People trying to end the world because the Bible says that Jesus will come when the world ends are going to be mightily surprised if they turn out, against all odds, to be right and Jesus returns and looks them in the eye and is like "yo, what is the ONE THING I asked of you?"

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

Two guys looking at a scooter made out of paper towel rolls and castor wheels. One guy says to the other, “What do we have here?” The other guy replies, “My luxury scooter.” The text reads: Meanwhile, in a time of suspiciously low-cost products being sold online… When you buy online, buy from reputable sellers. If the price seems too good to be true, the product might not be authentic or original, and may be unsafe. If you have a problem with a product or want to return or exchange it, look for the “sold by” information.

The first week of March is National Consumer Protection Week. Buy from reputable sellers when you buy online.

I don’t know why but I have a feeling Trump is going to pass away from a fall or some other common and not suspicious way and the most annoying people in the world are going to turn it into a conspiracy theory for decades

That’s good to hear. I remember when Jujube was convinced she was All Better as soon as her drains came out, and didn’t understand why I wouldn’t let her jump on the bed while she still had stitches all over the place 😂

I think it will turn out to be a spider bite or something, but I’m worried about a blood clot muscle thing like on House.

I’m highly suspicious of cats, but I love them anyway. Like they’re just adorable little guys who are plotting my murder, and I can’t hold it against them.

My psychiatrist agrees I should probably go to the ER.

It was obvious long before that.

Woke up with a weird, super bad pain in my leg. Even my mom thinks it’s concerning, and she’s never concerned about medical stuff. Probably heading to the ER after my psychiatry appointment.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

I am starting to wonder if people who spend a lot of time talking to LLMs lose their stamina for actual critical analysis because they're so used to having their own priors reflected back at them in the guise of another's voice.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

It’s never a good look to say you belong to a group against whom society bears “the last acceptable prejudice”, because a lot of groups have experienced prejudice in the last 24 hours. You just weren’t concerned.

Opened some windows, which I normally never do, cause my Finch app told me to. Jujube is very excited about this situation.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Still not seeing the problem 😂

How???

As much as I love Star Trek: The Next Generation, it took until season three to get really good.

It would have been cancelled before then if it came out in the streaming age. Same thing with The Simpsons, SpongeBob, and other long running shows.

Studios seem to fear long-form TV now.

I was misdiagnosed as bipolar type 1 for YEARS until I started tracking my hormones only to realize all my “symptoms” were just related to my various hormonal phases.
My mania/ hypersexuality= the entire week I’m ovulating
&
My depressive episodes/ crying constantly= the week before my period

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

A good way to demonstrate your unserious nature is arguing that “Kamala would be doing this too.”

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

[insert therapy crap about why you don’t want therapy crap]

I could really do with never hearing about nazi tattoo guy ever again this is not a ‘don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ situation it’s an ‘at baseline could we not support candidates with nazi/rightwing connections’ situation.

Sometimes Jujube unfolds my laundry. I fold it into piles, and she knocks them over.

It sounds like it was named by a middle schooler circa 2010.

All these people with stories about how their dogs only hate people who turn out to be terrible… my dog hates tall men. Idk, she loves everyone else, but if you’re over 6 feet and have a penis, she believes you’re the devil and it’s her moral duty to bark at you.
