Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

My favorite influencer currently is the middle-aged German dude who posts videos of himself swimming in the river with various waterfowl nearby

I love spending time outdoors, but unfortunately, I do seem to have the same taste in scenery as mosquitoes

Yooooooo new Fonda Lee out today. Prepare to be sick of me.

The older I get, the more I understand those old ladies who walk around the mall

Can't believe I thought getting a bachelor's degree would help me get a job

There's a countywide nature photo contest where I live, and some guy submitted a photo of cicadas getting laid

I read Molly Ringwald's memoir as a bored nine year old and I honestly think the ghost of that experience is why part of me still struggles to pick up memoirs

i asked my grandma what she was listening to on her phone because it was making weird noises and she told me "the internet"

ill never understand this need from both left and right for there to be some master manipulator behind everything. sometimes politicians are just really shitty and they arent being paid off or blackmailed to do so. they just suck.

Love to see all the people shitting on Daniel Biss for being a milquetoast centrist because it tells me they have absolutely no idea what he stands for. I'm not in love with the guy or anything, but let's be honest here.

See y'all in six business months when my hold for this book comes through

Nothing like Yom Kippur to bring into depressing focus how little white clothing you own

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
