Yo someone to do a wellness check on Anthony Hopkins right now.

Just saw a sticker that said "If you don't let me merge, we will both meet god". Great bumper sticker, questionable laptop badge.

A lot of the doomer comments I'm getting basically boil down to "WHAT IF VOTING DOESN'T MATTER ANY MORE???!!". Well, it better matter, because it's all you've got. And convincing you that it doesn't is exactly what the fascists would love nothing more to do. (And you can be damn sure THEY'LL be […]

A friend of mine went to the Gundam Base pop-up at the Burlington Mall and was apparently so repulsed by the smell he bought a $8 kit to get the shopping bag and dipped. Guys, can we do better than this please?

I tried to turn on my old Gameboy Color tonight. I heard the speakers turn on and some lines flashed on the screen, but that's about it. Anybody know a good repair shop that might help me out?

About to drop off a rather eclectic set of items at the Cambridge Free Store at Reservoir Church. If anyone is in need of a surf casting rod, a TI-84 calculator, or an Avalon Hill game of questionable political correctness (I'm sure there's other cool stuff too), hit them up from noon to 2 […]

Made coq au vin for dinner tonight and screwed up nearly everything. Didn't marinate the chicken, overfried the lardons, used chopped tomato over tomato paste... Still banged. fReNcH cUiSiNe ReQuIrEs PrEcIsIoN 🍑💨 #food #cooking #french

Say hello to every dog.

For dinner tonight I took a bunch of summer veggies (squash, peppers, string beans, carrots) and confited them with rosemary (basically cooked them in a bunch of olive oil on medium low, covered, for a half hour). At the end I added some shredded pecorino and tossed a bunch of penne in there […]

I tore a favorite shirt and I'm gonna have to patch it. The front has a cool line drawing of a pizza. Does anyone have any scraps of cool fabric that might work as a patch? #cambridgema #SomervilleMA #arlingtonma

Our office social committee has started making posters for events that are clearly AI slop. For example, this one. You'll note that despite the Catan-esque board, the settlement pieces are the wrong shape, and all four players are smiling.

LPT: you always have 2-3x more stuff in your kitchen than you think you do. This is true even when proper estimation techniques are applied.

Every once in a while I imagine a small strap to help infants keep pacifiers in their mouths, but then I realize I've just invented a baby ball gag.

The notion that our pets are like our kids is all well and good until your parents start adopting new animals. I'm 37 years old, that kitten is not my new baby sister.

Today I stopped being a Somervillain and stared being a Cantabrigian. I just moved a couple blocks away but everything is different now.

Something I just thought about as I was discussing logistics with my moving guy: is "bureau", a large piece of bedroom furniture with drawers that holds clothes, a New England term? Obviously it's not exclusive to the region but I don't think I've ever heard a non-New-Englander use it.

Gail Anne's Coffee Shop in Arlington makes some damn fine coffee rolls. Not quite Kane's-sized, but maybe better tasting. #food #arlingtonma

I saw someone call this incoming storm a "soakah", so here's some Soca for #TuneTuesday #JumpUpAndDown Rupee - Jump: https://musiccloud.io/okRJ7

I think the strongest evidence that @WEATHERISHAPPENING is actually an interdimensional being with spiritual connections to powerful eldritch gods is that they apparently somehow negotiated a mid-month start date for their new apartment lease.

Not to be a shill, but Shake Shack's mango lemonade goes from meh to incredible with a couple dashes of Tajin. #food

I've heard it said that you only finish the last 10% of your renovations two weeks before you move out of your house. I can confirm this is true and it's exceptionally frustrating that my kitchen finally looks so nice and I have no time to enjoy it.

My wife got donuts from a pop-up that is apparently turning into a brick and mortar called Lucy and Jane. The donuts were incredible, but I can't fully endorse a donut that costs over $5 a pop. #cambridgema

I have a ton of old VR headsets and such that I want to bring to #Swapfest some day. I just gotta work out childcare because I don't think I can keep a 3 year old entertained for the whole time.

Digging my way out of all my Firefox tabs. I found this (which I probably originally found here). It's a fun story about that web project One Million Checkboxes and not-quite-hackers. https://eieio.games/blog/the-secret-inside-one-million-checkboxes/

Teens wrote me a secret. I found them.

We watched the first half of Finding Nemo with my 3 year old today and she keeps referring to the blue fish character as "Derry"

Between the buck-fifty AQI and the near-seventy dew point it feels like breathing porridge outside. #SomervilleMA

Huh. That's a new one. #Linux

Where can I donate a rather sizable collection of glass jars and bottles? I know it's all recyclable (and may very well end up there) but I'd like them to be reused if at all possible. #SomervilleMA #cambridgema #arlingtonma

Getting my daughter to tolerate spicy food by buying Shin Ramyun with the KPop Demon Hunters characters on it.
