Here for dogs, whisky, politics/protesting, M:TG, and urbanism. I also sometimes pair movies with whisky, and talk about them. 🏡: DC (Seeking employment! I'm an ex-Googler who does DevOps-y things, and knows Linux, Kubernetes, and cloud environments well)
TIL the writer and director of the movie Tár (the Cate Blanchett one) also invented Big League Chew? Am I the last to get the memo on this?
Also I love that the guidance is to stay indoors for it. Can’t hide from the flyovers, though! Props to NASA for being both punctual and quiet, something not said for most of the other flyovers this week
Clearing out storage yesterday I found an absolute gem: a sealed box of WOTC Netrunner starter decks 😍
Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. (How is it that no one remembers a show about multi-dimensional Koala bears who can stop time, but fled KoalaWalla Land because the fascist flying kangaroos ban humans at the direction of the Great Dingy Doo?)
Somehow a US Navy band and the Miami Sound Machine are the highlight of this walk
Going for a walk in my neighborhood used to be fun! Why must Trump ruin everything?
Transparent version here and coming to your email(s), I think. Not 100% clear, but my best guess at confirming this is transparent instead of white, for like, people with dark themes on their software (which rules)
How about this? Sorry, no Segoe UI on this computer. Letters might be slighty low?
I’m reading this and it’s going exactly as you’d expect. I love this bit: Gen-Z women don’t like Gen-Z men, which apparently means that the women have a problem? I mean, it can’t possibly be that men are terrible? You see, men are superior for “moving on”
Tonight I went for the victory with a second casting of Approach of the Second Sun. The girlfriend just haaaaad to be like “Pretty sure this Angel’s Grace solves that problem” 😭
I usually try to avoid using social media as a complaint box, but for years I’ve been getting multiple spam calls a day, and it only seems to get worse, not better. 5 in 3.5 hours today (accidentally answered the last because the gf said she was about to call me)
Living in DC under an authoritarian ruler is so weird. Last night my building film club had a showing of Anora with Sean Baker zoom’ing in for a Q+A afterwards(!!). His enthusiasm was infectious. I then drove my girlfriend home and we passed the DOJ-subjugated-by-Trump banners 🤷♂️
I started dating someone wonderful in September. We share a love of Heated Rivalry, Cynar, and Chartreuse. I have a very small apartment, but wanted to give her some (more) space all her own over here..
There's a "Smart Features" thing in the settings menu (“General” tab). When you do it turns a ton off, like spell checking..
Gf and I went for a walk yesterday and at a single intersection next to the Canadian embassy we spotted three Border Patrol recruiting trucks.. I guess they were appealing to tourists / trying to piss off the libs?
I recommend doing this! Though, tbf, I also recommend not doing this! That soundtrack hit so hard. Also 13yo Justin’s first experience to Traci Lords, which was probably for the best. But Halcyon and Something Good still hit so good!
If this administration has taught me anything, it’s to be wary of any 45 year-olds who look like this (Not that Stephen Miller could smile like this in his wildest dreams, though..)
I showed this for my film club Sunday night, using this variant for my presentation! Your post reminded me to Google something I should have before it: why yellow/green tints were so heavily used; found this: aperture.byu.edu?p=402 Love the ending of that movie so much
I have also finally acquired the Lando Norris Monster Energy drink, via Iceland
It’s really easy to tell which Guardsmen are from DC, and who’s from out of state. These valiant soldiers guarding the Shaw Library started mockingly waving at me as I took my phone out. I gave them the finger, and don’t feel bad about it 🤷♂️
