You might think I’m on tiktok because of hot bodies and weird life hacks… but really my feed is fully “here’s a really cool mini-trailer for camping we’re checking out! Come on inside and see!”


Good morning! Please show me your mug. Thank you.

Shoutout to the fellow solo business owners working late (or early) catching up on work from summer vacations.

It’s fun being your own boss and getting to set your own hours and work from anywhere. But you still have to do the work eventually. 😁


Obviously this is how clean my desk and office are 100% of the time. (Don’t turn around.)

Someone keeps inviting me to a Jira project? Or is this just their marketing emails trying to make me think I’m part of a team when I’m all alone. 😔

A screenshot of an email from Jira service management inviting me to be a part of their management.

Well that doesn’t sound like fun.

The more I see social networks flail and fall, the more I appreciate Manton & crew’s going slow approach to Micro.blog.


“Go on X and ask what kind of dog we should get?”

Well my kids have already adapted to the new brand. 🤮 😂


Good morning. Starting my day with a nice cup of Stanley. ☕️

A coffee mug half filled with coffee is in a man’s hand. The coffee mug has a STANLEY branding printed on the side.

Customizing my Stardew Valley experience to an AFC Richmond one.

Our one fish (yellow, top right) always wants to hide in this corner of the tank near the top during the day. At night, it’s fine to roam everywhere. 🤷‍♂️

Stardew Valley+ is now available for anyone subscribed to Apple Arcade.


I can’t wait until my new computer arrives and I can finally export a 90 minute 1080p video while transcribing another video while syncing 100GB via Dropbox while updating my todo list in Notion while pretending I don’t look at Twitter without my laptop’s fans spinning up.

I’ll never upgrade again!


Instead of going for stupid walks every day this week, I had peanut butter and honey on toast for breakfast every day this week.

I’m not saying these are equal achievements. I just really like peanut butter and honey.


Threadbare is spot on.

Our largest social networks are piloted by greedy shells of human beings, wretched kleptocrats that have stumbled into opulence and experienced no gratitude for their fortune. They don’t see running these companies as burdens that come with responsibility — they see them as vehicles for money and power, with full awareness that the very real consequences of their decision-making will never truly reach them.
