every day I think my contempt for ICE cannot possibly grow more and every day I am proven wrong

watching my spouse play overwatch is comical. she keeps dodging shots I don't even notice until a full second later

Almost certainly the best photograph I have ever taken from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.

napkins should be tortillas. you’re wiping food off your face; that food is still good. it can go on the tortilla, and then you get to eat it at the end. why am I always the one coming up with the good fucking ideas

what u have to understand is that working on my novel, answering dms, and answering emails all cost 1 spell slot but posting? Posting is a cantrip

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

frantically fabricating a casus belli against a friendly but weak nation before my ruler croaks

that dreadful feeling in Crusader Kings when your ruler is crippled and dying and you're desperately trying to paint the map red before the inevitable

just saw a little girl shooing a crow in the grocery store parking lot and had to hiss to the lads that we are never, EVER rude to mr crow, we are deferential to mr crow, and do you understand me? they said yes mama thank goodness

You gotta admit it's really funny that Trump is cognitively at about the level of a lower beast in one of Aesop's fables.

"Banned in Spain... condemned by the Vatican... now available in 4k" are my favorite series of statements found in a movie trailer

100% correct; this is why my social media approach since covid has mainly been "check in on my Online friends"

(character in a horror movie) ah, garbage disposal's jammed. well, better roll up my sleeve and shove my whole arm in there. no time to switch it off, i've got a jam to clear

I just got up for a snack and

a giant tropical room with bats, and a nice little river, and maybe some reptiles,

SNORT 🤣

probably my most authoritarian opinion is that there should be a large scale crackdown on so-called "alternative medicine"

Bill Watterson could do Sin City but Frank Miller could not do Calvin and Hobbes

Sarah just relayed a conversation we had in 2003 which is both impressive and terrifying

#1 downside of being injured from work is I now have a ton of time to look at after-Xmas sales

day two in Zohran Mamdani’s New York. I watched a gaggle of financial analysts get ziptied and marched into an unmarked van. A man ordered a latte with whole milk in front of me in line and the barista immediately shot him in the head.

*somebody* peed on a power strip. unfortunately, with one cat and two people who deny it, we may never know who did this

doing my best to keep my ornery dementia patient happy before EMTs take him to a farm upstate. the guy with the nuclear football keeps glaring tho

the President of the US bragging about passing a dementia test is just incredible. I can't fully process it

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

just saw a crow in a tree that was big enough to change my outlook on life. there is a before and after i saw this humongous dog sized crow

Nine Delights 2026

ready for 2026

Up all night because a little stray cat followed us home and absolutely will not leave. Happy new year

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

Stranger Things is a tv show about being a lvl 1 party with a lvl 20 sorceror

for 2026 we are leaving behind all fiction with villain childhood trauma. leave that shit in your notes

the high point of televised wizard combat remains Peter Jackson's LotR series. two incomparable octogenarians psychically whacking each other around Orthanc

Stranger Things has two hours left to produce some badly- needed character deaths

explaining to my younger coworkers that this was the Internet when I was their age

I would never do the "Here comes the airplane" bit to feed my child. Embarrassing for us both. I would calmly explain the importance of adequate nutrition and they will yield to unimpeachable logic

just texted my manager to let her know I need 2 weeks of medical leave and I feel deeply irrationally guilty. The Hospital needs me obviously

fwiw I have the other side of this: I think when we finally get the story on Trump’s health it will instantly be regarded as old news, long priced in

One of the best to ever do it

Coming out of a bagel place in NYC, was about to dig in to my toasted sesame and cream cheese but some guy roughly snatched it from my hand and took a big bite, then walked away backwards, giving me the finger as he wolfed down the rest (disgustingly). As you probably guessed, it was Kevin Costner.
