    When people talk about someone having a “good” memory what they’re saying is that person can both remember and recall things. When I talk about having a “good” memory, I am explaining that I am cursed.

  • From yesterday’s post:

    I don’t want this blog to be about the awfulness of the real world. I want to be writing funny things about about dumb stuff and/or linking you to useful, joy-inspiring things. But I am watching all of this crazy shit happen in real time with a horrified look on my face.

    It’s been almost 40 years since Washington beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field. Yes, Washington beat Green Bay in Milwaukee in 1988, but that game wasn’t at Lambeau.

    Seven (7) active NFL players have more than 9,925 career receiving yards but only two (2) of them have only played for one team over the course of their careers. Who are they?

    I’ve never been good at sleeping. My mind is an unruly beast that buzzes and squawks and squeals and honks at all hours but particularly after midnight. That’s when I do (and have done) a lot of writing, a lot of reading, and a lot of rabbit hole-ing.

    LinkedIn is little more than a group of hucksters who change their tune every few years in order to sell courses and ebooks to credulous idiots who think the fifteen minutes they devoted to the Wim Hof Method in 2020 makes them founders.

    Last night Alyssa Thomas became the first player in WNBA history to have 15 or more assists in consecutive games [and] the first player in WNBA history to have a 10/15/15 game.

    Also:

    Ralph Sampson thinks he’d average 30/20 in today’s NBA, which is adorable.

    I hope the person that diss is about reads this post, but I don’t think they will for reasons including but not limited to that it contains at least one three-syllable word. He’s catty today, folks! Watch out!

    His point wasn’t “you have to be and think and act and dress differently every day because being the same every day is for normie square losers.” His point was that we cannot be so bound to what we thought yesterday that we refuse to change our minds today.

    Those parts were actually pretty close to the surface but obscured by alcohol, illness, and sadness, and the bad choices that precede and follow alcohol, illness, and sadness.

    Some odds and ends:

    โœ๐Ÿฝโœ๐Ÿฝ I’m taking on some new clients come September but I will still have some bandwidth. If you’re in the market for a writer with a background in journalism, advertising, AI, and UX, I’m available. Peep my LinkedIn or whatever.

    โšพ๐Ÿ€ In addition to here (which I’m slowly but surely turning into my home base) I’m still blogging over at oddball.blog, the blog relaunch of a sports trivia email newsletter I co-created in 2019, and at Micro.blog.

    ๐Ÿ†•๐Ÿ†• I recently updated swipe so take a look if that’s the kind of thing you do.

    ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด If you’re in the market for new sheets, I have a suggestion.

    ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“บ My partner and I are catching up on Silo and there is a scene in S2E04 between Tim Robbins and Tanya Moodie that is utter perfection. IYKYK.

    ๐Ÿงฉ๐Ÿง  If you like Wordle and golf you might like WordleGolf. I “shot” a -4 today. Go and beat me.

    ๐Ÿงฉ๐Ÿง  If you’re looking for a new daily puzzle game, a pal got me (and I got my partner) hooked on Squaredle. I just crushed today’s puzzle but if I could get a do-over there would be a few things I’d do differently.

    Anyway, as mentioned earlier there’s some grass that needs to be touched.

    Be good to yourself.

    I’m out.

  • On the advice of @cheesemaker I am exploring the idea of writing interactive fiction.
