A while back, I stopped saying happy birthday to people on Facebook. Now I’m in too deep to reverse course. I can’t wish some random high school acquaintance a happy birthday when I ignored my great aunt last month. I’ll likely never type those words again.
The nickname for John is Johnny. But what’s the point of a nickname? Saving time or changing what people call you? If it’s about efficiency, Johnny fails (it actually adds a syllable). And honestly, it feels like a step down from John. This is all very confusing.
If there’s any day to share an hour long YouTube video related to Walker Texas Ranger- it’s today. Apologies in advance for any work you don’t get done because of this video
Adding “Facebook Marketplace Sales Rep” to my resume: client relations, pipeline management. This role has it all.
Not for the weak. Half the job is confirming the chairs I'm trying to sell exist. “Is this available?” “Yes.” “Great.” And that’s the whole interaction.
Friendly reminder that a monkey was once tried and convicted of smoking a cigarette in Indiana.

Torn between skipping pleasantries with AI to save resources and always saying please/thank you out of fear they'll get rid of the rude ones first when they take over. Am I alone in this?
Picked up our Indian order tonight, only to find out someone had accidentally taken it. Since Nikki and I had ordered everything at the highest spice level, the restaurant employees went into full panic mode, frantically calling the unsuspecting customer before they took their first bite.
Flashback! I just remembered that my wife found our top choice of daycare for our future child while searching for a fish fry. That’s pretty Pittsburgh.
Power still out from the windstorm around Pittsburgh last night. No heat so whole family slept in our bed like it was Little House on the Prairie. In lieu of breakfast, the kids have opted for lollipops. Tablet batteries running low but ingenuity running high.
Dropping off a government form at the county building carrying every form of identification I own, copies of the blank forms I’m submitting, extra pens, and a spare copy of the Allegheny county handbook just to avoid driving back to downtown Pittsburgh a second time. I’ll let you know how it goes!
I wrote a little piece about how awesome The Living Dead Museum is in Pittsburgh and why horror fans should see it.

Quick question: is it appropriate to describe bread that wasn't toasted as 'raw'?
Just misspelled 'restaurants' three times, three different ways, before finally switching it to 'places to eat.' How's your day going?
Hope your beautiful Pittsburgh Saturday is going as well as mine!
Accepting that I’m here for a good time, not a long time based solely on my love and continued consumption of chili dogs.
My kids have discovered swear words. They think it’s hilarious when I say a “bad word” that’s technically okay (like shiitake mushrooms).
Last night my oldest tried to invent his own safe version… and proudly announced “fuck-zillion,” which, for the record, is neither a real word nor a real number.
Made a new friend last night. Introduced him to new friends. Found him a new home.
Post flu recovery lunch.
Friday night on the Kansas plains.
A long, but great read on #LetsGoPens captain Sidney Crosby from Sportnet's @sonnysachdeva.bsky.social:
Pittsburgh stands with our polish pierogi cousins
You’ve heard of the Pittsburgh parking chair, now get ready for the Pittsburgh parking walker.
A few thoughts -- OK a bunch really -- based on this KDKA story on Kevin Acklin's frustration that efforts to "save the Post-Gazette" are being stymied by the seeming disinterest of its owners, the Block family...

Good morning Cleveland! Thanks for your hospitality
FIRST GAME, FIRST SHOT, FIRST GOAL FOR AVERY HAYES 🐧
And look at the family's reaction!
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is to Game of Thrones what Andor is to Star Wars: a complete tonal and thematic 180 that somehow works. It’s almost unbearably wholesome and a hell of a lot of fun. See it!
Am I a 36 year old man eating his lunch watching the muppet show while my kids are in school? Yes. Do I feel any shame? Not enough so that I won’t post about it online.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

In college I accidentally followed a Facebook page called “Steve.”
That’s it. Just “Steve.”
I graduated in 2012. For the past 15 years or so it has posted essentially the same thing: the word “Steve,” occasionally dressed up with a different background.
I think it might finally be breaking people.
