Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

While the Washington Post continues its decline let's remember that just earlier this year some clown in management set a goal of getting 200 million readers, an impossible number that will never happen. Ms. Watford, who joined The Post in May, also laid out big-picture goals for the company. Among them: reach 200 million paying users, which the slide deck described as a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal,” or “B.H.A.G.”&10;&10;The slide deck compares the 200 million target with efforts to land a man on the moon — and it is an ambitious goal: The Post currently has fewer than three million digital subscribers; The Times, an industry leader, has roughly 11 million total subscribers.

Went to sell my dad's stamp collection today and the store was full chaos mode and the guy had a waxed mustache and gave me $25 and said "these are fun but worthless" and the whole thing was so perfect, an A+ end. A cluttered office space filled with stacks of books, boxes, files, and potted plants.

there was a point not that long ago where "people sitting in their cars yelling about shit" was not a normal content type and honestly I think we should go back to that

Sometimes I am sad and sometimes I am numb but mostly I am very, very angry.

Since I went to the dentist one (1) week ago, I've had a crown fall out and another one crack. My lesson learned is never go to the dentist.

More than tax cuts or whatever the fuck else, the biggest boost to American small business would be single payer healthcare.

Watching both sides of the aisle race to condemn a guy who basically campaigned on "everything is too expensive and maybe it shouldn't be" is extraordinarily informative.
