You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

There are at least seven deer in my backyard right now, I assume having some sort of conference. I am ready to accept whatever resolutions they pass.

“We’ve got to embrace [thing even supporters admit is entirely reliant on not being required to follow any ethics or laws], but ethically and legally.”

Also his strongest arguments are “oh well, it’s here now” and “people don’t care if we use it.” Neither is a ringing endorsement of demand.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I swear that third photo deserves to be a modern day Hopper painting and I will not be explaining further

“Does my supple Jurassic body not fill you with wonder?”

If being a child star is so stunting that you are automatically disqualified from growing up and having your own opinions as an adult, then surely what JK did was not make them rich but participate in the theft of their futures, something to be condemned for its own sake

And also said abusive husband is aware that she had this affair and has just been humiliated in front of a full theater of people and the literal Queen.

I’m just saying, I’m not sure Viola survived to see a wedding anniversary. But sure, immortalized as the heroine of Twelfth Night. Cool.

Rewatched Shakespeare in Love and let me get this straight:

In the end, Will is a sad boy but has achieved his goal of being “a hired player no longer” and gets to go on being Shakespeare.

Meanwhile Viola is married to an abusive man taking her to a new continent where she knows no one.

I have seen my first labubu in the wild

It was the rapture

Share your favorite black and white movie

Emma Thompson’s commentary on Sense & Sensibility has several writing gems (and many witticisms) that I love

I love commentary tracks so much!

I want to be able to purchase DVDs of some classic 2000s shows with the original music they aired with. The cognitive dissonance of watching scenes I know so well accompanied by the “wrong” song ruins what should be some deep nostalgia therapy.

Much like a theory of Taylor’s version of reputation, anticipation of the rapture has turned out to be premature yet again

I fucking hate writing sometimes. It's like somebody hands you a tree and an axe and says "I need a table by dinner time, and make it pretty." Like, fuck you. Who the fuck does this for a living? It's fucking stupid.

Gird your gourds! ‘Tis officially the motherfucking season.

I don’t understand a designer signing up for Project Runway and then saying, “I don’t respond well to being rushed.”

Much better than a panic at the disco

Still so bemused at the Google AI ad that ends with a guy going to a James Blunt concert while we hear “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman playing around them. Is it trolling, incompetence, or some kind of malicious compliance on the part of someone in marketing?

I sometimes look at my colleagues during meetings and think, “I know you have a cat there somewhere…and you are keeping them from me.”

The croissant thought it could get away with using The Substance a second time, but now look at it.

This week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

I've spent my entire life being told that everything I do is useless, mocked and being told no one should be paid for "underwater basket weaving," and now they're like, "I must steal all the underwater basket weaving lore because it's imperative for my survival"

Eat farts, my dudes.

“Vishing” is apparently voice-based phishing

My annual cybersecurity training at work tells me that “smishing” is text message-based phishing.

But you can’t fool me, I know that’s how Labubus procreate.

Scream-singing along to Garbage in the shower, “When I grow up I’ll be stable,” like a 38-year-old woman who is still waiting

I got one today that thought he was reaching my dad. When I told him he had the wrong number, he said, “I don’t think so,” and proceeded on with his sales pitch. Excuse me?
