No, that wasn’t me, but I did see you last Tuesday at this park bench, you have a memory like a steel trap. 😂❤️🐶
There are the neighborhood dogs that I encounter in the park who are blatantly coming up to me for pets, and then there are the dogs coming up to me with a vibe of, “Wait, didn’t I see you at the John Mayer concert in Fresno in 2015?” 😂❤️🐶

Begging Silicon Valley to read a book
I do this all the time but the bigger problem is that the stack isn’t physically present with me in the bookstore or library.
Considering stacking my to-read books in a pile so that I am faced with the physical manifestation of what I gotta read before I can justify buying new books 😂

You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer'
This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

All the people I can think of I would not want to lend any more visibility to.
That’s a new dinner party conversation: Who is someone that you hate so much that, if given the time, energy, and crew, you’d produce a 4-part documentary on them?

Saw this tour in 2007 in Oakland. Best concert of my life not only because Bruce, but because due to the simple fact that I was single I was magically selected to move from nosebleed seats to the mosh pit.
Great album.😂❤️

Found a way to watch #PsakiBriefing while waiting for more Tenn. election results. Sound is off and I'm listening to Bruce's Magic album. The first song:

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

"Your pattern of reluctance cannot hold; the dam will break at some point. Every year, you read 'backgammon set' as one of my lovely gift suggestions, and every year you scroll right past it as if you know better than me. Let’s be clear: you don’t."
