People who insist on putting pizza boxes in the recycling: why

Hims must have paid Hulu a looooot of money for ad space. Because ads are enough of an entertainment killer just as a format, but literally every time Hulu takes a break from tales of high adventure or comedy, it's like "and now thirty seconds to reflect on how aging means that your hair will fall out and your penis will stop working, and oh hey you know how we all have anxiety and depression now"

Remake of my all-time favorite weird puzzle game #Riven is coming next week and it sure looks purty https://youtu.be/LN1TQm942_U

I've gotten tornado warnings, flood warnings, and Amber alerts. This is a first.

I'm also clearly seeing the developer who built that alert looking at their phone and thinking "fuck, TRAILING SPACE"

Aaaaaaaand fixed

Two things I just learned:

1. A new monolith has appeared in Nevada just recently.
2. There have been monoliths?

@eaton I think you should click that, it looks urgent

Woke up, fired up Insight Timer, and this appeared.

Happy Pride.

I'm very grateful for my mindfulness practice. This morning as I sat down to breathe, I observed my first thought, which was "I am going to the beach today." I observed the joy it brought me. And then I observed my second thought, "maybe you should have packed some swim trunks, then."

@w7voa @Adam_Cadmon1 did anyone yell "motherfucker you are the only one tryna start it"

@eaton @anarchiv Now I want to label one of my machine settings GIDDYUP

Watching half the world be like "oh shit I'm starting another five-day run at my job, which is terrible" and yeah, yeah, let's all go camping

No, THIS time I'm going to tidy up my inbox every day.

My daughter was humming Seven Nation Army as she was getting ready this morning, so I blasted it in the van in the way to school.

I highly recommend y'all acquire some badass theme music for your daily commute. Pretend you're Iron Man.

I like being a dad

I finished Fallout season 1 today. That show is three times as good as it has any right to be. I expected a big, splattery ride, and what I got was a really good and thoughtful, morally-nuanced story dressed up as a big, splattery ride.

But then the best part of what I suffered on my first trip through is that I get to share it with them, I get to tell them that they aren't alone, that I get it, and let me tell you about the piece of work I was engaged to before I met your mom...

That very powerful parenting conflict when you want to bang out a chore real quick but a child who has never done it insists on trying it. Because, yeah, it's good for her to learn how to do it, but is that worth it taking three times as long, when I could just get it done and curl up

@ouinne This is why I never let anyone do my grocery shopping. Getting packaged products should be straightforward enough, but I'm persnickety enough that I barely trust my own wife to pick out my produce. Ain't no way I'm letting some rando who doesn't cook pick out my taters.

@feld They're...kind of right. Technically any hard-skinned squash can be called a pumpkin, but Dickinsons are closer to butternut squash than sugar "pie" pumpkins or field pumpkins. And sugar pumpkins make excellent pie -- they're right that you shouldn't use jack o' lantern pumpkins, but they're wrong that fresh is always worse.
