Got to see @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social in Jacksonville last night. It was great. So glad that @mmasnick.bsky.social post Josh's work enough that I started following/watching Josh last year.

I am watching some @pjharveyofficial.bsky.social tonight.
I thought of the following:

1990s A Badass
2000s Sexy
2010s Beautiful
2020s Goddess

I am not sure any artist has such a range of talent and growth.

Like classical physics breaking down as you approach light speed, the laws of capitalism can’t handle multibillionaires. If you have $100B you’re no longer constrained by things like rationality or financial pain thresholds. With that much money Nothing Matters, and that fucks the whole system up.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Pour one out for the BlueSky Surf report blueskysurfreport.com/report.htm after 46 years of solid local surf reporting my friend David is retiring. This will leave a big hole in our local surf community as it has been a pillar of reliable information for decades.

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

All my timelines are basically people saying: ~'Look how these people that are going to ruin everything are doing the stupidest self owns. Doesn't that make us feel better about the coming ruin of everything?'

Amazing bug. A friend using namecheap, accedentally backdated the beginning of their out of office date range and the systems started emailing everyone who had emailed with them in the past.

Gen-X latch-key kids watching wheel of fortune:

Contestant: I'll take the dining room set, the washer and dryer, and I'll take the rest on a gift certificate.

Me: THERE IS PINBALL MACHINE RIGHT THERE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?

Wow. The HGTV "dream home" did not get zoning approval to build in an environmentally sensitive estuary, and is now going to ask for an after the fact zoning approval:

Happy New year. Today we get "on this date" reminders to revisit all the times we didn't set the date on our early 2000s digital cams each time the battery died.

Good thing we were not all at a Jack White show with all our phones locked in bags. 🙃
