TBF that sounds exactly like something they’d do.

Privacy obscures what was sent but not who sent it. Anonymity obscures who sent something but not what was sent. Always good to know/remember the difference.

I finally wrapped my head around it this way: Imagine a pea. Now imagine a billion peas. That’s how many a billion is.

One of my favorite part of the Winter Olympics is a whole new set of people coming to the game, enjoying the pageantry, being introduced to new sports, and then freaking out over the existence of doubles luge.

It’s ultimately the smaller things. I’ve had so many happy memories at the Kennedy Center. And if they manage to steal the space shuttle from Udvar Hazy, I will be in there bawling my eyes out.

Screenshot of text: “Realizing the zoo is about to close, but you are all the way at Amazonia with two children and a stroller, and you took the metro here.”

The way this one made my legs hurt just reading it.

Sylar from Heroes could steal the powers of other superheroes. Does this make him a Roguelike?

Screenshot from Spotify Wrapped that reads “Your listening age 83. Since you were into music from the Late 50s. There’s history in your headphones.”

Anyone beat my high score?

I see occasional posts by right wing grifters that start with “in a world of Ms Rachels” and where the hell can I find such an absolute utopia as a world of Ms Rachels?

Remember last year when Netflix released a Christmas romance where one of the main characters straight up died in police custody?

Last year for Thanksgiving I decided to go out and shoot my own turkey. This is why I’m no longer allowed in Aldi.

If you liked GdT’s Frankenstein but haven’t seen Crimson Peak…see Crimson Peak.

If like me you were worried about the 2.5 hour run time on GdT’s Frankenstein, I can say without spoilers there’s a perfect breaking point 90 minutes in that will be very obvious when you get to it.

Rewatching the original Willy Wonka and no scene has aged better than the guy who creates the computer to tell him where the tickets are. Cause folks would absolutely be asking ChatGPT that shit.

Today there’s a parade through the neighborhood. Planning to take my young boy so he can see the marching band. Wondering if he’s too young for the burden of being the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned.
