“Unlike in most places, in the United Kingdom it seems to be perfectly legal for people to give each other medical advice, provided they don’t misrepresent themselves as licensed doctors. This is not legal advice.” @dynomight.net:

What if I end all interactions tomorrow with: “Is this lush enough for you? Are you fulfilled?”

All I heard of the grocery store conversation between a sixish-year-old girl & her mom with beachy waves was the girl saying, “Do Labubus live in trees? In water?” & the mom with beachy waves saying, “Mommy would love it if you didn’t talk for a little while.”

PLEASE back my yakstarter so i can purchase 1 yak. ROI will be bonkers: a picture of me braiding yak’s fur, a podcast of me talking to yak about my problems, a coffee mug (not yak themed), platinum tier patrons will be visited by yak late at night when yak is hungry

THE WHALES ASCEND. THEY HEED THE CALL. Only ‘Emergency’ knows the truth.

“We’ve done a pretty good job as a nation of making vehicles more efficient, having more renewables, switching to cleaner fuels. There could be more progress on that, but really, it’s mostly all about wildfire smoke.” @mollytaft.com:

Café. I thought I was the only one who heard the kitten-heeled woman in cream say, “I grew up on a dairy farm. I’m hyper-focused on early morning solutions,” but I made eye contact with the handsome barista with the fashion forward (untrimmed! untamed!) eyebrows & he did a subtle jerk off motion.

“Some American films were huge successes in France and failed everywhere else. American studios very often keep an eye on which similar films worked well in France over the previous 30 years to get ideas of title changes and make callbacks.” @manilazic.bsky.social:

“Most of us are able to go about our lives without ever thinking about the huge industrial machine that keeps the blood of civilization flowing. But the US consumes over 20 million barrels of oil a day, every day, and it takes a vast complex of oil refineries to make that possible.”

I don’t want to worry Senate Republicans, but I’m being told the instrumental coda to “Layla” is playing on the soundtrack

With all due respect Google Maps, this is important. I'm going to have to ask you to try harder

Café. Not sure what the context is, but the alt dad sitting near me (floppy hair, black jeans, beat up Barbie tee) said, wearily, to his resented toddler, “Yeah. I’m not like suuuuuuper into strawberries.”

Infrastructure upgrades are a necessary evil in all cities, so why not explain what’s being done in normal language instead of posting a big sign just saying how much money the government is spending and who the chief executive is?

Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.

You're laughing... I can't withdraw my Bonk from Kraken and you're laughing?

“You’re not going to park a $100 million aircraft for a $1,000 chip. We’re hooking up the supply of components you can get off the shelf today — at volume, at low cost — with the demand for parts that are no longer available, but for which there’s tremendous marginal need.”

“It wasn't until 1960 that organizers had a stage start in a different city than where the previous one ended, with riders taking the train south from Bordeaux to Mont de Marsan. From that point, the Loop began slowly distending, its shape becoming increasingly abstract.” @redford.bsky.social:

Wish I’d achieved a more green shade of gross algae bloom but otherwise these were a solid hit

My lesbian bestie & I are meeting a third friend who lives sort of far tomorrow & it started as a hike & a picnic but through my evil & subtle machinations I have transformed it into lunch & drinks at two separate venues with views of a pond & bridge respectively.

It turns out I DO have an outfit for this heat.

That’s a PERSON. I’m shocked I have to point that out.

you know who else made a call to a higher power to reverse a penalty for us

My favorite product is Zelle, because every time it tells you not to use it and that you'll probably get scammed if you even try

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

The world may be complicated and unpredictable, but I take comfort in the solid, immovable certainty that there will always exist, in the Pittsburgh suburbs, a kind of house whose bland suburban exterior conceals an interior design deeply and firmly rooted in the unimaginable power of COCAINE.

"How many people are coming for dinner???" "Eight! EIGHT!!!" "We don't have enough chairs!" "Yinz gotta move in more chairs!!" "Chairs aren't enough. We need to move in a COUCH!!" "A couch!!! Brilliant!!!" "Which couch?" "Are you ready for this?? The LEATHER COUCH!!" "That's PERFECT n'at!!!"

It has been a slow, steamy — some would even say stagnant — month in podcasts

The game of soccer has proved insufficient to resolve a game of soccer. We will play a different game instead.

scenes without mommy’s face in them are unnecessary in movies. it does nothing to advance the story of where did mommy go

“Stop! Who would refresh the Flight Status of Death must swipe me with fingers three, ere the other side he see.” The United app is less bad than most, but there’s a reason people love Flighty
