Was in DC with @brookecordova.bsky.social to visit family when a group of older Korean ladies asked to take a picture with us doing that finger heart shape sign.
They were very polite so we obliged but it’s funny cause this is not the first time this has happened to me

I know it’s been said before, but the fact that you can’t listen to music while working on music is some real bs

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again:

Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by.
Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely.
Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

The Washington Post has a wonderful obit of Tom Lehrer. I laughed out loud many times. Here's a gift link, and here's this piece (or its traffic) will convince whoever is running that place to replenish and respect the obit section. 1/2 🎁https://wapo.st/3J6GVeA

Tom Lehrer, master satirist of Cold War era, dies at 97

In song, he brilliantly skewered clichés about romance, patriotism and small-town life.

It’s weird cause usually you’d get like a “we’ve received your application” auto email from a company like this when an application is first submitted but I didn’t see anything like that. I know people who work there but no one close enough that would recommend me without at least talking to me

Colin Andrew Grant @colinandgrant.bsky.social · Jul 26

If someone tried to use my email then I gotta ask…what’s the end game here? I know enough people at the company that eventually someone would’ve found out

Colin Andrew Grant @colinandgrant.bsky.social · Jul 26

I just got turned down for a job I never applied to and I’m wondering if someone tried to use my email cause my skill set matched or if they’re just preemptively sending out rejection emails 😆( I’m very happy where I’m working at not looking for something else at the moment)
