A post from Mastodon, it reads:
From the archive, but also one of my absolute favourites:
Dreamt I was at a dinner gala and Mags Thatch was at the next table (we were the first two to arrive). She was in a tracksuit, and thoroughly nice. I was surprised at how people have given her such a hard time.

#LukesMildManneredDreams
I decided to catalog all of my silly, nice dreams. I started a post on Mastodon and then meant to reply to it to create the thread, but I forgot to reply to some and broke the chain, so I created this hashtag with everything in.

I did this in contrast to my wife who used to wake up screaming after having night terrors. Whereas I would dream of nice trousers, having salad with the Aphex Twin, or hanging out with people in a relaxed atmosphere and so on.
I've gone through the archive as well as added more up to date posts.
Enjoy

A middle aged dork with glasses is sitting on a bus next to their very cool child. She is sporting a red coat and the whims of the city has bestowed some red tinted mood lighting on her face.
You must never forget that anyone who is willing to be a cop is a bastard. Every single one of them. Free Palestine. Bibi can gargle my taint. Trans rights are human rights.

The 11yo wanted to go downtown to explore transit in the city. We took the bus, the subway, and the light rail for no good reason and then came home. Excellent day out.
Hooray for public transit! How lucky to have so many options available to you.
Great pic, great color coordination.
@BennyTheIcepick we just moved here last fall and I’m loving it. Cycling is pretty good everywhere I’ve been, too.

Gonna use this in all my research papers from now on: what a time saving device from looking up for the 1000th time the difference between i.e. and e.g.! Fantastic!
But more importantly *muahahahahaha* this will drive all those peer reviewing grammar pedants absolutely batshit. A hahahahaha! Imagine their comments! HAHAHA

A social media post from user @givemebudlight and a truncated handle reading Deedee megado…
The post from the morning of February 26, 2026, the day the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, reads:
“If they nuke us can they make sure to do it in the morning? I don’t wanna work all fucking day just to come home and get nuked.”

I think this is a processed version of a photo from 2022 - it approximately matches https://apod.nasa.gov/apod...
but with some significant differences.
It’s not from this year, though. The 2026 planetary parade should be in the western sky from Sydney, and this is ostensibly a photo looking east from a boat in front of the MCA and Circular Quay.

@kittons tracked this one down for me a while ago and it finally made its way to me. enjoying this darling little cup with my traditional sunday morning french press*

I'll have to try leaving mine longer and not pressing the screen all the way down. I always end up with sludge in the cup.
I use the method here: https://www.peacecoffee.com/blogs... Added bonus, the coffee guru in the video lives just up the street from me.

@bencmeissner oh nice! it's always so cool to have a local connection like that. i have definitely used some of the peace coffee guides in the past, so feel free to send my kudos!
and i was genuinely surprised at how well this method prevented the silt and sludge. i missed the satisfaction of the full plunge (STILL have the urge to do it every time) but that settling time does wonders (sometimes i do more than 5 minutes, even)

A simple line drawing of a person with a large body and a small head. The person is wearing a hat with a brim. Their head is the blue Mac OS logo: the classic one that looks like a smiling face logo divided into two blue halves. They are carrying a suitcase with an icon of a small compact Mac on it. On the front of their shirt is a minimalist, colorful painting of a compact Mac. For the most part, though, the composition is a canvas-colored tan. This, as some might recognize, is Mr Macintosh, a drawing initially commissioned by Steve Jobs from the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon. He wasn't carrying a System suitcase in the original version, though. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Wow, OS 7 vibes!

youtube post: coffee expert james hoffmann (caucasian, male presenting person with glasses and a david lynch level coif) presents a french press brewing method in a nice kitchen space
per https://mltshp.com/p/1RLE2
a favorite coffee prep method of late (or, rather, a favorite prep method when i have time to be still and enjoy the process).
my brain has been in full anxiety mode, so every sunday morning i start the day by grinding 30 grams of my favorite coffee, boiling up 500 ml of water, and just sitting with the french press in silence for a bit.
addendum:
for those who enjoy coffee, or even just the science around how we make coffee, james hoffmann is a delight. he's always fun, kind, and gentle with his content. he's willing to talk about and try the cheap stuff as well as the hyper-expensive hipster chow; he's always interested in good stuff for everybody. a nice, calming addition to your youtube regimen.

this is seriously news I can use
/full agreement on his demeanor. He has certainly educated me on all things coffee.
The one where he deep-fried the beans instead of roasting them and his attempt to say anything nice about it all was wonderful.

M’kiddo’s first 5k
alt text
A photo of a finisher’s medal from Nashville Zoo’s 20th anniversary ZooRunRun 5k fundraiser race is held in my hand.
The weather was perfect, the course was beautiful, it was well-staffed and so well-organized. A great race.
And freaking miserable.
My boy was maybe (MAYbe) 200ft in when he asked “How long IS this?! Can we stop?”
We then walked the rest of the course, with him crying and whining and fuming and so on.
Mostly I think it was because of the ol’ ADHD facing a big task that feels insurmountable, but in the end he was so proud of himself for finishing (I was proud of him, too, of course!) and has been FaceTiming basically everyone he knows to tell them that he finished his first 5k race. So good job Wesley, and hopefully it will be a long time before I have to do another one with him. 😂

Recently got made redundant so I'm looking for my next gig.
But we're paying rent on the studio plus I've got a bucket load of Fuji Instax so the studio is a nice place to be. Trying to work on a new project.

Pork spare ribs and a small rack of beef ribs. Ribs got six hours. Sausages were from Uli's—uncured bacon (fine) and heavy garlic chicken (excellent)—they got two and were finished in a braise of beer w/ onions.

The St. Louis-based band Man With Rope playing at Off-Broadway
There were (at least) three pretty great local lineups to choose from last night but I opted for the fundraiser for Welcome Neighbor STL, a local immigrant/refugee resource center: https://welcomeneighborstl.org/about
Man With Rope are a new-ish crusty hardcore band that has been making some waves. It's not easy/casual listening but they're pretty great live: https://manwithrope.bandcamp.com/

I am tired of earth
alt text
A barren, reddish-pink landscape under a black, starry sky. It looks like a desert on another planet. In the middle of it is a small mound of rock, with a boulder balanced on top of the rock. The rocky pile casts a dark purple shadow on the flat ground. Sitting on top of the boulder is a blue person, its back to the viewer. It has one hand on the rock and another hand on its knee, and it is staring up at the starry blackness, undoubtedly thinking that it is tired of earth. These people. It is tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
samesies.
One respondent brusquely criticized what I had done in one of my posts and I still can't tell whether they had taken me seriously or it was their way of playing within the fictional space and just awkward.
