I am I said, to anyone who listens. Very public behind-the-scenes guy. Karaoke regular. I run and cycle long distances slowly.
Suspending SNAP and getting ACA hikes the weekend before an election. So much winning. Guessing a lot of R consultants get pink slips tomorrow.

I couldn’t believe they made peace with a sentient robot race and willingly flew all their technology into the sun, simply to enjoy Vancouver 150,000 years later.

Got to see with my oldest this past Saturday at the Theater at Madison Square Garden a complete orchestra playing 60 pieces from Genshin Impact. Their favorite game and the only North American show. Screenshot has a cat, Tama, which is named after one of our permanent residents. :)

“Boredom is when you do the things that make you feel like you have life under control. Not being bored is why you always feel busy, why you keep “not having time” to take a package to the post office or work on your novel. You do have time—you just spend it on your phone.”

“What happens when the thing that structured so much of our lives loses its utility?”

Great read by Anne Helen Petersen about people who have collected their thoughts about this including a quote by Kate Lindsay that resonated with me about boredom (first comment below).
