“Omg I love that you’ve specifically put sunscreen on your knuckles to keep them all white while you drive thru unanticipated snow, uphill!”

This is the dystopian future. I’m certain a weather forecast somehow somewhere could have warned me that there was a chance I’d drive home in a GODDAMN BLIZZARD but no.

To say nothing of all the old people who can’t get past a terminal command

Lying in bed trying to doomscroll with my right hand while offsetting* that by petting my dog with my left hand. My right thumb is currently bandaided so phone usage is now a two handed endeavor, thus depriving my dog of pets. Who is worse off, me or her?

*that’s how that works, right?

i hereby declare we no longer react to trump's rambling press conferences until something definitive happens

Thank you for reminding me about The Wager, I’d forgotten about that one! David Grann is such a great writer. I second a lot of the book recommendations above, and have one more to add: Over the Edge of the World, Laurence Bergreen’s book about Magellan.

The Era of Finance CEOs Running Retailers Is Over What do the spectacular turnarounds at Abercrombie and Barnes & Noble have in common? Merchants are leading the companies.

New Buying Power out today! After 15 years of making their stores worse and alienating customers, American retailers are starting to realize that hiring bankers and consultants to run them maybe wasn’t the best idea. 🎁 Gift Link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I need to do what I can to not doomscroll. But should I doomscroll, I need to stop when I come across one of your posts, because the probability of coming across something better/more positive in a the next five minutes (because it’s always “but just for like a few minutes”) is very very low. ❤️

in order to restore our company’s masculine dominance we have decided to pander to every male authority figure and do whatever pleases them

Why, Nextdoor, you’ve done it again!

Context free I thought this was just a really dark take on the fires in LA and was simultaneously affronted but also grudgingly having to concede the point

Global warming ahem climate change was JUST SAYING that it would be so much easier to fuck things up if there were holes for ventilation.

Oh are you referring to “the yutes”?

For real I’m not even that mad that Elon bought Twitter and ruined it because rich people gonna rich, but the fallout is that most of my childhood is literally on fire and I want to go read some innocuous dumb tweets for like five minutes and that FUCKER took that away

Car brain is way more pervasive than previously thought: at a car free cycling event in LA called Ciclavia, as a person walking though a crowded intersection where all cyclists were supposed to dismount and walk, I got fucking honked and yelled at for being in the way by a 17 year old girl

The worst posts I saw (so far!) alleged that fire hydrants went dry because city personnel CHOSE not to allow them to be refilled. “Refused to allow more water” they said.

A holes.

Well I had big plans to like drink less or whatever in January but my entire hometown burning is kinda throwing a wrench in that

I use it all the time, it’s a great place to keep recipes I want in the rotation because I know I’ll be able to find them again! (Used it for the butternut squash soup recipe I made tonight, as it happens!)

I love that recipe, we often make a big thing of Roberto the soup!

Tfw you open the DoorDash app just cuz you need a li’l reminder of your address details

Brought home leftover ham from Easter brunch so dinner tonight was croque monsieurs. We had just enough fancy bread to each get one little slice (ok I got the bigger one) the size of my palm.

This is like burrito-level food coma, how the eff do French people function

I really like the feature where iPhones will rotate through your photos as lock screen wallpaper but since there’s no way you can get to the actual photo in question easily I’ve started screenshotting my own lock screen?

I go on vacation starting Friday but like… you gotta ease in, right? That’s why I’m starting practicing TONIGHT

We have a “smart” home heating system and I hate this thing with the fire of a thousand suns because all I want is to turn it the fuck on for like five minutes and then off again and that shit just is not possible via this stupid app
