I often overlook that after 4 years of an expensive university, one of the first things my roommates and I did was to sign a contract for DSL that cost about $140/month.

2 of us were sharing a bedroom, yet we spent that much on early Internet access. And yet we called AOL a walled garden.

So I now own an #Xbox and #Overwatch and I'm absolutely terrible at it but will play it constantly and screw up both work and school.

It's like I really did just revert to my college days...

I am very disappointed that Tim Berners-Lee's wiki page does not currently say "may have invented the web".

Superorganism is exactly what I need in my life. You probably need them, too, and just don't know it. #music

"Some kid can bring pertusis to school, but I can't bring peanuts?"

Holy #@%. What is wrong with people?

Now we're at the point of the power page when random things start beeping.

To be fair, there have also been discussions about doors being left open, inadequate communication, not enough police presence, and glass doors.

And nobody has recommended arming teachers...

School safety meeting. So far people have asked about drones, metal detectors, and why doors unlock in the event of a fire. I want to scream.

The great thing about randomly playing albums you bought last year is realizing that you love Julia Holter because she is amazing, not just because everybody told you to. #music

That went... surprisingly well. Nautilus notified me that my #nextcloud was up and running before I even realized the server was totally back up.

Guess now is as good a time as any to snapshot my droplet and migrate it to support more storage. Let me check if anyone is using it.
Me: Nope
Well, that's everybody.

Reset my noscript settings and now I'm spending a couple hours whitelisting critical sites and blacklisting trackers and whatnot. This is my free time... #weblife

The thing is, I actually really enjoy watching this team. After so many rotten personalities from the previous few years, Pederson and Roseman have assembled a team that is fun to root for.

And man, there aren't many players more fun to watch run than Ajayi. And Foles? Dammit, who wouldn't root for him?

Part of me wanted the Eagles to lose so that I wouldn't have to deal with the pain of watching the Pats beat them in the SB again. But I guess now I'm stuck cheering for them in 2 weeks. This was too dominant of a performance.

FUUUUUUUUUUU

My teenage years/early 20s are just going to be such a source of anguish over the next few years, aren't they.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that the known racist POTUS has referred to majority black countries as shitholes. Who could ever have seen this coming?

My basement is currently home to Schrödinger's squirrel. There's either 1 or none down there depending on whether or not it figured out what to do with the open door.

Actually, there's probably 0, 1, or 5 depending on the door and his friends.
