mastodon 4.7.3Internet nerd from way way back. Currently: writing. Mostly jokes.
My partner is a grammar nerd, so whenever a worker at a store says “how are we doing today?” And I give a normal “Good!” response. She pauses, then says “Well.”
I always let her know that I appreciate her use of proper grammar by saying “Whenever you do that, I love you a little bit fewer.”
Since 2024, a specific car was sold in the US with two different names and badges, virtually identical except only one of them comes with CarPlay. Which one do you think sold more?
I spent the past couple months in a deep rabbit hole, researching and following the used car market, all to buy a perfect old Honda Fit. Today, I wrote up everything I learned from the whole process https://a.wholelottanothing.org/everything-i-learned-when-buying-a-used-honda-fit/
every time I see 250th merch, the dates really do look like an epitaph on a gravestone for how long democracy lasted
A guy (I’ve never met) down the street put this huge flag on his house and I’m convinced he’s either my new best friend or the worst neighbor imaginable, there is no in-between.
I used to love using an emdash constantly, but I guess my own writing was training data for AI and now to avoid accusations that I'd ever use AI in writing, I stopped using them.

John Hinckley Jr was a time traveler. He came so close to reversing the worst fiscal policies ever implemented by a president and saving the present day economy
I went to a baseball store and got a fancy new mitt and they asked me if I wanted it fully broken in and I said sure, but how? Turns out they have a 1,000lb hydraulic press that pummels your glove for an hour.
I returned to a super soft, flexible mitt that feels like it was made with baby skin.
I bet the Washington Generals watch Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries clips before every game to study their losing moves
Current Status: EV camping at the beach. Air mattress in the back with all the seats set flat.
hey siri, post a photo of the 50lb brick shithouse outdoor chair I just built in a couple hours using 2x6 pressure treated lumber and use the furthest distance photo and reduce the resolution so no one zooms in and sees all my mistakes, ok thanks siri
It’s weird to be at this Portland Fire vs Indiana Fever game because there’s a bunch of old creepy dudes in Cunningham jerseys parading around their anti-trans bullshit.
When you’re sick with a summer cold, you should be entitled a $100 a day as a rebate against the amount of summer fun you are missing out on.
It’s strange to be in central California getting gas at a station and there’s anti-government posters on the pumps saying “high prices? Blame Sacramento! Vote those jerks out” but they’re not hand painted by cranks, they’re official Chevron ads.
