Freelance book editor and rare book collector based out of Chicago. This is a migration from another account I've had since 2019. I do the middle-aged dad version of shitposting, whatever that's called. Mastolikes: Discordia, transgression, cyberpunk, intl travel, absurdism as lifestyle, breadmaking. Mastodislikes: Toxic positivity (aka "You Got This! Syndrome"), radicals on either side of the political divide, sports, popular music, and many more. #StopTalkingAboutLinux.

I find this hilarious, because as recently as my own teenage years, it was commonly thought it was TYPEWRITERS that were preventing us from writing with intention, and the Luddites back then were urging us all to instead write everything by hand

For those who think that Trump's changes to the federal government can simply be undone by the next President, let me please remind you that the Nazis changed the Netherlands' official time zone to Berlin's when they first invaded, and it still is to this day, despite the country getting liberated by the Allies 81 years ago.

There's few things I find funnier than when a successful rapper with tattoos all over their face does an architectural tour video of their new home, and it looks exactly like a place my grandmother would live in
If you like architecture, Chicago is pretty great.

Fantasizing today about the 95-year-old Warren Buffett dying soon, and all of us only learning then that his will stipulates taking his net worth of $141 billion to create universal basic income for every American citizen, ushering in a science-fiction "post-scarcity age."
Just saw one of my co-op housemates on our Discord group refer to the famous phrase as "the land of milkin' honeys," and I don't know now what to do with that
@Wolf If you want your mind blown read @adapalmer's novel Too Like the Lightning, and the rest of that series.

For the first time in YEARS, there's a new TV show I'm impressed by! "DTF St. Louis" is a crime noir fascinatingly set among suburbanites in St. Louis; the title refers to a "cheating spouse" phone app that plays a central role in the murder. HBO's marketers call it a "black comedy," but there's nothing funny here; instead, the details of these deeply flawed humans are so queasy and cringey that you can't help but to nervously laugh at the raw fuck-ups on display.
