You're trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you?

Every day I get a post about the weather at a raspberry pi weather station in Cambodia

I do not follow the account

The account doesn’t follow me

It’s oddly reassuring

Also, maybe I should go to Cambodia?

People living in a country colonized by religious zealots and corporations seem oddly confused about how we got here 🤔

One time during an interview I was asked to give my elevator pitch

When I was done, the hiring manager took a beat and said “tall building”

Text saying: laurelhach [tumblr username] using microsoft word *moves an image a mm to the left* all text and images shift. four new pages appear. paragraph breaks form a union. a swarm of commas buzzed at the window. in the distance, sirens.”

Was just chuckling about one of my favorite memes/clichés - “in the distance, sirens” - and as it turns out TODAY is the 10th anniversary of the original Tumblr post

Wherever you are, Laurelhach, may your formatting be flawless, you absolute internet legend 👑

The NBA is so unserious to me

What do you mean the absolute worst team in the league scored 97, 130, and 104 points in their last 3 games?

The worst team

Put in a goalie 🙄

4am?

Really?

Brains are stupid

LPs that are 45rpm annoy me

Soon Trump is going to realize he started a whole shitstorm he doesn’t understand and that there’s no real way to just walk away (because he’s a fucking idiot)

As more Americans (and schoolchildren) die, his support will drop, and he’ll be so fucking pissed at everyone who should have stopped him

Golly and gosh, who could have seen that coming?

Deep cut

Nonsense email from Google telling me that: “We’re writing to let you know that Cloud Observability has launched a new OpenTelemetry (OTel) ingestion API that supports native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) logs, trace spans, and metrics. Starting March 30, 2026, this API will be added as a dependency for the current Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, and Cloud Monitoring ingestion APIs. This change ensures a seamless transition as collection tools migrate to this new unified endpoint.” As if that nonsense makes any fucking sense and basically Skynet is taking over my Google account and I can follow some bullshit instructions to maybe turn it off? Lolz

Imagine working at Google and thinking this message makes any sense at all to normal end-users:

Slowing things down with Laufey’s debut album Everything I Know About Love

#NowSpinning on #vinyl

Really dig her ever-so-slightly restrained phrasing. Plus, bossanova vibes 😎

I would do anything for love…
But I won’t do that (go glove side on a goalie known for a weak blocker)

She may be 🥔

But we all love 🥔🥔🥔

*a soccer post*

We killed 150 schoolgirls

How have I, avowed soccer knower, never heard of the Fallon D’Floor award for flopping?

I am aghast

Seeing this post Monday morning and knowing EXACTLY what it’s referring to

too real

Sorry

A 3 person leadership council stepped in after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed...

I know things are bad but THE DOW IS AT $48,000 SO HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES??

The top of the picture is the album cover for Madness Hit Parade, a very exuberant design listing the songs and with lots of pictures of the band. It’s very joyful. At bottom is the grey LP playing on an audio-technical record player 🤘😎🤘

I don’t usually go for compilations, but this really hits

#NowSpinning Madness Hit Parade on #vinyl

The live version of Our House with the audience singing along is excellent fun - can’t go wrong with Madness
🤘😎🤘

While the market is down, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics are all up in pre-market trading

Not even going to mention the oil companies and Halliburton

I for one am shocked 😐
