.
