I’m probably delusional, but I hoped Elon would get bored and whatever-this-is-called-now would come back as a community. But I get it. I’m trying to move to substack: garann.substack.com and would be happy for follow suggestions there!

@ABC7Chicago coverage: Maggie Butler is 1 of more than 1,000 high school athletic trainers throughout #Illinois, who help teens prepare and recover for the on-and-off-the-field challenges of #SelfCare. But at Thornwood HS, Maggie is THE athletic trainer for the entire school, working six days a week to help student athletes across 15 different sports throughout the school year. March is National #AthleticTrainingMonth, and there’s no doubt athletic trainers throughout Illinois and the U.S. deserve a standing ovation for all the #priceless and #selfless work they do to enhance the lives of kids from all over. On Friday, Maggie was surprised and honored with the National #MakingADifferenceOnANDOffTheField Award during a special moment with students and staff in South Holland. #IHSA #NFHS #NCAA #NAIA

My 3yo is sick so I asked my mom to pick us up some butter. (You’re American if this makes sense.) The look on my face when she handed me enough to pay the standing charge on my gas bill for a month.

The most American part of my 4th of July was the two teen girls who looked like Instagram influencers playing smash or pass with industrial tractors in the loggerodeo parade

I really hoped this app would return to benign meaningless shitposting, but now it’s recommending me tweets from joe rogan and jk rowling. If you’re going to run headlong into irrelevancy you don’t have to be a dick about it, twitter.

Anyway, this is the only personality test that matters.

I want to be a graphic designer.

I have ✨the best✨ AI-driven app idea. I guess step two would be to learn literally one single thing about AI coding.

If you see a thread about a bank from a guy called Mike Alfred know that 99% of guys with two first names can’t be trusted and also that he is shorting the bank in question.

A river of boiling shit flows through your town. You haven’t seen a tomato for 18 months. MOTD is 3 minutes long and narrated by a parakeet. Your salary is paid directly to British Gas. You solve a riddle to speak to a GP. You feel people come here because they want an easy life

Not the return of the dunking stool being announced in neofeudal Scotland

On the plane back from my home, where I no longer exist, to Scotland, a surreal place where I live, I finally saw Everything Everywhere All At Once and it was extremely relatable

@dandean Thank you! It’s just a visit, but it’s been heaven, even under an inch of ice

The most challenging adjustment in being back in Seattle is remembering pedestrians have the right of way, after years of motorists trying to mow down my children at every intersection

Today’s fun British thing is articles desperately warning of the effects of window condensation and providing affiliate links to various jars of salt, while collectively agreeing to ignore the existence of double-paned glass

If you’re doing something more experimental than React on AWS and you want an intern/apprentice til EOY please let me know! I’ve been doing devrel recently but before that I coded for 20 years in damn near everything

picked a cool time to try and go back to front-end dev

It makes no sense to me how energy costs in this country are allowed to skyrocket just at the whim of middlemen who have a monopoly on energy, and everyone acts like there’s nothing that can be done about it?
