For my neurotypical folks, you should know "open invitations" are fucking kryptonite to many autistics. "You can come over whenever" -- I sleep when most people are awake. Is 2AM okay? How long is appropriate to stay? Should I bring anything? Why the fuck would you do this to me? Do you hate me?

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Attention: Febreze Air “Dunkin Cinnamon Roll” does not smell like cinnamon rolls, or even cinnamon. It smells like some floral scent product. Please make a note of this.

Went to the convenience store / gas station to grab an emergency Hot Pocket. They had none. What is this world coming to. Had to settle for Stouffer’s French Bread pizzas (now made by being rubbed against a piece of pepperoni).

First look at Charlie Brooker’s ‘BLACKMERE’. The crime thriller follows a tormented detective hunting a ritualistic serial killer before more victims are claimed. Coming to Netflix in early 2027. #Blackmere #CharlieBrooker #Netflix

...which can only mean one thing. Yes! It’s time for me to remind you that Stonehenge is, in fact, a giant vulva made of rocks. Obviously

Incidentally, if you think there was a lot of silly digression in this, while I was researching genitals and symbolism, I came across 2003’s Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (vol.96, fact fans), which suggests that Stonehenge is a great big fanny, and its altar a massive sandstone clitoris

Apple’s constant annoying full screen ads on The Guardian website are pissing me the fuck off. I’m never going to watch Slow Horses, Apple, fuck you. Every Fucking Article

Somehow this bluesky post now has a date of transmission (29th October) and official artwork.

I found some old notes for an rpg game using the characters and objects from Cluedo for Call of Cthulhu, where you start on the basic board but it gets weirder and more cosmic horror the further out the players go (randomly generated). Cthudo!

How odd. The BBC World Service program Newshour’s September 9 episode, titled “UK Hits Back On Israeli Sanctions Criticism” is… 1 minute long as provided on the website. (I did find an unexpurgated copy at a BBC Sounds page, presumably forgotten. It’s 49 minutes there.)

I have to wonder what the Mercers have been doing since Cambridge Analytica. They've been very quiet.

Half of them are chain letters.

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists

If it wasn’t for Hegseth’s ever-present wife keeping tabs on him he’d have no tabs at all.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)

it really should be a bigger story that Karen Bass enthusiastically supports the cult of Scientology

I saw this on Facebook, and I feel like it's a joke made for like ten people. I am, however, one of those people, and I love it.

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.
