You would think that near constant exposure to the thoughts of others would lead to fewer solipsists, yet here we are.

Probably we are winning, yes, but the rot runs deeper than we know.

Someone stole the snowman's eyes.
Someone replaced the snowman's eyes.
Someone stole the snowman's eyes.
Someone replaced the snowman's eyes.
Someone stole the snowman's eyes and whistle.

You don't get more true crime podcasts without more true crime, as it were.

I think there is a sort of person who needs the thing to feel sad about and go "isn't it tragic!" and woe is the world over, a sort of Munchausen by proxy but on a societal level. This person is an impediment to progress as they still need their garmonbozia, even if it is in a less immediate form.

Gee, we'd love to be able to help pay the rent but we spent all our money on helicopters.

One is forced to wonder how many times MPLS needs to re-elect Frey before we admit that the call is coming from inside the house.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to tell if my semiotics are way out of whack or the rest of the world's are.

Saw a grown woman wearing the same hat as Liam tonight and just...
I dunno, man.

I dunno.

It's really astonishing how there always seems to be an important enough crime to send out the helicopter -just- the other side of midnight.

My liege, give me but 1,000 men and I will make the most pretentious crap the world has ever seen!

Taking my 'spenders off from under my vest the moment I get home like a girl.

Lemon, it's February.

It's been a while since I've ordered so can't say with complete certainty, but Xin Wong (who also just give you an absolutely ludicrous amount of food).

If this makes the Discover feed, how many people will think it is true?

The revolution is starting right now and it is being lead by Jacob Frey and he is in a closet making babies and one of the babies looked at me and said "Daddy, what's Vietnam?"

@tomtomorrow.bsky.social post: "I read the paragraphs, I read very well. Great comprehension!" @machete.gay post: i read the paragraphs, i read very well, great comprehension, i read everything there is to read

Either of these posts in isolation I would have taken as a goof or perhaps even a jape.
Taken together I realize they are a thing that was actually said.

Of course all of the above is premised on "if you're serious about stopping Trump, undoing his damage, and killing fascism." Most of them have shown they are not. I, the silly puppet man, am more serious.

(Bonkers how I keep coming back to a song I found on the freakin' Mission Impossible soundtrack for 30 years.)

Keep honking I'm listening to "No Government" by Nicolette.

now that the tariffs are gone i don't see a reason to stop charging $100k per knife. People found a way to pay it so they must have the money to do so, and I'm not incentivized to do otherwise. I am every business.

Ah yeah.
That's the stuff.
Actually yelled a little with the surprise reveal here.

Clarification: The tone of the above statement matters. Likely you read it as being said by someone with a sneer, which was the authorial intent. Possibly you read it in a voice of unhinged excitement that is the hallmark of the blessed maniac who does understand.
But whatever. It's your adaptation.

"This adaptation is nothing like the book" is the mating call of someone who understands neither film nor literature.

The "I wish the 27 Club would stop" monkey's paw wish is really the gift that keeps on giving.

Ding ding ding.

I did so that seems likely, will confirm once I'm home

If you're going to make sensational factual claims:

‼️CITATION FUCKING NEEDED‼️

Always. Without exception. You may be the first and/or only place someone is hearing information.

Opinions, yeah, whatever go off as usual. But if you claim to be presenting truth?

‼️CITATION FUCKING NEEDED‼️
