Holy shit i can’t believe i got off an 8 hour internet-free flight and there was good news

Hell yeah Lesley

Idk if this has the same effect on anyone else but god damn

The haters said I’d never make it to The Village

I’m more powerful than i realized

I wish we didn’t live in a world where this nearly 10-year-old essay by @brandyjensen.bsky.social didn’t still feel so relevant but it’s something i think about every time we go through one of these unbearable cycles of discourse around horrible treatment of women theoutline.com/post/6297/as...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It’s gotta be some kind of sign that the Wizard of Id is talking shit about data centers and Flock cameras, right?

Actually i’m Mr Jackpots now

I don’t care how goddamn fancy your art space is, you can’t be charging $7.50 for a Rainier during the art walk

Oh god you can’t just be playing “Down From Dover” in the coffee shop

I’ve been doing the same job for 10 years where i got talk to people and write notes and try to get them help and i might be stagnating but what if i got a new job and had to understand any of this shit? That sounds like a nightmare!

I got basically no sleep and saw the AI breakfast burrito this morning and y’know i’ve felt better

Oh yeah i remember when a kid named Badger went deer hunting and decided to tan the deer hide in the basement of my dorm, didn’t smell too good that week. Hope Badger is doing well.

Found my new fav music writer

FREEDOM FOR DREAMS!

Man, i guess there are sadder things than a wealthy and successful guy dying at 78 having lived what seemed to be an idyllic animal-filled life in his last decades, but i really liked having Sam Neill in the world

19th century Ryan Grim: Based on the orderly nature of the stab wounds, “the ripper” is a highly inaccurate name. Its journalistic malpractice to not give “Jack” credit for minimizing suffering and killing painlessly 19th century Michael Tracey: I think these bitches alive 💯

Gotta say, one of the most evocative spam texts I’ve ever received

That was as much of a “gotta hand it to em” game as i could imagine but also i read Among the Thugs last year

America i’ve given you all and now i’m nothing

Actually it was me who sabotaged the reflecting pool. It won’t reflect anymore. It will relentlessly absorb, reflecting nothing. In 6 months the sun will be a pale lukewarm husk.

Being against bike lanes is the number one red flag there’s deeper, darker views a person holds that we just don’t know about

My cousin started referring to many situations as a “classic case” - differentiated by “classic case, mostly comical” vs “classic case, mostly devastating.” Obv the same event could be both depending on your perspective.

yeah yeah very impressive but let’s see that kid face off against me at the Drunken Spelling Bee

They got any stats on opossum profile pics?

Y’know goodreads is not exactly my favorite app but i do love finding deranged vanity books when trying to use its terrible search function

Hello the MIMS Show this is excellent content but it would be improved by replacing the audio with “This Is Why I’m Hot” on loop

This expedition really doesn’t seem worth it
