What are the odds that I really am the person the algorithm thinks I am...

A mall goth with nitrous-induced brain damage who may be entitled to damages?

Check out this emo calf I met at a petting zoo on my birthday

Named this motherfucker "SWEET WENTZ"

Not to be outdone, another neighbor had their cat giving me a Jim from the Office look as a fluffy skunk stole his porch food

My store switched from Spotify to an app that specializes in licensing music for retail spaces.

So the music selection is worse, there's much less control, and all the playlists are AI generated, but at least when it plays a banger like Prince Buster "Big 5" none of us are to blame

Holy shit, they did the classic @theonion.com headline!!

Damn the Showgirls (1995) soundtrack was industrial af. Was Nomi Malone a rivethead??

I was hanging with my neighbor Bob and he accidentally stepped on an earthworm squiggling by and he is DISGUSTED

Look at this cool fuqqen praying mantis hanging out on my kitchen window

Went to Don's Grill on Western for the first time in years, and these Michael Bedard posters were hanging, fairly worn in even inside their frames, and I was instantly transported back to the 1980s.

I think my dentist or pediatrician (or maybe both) had these hanging in their office

Someone painted over Supes, so he called in for reinforcements.

If they paint over it again we're definitely getting bowlcut Nathan Fillion punching a Lantern Corps ring print into an agent's cheek next

Just got to walk down this bridge WITH a Rachel, like, "look it's you. You're a very unimaginative tagger"

It's not enough to simply REJECT the stomp clap of the 2010s. We must RETVRN to the tap clap of the 2000s

Listening to an old dance mix and remembering the track "Lookin' Boy" by Hotstylz for the first time in at least a decade.

The HOLD this song had over Chicago radio was like nothing else I've ever seen. Power 92 must've been playing this at 45 min intervals

Oh yeah, also I guess I'm putting an offer on a building with my spouse and my bestie today?

Gonna suck emotionally if we don't get it, and in a bunch of practical ways if we do.

At least I could get a workout in before I got back to editing today. Thanks for reading my diary.
August 4, 2025 at 11:51 PM
Watching silly '90s movies while I edit cuz they're engaging w/o being distracting.

JUST NOW realizing the stoner kangaroo man that Tank Girl fucks is the same guy who plays Kralic (vampire) and Rack (magic dealer) on Buffy. He has such a fantastic voice, I could tell through the prosthetics
