A different social circle of mine has been sharing personal bingo cards so I might as well stick mine here as well.

Came for the brass 'n' bass, stayed for the alto flute solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2loN0JFZa0Y

When I started playing around with social media, so many people—parents, teachers, &c.—were scared about sharing their lives online.

Now a subset of that group are the most annoying users of social media.

New definition of friend: someone for whom you could be a character witness and vice versa

Here's a Dutch punk song about hating tourists

"ASAP" is dumb because it actually means nothing.

A neat podcast going through all the names used to describe Jesus in the Bible

I have yet to justify buying something from this site but their email newsletter is 10/10 https://jdandkateindustries.com/

Why is it that two kids looking at mobile devices on the couch is anti-social and bad but interacting the same amount while on the floor with Lego scattered around them is parallel play and good?

Getting a card for someone. Do I… sound insincere and look up a quip to write or write nothing and sound insincere?

Camping. Definitely was awoken by a party on a boat playing music from 4-6am. Campground staff say there's nothing they can do (the lake is not part of the park) and that the police are highly unlikely to come as it's a small lake.

So… who has a boat and wants to start up some freshwater piracy?

BeReal is all about "today" and doesn't even let you see the past.

Old Twitter was all about the newest-at-the-top feed

X still is about what's trending and showing you recent things it thinks you'll like.

Sure, FB and Instagram show you "memories" of today in the past, but the core is still recent content (and 24 hour content on stories).

Even blogs are all about what's the most recent.

Are there any social platforms that are about evergreen content?

Gotta love living somewhere that has health warnings for both really hot days and really cold days. (Not joking; our weather is great 50 weeks out of the year)

Once I got a job that had a line similar to this in the job listing even though it didn't describe me. I don't recommend it.

"If you don't like to work as a team, don't want to give 100% every day, or are looking for a job where you check in and check out so you get a paycheque, this job isn't for you."

I wanted a “real” biking shirt and my wife picked this up at the thrift store.

How wrong is it to wear a shirt from a charity ride that you didn’t participate in?

Change my mind: virtual retreats are dumb

Have you been to an NHL game? NFL/CFL?
