Man, nobody could build a shithouse like the WPA.

One of my new super sensory powers is the ability to taste the geosmin in the local tap water. I can taste the absolute hell out of it despite being so congested I’ve barely smelled anything in months. It’s not a fun power, turns out.

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

As part of Meta’s Muse Image model rollout, Instagram users with public accounts need to opt out to block AI generations of their content. www.wired.com/story/meta-n...

PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is one of my favorite movies and I would very much like to have a copy of it for myself so we should all donate to this Kickstarter if we have any extra dollars:

Not only do I not have today off, I'm on the reference desk. So I get to sit here for hours in an empty library. There are more staff members than patrons in this building. Why is it so important to force us to go through with this charade? Anyway, shoutout to my fellow desk jockeys today.

As a music fan, one thing I love to do is take 20 years to listen to a band’s new album

In other news, my oven broke today, THE VERY EXACT DAY THE WARRANTEE EXPIRES. I am extremely creeped out by this.

If I disappear forever, it’s [probably] because Bluesky won’t let me verify my age.

my body is a machine that transports authentication codes from my screen to my phone and some other supporting auxiliary functions

Half Price Books gave us $86 for our last batch of posters, so I guess they were worth seven to eight million dollars.

Just shut up after the concert or the band will come back out.

My parents eat red meat at least three times a day and I do not know how they are still alive.

I Have No Skills and I Must Work

when the wind is hot, it's just like, really??

I hate this shit. IT’S 10:30 P.M. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. (Someone please help me get outta here.)

I wish I could communicate to my parents that having them come to town to "help" does not help me in any way. It makes everything worse. I would much rather handle things myself. They inadvertently taught me self-reliance through being incredibly, incredibly annoying.

me watching dredd (2012) the first time: this is awesome me watching dredd (2012) the second time: this is awesome me watching dredd (2012) the third time: this is awesome

There should be emojis like 💯 for all the percents

I have one episode left of Widow’s Bay and two episodes of Nirvanna the Band the Show and after that I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with myself.

I want to go to Buffet Infinity, though.

Austin residents got blasted with flood alerts all night long, but I guess now we are just supposed to go our stupid office jobs like it’s nbd.

How are there so many sports?

In theory, I only have six weekends until I have a kid, so I should be doing zany or big things with this time, but I’m just so damn tired from the manufacturing of said kid.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Didn’t realize you can’t soft block people on here. :(

I can't believe people actually shoot videos of themselves inside the "Mobile Criterion Closet" like kindergartners at a children's museum pretending to be newscasters

So, um. I got semi-secret married back in January. (<- not a joke)

Brace Belden getting semi-secret married and having a baby right after Liz got semi-secret married and had a baby is some excellent comic timing. (Congrats to all!)

Watching the Spurs-Thunder game at my parents’ house. Hear me out: The game is too easy for these people. The nets should be even higher.

My mom is, like, obsessed with the OKC Thunder.

thank god the internet got so bad. I swear my attention is growing back. I read two books this week! that's insane. last year I could barely read an article without long breaks lol

What the fuck is Needoh

Gen Z has rediscovered the X-files & is realizing how dystopian the America of today is compared to the 90s "Watching The X-Files... has solidified my belief that I would have likely been happier in an age that preceded me." midnightmurmurations.substack.com/p/the-x-file...

I know finals are soon, but someone is eating tuna fish salad in the library at 9:00 a.m., and I just think that's uncalled for.

I need someone to come talk to me like I’m a baby and teach me how to cook wild salmon. It doesn’t matter what videos I watch or how I cook it, it’s always so bad. Do I just hate wild salmon?

It's very murky how to disable this so I'll just provide a scorched-earth approach: 1. Disable Gemini Apps Activity: myactivity.google.com/product/gemini 2. Disable ALL activities: myactivity.google.com/activitycont... 3. Disable "Activity-based personalisation": photos.google.com/settings

Accidentally started watching The Pitt.

Does no one want to impress Jodie Foster anymore?

I’m supposed to oversee the installation [of] and training [for] a new $65,000 document scanner tomorrow and I just cannot make myself give a fuck.

I hate every bot I see. From gpa to gpt

When the eBook and the audiobook come in at the exact same time, you’re on top, buddy. Livin’ right.

My ADHD reading hack is that I have a Kindle eBook and an Audible audiobook syncing together so I can bounce between formats based on whatever my brain is doing that particular day. When both formats aren’t available, I have a tantrum. It’s fun!

🎵the world is a vampire / im gonna ride it all night long 🎵

If there is honeydew melon in your fruit cup and it disturbs you, give it to me. I want the melon.

We are suffering, as a society, from Battlestar Galactica not being easily available for streaming.

Love to be drenched in sweat on a winter afternoon. (Someone please get me out of here. I hate this shit.)
