As someone who long leaned on both, every once in a while I have "Music" and "Podcasts" open on the same screen and am furious anew about the encrappening of the world by the native app dissolution of iTunes. Oh, that the mandate of "Don't Make Things Worse" were broadly shared.

It’s kinda wild to realize that Kevin McCallister, Lydia Deetz, and David Rose all have the same (step)mother.

I approach all interactions with insects with a “you come at the king you best not miss” energy, which, considering the limitations of my aim, may explain why I will cede the occasional corner to the ones that are clearly spider-kings from among spider-men. It’s their party now.

Once, in a rental car, I worried I damaged an old phone battery by being plugged in as I hit the ignition BUT as the outboard brain had been struggling to come back online today, I figured why not try Johnny5’s boost, and Lo! TechnoJoy!

Being asked by a boss to tender an apologetic explanation toward ‘being the bigger person’ is wild. Like I don’t think we need to go through a whole Archimedean displacement exercise to even just know that at a glance: like it’s not a subtle difference. They’re very small! [sɪɢʜ]

There’s a Farmer’s Fridge jar of Thai Noodles in the safe (for a hot second [literally] I thought it was a mini mini fridge) in the closet of room 826 of a hotel in downtown Houston. (Is this the kind of thing one lets a place know about? It’s sealed so not ⚠️☣️⚠️. So sorry!)

I love being on the road, but hooboy: it makes the home temperature feel like that much more of a relative heaven. (I used to give it a pass because if I was there it was at NASA and cool (🆒🆒🆒) wins over cool (❄️) but Houston was PARTICULARLY like a dog’s mouth this week.🔥)

There is a weird relief in suddenly fixing the incorrect resolution setting of an external monitor that has been down sampling too much. The fuzz had been discomfiting enough I began to consider seeing an eye doctor for the first time since 2010 pre-laser-work retina scannings.

Eastern Standard Temporal Hegemony delightfully means teaching a course online at 5AM to other people for whom it is also 5AM because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (It’s nice inasmuch as we’ll all have full days of work after this 🔥🕯🔥)

Though I appreciate that work from home call center situations are more efficient than alternatives, the rooster crowing in the background of this guy struggling with my hotels dot crom situation does not inspire the most confidence vis-à-vis the giving up of my credit card info.
