it has taken less than one day of caring for my sister's dog to understand that starting every morning outside would have immeasurable benefits to my own physical and mental well-being

One of the few things that brings me joy is puzzles. Ever since I tasked my agents to them, I enjoy them 1000x more. Instead of getting frustrated, I ask them to describe key emotional highlights of the solve. The "Eureka" moment is so much more pleasurable when it's unearned!

@friezacrane crazy timing on this, i watched shame (2011) last night and there was some kind of steamboat willy era thing on in the middle of an argument and thought the same thing

me looking over my various trello/notion todo graveyards: wow, there's so many fragments of my artistic legacy my family/friends will have to pick up when i'm dead!
my hometown's funeral home using chatgpt to write my obituary: Ross seemingly enjoyed using the computer very much.

@friezacrane i know it doesn't fix anything to hide them but it helped me a lot to do so via https://t.co/V6xZM8HDXE

one of my favorite pastimes is to log onto this website, read a phrase like "defensive drivers are people-pleasing narcissists" and then immediately log off and go about my business while it sinks in my brain like an iron weight that dropped through a pond and settled in the silt

had a dream that i ordered an uber to a friend's house and when it came it was just a pig with the uber logo and a qr code stapled to its collar. i got on and instead of taking me to my friend's place it brought me to a farm and then settled down in the mud with another pig

me: [scrambling to find children's books in my house] "how about [brambly hedge: winter story], want me to read you this?"
my cousin's kiwi 4-year-old: "most definitely *not*."

a couple times while lucid dreaming i've thought "ooh let's try breathing underwater!" and then immediately i begin to drown and spend the next minute of the dream coughing and hacking

@ZECTBynmo i too have recently switched to firefox, for the same reason

in all my years of drinking beer, this was a new one for me

[ross doran @dorandrawin]

the year is 2108. my great-granddaughter has a debilitating new form of anxiety because she has to manage paid subscriptions/relationships with the profane AI avatars of her grand, great and great-great grandparents (all deceased). half the time we just hawk pharmaceutical pills

[ross doran @dorandrawin]

the architects of these massive wayward death machines are reckless fucking idiots

[ross doran @dorandrawin]

@ZECTBynmo i play new zeldas much the same, by paragliding off a map tower to some faraway mesa, finding spots to rest during the climb that absolutely should not exist, and dying dishonorably to a lynel

[ross doran @dorandrawin]

at 37 i've developed some pretty deep-seated neck issues, due in large part to my habit of swerving into oncoming traffic if they don't turn off their 5000 lumen xenon high beams

guy in the stall next to me at dublin airport playing loud music on his phone skips through a few tracks to try and find the best one for the occasion, settles on Hoobastank - The Reason

@friezacrane tried to tell my very offline wife about this movie but called it "one big beautiful afternoon", which even she knew was incredibly stupid and wrong

[ross doran @dorandrawin]

it's honestly amazing when a service tries to upsell me by showing me the math that proves i was overpaying for it the whole time
