I love watching him watch snow.

It’s a really great resource even without the “I need to catalogue everything about my life” aspect, just in terms of info it gives you about the flight you’re taking, delays, etc.

like I cannot possibly explain the joy that I get from being able to scrounge through my emails that I never delete so that I can have this information that is meaningless to everyone but me
Screenshot from the Flighty app, showing things like total flights taken, total miles flown, hours lost from delays, and most flown aircraft Screenshot from the flighty app, showing a “passport” of all countries visited based on the flight data I put into it Screenshot from the flighty app, showing the three most common types of aircrafts I’ve flown, as well as the specific tail number I’ve flown on most

Halloween's over.

The criminal | the crime
A grey cat stands on top of a stove because he is a nightmare. He has yellow-green eyes, a white tuft of fur under his chin, and zero shame A package of Thomas ' English muffins which has been gnawed open and several of the muffins chewed on by little teeths

Old timey train spotted

hello here are some cats, they are both extremely silly.
Two cats sit on a couch and look vaguely towards the camera. The cat on the left is light grey and long haired, the cat on the right has short grey fur. A cat stands on the floor, looking up the is light grey and long haired and has a tail that curls upwards. A cat sits inside of a box. He has one paw stretched towards the viewer. He has long light grey fur. A cat lays on his back on a desk between a monitor and a keyboard. All his paws are moving like he's looking for something. He looks ridiculous. He has shitty grey fur with a few white patches on his belly.

Very specific label at this Airbnb.

There's always at least one act that I just don't understand where they came from or how everyone has heard of them but this is a McDonalds themed metal band that has a crowd the size that you'd expect for a headliner, at 1pm
People in imitation McDonald's character costumes playing like.... Parody songs of Black Sabbath??

I don't think that's how cheeseburgers work, sir.

You have my cat's twin and I also think we have the same couch 🤣
A fluffy grey cat lays in kind of a croissant shape on a couch. He has majestic fluffs between his toes.

Chicago friends, if you want to see some incredibly funny live action D&D improv but don't want to go alone, please tell me and we'll go to @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social together, I saw it in NYC multiple times and now it's in Chicago for a while and it is consistently the most fun thing on earth.
From left to right: an older man sits on a stool, wearing a black cape with gold stars on it; a man wearing a funny party hat and a tan trench coat; a man wearing a white medical smock, tan apron, green bandana, and pointy horns on his head; a man wearing a purple shirt and black jacket; a woman wearing a green cape and carrying a lute.

Occupational hazard
A large grey fluffy cat lays on a table. His front paws are touching and he's looking up at the viewer. His tail, which is very fluffy, is covering most of a computer's keyboard.

I'm giving this book a few points back because it shits on Naperville
Picture of a kindle screen, reading: "But. ... Naperville? There are vampire dungeons in Naperville?" I thought back to the cookie-cutter suburb I'd visited once back in college when my roommate invited me home for Thanksgiving.

Hey, Chicago internet, the treble voices choir I sing with is welcoming new members for our upcoming season. Auditions are on August 6th - don't be put off by the concept of audition, though, you'd be singing in a group and it's very low stress.

Have not stopped thinking this since the Red Rocks show, I respect Andrew McMahon's commitment to jumping on his pianos, but also....
The classic dril tweet edited to have Andrew McMahon's picture as the user icon, and now reads: "Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Piano Repair $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying"
