I think my life's main quest is not for cosmic answers, not for validation, not for love, not for fame, wealth, or importance, but rather to find a re ally good chair.

Dog as my witness, I aim to come up with the perfect vegetarian Timballo alla Teramano recipe even if it takes a decade of trying, because oh my gosh I love Timballo Teramano so much.

I dislike "premium" as a marketing term, which is always a sign that they're marketing to the dumbest consumers among us.

Something I value about having spent most of my life with a low income is that I can never forget how stacked the system is against anyone who's not well off—we are penalized for not having money, punished for not having money, and kept behind a well-cultivated barrier between us and ever moving up. My personal fortunes have improved, but I will always know what I know, and that's that Western culture is tilted to the rich. Fuck 'em all.

What keeps me from veering from grumpiness about my species to outright nihilism, even when an awful lot of people seem to make dumb choices, is that it's not the fault of our individual lives that evolution built us to be riddled with security flaws in how we process the world around us, so bad ideas can easily infect us. You can't fault a toddler for failing calculus, and you have to let us off the hook for engineering mistakes. #misanthropy #proanthropy #forgiveness #longview #deeptime

I don't care how much better and more modern your dancing is—Cats is still a stupid, stupid, dreary musical by the biggest schlockmonger in musical theater.

My big problem with music fora, gearhead fora, and seemingly every other kind of enthusiast community lately is that they're all about what to buy, and not how to get more out of what you've already got. #synthfluencers #gearheads #everyoneasalesman

I love my dentist and endodontist, but my inability to ever be numbed by any amount of anaesthesia in my molars short-circuited my dentist visit today and I'm mad at fish for inventing nerves in teeth. ARGH.
