Ours died on Thursday morning in the middle of the hot Texas summer. It took a day and a half to fix. I don’t wish a busted AC on my worst enemy, no matter where they live.

I’m running for President. My platform is that I will increase the size of tables at all Mexican restaurants by 25%.

Meatballs and meatloaf, yes. Burgers, no. But we rarely make those homemade.

That’s basically the price of one slice at the place I go to in Austin now. It’s about $15 for two slices and a fountain drink.

This is a long shot, but I saw an article sometime this week, about how hard and why it’s so hard for rock bands to be discovered/signed nowadays. I know Sleater-Kinney was quoted in the article, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Any chance someone here saw it/knows what I'm talking about? #musicsky 🎧

the erasure of 20+ years of news stories here is yet another sign that future generations will have much richer knowledge of the 1930s than they will the GW Bush and Obama years. The wayback machine is carrying a lot of weight these days. If that goes, adios: variety.com/2024/digital...

Found my first #geocache today while out to eat with my wife. I’ve seen a few videos in my YouTube feed recently and it looked fun to try out. #Austin

I’m 43. I have a handful of friends that I’ve known online for 20+ years, including my now wife. IRC, message boards, several instant message platforms, MySpace, Twitter, Tumblr, plus flash in the pan sites like Path, Ello, etc., and others I’m definitely forgetting have come and gone for my group.

I’ve been doing a new journal project and it has very painfully reminded me just how terrible my spelling is and how much I rely on spellcheck. I have had to look up very COMMON words. Several times. For the same word.

More than half of my “Heavy Rotation” mix from Apple Music this week were songs from Sea Change by Beck. I guess I had a few more bad days lately than I remember.

And it was Republican Greg Abbott who charmed crypto and AI companies to come do business in Texas. What has he actually done that positively affected any Texan’s life?

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I had a TSA agent argue with me once because he thought a boom mic I was traveling with in my gear was actually a cattle prod.
