my brain: hey
my brain: hey listen up
me: what?
my brain: how come there's not a DJ named "TJ Waxx"
me: because it's stupid, that's why
my brain: hahaha you should post that shit
me: no! it's not even good
my brain: yeah that's the point
me: hmm. one sec (opening a web browser)
me: oof, actually, there is one reference to the concept of a DJ named "TJ Waxx" and it's on the official TJ Maxx Threads account
my brain: ...
me: so you're exactly as funny as the social media team for TJ Maxx

Natalie's post A Sociable Web is a fantastic outline of what's happening on the web, in a small way and with references to the larger state of things on established "platforms", and I want to shove it in everyone's faces and make them read it.

I don't consider myself to be fully participating in its "sociable" ideals yet—perhaps obviously, since this is a manual post with a single hyperlink and not a "quote post" or whatever. For whatever it might say about me, I've automated/smoothed out the "performance" part of all of this first and have to be more manual and intentional about the social connection bits.

But! I am really looking forward to moving closer and closer to it and it's nice to have a thing to point at when I'm trying to explain to people what I'm spending time thinking about and working on lately instead of just a mess of ideas, ambitious and achievable, that exists in my head and partially implemented on my own domain.

when I was a kid I thought the line in the Beastie Boys’ “Sure Shot” was

I've got more action than my man John Woo
And I've got mad hits like I was Rockeroo

I don’t know who I thought Rockeroo was—some kind of cartoon kangaroo rock star, perhaps

every time I wonder why I haven't played so many cool games this year I remember that I've probably put >100 hours each into final fantasy xiv, hearthstone, balatro, and watching balatro videos on youtube. it doesn't make me feel better but it does change it from being an x-files-style mystery into just an episode of hoarders

playing the hi hat on every 16th note is the "red deck wins" of music production
