My middle name is “Meh”. I posses the extraordinary ability to make beige look vibrant and interesting by comparison.

Native to the #PNW but now residing in the God-less southern United States.

Getting waved through at a four-way stop, out of sequence, turns the whole thing into a weird, unnecessary game of chicken. Now I'm stuck inching forward awkwardly, thanks to someone's kindness disrupting the traffic flow.

Like, I appreciate the gesture, but the kinder thing would've just to stick with the rotation.

It's nuts to think about how I've been around long enough to witness the #web morph from a microcosms of fringe, decentralized #websites and #forums to the current landscape of monolithic silos housed on a handful of #platforms and social hubs.

While I do appreciate the sheer amount of content and convenience the modern web offers, I find myself #nostalgic for the janky, quant web of the past.

Call me crazy but I just wanna call shitty people out for being shitty people without being labeled this or that.

I apologize to humanity if I gave some exec a terrible idea.

To the terrible exec: I expect a cut of the profits.

As I understand it, #electriccars are required to make an identifiable sound when moving. How long until we have the equivalent of #ringtones for #evs? When should I expect to hear “WAP” or “Lollipop” from #evs driving down the road?
Remember: we all make #mistakes. Even highly trained #astronauts make mistakes, like losing a tool bag during a spacewalk.

I never thought I'd live in a world where people were trying to rationalize #OsamaBinLaden. The true irony being the folks I've seen encouraging others to ruminate are the ones who would have suffered the most.

What a truly weird and off-putting time to be alive.

A lot of the early internet was great because it was “free”, or nearly so, funding itself on venture capital. And now the investment money is spent, while the investors have arrived for your souls, or what online presence passes for them in 2023.

I loved #Ghostbusters as a kid — that shit was dope, still is — but I always thought it was unbelievable how the Ghostbusters were labeled as fraudsters and liars in the second film. There must've been tens of thousands of witness and at least a news crew or two reporting on things, right?

As an adult, not only was it realistic but, the phenomena is unnervingly common.
