Voiceovers are everywhere.
Train stations, apps, toys, documentaries, even… a talking urinal in Amsterdam. (Yes, really.)
It’s strange, invisible work - and I love it.

Anyone else ever scroll through your LinkedIn connections and look at the titles and companies and feel like you've completely wasted the last 30 years of your adult life? No, just me?

I could never write a memoir. I don't know how people can. I think back and I can't remember who all was there or what the specifics of the conversation were or details of anything around it. I might have a good memory for technical details, but I'm really bad at remembering interactions.

I gave Apple Reminders a solid month and a half, but it looks like it's back to Todoist for me. At least until Reminders gives us the ability to regenerate tasks. (I tried Microsoft To-Do, which is nice, but you can only regenerate tasks created in Outlook.)

Okay @bsky.app, I set my domain as my username and verified my account. I’m still not sure why I did it as I won’t see any benefit from having verified, but I am. You’re welcome.

Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

Well, a tiny bit of good news on an otherwise shitastic Friday.
MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Our maps are like grandma's Thanksgiving recipes — once they're printed, they're not changing. The Gulf of Mexico stays put on MapQuest.

Groceries are so dang expensive. $288 at Walmart for myself and my two teenagers for the week. 😫 Yes, they’ve been expensive for a while, but it hasn’t been *this* bad.
