I am going to finish this fuckass book if it kills me. Its so bad, I hate it. Even the sexy parts are bad!

First peaches of the season

Once again, all my books have come in at the same time, even ones that were staggered out 2, 4, and 6 weeks.

Snax

Hot damn!

I want my dolls to kiss, I'm mad that they're not, and I'm mad at myself for being mad.

Freud said we need both work & love. Perhaps many people’s jobs are thankless drudgery – that already is a source of depression. But having something you do is pretty central to a lot of people’s identities, even if it’s not something you adore. If that just disappears, it will be a major adjustment

I once pitched a movie in which D’Artagnan was a young woman who wanted to be a musketeer. It was pleasingly playful about gender and sexuality and had a lot of swash and buckle. Half way through the pitch, an exec had a lightbulb moment. “Wait! What if the character actually WAS a dude?!!!?!?!?”

People need to grapple with the fact we're in an epistemic crisis that's starting to corrode countless elements of human knowledge.

Oh motherfucker

Using up the leftovers: spicy togarashi fries from Bon Me that I was too full to eat when I got the and Kayem hot dogs all done up in the air fryer, with spicy mayo.

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

Congrats to Spain. A generational ham country. Ham as a fingerfood, ham as a meal. They earned that trophy in my book. The ham book, in this instance.

Market Basket is absolutely insane right now.

This is so satisfying

YOOOOOOOOOOOO Fuck Argentina

WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Are we just going to keep adding minutes to this until Argentina scores?

I hate conspiracy theory shit but if this isn’t a goal then it’s hard not to think that FIFA is trying to give Argentina the win. Absolutely incomprehensible call.

Oh snap!

tl;dr: Canadians who think there's a master plan being hatched at the Legion of Doom and this isn't nonsensical flailing are wrong and Americans who think this is reassuring are wrong because it's like saying "Don't worry about the taxi driver, he's just drunk" to someone you're sharing a cab with.

Is this going to be another WC win decided by a shoot-out?

"Odysseus ripped off his rags. Now naked, he leapt upon the threshold with his bow and quiverfull of arrows, which he tipped out in a rush before his feet, and spoke. What’s up, jerks."

me watching this: oh my god I live in an absurd culture of excess me watching Europeans grouse about this: THIS IS MY CULTURE AND I WILL NOT HEAR IT DISRESPECTED

Has the word "vibe" been replaced by "aura"? Is that the new term the Youth are using?

I'm reading a really terrible romance novel, and I cannot just DNF it because it was on my waiting list for *eight months* and I'll be damned if I waited this long for it to come up and then just walk away from it. (Its really bad though.)

Its actually a little to cold to sit out on my balcony this morning. Cold!

My home girl been married for something like 27 years We went to seminary together and everything Tell me why she did her white husband reveal today

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Sharing my sushi dinner with a tiny wasp, it comes over periodically to nibble a piece of fish off a roll then flies away with it.

I'm getting coffee before the market opens and some guy just picked up an order for a large iced coffee with cream, six sugars, and six shots of carmel syrup

First day back at the market for the season

Oh no, Brenda Fricker?

This thread. I’ve been saying it for several yrs now: Russia’s dezinformatsiya (disinformation) campaign against the West and particularly America is the most successful intelligence operation in modern history. They’ve been manipulating govt. and society incredibly successfully. We’re suckers.

Trump curse is undefeated.

Welp.

Fuuuuuuucking hell #ARGENG

I would really like to just sit and read my book this afternoon ("Dancer from the Dance" by Andrew Holleran)

SICKLY

I was wondering why my voice is so smoky and hoarse. It's kind of alluring, I like the way it sounds but I definitely don't need all these particles in my lungs.

So I guess I'm not going for a run this evening

Oh wow now it really smells like smoke.

Its so dark out now, too!

there is a reading crisis, one element of which is the seizure of control over reading in schools by people who aren't serious readers

The air is yellow today. I feel like I'm in a movie.

The air here has been yellow since mid-morning yesterday.

Man, the more you racist motherfuckers try to "cancel" Hudson Williams, the bigger and more resolute his fanbase becomes. Give it up, you friendless losers; go celebrate your white boy getting another movie role. Isn't that why you say you're here in the first place?

France celebrating Bastille Day by getting beheaded

Haven't seen France lose this decisively to the Spanish in 500 years

Those "exhausted" agents can literally quit any time. They are not obligated to stay and murder people in cold blood.
