Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course? The human subconscious is such an interesting thing. No matter how much you think you’ve got it figured out, it’ll always spit out the most random stuff. Take me, for example. After coming home from a...

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Every day I see a new headline about technocrats selling the surveillance tech to precisely single out and follow individual people, and I’m supposed to believe the bombing of civilians is just a sad, unavoidable reality of war. Everything is a conscious choice, and the choice is murder.

I know Gamergate ushered in the end of the world because my country is murdering schoolgirls and calling it “Operation Epic Fury”

“Grape is a grandfather flavor” - a student, on the topic of juices

The gradient looks so good!

That’s why I keep that thing (Dramamine) on me

a woman in a striped suit is looking up at the sun Alt: Nicole Kidman in a striped suit is looking up at a movie theater screen, backlit by projector lights and having some kind of divine experience with whatever she’s watching

Some people didn’t like Hamnet because they thought it was emotionally manipulative? All movies are emotionally manipulative! Nicole said we come to this AMC Theater to laugh to cry to care!

Hercule Poirot on Hot Ones

Who wants to hire me? I am not a rockstar, I will not hit the ground running, I need TONS of direction but I also hate being told what to do

“[college I teach through] doesn’t have dorms because most of its students are local or non-traditionally aged”
“What does that mean? That they’re old?”
“Yeah.”

Feeling dragged down by the job search. But I did go back to teaching. I heard a kid use “lowkenuinely” and we decided to refer to annotated bibliographies as “Annie bibs”

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

This is like the haunted version of that picture the eye doctor shows right before he puffs air into my eye

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Holy shit! @umactually.bsky.social used my question in the premiere today!!! Thanks @ifycomedy.com and @briamgilbert.bsky.social !

This guy cosplays like he’s gonna go starve outside Stalingrad

I just found a picture of myself from that year and I don’t recognize myself. I look like a completely different person and I don’t think it’s just because I had bangs at the time.

Chief Wiggins tsking Marge who is training to be a cop and admonishing her for not shooting a blind man and a baby

Chuck Schumer says ICE agents need more training

The added training:

2016 was 10 years ago. July of that year was one of the happiest times of my life. I was in Ireland. Trump hadn’t been elected yet. Pokémon Go had just come out and everyone was playing it.

White/western leftist respect Iranians’ agency and sovereignty challenge. Just because we hate isr@el and US interventionism doesn’t mean khamenei should remain in power. Nothing is worth keeping a dictator around. Follow the will of Iranian people who have loved ones they can’t get in touch with.

I’m finna be in The Pitt (HBO, 2 seasons) once again

Finally watched Wake Up Dead Man. I don’t remember a lot of French but “l’eveil appel” can kind of, very roughly, in a distorted way that doesn’t make sense in French syntax, to “wake-up call”

Bombing innocent people for a regime change to steal oil to power machines that will make our planet unlivable. Nothing is worth this.

Anyway anyone want to hire me?

Been sending out my resume to editing and proofreading jobs and just noticed a 9-digit phone number in my fucking references

I don’t deserve a paycheck
