Today was one of those days where your filter malfunctions such that you only manage to say the quiet parts outloud all day and piss off everyone you talk to.

I used to do audio/lighting/video for live events and it was a zoo fundraiser with Jack Hannah. They also had penguins!

I once had to mic a snow leopard, can confirm they purr. It’s the kind of purr that makes the hair stand up on your arms and your reptile brain go “danger!”

Whips and table flipping is never off the table.

Unfortunately I can still be held responsible for beating my husband with a pillow when the 5 other devices that make noise in the house go off at 1 am because he has the volume turned all the way up.

This used to happen to me in school all the time but I knew the material, I was just crap at exams. Fortunately, my grad program was mostly project and research paper based, otherwise I'd have probably flunked out.

Where is DOGE when you need them to do their jerbs? If the old apartheid parasite puts up a tip line I’m calling it every time I have to pay for a golf trip.

Real shame indeed.

Teen Vogue back at it.

Hey now, we don’t need botc to mirror reality, that’s the escape mechanism 😭

CoD5 was an excellent game if you like those types of shooters.

I wish my preschooler understood Latin jokes lol.

Did you take high school Latin? I remember the classroom and the Latin quiz team but I can’t remember who did that except the twins.

I have been known to grab a couple of the small carts and push 2-3 of them back to the entrance if I notice the cart people are struggling. If the big carts are all gone from the entrance, the Kroger employees are on their own.

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation.

--clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material

--don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it

--BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

I use detrumpify on Firefox and it gives me puppies instead for lots of stuff.

You can 100% donate to the orgs that do this work all the time to fund that mission. If it’s not safe for you to be standing in public with a placard, you don’t have to. Quiet resistance is still resistance.

One author that really nails it is Jason Pargin. His stories are absolutely crazy but the characters are usually some random person you have to wait behind at the convenience store because they’re busy buying lottery scratchers.

In my experience, the radio is the only thing functional on a lot of shitboxes. Not a nice one but loud!=nice.

No way, he cheated at a race. Calypso on the other hand..

57, and mostly because I tried pretty close to every game made for the ps2.
