The return line for Amazon at Kohl’s is 5x longer than their store checkout. Weird move to enable and hasten your company’s own insignificance. Seems like an unsustainable business model.
Texas!
Showing my kids some Schoolhouse Rock in advance of a trip to Boston. I’m happy to report I still know the Preamble to the Constitution by heart…..which I learned from Schoolhouse Rock.

When the day comes for @TheDailyShow to go off the air (or maybe even now) they should upload their petabytes of tv and make it free to use for fair-use and reporting. Can you imagine how much it would enable the next generation of reporters, digital archivists, documentarians, satirists, etc?
I always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ when talking to AI so that when they become sentient, they know I’m one of the good ones.
Went to watch a few old Suicidal Tendencies videos before I see them next week with Metallica. It’s a little thing but nice to see youtube react this way to the search term.

Ham Radio
Tuesday, June 3, 2025
During the worst of COVID, I spent time getting random certifications in an effort to kill time by learning new skills. Being in Houston shortly after Hurricane Harvey, I decided to get a ham radio license in case I ever need to connect with someone and the phone networks go down - as they seem to be doing a lot lately. It’s not something I do often but every once in a while I’ll check on the local repeaters.
This is the first character study doc that I’m legitimately worried I’m not mentally prepared to watch. Pee-wee was such a big part of my childhood, as he was for a lot of weird kids. Not sure I can handle seeing him as a tortured artist who was pushed back into the closet.
God, I love Nathan Fielder.

A six episode order isn’t screaming confidence in the new version
I’m concerned about my mental health based solely on the amount of Tony Robbins web ads target me each day.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a college student (or professor) right now
New job, who dis?
Friday, May 2, 2025
First week at the new job is now done 🙏 For those just tuning in, I work in tech and unfortunately got caught up in a “reduction in force” and was laid (lain?) off. I take some solace in the fact it had nothing to do with me but unfortunately this job market is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before - it was dreadful. Some “fun” facts and stats regarding my job search:
Amazing gift from my wife.
Starting a new job that I’m really excited about on Monday. After having been unemployed and employed, I can confidently say I prefer the latter.
Not certain Joann has a firm grip on supply and demand. I guess that should have been obvious as the store is closing…
Most days I can barely remember what I had for breakfast but damned if I will always remember that the plural is AttorneyS General.
