@OrdinaryGamers It’s over, man.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@marclamonthill Ok, Japan. Go.

@missworld84 Why do you think you need to eat?

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@CoachDanCole_ Wait, before I read any further. This is all explained in a program you sell.

@ItsDeanBlundell Breaking news: Dean discovers an 80 year olds’ hand looks like an 80 year old hand.

You could move to New York City.

Rent an 852-square-foot apartment for $5,503 a month.

Blow $500 on three “first dates” a week and somehow remain single for six years.

Finally meet someone you like, then discover they’re “not really looking for anything serious right now.”

Get a master’s degree so you can qualify for an internship.

Apply to 147 jobs, get 93 automated rejections, and finally find an “entry-level” position requiring five years of experience.

Eventually land a six-figure job and still need a roommate to make rent.

Pay federal income tax, New York State income tax, AND New York City income tax because apparently living there is a three-level subscription.

Learn that a “quiet neighborhood” means the sirens only come by every 20 minutes.

Pay $27 every day for a sandwich (no sides) because the place has exposed brick and a handwritten menu.

Take the subway to work every morning and develop the useful skill of pretending not to notice absolutely anything happening around you.

Spend 45 minutes traveling three miles.

Carry your groceries home six blocks because parking near your apartment is more of a philosophical concept than an actual possibility.

Have “owning a washer and dryer” become one of your primary measures of generational wealth.

Walk past a mountain of trash bags on your way to a restaurant with a Michelin star.

Tell your friends back home you don’t need a car while spending $46 on an Uber because the subway is delayed again.

Go to Central Park when you want to remember what trees look like.

Spend your twenties telling everyone you could NEVER live anywhere else.

Then one day you visit your cousin in Iowa.

He has a house with four bedrooms, a garage, a yard, two cars, four kids, and somehow pays less than you do for the apartment where your refrigerator touches your couch.

But hey.

The NYC bagels are incredible.

@KyleKulinski It’s capped because the benefit is capped. Because the benefit…..is….capped.

@RogersHelps Done. They may be Roger’s employees or third party, but they’re wearing your uniforms and selling your product. Nothing will make me less willing to sign with Roger’s than having an aggressive rep at my own home.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@RogersHelps Please train your neighborhood canvassers that “No, thank you” means “No” and not an invitation to keep trying to sell.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@tracewoodgrains Good God, what is that.

I made a personal black hole that makes you take breaks 🕳️

A shader for Ghostty that spawns a small black hole in your terminal - it drifts around, gravitationally lensing your text. The longer you work without stopping, the bigger it gets, until it's basically demanding you go touch grass

Take a break and it quietly shrinks away

🇨🇦 Montreal, Canada, May 2026: The pro-Hamas group “Mtl4Pal” has been displaying effigies of Jews wearing kippas, Israeli politicians, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Donald Trump hanging from nooses at protests.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@bendreyfuss Of course the “can”. They either don’t know how, or they’ve been conditioned that eating out all the time is normal human behaviour. I was out in my own in University in the late 90’s and early 00’s, struggling to pay rent and utilities…..

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@SpencerFernando You would be a fool to think that Canada increasing trade and relations with the primary geopolitical foe to the US (and us) would not result in a reaction.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@SpencerFernando Reorienting towards China is not the greatest move either. An effort to diversify trade away from the USA over time is fine, but orienting towards a communist nation that has proved to be a security threat to us is a mistake.

@neontaster Do we even know for sure that Page and Nyong’o are actually going to be in Odyssey? All I’ve read seems to be rumour so far.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@neontaster Just choked - bit on my potato salad. Solid tweet.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@neontaster I’m admittedly not too knowledgeable about Dune beyond the movies, I should probably get into it more. Makes sense the way you explain it.

[Matt Connolly @MattConnollyRLP]

@bendreyfuss No. You must pre-rinse. The amount of times I’ve had to stick my hand down a drain or scoop God-knows-that-slime-is off the filter because the dishes weren’t given a cursory rinse beforehand is not insignificant.
