This was slapped on a bus station and I’ve been laughing at it all morning

Spent a gym session getting humbled by the Bulgarian split squat yet again... shouts out to Bulgaria, I guess. I have no details of this particular lift's origins and I'm instead choosing to believe that every Bulgarian learns to do these from earliest childhood and has insanely jacked legs

I check FB maybe once a year and when I do I get ads for whatever this is

oh he on DRUGS drugs

seeing exactly one video and immediately thinking "I am going to learn Bengali because I want to learn how they do this for real" (all the videos on this account are like this www.instagram.com/surjo00787)

Here are loads of steps that millions of people must make every single day so we can avoid the one simplest step of stopping rampant profiteering

Oh, oh, it's magic, you know They said Charlie Brown has got hoes

Racism dot com's writer of the year and his editor in chief, the warrior god king of concern trolling, saw all your AC flame war posts and decided to go to the brain gym about it

[politics understander just read the niemoller poem] oh hell yeah thats loads of people before they come for me that will buy loads of time , sick

world's best vibes band ever. what was evident back then is even more evident now

In 2004 and 2005 if you went to a Mae Shi show and handed them a mixtape or mix CD to listen to in the van they would give you a copy of the Mae Shi 2004 Mix Tape, a collection of their 3000 favorite songs in about 70 minutes. Now you too can enjoy a copy.

My mom is going to be visiting soon and I'm asking her to bring a jar of her homemade ketchup because we both share the affinity for ultra-umami sauces. I've seen her make it from start to finish and as such I would never consider doing that myself. It's just too much work!

I dunno if this review is good or not because I saw the byline and recalled that the author (Emmett Rensin) was on the Shitty Men in Media list with a huge red highlight indicating that he'd been accused of rape and that it was corroborated by multiple people

supposedly the heat here will break tomorrow afternoon, and I gotta be real with you: if this goes on much longer I might have to seek medical attention. I suppose it's a factor of getting older, but I have never had heat feel this crushing. London 2022 was a nightmare, but it wasn't 15 days of 35+

This one sneering tweet somehow explains and encapsulates everything about how corporate Democrats managed to lose to Donald Trump twice

I have this dissociative feeling of just-below-the-surface memories that emerge from listening to any song on the first Crowded House album because it was the first CD my parents ever bought. Same for Mary Chaplin Carpenter, and tbh both artists hold up extremely well to this day

Time to train the puppygirls to take Carentan.

28. i returned to TRASHFUTURE for a discussion of peter thiel's secret society and did a dramatic reading of some truly bizarre LLM-written self-insert fanfic that a security company posted to its own website

Enjoying the way Nate and his fellow band members lean into how human electronic music has always been, and certainly was in the early 80s.

Becoming a hype man for @sapheenistan.bsky.social who imo writes way better songs than I do and then is like "uhh I don't know if this is any good or not." Yes it is actually. This song whips ass secondhomes.bandcamp.com/track/spinni...

Don't care about sports but I can't help but feel some pride at my countrymen's knack for completely out of order, unnecessarily vitriolic football chants

I mean where do you want me to begin lol

Electing people who share your values might work for you in New York. but it doesn't play well in Cedar Rapids, where I am currently chilling

I haven't ventured anything but I feel like it bears mention that dealing with 40C / 104F in London in 2022 was the worst heat I have ever experienced in my life. I've dealt with 42C / 107F in the American South *without air conditioning* and that UK heat wave was worse

Lacaton & Vassal stay winning* Their scheme for transforming existing multi storey housing is what I whish was common practice. I wonder how those fared in the last heat wave with 42 ~ 43 °C in Bordeaux *idk how they are personally, I assume horrible as with all teaching architects

Today in being 41: Shouts out to everyone who swims on a regular basis for exercise. I haven't swam regularly in 3 years and I've never come close to what I used to do when I was in school. And you know what? I don't want to! I managed 600m in an Olympic length pool and I feel like I got suplexed

Just so happens that the pool I go to is right by one of the largest apartment complexes in Europe (Le Lignon). I'm obviously pro-AC as an immediate harm reduction measure, but slapping AC in every window isn't going to solve the actual problem: this was built for a climate that no longer exists

In the interest of saving the environment, residences may only use the least efficient and most electrically wasteful forms of AC, which is "legal" unless your régie decides that the hose sticking out the window violates the lease regarding altering the outward appearance of the building

Somewhat taken aback by the idea that we're only allowed to use portable AC units here because anything else would be too offensive to God and/or Swiss cultural norms, except for all the external AC units and central air that they have in commercial buildings. It's only banned in residences

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

If you like my insomniac playlist postings you will like this album

it was literature pub quiz night and our team name "flowers for algae gone" didn't get a single laugh, this isn't the country i grew up in

While we're all posting the lows of Starmerism:

Starmer stepping down to spend less time with his wife

Currently being broiled alive but I am sustained by the fact that Starmer is out and also, in personal news, another US radio station played one of our songs and this time it was one I wrote / sing on secondhomes.bandcamp.com/track/we-cal...

we need thousands more of this guy and thousands less of the kinds of guys we do have

Gimme the most British headline u got. Okay okay i admit I didn't realize what I was asking for

Because of the World Cup going on, I see people hanging their home country's flags on their balconies, and the thought crossed my mind that there is no possible situation where I'd do the same. It feels impossible to display it without it coming across as support for our government. Which: fuck no

doing this when your wife is pregnant… Usha Vance no jury would convict you

Those of us who are about to die salute you

we're gonna leave this child's soul wide open to satan for the six most delicate and precious years of his life, just to see what happens. my names jd vance and welcome to jackass

I'm not sure if this is still the case but, when I was a teen / early 20s, doctors said that it wasn't feasible to test for HPV in men. A lot of guys may have it without knowing it. And if you get the shots, the chances are extremely good that it'll either clear your infection or reduce the risk.

When I'm back on my bullshit

We're in a heat wave again. It's currently 30°C/86°F. it's going to be 34°C/93°F today. This won't break for at least the next week, and Tuesday is forecast to be 38°C/100°F. This would be manageable except they don't have AC in schools or daycares here, and most home AC installs are illegal. So, uh

Carmel punished by god yet again and you can't blame this one on me unless god has a 19 year backlog for cities in Indiana that deserve punishment (this is highly plausible)

My son charmed a whole tube carriage of Harry Styles fans heading to Wembley yesterday. One of them tried to give him a Harry Styles beaded bracelet they had made themselves, but being the responsible parent I am, I said NO. My son only listens to Math Rock

authentic reaction to encountering Primus at any time

**Paul Simon voice** I'm going to Nateland, Nateland Nashville, Tennessee I'm going to Nateland Pod boys and posters with families And we are going to Nateland
