Just a girl being a little sad that she's never heard Dvořák's String Quartet No. 6 in A minor, B. 40 Op. 12 performed live :( #christmaswish

Too often, people who say "I hate small talk" and "I need authentic, deep conversation" really mean "I will drone on relentlessly about whatever I like and never ask you a question or allow you to contribute"

Talking to yourself to organize your thoughts: tried and true. Reliable. Free. No environmental costs

Talking to ai for it: insane. Unreliable. How cancerous ideas enter the body. Boils the oceans. Your data will be sold to targeted advertisers. Immoral.

of course everything fits perfectly due to magic; key part of the game

in my mind, to be clear (no disrobing people)

sometimes I play clothing games on the train where I (casually, no staring) assemble a whole cool outfit from what other people are wearing. Let's see, I want her coat but that girl's boots and hmmm, that bag is cool too

RFK Jr on his fishing trip: a cooler full of jerky. No sunscreen in sight. He stops at a gas station and purchases a "supplement" where the package has an AI-generated picture of a wolf with abs.

They? You! Wow what leadership

STFU and die. You can do it, sir. Sir, you'll have the biggest strongest funeral ever sir.

pfft, no

What's hurting my brain (but what will probably be a good thing in the long run) is that these assholes could be quietly racist, quietly fascist, and make secret moves to ruin everything, but they'd rather make a big messy toilet splash with memes and insults. Hearts and minds it is not.

Boundary of the day: the O'Brien-Fleming boundary

I'm on it. Although if I start watching skate videos I probably won't get much work done

none here either.

Markov model sentence of the day: "Death is an absorbing state because dead patients have probability 1 that they remain dead."

The donuts friend was also like "what" because her usage existed only in the plural: "we were whipping shitties"

The train did not turn around

that sounds cool, I might try that one too

My dad says that too!

I used "whip a shitty" to refer to making a U-turn; friend protested that phrase meant specifically doing donuts. Third friend is not from Midwest and thought we were both nuts.

Reentry was rough, so I made a fancy mac and cheese (caramelized onions, Gruyere, roasted broccoli, garlic bread crumbs) and put that bitch in the oven. Fix me, mac and cheese

Four weeks until my birthday (the reason for the season)

Will somebody please teach these cats that they don't have to follow me all over the house? #iloveyoutoo #however

oh no I tripped and dropped a whole sausage in front of this sweet hungry baby man
