Thank you @mbdando.bsky.social for giving our New York Lonely Boy the trailer he deserves.
Yesterday while wearing this shirt someone stopped me on the street to tell me he loved my shirt and that he and his wife ran it last year. I just smiled and said, “cool!” Best I could tell he was not a hobbit.
“Sure Sebastian, your cape is real cool. Yep very black. Hey can you go make up the orgy bed while me and Frank finish this FIFA match. Next game? Check back in after you clean up and we’ll see.”
Found this while cleaning out my daughter’s school bag. Only sense I can make of this is that she’s a Doctor Who companion.
Why didn’t you guys tell me Germany was referred to as Ale mania in Spanish? Beautiful language.
Balatro sighting. And to be fair, this kid is right. It IS hard to stop playing this brilliant game. But I’m not sure that qualifies it as “fentanyl”. Plus ça change…
Apparently I activated the Stargate setting in @zotero.org ? I have no idea what is going on here...
The one thing I’ll give LA over NYC is the many random little hikes in the mountains and canyons all over the city. Had a short time between hotel checkout and flight and figured, why not do a quick stroll through the mountains in Burbank.
Great week at #icls2026. High density of interesting and challenging talks, opportunities to catch up with old and new friends, and, because why not, an improvised soundscape with @awasteofredmeat.bsky.social and friends
Um we had celebrating to do last night Apple Watch get off my back
I may be a fungi, but I’m no mushroom. (More where that came from on this episode of Pop & Play share.transistor.fm/s/5b02845d)
This episode on gardening and outdoor play was a ton of fun. John told us radishes are a playful veggie, and he’s right—zoom in and look at these little guys peaking out of the ground!
