Generational talent. I’m blown away every time by how heart-warming Mamdani makes efficient, effective governance seem. Stop throwing around nonsense tax cut proposals and just deliver.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

Spent entirely too long wondering last night about the social protocols for bringing headphones onto an extended space flight. I’m sorry guys but 8 days in a confined space with three other people, I am going to need some podcast/music time to avoid space madness

I unironically think we need to bring back dumb goofball internet stuff like earth sandwiches or contrived picture days.

If Artemis IV is happening in 2028 then we need to get on top of Planetary Picture Day ASAP. Do we have a hemisphere in mind? The hotel blocks alone are going to be a nightmare

Ate an entirely too-large sandwich for dinner, fell asleep, and am now listening to rain against the skylight.

I have gotten utterly smoked the last two nights playing Marathon and I still can’t stop thinking about it. They’re cooking.

✨ new video ✨ with marathon, bungie has taken its best-in-class gunplay and a frankly unbelievable visual identity and used them to lure players into a subtle shift in the way an extraction shooter can be played: one where extracting gear isn't even the point. my thoughts: youtu.be/RUtvq6BFThI

Claudin' Around Pt. 3

F'ing A, F'ing O.

Hey, why does WGN have a pixelated 9? Like if it’s an accident I’m more just fascinated how that gets rendered

My brain is making grinding noises trying to figure out how you get these incredibly specific numbers

At Raja Krishnamoorthi’s election night party. In case you’re wondering, the senate candidate has spent more than $20 million on succeeding Dick Durbin but the campaign party is cash bar.
