I remember thinking as a teenager that it was weird how old people acted like WWII happened just a few years before but now, after thinking about my first U2 concert and when it happened, I totally understand.

Went over to the hellsite where I'd deleted almost every tweet to see what data I had left there while I'm deleting Meta... and look, it's a zombie tweet! My most famous-making viral tweet lives.
Even though I definitely deleted it several years ago. h/t @mariadsouza.bsky.social THE FRIEND 😂

At some point I will convince the production partner across the planet that there are universal limitations in regards to how fast you can transmit data, but today is not that day.

I watched the women’s biathlon last night. There's a shot of a racer collapsed at the finish line, face in the snow, gasping for air, and the commentators say “She’s contemplating her performance.”
No man, she isn’t. She’s exhausted. That thought is not even in the building.

I think that after 25 years my coworkers have finally figured out that I absolutely detest and abhor business travel.
I hope they don't figure out I don't mind it when I'm alone, but if there's one thing I hate, it's the enforced camaraderie after hours.

My "Stay in school, kids" reason today is the person who complained that RG&E sent out alerts saying the long streak of sub-freezing temps will result in much higher bills, but "I always keep my house at 67 so it doesn't make any sense that would make a difference, they're just stealing money now."

I try to not be too judgmental of parents, but asking for suggestions about what to do with your two year old for fun because your wife is working late makes it really hard not to be.

Whenever I see a particularly stupid post on Reddit I'll often look at their previous posts to see if it's just an isolated dumb question, or chronic.
There seems to be an extremely high correlation with previous requests asking about putting money into crypto.

It's fascinating to read people talking about how they hate how company X produces their products, and company Y does so much better.
But I work for company Z, which does the actual production of the products for both X and Y, and guarantee there is no difference between them whatsoever.
