Working on some plays set in the Midwest, as I personally I find that stage actors just don’t get to say “ope” enough.

Needed a stapler. Went to Staples. Found a good stapler, good price. Just what I needed. I am glad some small portion of the world still makes sense, is still obvious in some way.

stop making your shit so chatty. i wanna talk to people, not products. the back of the fucking milk cartons are trying to talk to me, the app, the billboards, the chatbot, the little messages on the fucking microwave. stop. shush.

True story. Any tips on how to keep Jamie Taco from stealing my lines?

they added emoji to the headers on the Craigslist homepage. i’m going to need a minute.

TECH COMPANIES: not only are these sex offender glasses ugly as fuck in a trite designer way, they’re also $3,000 TECH PRESS: Are Smart Glasses Finally Having Their Moment?

I don’t recall who I learned this from but a good workshop meeting hack (e.g. in a retro) is to not let people pick 7 when evaluating something from 1–10 personally I prefer a 3-point scale for most stuff, 1 = no way 2 = kinda/mostly/meh 3 = good or no concerns

if they ban all the 13-15 year old boys from using social media who is going to comment “gay” on my YouTube videos?

why did we replace app settings with nudges for crap i don’t ever want on that maybe, if the app lords are feeling generous, i’ll get a chance to dismiss for 30 days i mean i know why but honestly. i’ve been in so many meetings where designers talked shit about settings pages and...i love settings.

i would like a world where lending one’s celebrity to an event is not understood to be activism in and of itself. people holding ropes in the parade matter more than the tiara wearers at the front

the problem with offering office hours at 8am is that sometimes students book office hours at 8am

inclusion is gonna fail when you only understand it to be “lack of exclusion”

AI is the perfect tool for cowards. It promises creative reward (a false reward, but enough for idiots) without creative risk. “hey look at this thing I made” “wow that kind of sucks actually” “oh, yeah, LOL well it’s just AI”

i wish fewer people confused “taking up space” (legit, good) with “being in everyone’s way for selfish reasons” (shitty, bad)

Like many people I’ve had my search default to Google for a long time, but I finally switched to DuckDuckGo and it works much better than I remember, possibly due to how absolutely awful Google works now. No issues, finding exactly what I need.

The Incredible Inedible Egg. It’s SO gross.

i don’t track album releases but was delighted to find new Modest Mouse this AM. listened twice, then re-read MM and Isaac Brock wiki pages, then my girlfriend came in from the garden and i said several Modest Mouse facts at her and then i realized i’d done all this wearing a Modest Mouse t-shirt

Imagine being in the control room at your grownup TV job the first time you realize that television is created by people making choices, and doesn’t just happen organically.

one of my “ADHD? don’t know her” coping methods in college was to write papers while playing counter-strike...i'd do as much work as i could between dying and the next round starting. got preeeeetty good at counter-strike. anyway this morning i’m *grading* papers between splatoon 3 rounds

the homophobic comments under sports teams or brands posts about pride goes to show one reason for why there is a pride month in the first place.

love to Upload things from My Device, normal human phrases I use all the time

scrolling through screen after screen of “Life at Company” and “Our Values” on Careers pages like i’ve crawled to the oasis, scalded and desiccated only to be handed pamphlets on “The Wetness of Our Water” and “The Value of Hydration” ... brother i just want the link to open positions
