Very important! Look out for health misinformation!

Honestly bumper stickers are such an interesting phenomenon. On one hand, they represent individual views. On the other, they represent a sales and design team identifying a market group to commodify the sentiments of. It’s the meeting point of the individual and systems in a visible way.

Hey, a lot of us are depressed right now and I know it can unfortunately be contagious. Maybe if you’re like me and you’re kinda mad at the world, we can still try to post happy and curious things from time to time despite it. It could break someone else’s doomscroll spiral.

Truly one of the all-time top memes.

I have visa problems, am set to run out of money soon, and have computer issues and these things are working together to be a pretty hard dragon to slay. Somehow I’ll do it though. Putting a little work in every day. I’ll figure things out.

Epic 14-hour prime minister resignation speedrun.

I’m pretty excited for my Egypt trip in December as you can imagine.

Frankly if you think the ongoing invasion of US cities is primarily serving as a “distraction” from the Epstein files, you just don’t have a grasp on reality. Did you just not pay attention to an entire campaign boasting about doing exactly this with ICE? They’re doing as they threatened; grow up.

O, shit, men are being wiped out by baboons!

Being mean to robots: ✅ Epic and good. They are causing problems and I don’t like them and they have no rights. Using “dinosaur” as a pejorative: ❌ Whoa, yikes, you can’t just disparage the good name of the best animals like that.

Everyone, please watch this.

As I said in the comments too: Along with the southern dispersal hypothesis in Australasia and the coastal dispersal model in the Americas, it seems more and more like humans have an ancestral knack for beach-walking.

Do you think privileged people who don’t have to make tough decisions are more likely to be allured by deontological ethics?

The first Roman coins to feature a contemporary politician were those of Pompey the Great, starting in 71 BC for the occasion of his triumph following a campaign in Hispania. A few years later, the Senate would grant him extraordinary powers but he would lose them in civil war with Julius Caesar.

Heh.

More love for the coolest creatures.

Yeehaw. I haven’t done this in like 9 months and apparently it pretty much totally replaced its inhabitants.

Happy Tyrannoversary!

I watch this person’s YouTube videos. Very intelligent.

Homo homies, where you at?

The Swifties in my feed are preparing for civil war.

People who live in stone houses should throw glass.

I think one of the obligations to being a reply guy should be funny jokes or something. Some of y’all just be like “💕💕💕🥺🥺🥺“ thirty times a day.

She’s spitting facts.

Shoutout to the people who make their online presence all about fighting famous people they’re mad at. Sometimes they deserve it but like, damn, being angry is tiring. I dunno how some of y’all maintain it.

The White House has issued an executive order today designating all non-avian flying reptiles as pterrorists. Very concerning development.

I got one heart react on my Facebook story and Facebook generated a notification that said it got 75% more interaction than most of my stories. OK, thank you.

Woke up from a dream a bit ago where I was stuck at some Christmas event where my parents were befriending archaeologist Zahi Hawass and former Egyptian president Hosni Moubarak all while I was stressed that I was missing a substitute teaching job at a school where I had left my dog.

After grabbing my old Wii stuff when I visited my parents over the summer and getting the EU versions of all the cords, we are back for some peak gaming.

Someone joined the language Discord server and DMed me asking for help. Turns out she was a 14-year-old girl looking for her language-buff online boyfriend, who’d ghosted her some months ago and she was spiraling. Chatted with her for a little bit and told her to be kind to herself. Poor girl.

Whoa! Belém, like the city in Brazil, is the Portuguese rendering of Bethlehem!

Homie’s spitting facts. Also it’s good to keep in mind that Wikipedia has one of the internet’s most robust non-academic systems of academic integrity. If you don’t know whether to get your info from the first Google result, ChatGPT, or Wikipedia, the latter is by far the most reliable.

I posted about Montreal melons once months ago and now I’m getting Montreal local political posts. Hello, good people of Montreal. I’ve never been to your city but I’m sure it’s lovely and I’m happy to algorithmically join you in your region of cyberspace.

You would think that France would hand visa renewal requests to their dedicated national immigration service instead of specific local police prefectures which can only help you in their specific location and which don’t prioritize that activity. But you would be wrong.

Badass Dunkleosteus display.

😞

Minecraft concept for a hanging blue whale skeleton at actual size I made today with a little bit of extra time. Might be fun to do a museum build with it as a centerpiece.

One of my friends fired a .45-caliber inside with no ear protection and his ears have been ringing continuously since July so I guess this is a PSA to not do that.

If you fish a man a give, feed a day for him lifetime. ☯️ 🎣 🧠

Tony Blair looks like when he attends a turkey dinner he leans forward to gnaw on the bird directly off the platter.

I need to get me one of these.

Today I learned about the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic, a unified state in the Caucasus that broke away from the Russian Empire during the Russian Revolution in 1918 but lasted only a month before breaking down as constituent ethnic groups declared independence.

Hey, ICE volunteers! Reminder not to wear your mask all day! I remember those images a bunch of you shared on Facebook back during COVID about how wearing a mask would restrict oxygen to your lungs or whatever. Wouldn’t want that to happen!

In 20 years, all the AI kids are gonna have a phase where they paint their walls piss-yellow and wear piss-yellow clothes and watch nostalgic piss-yellow programming and they’ll be like “ah, the aesthetics of my youth. This takes me back.”

Hey, reminder to support indie game developers because you don’t have to devote your money to corporate conglomerates to game. (Stardew Valley and Prehistoric Kingdom are great!) Not like EA is ever gonna top Spore again anyway.

On further getting into tomato etymologies, it gets even better. Spanish goes with either “tomate” from Náhuatl “tomatl” or historically “poma de moros,” the “fruit of the Moors” (North Africans who did not have tomatoes before Columbus) which is maybe the source for “pomme d’amour” and “pomodoro.”

That Minecraft song “Revenge” will forever overshadow whatever song it was parodying. 14 years later, the lyrics are ingrained in my memory but I can’t tell you a single line from the original. Creeper… aw, man.

I dunno who else will find this as fun as I do but apparently بندورة (“banadura”) for a tomato in Levantine Arabic comes from the Italian “pomodoro.” 🍅

I saw a bunny on the walk to the office today so that’s good!

Going to the village seer but he’s a pervy little bastard. “Wise seer, what do you see in my future?” “I see you… naked tonight.” “I mean… like with the crops…” “I see you… barefoot after a harvest…” “Seer, bro, tell me about the important things in the vision.” “Your ass will be fine.”
