This made me happier than anything has in a long time.
Facebook Archive (Page 23)
I created a Facebook account in 2012 but didn’t really post much until 2014. In 2018 I deleted my account (for secret reasons). It was a relief to let it go, but also a little sad. I quickly lost tabs of friends and extended family. Of course we still talk now and again, but I am much less aware of what’s going on in their day to day lives. Nevertheless I’m glad I left.
In an act of unbridled vanity, I have archived all the old posts here.

I’m sitting in a comfy chair by a Starbucks trying to read and people keep yelling my name. It is distracting.

Mars… Link

One day I want to steal someone’s status verbatim and see if they notice.
This is so deliciously nerdy.
This is springing up in my neighborhood. Never been. Heard good things. Should I move now? Will I survive the constant temptation?

My first and last comment on Trump and the far-right xenophobic freakout, which has saddened me more than anything I’ve seen so far in our temporarily divided country:
To my Muslim friends, neighbors, countrymen, and visitors, I love you as my brothers and sisters, as I love christians, jews, sikhs, atheists, agnostics, pastafarians, and everything else. Trump does not represent me, a VAST majority of the people I know, or my country.

Is it too much to ask for a fruit yogurt with fat but no added sugar? Why doesn’t this exist?
I would just like to point out that I read these articles back-to-back.
[ed: Both articles have moved behind a paywall so I updated the links to point to archive.org.]

If trump wins the nomination, when the election rolls around, his advisors are going to inform him that brown Americans can vote and then he’s going to make that dopey skeptical face and lose.
It feels so nice to do my thanksgiving shopping without stress and without rushing on a relatively calm weekday. Sincere gratitude to my employer for mandatory holiday downtime.
My almost-grown-up munchkin Isabel as Tituba in The Crucible at Veritas Prep. And that’s her pal Belle in the back too! These kids are killing it. 🙏🏽

REUSABLE HEADLINE: Twitter does a thing. Twitter users freak out.
Just have to wait for executive supreme sapphire members, snake charmers, and the criminally insane, then it’s MY TURN TO BOARD.
It dawns on me that “American” is a good name for this airline because the policies are ridiculous and everything costs extra.
Brace yourselves. BRILLIANT joke incoming…
We will be masters of genetic engineering when pigs fly.
The older I get the harder it is to tell if someone is dressed up as something I’ve never heard of or just has an interesting sense of style
Next time on GEOFF IS AN IDIOT find out how Geoff nearly blows up his face when he isn’t careful with his charcoal smoker. Will he finish the brisket? Will his hair ever look the same again? Tune in and find out!
It’s a little cloudy out so of course I drove by three accidents on the way home from the airport.
I bet “Office Manager” means something different at Microsoft.

Suddenly I feel safer with Mamie around.
Facebook shares: Where JPEG artifacts have JPEG artifacts. It’s artifacts all the way down.
If Elon Musk terraforms Mars, does he own it? That would be some serious oneupmanship in the billionaires club. An island? I have a planet.
Does Gizmodo still exist? I can’t believe we haven’t had a -gate for the iPhone 6S yet. Somebody’s not doing his job.

Had a delicious vegetarian* chicken curry with peanuts for dinner last night.
* For clarity, the chicken I ate was a vegetarian.
I just heard they’re bringing Hydrox cookies back. In related news, apparently Hydrox cookies were previously discontinued. #teamOreo
Good reading for people considering downloading copies of compilers hosted by untrusted Chinese web sites.

Thinking of investing in VW. Is it wrong to bet on our inability to effectively punish corporations when they misbehave?

Also I love the new San Francisco system font. More readable at even smaller sizes, a little more airy maybe, and a touch more modern. 💯
