My version of the shopping cart theory is how people put their carry-ons in the overhead bin.

finally got around to listening/watching the new Weeknd Hong Kong song and phew i'm verklempt (i welled up). was just there after last christmas and was thinking about going back this coming spring but changed plans but now i might need to change them back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBhL...

why no, it is not too early to listen to christmas music, thanks for asking

the way alexander likes the lights in the house it's like a goddamn hollister store. (i showed him a video of what one looked like -- and the absurdity of it all -- but he remains steadfast)

So that happened…

gmail needs to stop putting class action notifications in spam.

i just want to express my concern that two people i met last week (in their 20s/30s) -- ENGLISH PEOPLE, FROM ENGLAND LIVING IN ENGLAND -- had never heard of Keeping Up Appearances.

Trying my first British Chinese (“a Chinese”) and…it’s amazing?!

One of my favorite local restaurants got an AI slop sign and ugh, gross.

am i the only one who loves these super random Strange New Worlds episodes? like this soap opera one (so far) Is GREAT -- i love it!!

while back i got a kodak charmera but never used it until this past trip. i guess it was pretty fun? not sure how i feel about ThE AeSTheTiC but it was a nice substitute for a film camera as a second thing to play with. mclassplanet.tumblr.com (yes i am repurposing a tumblr url i've had for ages)

i know it's silly but it bothers me that i need to upload recipts for our quickbooks subscription into quickbooks

DYING listening to these two flight attendants talking (they are clearly besties). Just a small excerpt: Him: “do you remember that nice guy who gave us cookies? That Asian guy?” Her: “yeah?” Him: “well, I…uhh…thanked him for his loyalty and now he’s living in my DMs” Ok Blanche!

If you’ve ever wondered what Tallinn’s Linnahall looks like inside… (Happened to be in town while an exhibition was taking place in it.) More photos at www.instagram.com/p/DdMSEfziit...

Was curious, so researched and indeed Swedish “torg”, Estonian “turg”, and Serbian “trg” are related. And, as it turns out, Turku, Finland and Trieste, Italy? en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconst...

Even for this basic b, this is a step too far!!!

Easy peasy first time EES. Maybe 15 min in line, didn’t use kiosk

omg my mom just voice called me (not facetime not whatsapp) and i thought the worst* but all she wanted to know was how to change her apple id password 😭😭😭 *my heart is still racing

Saw a poster for a musician/band called “Woe Nelly” and IDK who they are but I hope they are a gay singer-songwriter 😂

just saw an ad that said "starring synthetic performers" 😶

me: oh maybe i'll go a day early to london before i have to be there for work. *does some interneting, checks hotel prices* me: never mind

Two things I’m unironically grateful to YouTube for: 1) reliving the glory days of MTV whenever I want 2) letting me see the world in ways I never would (because I know myself): 3-week canyoneering trip through the Grand Canyon or climbing to a peak in the Alps.

i'm not saying i'm the most knowledgeable person about travel destinations on the planet but you think i would have heard about Magaluf and Benidorm before this past year (thanks to stuff that I see via The Algorithm)

This puppet episode of SNW is even more unhinged than expected.

i saw a payphone in someone's yard and so TIL about Futel. how nifty! "Futel is a public arts organization in Portland, Oregon dedicated to preserving and maintaining public telephone hardware and offering free phone and basic information services." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futel

NOPE

this whole thing is so wild -- because i've interviewed several of these very sketch folks (and knew something was up) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUhd...

Finally saw a man on a giant (off-road? idk it looked more rugged?) unicycle trucking down the road.

Streaming a French movie and the only language available is the English dub 😫 Not only that but the (English) subtitles say “[speaking French]” when it’s clearly Arabic 😫 😫

shipped something cheapest ground ("Ground Advantage") via USPS and there's no way this could actually have been (all) ground, right? Arrived at USPS Facility PORTLAND, OR 97215 August 12, 2026 10:58 PM ⏬ Arrived at USPS Facility DULLES VA DISTRIBUTION CENTER August 14, 2026 12:51 AM

Made my own spaghetti sauce which is delicious but it’s like the goddamn Shining in here now. #redrum

was just reminded of one of my favorite scenes in TNG: GUINAN: Careful. Putting me on a pedestal so high, you may not be able to reach me. RIKER: Then I'll learn how to fly. You are the heart in my day and the soul in my night. WESLEY: I don't think this is my style. GUINAN: Shut up, kid.
