    Dave Holmes’ new podcast where he tries to track down a boy band from 30yrs ago is a fun, extremely low stakes version of Serial that I’m enjoying the heck out of (ep 1 & 2 of 10 are now out)

    I pay for three different streaming services just to catch women's pro soccer games I want to watch, the landscape of this is total madness.

    a useless skill of mine at home is knowing which show is on which of the 6-7 streaming apps we use on AppleTV and being surprised when people aren't goofy like me and don't track what's a Hulu show vs. a Peacock show vs. a Paramount+ show vs on Plex vs on YouTubeTV, etc etc etc

    Having data to backup your claims is great and I'm not saying we should ever run away from that, but we should put easy-to-digest slogans in front of things, and we don't. And we're terrible at it.

    This is amazing but the right-wing keeps winning because they boil every issue down to fit on a bumper sticker, while we need 4-5 paragraphs to explain why you're wrong about something. "Individual Liberty Matters" gets people excited "Actually, if you look at the data…" less so

    local cops are throwing an anti-vax protest downtown, and I saw a small kid holding a sign saying his dad saves lives and shouldn't have to be vaxxed and isn't part of saving lives not infecting people you interact with all day at your fucking job?

    I love how every contestant on the new project runway has a verrry specific niche, b/c a new designer doing classic couture would get lost among thousands but if you make streetwear for trapeze artists doing drag, there’s only one person you call to make that outfit.

    Watching this Animal Crossing promo video for the new expansion I could hear every line from the first episode of White Lotus in my head. Someone please put that show's audio over this.

    Turns out a Czech hedgehog is what you call those anti-tank metal criss cross things you see on beaches in war movies and not a term you should never, ever lookup on urban dictionary

    Do they call Texas the "Lone Star" state because of its Yelp rating?

    I got some expensive sound emitting sunglasses that seem designed for boomers that refuse to use ear buds and I actually kinda loved them?

    It's totally normal to leave tech jobs every 2yrs, so his resume didn't seem too suspect, though every employer was surprised when he would do it. In the roulette wheel that is Silicon Valley, he was putting a couple chips on every number he could. I had to respect the hustle.

    I once met a developer that worked at 7-8 of all the biggest tech giants, but was young. Turned out he quit on his 1st anniversary at every job, like clockwork, then got another. It was the day he ¼ vested his stock and he planned to get & quit every job like this forever.

    when I learned the word defenestration as a kid I promised myself I’d get the word tattooed on my arm each time I correctly used it as an adult and here’s my arm today

    FACTS perspicuity should be a less fancy word itself phonetic should start with a f if we’re gonna have a whole word called defenestration then throwing people out of windows needs to become much more commonplace

    Trying to put myself into the mind of someone that runs cust. support for a major airline, their performance goals must be like • maximize customer frustration • cause incoming support calls to double each year • get 1,000 people per day to hang up on us in total frustration
