Look at that beautiful Manchu script, damn.

The world needs more vertical scripts again.

I support.

Hey, friends. Don’t be the pissy neighbor this year that gets bitchy when someone builds a sukkah.

You doing OK?

“Almost” seems like a very important word there!

Tortoises are horny mofos and they will hump each other and objects quite a lot. Mine used to really like my shoes and so I had to not leave them out when we let him walk around the house.

Once I was on the phone with someone who noticed I didn’t have a French accent and so said she would transfer me to someone who spoke English and after ten minutes of waiting, that person also didn’t speak English but did understand my French better but couldn’t help.

Maybe it’s a good sign to start a project! Is there anything you have really wanted to create?

Very important! Look out for health misinformation!

I think it’s less being worried about people with celiac making the mistake and more about people who want to serve them food or who are presenting things in a restaurant or whatever. I have a celiac sister and usually it’s misconceptions by others that get her.

Yeah, that’s what my tortoise used to do when he was having a particularly good time.

Honestly bumper stickers are such an interesting phenomenon. On one hand, they represent individual views. On the other, they represent a sales and design team identifying a market group to commodify the sentiments of. It’s the meeting point of the individual and systems in a visible way.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense… Hopefully you can replicate some of those if you make an app switch.

Hey, a lot of us are depressed right now and I know it can unfortunately be contagious.

Maybe if you’re like me and you’re kinda mad at the world, we can still try to post happy and curious things from time to time despite it. It could break someone else’s doomscroll spiral.

High-speed cameras couldn’t film the scenes they wanted properly so they had to rely on CGI they didn’t plan for to portray the Flash.

Honestly, I know Google is absolutely not a great parent company, but YouTube serves me perfectly fine as a primary music app and I’ve never needed anything else.

Truly one of the all-time top memes.

Thanks. I think I’m in the character-growth part of the story. The plot is heating up. I gotta 1) fix my computer, 2) get the visa system to notice me at least long enough to get me another prolongation document, and 3) impress someone at a museum or elsewhere for a new job. Side quests too.

I have visa problems, am set to run out of money soon, and have computer issues and these things are working together to be a pretty hard dragon to slay.

Somehow I’ll do it though. Putting a little work in every day. I’ll figure things out.

Being a child named Jacob (top US boy name of 1997) born in the late ‘90s meant being subjected to this song being lobbed at me by various adults and other children who noticed my name was in it and could not anticipate that that may have been pointed out to me before.

You emit such an intoxicating confidence because you know every moment that you have mastered the aesthetic you aspire towards.

French government quits just hours after being appointed, deepening political crisis France's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, barely 14 hours after appointing his new cabinet, after allies and foes alike threatened to topple his government, driving French stocks and the euro sharply lower.

Epic 14-hour prime minister resignation speedrun.

I’m pretty excited for my Egypt trip in December as you can imagine.

I wish you no second depression. 🙏

Frankly if you think the ongoing invasion of US cities is primarily serving as a “distraction” from the Epstein files, you just don’t have a grasp on reality. Did you just not pay attention to an entire campaign boasting about doing exactly this with ICE? They’re doing as they threatened; grow up.

Photo of my computer screen. A Newsweek article thumbnail says “Scientists finally reveal why women live longer than men” and the image displays two olive baboons looking at the camera.

O, shit, men are being wiped out by baboons!

I go back and forth on whether I think the internet creates those people or if they just exist already and it’s a space they reveal themselves. I think it’s both.

If it calls, it calls.

Yay!
