Late-diagnosed ADHD, elder millennial, tired af. LIS, data, and tech in many combinations are cool. I have a tuxedo cat named Darwin and he's the best.

I like things a completely normal amount.

Describe your cat’s personality with one photo:

Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of a keysmash? The random organic nature of it?

I'm watching Sohla and Ham's Sidesgiving video and I thought she had a giant pile of just chanterelles in front of her but no, it's a big mix of slightly nicer mushrooms. I'd love her regardless but I was very "En esta economía???" for a moment

A movie that takes place where you're from

They digitally altered the name of the Steel Bridge to the Hawthorne Bridge in The Hunted, which baffles me to this day, because it's such a random detail only somebody familiar with the city would notice

Yep. I have a feeling the Rockefellers and Carnegies would be just as fucking stupid as the Musks, Bezoses, and Thiels today.

This isn't a left or right thing, but the right does have louder voices and a better distribution mechanism without paywalls

nymag.com/intelligence...
To be clear, this isn’t nostalgia for a time when fewer voices were heard. The widening of the conversation has been, in some ways, a good thing: more perspectives, more accountability, the Rizzler’s TikToks. But the downside is that we can see the full distribution of human thought in one infinite scroll, and it turns out the median is lower than we ever could’ve imagined. In theory, this is the democratization of expression. In practice, it feels like a crowdsourced lobotomy.

do u want to see quite possibly the most useless infographic ever? You're supposed to mouse over the dots for more information and it is bad

This might be the worst kind of comment to get on AO3. At least the rude and "write moar!" ones are sincere on some level
just read your story and I really enjoyed it, and honestly out of all the narratives I have checked so far, your story looked truly fantastic to me. By the way, I am a paid comic illustrator who earlier worked on Fiverr and Upwork, but now I directly connect with authors so that I can transform their stories into comics. I also have many ideas about your story regarding how we can make your story into a comic.

I feel like this is the nicest thing you can say about somebody regarding their intellectual approach to life and it is something I aspire to

These are, I realize, two of Darnielle’s dreadfully uncommon and best qualities in a single moment. He is a person with very intense opinions who loves to share them, to spread them like gospel, but he is also completely open to new information, to having his mind changed. Craig Finn remembers Darnielle’s diatribe against in-ear monitors when he first tried to wear them onstage years ago; when The Hold Steady singer toured with the Mountain Goats early this year, Darnielle admitted his strong opinion had been wrong. And, with notable exceptions, he is fine with anyone else’s different take, perspective, or experience. “He’s way smarter than me but never made me feel dumb,” Adam Voith, the booking agent who helped launch Darnielle’s touring career just after the turn of the century, tells me. “He has a base level of history or humanity that I just don’t possess. When he wanted to talk about complicated things, I always felt lifted up to his level. He could have done the opposite, which lots of very smart people do.”

You know, this seems like a real terrible ad considering what happened the last time most people heard about a submarine that was made by people who didn't know shit about building submarines

From Zohran Mamdani's campaign rally speech. We are the only ones who can save us.

jacobin.com/2025/10/mamd...
I think of the pastor I sat with just a few weeks ago in East Flatbush. He told me how in September, a young woman from his congregation approached him after church. She told him she was facing a deportation order. He knew her well, and he knew the work she did with young people with disabilities in this city. She told him she couldn’t afford an attorney and had no one else. She asked if he would go with her to 26 Federal Plaza. He said yes. Sitting in the courtroom, the judge told her to be ready to leave in the clothes she was wearing. He asked her if she had said goodbye to her family. She began to cry. And then, in what felt like a miracle, the judge changed his mind. He decided he would put her Temporary Protected Status order before the deportation order. For a minute, it seemed as if the danger had passed. But the pastor knew that ICE stood outside. They did not care about a court order, because they do not care about the rule of law. He turned to a few court watchers in the room and asked them to go outside first. He asked another man to hold the elevator. He picked up the young woman under her arms, opened the doors, rushed her past ICE agents into the elevator, and down into a waiting car before speeding off back to Brooklyn. Through it all, her feet had never even touched the ground. He told me that it felt like the Underground Railroad. And still, he knew she was anything but safe.
