Confession: I never once saw whatever you’re supposed to see in those Magic Eye pictures.

The protest was peaceful. The community was not. This was never about a walkout. This should be a story about kids organizing a protest. This should have been a First Amendment story. Or a school safety story. This could have been about students who are passionate about immigratio...

“…is there not something to be valued in a group of teenagers who are so deeply invested in a cause that they will go against the majority to support it?” trojaneer.com/13076/opinio...

TikTak: Same as TikTok except you can only do dances that burn exactly 1.5 calories.

It’s astounding to think of how many time I have risked my life to drive to work in weather like this. Sometimes to do work I could have done from home. Other times because not going meant not paying bills.

@nbcsnl.bsky.social, give Jane Wickline more to do.

I’ve taken somewhat of a natural hiatus from social media due to toxic overload and other factors. Now might not be a great time to pick up again, but I’m slowly easing back into dropping more unapologetic hot takes. My next post will be one of those.

Update: Now it’s shifted to security cam of pets saving babies from earthquakes and sometimes bears?

Facebook really thinks I’m interested in zit popping videos with, for some reason, coffee-themed graphics in the background and a soundtrack of birds chirping. To be fair, I’m not NOT interested…

Social life in your 40s is just clicking “interested” on a bunch of events on Facebook that friends I haven’t seen in years also click “interested” on, but none of us actually go. We just know what interests whom and we can go “yeah that seems like Sarah’s thing,” because they’re all named Sarah.

So many hours wasted playing MASH and I still don’t have a mansion or a limo and I’m not married to Elijah Wood

Usually when there’s a hook on the back of a bathroom door it’s either a guy with a long nose or a boxing octopus.

Always make sure the cat has a full charge.

Young people today: TikTok trends.
Us as young people: Bohemian Rhapsody in the car.

I haven’t been socialing much lately. It just doesn’t seem that important. But I just came to say I have Bloody Sunday stuck in my head, but specifically the George W. Bush version.

Pro tip: If you don’t have or can’t find a back scratcher, try the bottom of a toothpaste tube.

If I’m willing to watch an ad rather than pay a few bucks for extra Candy Crush lives… does it really make sense that said ad is for a Lexus?

Thanks, Facebook, for reminding me that this angel is now missing in my life! 😭

Facebook: A list of people who are dying of horrible diseases or have information that someone I know died.
Twitter: A list of national brands being super weird.
Instagram: A list of people selling things I don’t want.
Nextdoor: A list of walk-in shower ads.
Bluesky: Oh crap, am I old?

There’s so much I could be using my brain for right now, perhaps to better the world. Instead, I’m staring at the ceiling and singing the “Gator Golf” jingle.

Put some mustard on that slaw dog. Here's what happened at the first Oscar Mayer Wienie 500 Now we know who's top dog of all the Wienermobiles.

Always good to get paid to pun. www.indystar.com/story/entert...

Does anyone else remember when birth control only came in pink compacts? Because if you don’t want to make babies, SOMETHING overtly feminine HAD to be thrust upon you!

I’m sore because I moved three boxes to the garage yesterday without stretching. Enjoy your 40s, kids!

It’s weird that I didn’t lose my phones completely before you could track it, when there weren’t smartphones. I still have all those phones in a closet and know right where they are but have lost my current phone three times today.

I thought this was my cat being weird behind me in my camera view… turns out it’s a stuffed red panda.

The gamer guy episode of Black Mirror made me want to play Sims again… maybe I didn’t pay enough attention.

Drive / drove.
Arrive / for some reason not arrove.

People need to quit making nearly 2-hour season finales… I’ve been up way past my bedtime the past couple of nights!
