2000: Welcome to our shitty animated flash site for our restaurant. The hours will be baked into the flash so good luck if we ever change them

2010: Welcome to our shitty broken web site for our restaurant, here's a blurry, super-compressed scan of the cover of our menu

2020: Welcome to our shitty facebook page for our restaurant, we had a tech savvy young server set it up for us but then she quit so we can never update it again

Me, signing up for Spotify: "This will be great, I need to stop listening to the same old stuff all the time and get into some new music"

Spotify: "Here's an endless playlist of Sugar, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Archers of Loaf, etc"

Me: "fuCK"

My heart was never in it like that, so I bailed. But it's interesting to ponder what I'd be up to now if I had stuck with it, and I get pangs sometimes listening to Adam Savage's podcast. But this goofy robot suit is definitely the thing I brag on at parties. 5/5

So 22-23 years ago I was working at a practical special effects shop in North Hollywood, and we got subcontracted to build this robot drone suit for this episode of DS9. I did maybe 80% of the fabrication and decoration, with a more experienced guy putting the finishing touches on it. 1/5

me, binge watching VHS tapes of Kids in the Hall 25 years ago 🤣🤣🤣

me, now feeling personally attacked 😭😭😭

Not sure there's ever been a more perfect television score than Angelo Badalamenti's music for Twin Peaks.

Me, scrolling past every recipe blogger's 20,000 words of bullshit and ads to get to their 3 line recipe

Warm visuals can be accomplished with very little in the way of CSS, but there seems to be this unshakeable infatuation with package managers and frameworks (and then shiny new ones when people get bored with the old ones) that adds so much pointless overhead.

#PSA: During the late unpleasantness I saw a lot of people saying stuff like "If only there were a way I could block specific words or phrases from my timelines... you know, like a filter!"

There *is*. It's under Preferences > Filters, and it will make your life better.
