When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

one of the very tiring things about politics from 2015 on is the two tiered system election system where there are real candidates who have to be perfect in every single way and anything in their record any statement can be used to disqualify them and clown vibe candidates who are never accountable

We’ve compromised, he now sleeps on my foot because I’m using his favorite blanket

Gutting state capacity is bad

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself. The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

The frustration of having 24/7 access to a cat and being unable to properly pet and cuddle him (not to mention the bombastic side eye whenever I shift in my sick bed)

Actively losing brain cells reading the 2025 American National Security Strategy for class

There are some shows I have given up on because of the constant constant re-stating of exposition. Exposition is a thing that is definitely needed in normal amounts. The amounts being demanded right now by executives at some streamers is excessive & annoying & has killed my interest in some shows

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Using vogue for the Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer is a little obvious, don’t get me wrong, I’m gay, I’m living, but that is someone’s first idea

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

praying for a snow day tomorrow

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

How it feels finally getting home after 17 hours of work, class, and a Halsey concert

Semester starts tomorrow and I am (un)fortunately taking very Topical and Relevant courses such as Comparative Homeland Security and US Foreign Policy in Latin America & the Caribbean, can’t wait to stare into the Abyss for the next 15 weeks (3 years)

2016 vs 2026

The past few nights the cat has elected not to sleep in the same bed as me And I need to know what changed in that little brain of his How I have offended the household god… hmmmmm

They’ve been doing construction at my work and it’s so cold… any volunteers to warm me up 🥶

A great many humanistic majors have this affordance of making the world legible to you, but at the cost of feeling like you're the sane one in the asylum

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Sometimes I just want to see my friends dicks… not because I’m necessarily horny but because I’m nosey lol

Not usually one for the Sunday Scaries but two weeks of vacation changes a person

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

I feel like the entire vibe of this administration is powerful people from across the globe and within the United States pretending that's this admin is entirely normal and/or not happening

Your teacher in 2005: don't use Wikipedia as a source! People can change it! Use dot gov sites! Teacher in 2025: don't use dot gov sites, they say Tylenol causes autism. Wikipedia is curated by honest and trustworthy nerds who require real citations. 1

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

lazy Sunday vibes

And finally home free with two weeks to turn off my fried brain, huzzah
