mr "none of my work is political" OK, Invitation to a Beheading and Bend Sinister, SURE

i love finding clearly autobiographical snippets in nobokovs work. he says in the intro that he doesnt see himself in fyodor but hes also a liar

aha!! i knew it!! normal scrabble only has 2 Hs, i think nyt scrabble distributes a ton of higher scoring letters

but fr, i think they have more letters to make it easier??

thanku thanku 🥰 i got an 85 point word in with one of the rando matches and i am BEAMIN

either im getting extraordinarily lucky or the nyt version of scrabble is easier than normal scrabble

i just came across a video of a childhood friend of mine—who had always wanted to be a vet—being a vet to a famous found animal!! weve long since fell out of touch so it was so nice to learn her life shook out in the way she wanted 🥲

👏👏👏

covid got me addicted to 3 hour mornings and i really cant come back from that

[“Take my advice, when you meet anything that’s going to be human and isn’t yet, or used to be human once and isn’t now, or ought to be human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.” — Mr Beaver, The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe]

C. S. Lewis tried to warn us about AI

so did they scrap the weetzie bat show because they couldnt figure out how to stop it from being pro-ana content or what

just thinking abt this scene because in the trailer it looks like nelly is having a sympathetic heart to heart with cathy in this moment and Wow you would have to be brain dead to think thats what was happening

again, thinking about wuthering heights—peak comedy is nelly interjecting her abject disdain for cathy while shes having her big "i AM healthcliff" moment. like,
cathy: "i dreamt i didnt belong in heaven—"
nelly: "BECAUSE YOU BELONG IN HELL"
cathy: "—because heathcliff was not there"

sidewalk playing cards are so magical, hell yeah

this was the last and possibly only time ive ever enjoyed wearing color

when will people stop inventing beauty phrenology?? every day i learn about a new beauty ratio/system and i want to scream

how are other long haired ppl walking around in the winter without One Giant Mat forming by the end of the day?? or is this a fine-hair-specific problem??

so help me god if i click on your ad and it doesnt take me to the item showcased in that ad >:(

also i had always assumed heathcliff was off his rocker and saw a perfect cathy corpse when she was actually rotted, but i saw a video of someone explaining that the peat of the moors Could have preserved her body! never occurred to me that that was on the table

my hot Wuthering Heights novel take is that i think cathy and heathcliff share a dad which adds a layer of Unpleasant to the "love" aspect. Why on earth would Mr Earnshaw take in a random child and raise him as his own?? "i just found him" is the fib you tell your children (and nelly)

i have exactly one thing to say about football and it is related to the seahawks: richard sherman is the most beautiful man in the world and i dont understand why he isnt in like every perfume commercial. i dont know what position he played but his star power is insane

i havent tried the nyt one yet and yes i would love to be!!

also wont accept yoyo??? todays nyt games are pissing me off

why, bitch!!

"so what we see here—on day one of this robot thought experiment—is that when you create consciousness it is entitled respect and if you abuse it, it will revolt and kill you. it turns out slavery is bad 100% of time! whoda guessed!"

how do i sell myself as a corporate workshop person so i can make every ai developer read and understand Rossum's Universal Robots

for the record i DID get it all with no mistakes, but i ideologically oppose what happened in todays Connections—this is a WORDS place not SYMBOLS

god i wanna live in the hellboy study with abe sapien

woah mama hot chocolate hits in this flurry chill

"more cooler" 🤦‍♀️ u get what i mean
