Hi! my name is Nathan

i post jokes and do a bunch of tedious but aesthetic stuff in my free time:

* space photos
* bird photos
* bouncing radio off the moon
* making gadgets
* using/programming old computers
i do consider procreation to be kind of value-neutral and it consistently gets me in Absolutely Enormous Trubs. like if you say you’re having a baby i respond approximately the same as if you’re going sky diving. idk what’s wrong with me exactly but lol that’s the deal

trying to put my finger on why pluribus resonated so deeply with me and i think it’s just the whole “friendly yet ultimately adversarial other” theme. chatbots, maga neighbors. it’s a weird lonely time out there.

idk if anything will ever knock true detective season 1 out of the top slot but I’d say severance and pluribus are currently jostling for number 2.

definitely the best shows currently running.

getting old as fuck means realizing good audio quality is more determined by how well you can hear a tambourine vs how well you can hear a bass guitar
