I know! 😂😭that’s why I mentioned it.

Quick everyone go watch The Libertine now

If they can’t get us to riot to justify martial law, they’re going to do this I guess. I wonder if he got a bonus for being the one willing to take a beating for the cause.

I mean kids are wearing decorative facial patches and we’re about to also find out what it’s like for everyone to have the pox of one sort or another so yeah. Wonder when the first occurrence of syphilis related madness will hit post-Planned Parenthood defunding.

I am told that in moments like this, the Ba snaps free of the vessel early. A mercy. I hope I never have to find out if it’s true.

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Dear photo app developers. Our cat died a year ago. Please stop sending me daily reminders of “cuddles and purrs” three years ago.

Ah yes. The company that removed tables and chairs to make stores more efficient. Uh huh. Pickup only orders were the problem. Sure.

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

The doctor says I have high cholesterol so I have fired the head of the lab that processed my bloodwork as they are clearly rigging the numbers to make me look bad.

I think in 10 years media literacy and online safety will be like sex ed: *not* teaching it to your kids in proactive, age-appropriate ways starting at a younger age than you might otherwise want to will leave them gullible, vulnerable and unprepared for the adult world they will be stepping into

Good lord you really do embody and surpass the circular firing squad of Bay Area politics when aimed at your own host city. When do we start calling it the Tiburon Tattler?

I just wish weird psychosexual obsessions functioned the way they used to. 19th century weirdos aiming to end masturbation made us both a breakfast cereal and a tasty cracker. That NEVER happens today. Nobody tries to criminalize IUDs and accidentally invents a new kind of Milano.

A writer waits a lifetime for a moment like this.

Researching the people who lived behind our house around the time it was built, I found they lost four children in September of 1876, three between the 2nd and 22nd and fourth without a date but in September. I cannot fathom the loss.

So incredibly disappointed they keep playing this.

YouTube video by Benn Jordan I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
