Decent, but only in moderation. As seen at the end of @PeterSinger's TED talk.
I may have finally been cured of my Twitter addiction by X's technical incompetence. They forced me to re-enroll my YubiKey's so they can retire the Twitter domain but it didn't work and now I'm potentially permanently locked out of my account.

My neighbor's dog escaped so he set a trap for it. So far he's only caught outdoor cats like Saxon here.

In 2021 only 0.23% of workers reported making exactly the federal minimum wage. Another 1.2% reported making less than minimum wage, NOT including tips or commissions. Unsurprisingly, they are mostly tipped service workers.

I now interact with ai assistants from my landlord and my dentist and both times all they have done is tell me incorrectly that I owe money and both times I’ve been told to ignore the robot texting and calling me. Fuck this future.

in 2013 when my wife was dating the homosexual who would become her first husband I bought her a used copy of Infinite Jest for her birthday for $13.97. she read several hundred pages and none of the endnotes before losing it, so she requested a used replacement.

the biggest thing I didn't know when I adopted a bearded dragon was how much I would need to learn about the care and feeding of her food.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I setup my godson with SuperHOT VR and lost my shit when I saw he was standing on the edge of the couch and swinging. After playing the level I realized the problem: he was too short to see over an obstacle! This is what he was seeing. I think you need to be 5'+ to play the game as intended.

I left my godson watching a Minecraft streamer then came back and he was watching an ad.
Me: HEY! What are you doing watching ads?
Him: It's not an ad!
He was watching this shit! I briefly explained affiliate marketing and put on BattleBots.

the Google Play Store sent me a push notification for this incredible offer: $4 in store credit if I spend $49.99!
I realize the Play Store probably makes almost all of its revenue from whales playing pay2win games, but it's unseemly to publicly harpoon them like this.

Messages to Meta's AI app default to public and there is a feed, so you can read the conversations of your friends and also strangers, like an insane version of the Venmo social feed. For example, this man requested a "mobile meat company newsletter".

My goddaughter is obsessed with a YouTube channel with 24 million subscribers called MyStoryAnimated. It's a fascinating artifact of Right Now: a TV show designed for preteen girls to watch while looking at their phone. This ep got 12m views in the past two weeks.
