They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

If you're Covid informed, you'll often hear "you need to step out of your comfort zone," meaning = attend big events without airborne mitigations which is odd because we don't say that about other precautions. We don't tell construction workers to stop wearing hard hats & live a little

At this point I wish Caroline Kennedy Schlossburg would just climb up there herself with a crowbar and get it done. Sick of waiting on this scaffold crew.

Put the Kennedy Center live feed on the LA Stadium jumbotron you cowards.

Seem to remember the name went up in like 10 minutes with a scissor lift and some bucket cranes and yet to take it off it's taking a giant scaffold that is being erected at a glacial pace. Yes, storm delays, but this seems like foot dragging.

But, what if --hear me out-- we elected a leader that was all of the above?

Happy Pride!

Just learned that the last batch of novavax expires on the 31st, so if you’ve been putting off a booster, this weekend is it until a new one is approved (god knows when)

With the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we are going to see a big uptick in adoptions. As someone who works in Grogu rescue, I will remind you: when you adopt a Baby Yoda, you are committing to its 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯. Grogus can live up to 900 years. They can also move shit around your apartment.

Every year I'm more convinced D&D really got it right when they made Intelligence and Wisdom separate attributes.

Dear @mayor.nyc.gov, please get a NYC Alt Side Parking account on Bluesky. Right now, the only social media account for that info is on X. Please do not endanger New Yorkers or make them support a right wing billionaire by forcing them to visit that hate site.

Asking 22 of the sort of Brits who go on cruises to self isolate for 6 weeks in 2026. We might as well just declare a pandemic now, speedrun that shit.

Today is #InternationalMEAwarenessDay and I am speaking up for the #MillionsMissing because they shouldn't have to fight for themselves (and often literally can't). Please mask in essential spaces (medical buildings; supermarkets; drugstores; etc.) 😷 #MEAwarenessDay #MEAwarenessDay2026 #MECFS #pwME

Amazing how much shit gets spread on cruise ships and yet we never learn.

never forget that when you surf the web…the web also surfs you

"You're operating from a scarcity mindset" yeah bitch things are scarce as fuck

What if dogs lick us because they know there's bones inside us

Hey CC folks, we need to talk about the arts & entertainment… The Edge of a Rainstorm: A Necessary Conversation About Arts & Entertainment for the CC Community guinesspig.ghost.io/the-edge-of-...

That's a wrap on #InspireAirAwareFest and we are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the response we got!!! 🥹 Thank you *so* much to everyone who participated - more events to come! Pierro is relieved that I can now resume devoting 100% of my attention to him (as I should). #covidconscious #maskup 😷 #covid

This is the new normal: theatre workers destroying their health to keep working. When will they demand safer working conditions. #cleantheair

I think everything started going wrong when songs stopped having saxophone solos.

We had FIFTY-FIVE PEOPLE on the Zoom for last night's #InspireAirAwareFest Open Mic! 🤯 And that was with basically all of Europe knocked out since it started at 8pm ET! All ten folks who performed were BONKERS talented! Today's events: Wake Up and Smell the COVID and Anti-Fascist Pasta Night! ☕️😷🍝

Fact.

Dogs expand at night. No one knows why.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

The pandemic showed me that most people are incapable of self preservation. They’re incapable of going against the crowd. They give in to peer pressure and creature comforts even if it could mean death and disability. It’s been wildly disappointing.

There is a version of this world that could exist where, at any given time, the majority of humans beings are just chillin’ and eating fruit.

You’ve seen cat bleps. Maybe you’ve even seen dog bleps. But have seen A DONKEY BLEP? George was just wondering.

Christina Applegate tells Jimmy Kimmel, “It might be Covid, I’m just super duper sick and you’re gonna have it." #WTF 🤬 This is why we can't trust anyone. Mask 😷 up. Wear a respirator to avoid infections. Test everyone close to you.

They must make Nazgûl a little medal for his collar. He should also be in the closing ceremony
