Today is the one year anniversary of my first zepbound shot; my 52nd shot was yesterday. I have lost 58.2 pounds since I started.

Chart showing weight over the past year. It varies from week to week, but overall a downward trend averaging 1.1 pound lost per week.

When I was a teenager: The bowling alley The beach Bookstores (B&N, Borders), music stores The mall, in general Fast food restaurants The laser tag place I don’t know that it’s rent and profit seeking, but there really is much less tolerance for young people in public now than 25-30 years ago (ugh)

This post from the Virginia Lottery cracks me up

Instagram post from the Virginia lottery, showing a woman holding a big check with her winnings in the amount of four dollars.

Text of post:

virginialottery Never forget to celebrate yourself - a win's a win! We absolutely loved Lindsey dropping by our headquarters for this photo op on a $4 win playing the new Rollin' in Riches Scratcher!

She told us she had tickets to a concert in Richmond and when she won on the Scratcher she bought from a Sheetz in King George, she knew she had to swing by our Prize Zone for the big check moment! Congratulations, Lindsey! And thanks for following us on social!!

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn't, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn't much space for it. I think it's holding us back.

I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

Post from me: Chad @supposedly.bsky.social

Smoke-filled back rooms. Seriously, I don't think it can be done in public.

Really? I think the only way to do it is through radical openness. Part of the problem is that the left is highly fragmented and lacks a norms of good faith and pluralism. I don't think you can build those through clandestine organizing.

Blacksburg’s radar is down too. Lovely.

Facebook post from WAVY meteorologist Jeff Edmondson:

We are going to have more difficulty tracking thunderstorms today, 2 of the 3 radar sites I use across Virginia are offline.

While this big line of storms goes through central Virginia, the National Weather Service radar in Wakefield that serves southeastern Virginia has been broken and offline for several days. They say it might be fixed on Friday.

Poor Lily. I set up a radio for her to listen to so it isn’t as quiet in there. I don’t know if it makes a difference to her.

This video was taken on May 30.

Chad@supposedly· Jun 13

She did this at around 12:30. I didn’t see her until after 7:00 this morning, so god knows what could’ve happened in all that time.

Chad@supposedly· Jun 13

Lily got under the fence in her bedroom area overnight somehow. I didn’t hear it at all. This morning was supposed to be Suzy’s Librela shot appointment. I think the vet’s office closed her part of the account so I didn’t have to get reminder notifications anymore. I appreciate that.

How is Google already awarding the U.S. soccer team a win? Is this some AI thing?

The wikipedia photo for the guy who won the first round of Colombia’s presidential election is really something

Wikipedia page for Abelardo Gabriel de la Espriella Otero. There is a photo of him taken sitting in a vehicle with a seatbelt on. He is wearing sunglasses and a fedora.

I don’t think data centers should get tax breaks but also I don’t love this. It’s counterproductive.

Amazon Don and Data Center Diva, you are making a MONUMENTAL MISTAKE! Maybe you should ask Glenn Youngkin how that worked out for him!

“They just put shit wherever” Lol yeah

Fred Merrill was Sasaki's lead designer on Fort Monroe's first master plan, which laid out the site's long-term future and was approved by then-Gov. Bob McDonnell in 2013. He said when the land was transferred to the authority, the Army handed over the keys and left without providing any details on where utility lines and other infrastructure were buried. That left the authority scrambling to untangle the mess, and quickly learning the Army did not play by the same zoning rules as cities.

"They just put shit wherever, they don't have to get permits," Merrill said. "It was just a rat's nest of utilities down there."

“Firm, intimate contact” lol. This is for a concrete joint sealant. I used to work with a proposal manager who was always looking out to delete the word “intimate” from our writeups because we don’t have those types of relationships with our clients.

Clean Up
Tooling is recommended immediately after application to ensure firm, intimate contact with the joint interface. Dry tooling is preferred, although tooling agents can be utilized. Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint can be removed with IPA, MEK, Xylol or Toluol before sealant cures.

This morning was the first time I have been under 200 pounds. I haven’t been at this weight since sometime while I was an undergrad. It was a much different time.

Electric usage at my house is down 14.5% year over year, but the bill still went up. It can’t all be due to data centers.

Your usage is down by 35.37% (371kWh) compared to last bill period.

Your usage is down by 14.50% (115kWh) compared to last year.

Your current month's bill is down by 32.22% ($58.68) compared to last bill period.

Your current month's bill is up by 3.69% ($4.39) compared to last year.

*Your bill amount reflects more than just your energy use. Changes in electricity prices and rate adjustments can affect your total, even if your usage goes down.
