All I need in life is a platform to share what fun fact I just learned without condemnation, interruption, or annoying unnecessary topic changes, and I will be happy.

100% sure I had this problem when I dislocated and fractured my elbow earlier this year xkcd.com/883/

I keep seeing two numbers used to describe the size of the podcast industry:

"Podcasting is a $2 billion a year industry."

"The podcast industry is worth $20 billion."

Can anyone tell me where these numbers came from and how they're calculated?

(They're often quoted but never cited)

I love soup but I hate serving it. It's so hard to get a fair amount of solids.

Bonus question: ask your spouse the same thing and also if they'd be okay if you did it

Would you allow yourself to get abducted for 30 days for $1 million?

Why are so many of our long weekends here done with a day off on Monday? Why not Friday?

Glengis and I, we're going places. Happy Turkey-dressed-as-Columbus Day.

Gotta love people seeing multiple cards in a row and thinking it means I didn’t shuffle so therefore they get to shuffle for themselves now right in the middle of a game

My new favourite way to kill a housefly: catch it out of mid-air and chuck it at a hard surface

People going around acting like banning the use of personal electronics in the classroom prevents students from using them in an emergency make no sense to me.

if there were a service that alerted me when (and only when) this kind of organ-based musical event was going to be happening near me, i'd pay for that

i've been redirecting x.com to my notion dashboard with this lil browser extension: einaregilsson.com/redirector/

it's been more effective than any of the apps (focus, opal, etc) i've tried on my mac to break my twitter habit!

To the 11 people who wished me a happy birthday by commenting on my mum's Facebag post, a type of greeting that only is getting to me because I wanted to write this, I thank you heartily, but I can't help but feel like you wished me a happy birthday more for the sake of your relationship with my mother than your relationship with myself. Of course, you'll never see this and I'm thanking you more for the sake of my relationship with people other than yourself. Turnabout is fair play.

I've been overhearing a lot of prank call recordings because apparently those are a thing.

Let it be known that if someone were to get someone to call me with an attempt at a prank call, I'd probably never speak to them again.

I've realised that 100% of my intentional meatspace socialising (i.e. the kind that is draining but also necessary for me) is not for reasons that I intentionally want to socialise.

I keep having thoughts like "if I had the time and energy, I'd start a club"

I am getting really fed up with websites demanding that I train their machine learning algorithms to prove I'm human.

The web is so much better if you only have to see the things you want to see
