I'm excited for in ten years or so when everybody's like "wow, we were all so complicit in the evil system that created kpop stars, we share this burden together" so I can enjoy not feeling that way like when we did the same thing for like britney spears

good weather always has a kind of paradoxical effect on my mood, like I'm supposed to feel guilty I'm wasting it. it's nice to have nature opposing your plans to give you an excuse

lots of people being quite weird about this. "are you disappointed you didn't do better" is kind of a standard question for every athlete who didn't do the best

Current* conditions near South Haven, MI:

agnostic on this in practical terms but I hope in the future I get to hear the phrase "booming moon economy" a lot, great mouthfeel

once again the thinking here seems so muddled by everybody involved, like yeah a statistical aggregate will recreate the stuff that goes into it. what's the news here. what's interesting

"have come to understand" is such infuriating phrasing man, are you sure they didn't just kind of make it up?

youtube... ads? are you guys seeing ads on youtube? do any functional adults not have ad blockers?

could you get the latency low enough to where the guy on the luge could navigate just by streaming this

oh yeah that guy. I've seen both hide and hair of him

Current* conditions near Grand Haven, MI:

I know it's fine to just make up stuff to mess with bad people but like, he's just pursing his lips in the first one and not the second one, right? conservatives have already reclaimed how weird looking he normally is anyway

I had a border collie as a kid so every time I see one now I feel like that’s my dog, you have to give it back to me. I recognize her unique white face stripe. no other dog could have that

whenever it's cold enough I think of wallace stevens going into a full cosmic horror reverie about an arctic sunrise

just saw something described on wikipedia as "rare but not unusual" and now I'm trying to think of specialized definitions where that could be true

okay it can stop snowing now. I'd be fine with that

well it's time for snow I guess

dreamt of a henley with buttons in the back mirroring the ones in front. not sure of the utility, maybe like those masks they'd wear on the back of their heads to ward off tigers
