Police are seeking an arrest warrant for the CEO of That Record Label, so I guess we all should be ready for the nastiest spray of distraction hit-jobs of all time 😬

No!

Is tomorrow the day I break free from my cognitive overload paralysis

I went to the grocery store yesterday and forgot at least 60% of the things I intended to buy and still spent like $200

Osaka and Chicago really are sibling cities and I miss it.

It has now been seven weeks since noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Again, even beyond the general Internet shutdown, we simply don't know what's happened with him. Please listen to his music.

Why are they always trying to kill people I am so tired

Well happy 420 everyone

speaking as a lifelong global traveler: getting to the airport early has saved my ass from massive travel disruptions so many times that I now view it as a key travel survival skill.

Also, I love airport bars.

This is why I stopped caring about the MCU, I have a job already

As I do every year on 4/20, I will be following the Jeopardy! interview segment tonight by saying “Dream blunt rotation. Now let’s get back into the Jeopardy! round.”

lots of weird takes on here today so my contributions are:
-potatoes are great
-women should be able to WFH during periods
-sheets should be washed weekly
-life coaching and self-help can be useful but systemic discrimination can still be greater than individual effort

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited
