my biggest gripe about bluesky apart from the vibes being adjacent to a highschool gsa is there’s no community for two of my favorite hobbies (strategic osint and information security)

getting grs but to make it bigger

if i could instantly learn one language it would 100% be amharic

will trade nut videos (with sound on) for calculus tutoring

it shouldn’t be controversial to say that kate willett is simultaneously one of the dumbest and most self-destructive people on left politics and has been for several years

mecha-killy warmup for today

happy j6 to all who celebrate

i have to say rhinoplasty because someone would get a little too freaky at the mention of a nosejob

forgot the word homunculus and said “homo nucleus” instead

i do find it interesting how large the gap in reaction is between the average venezuelan celebrating maduro’s ouster and some lefty voices / orgs demanding his reinstatement. i think if you’re that far out of alignment with the people experiencing “the event”, it would prompt some introspection

date with my sister

yay

please do not get yourselves ofac'd. it will ruin your life. just donate to the red cross. it's simple, accessible, and you won't get fucking ofac'd. seriously do not get fucking ofac'd. it's a nightmare.

well, okay. sure.

goodnight

from a strategic perspective, there's no reason the US should strike at Venezuela. all of the stated objectives (drug trafficking deterrence, regime change) and theorized objectives (oil and economic objectives) are, unsurprisingly, not achieved through direct strikes. we've known this for years!

yippee though

what it’s like being my friend:

ALOTTADOGS - OFF OUT NEXT WEEK JAN 9TH

i’m a smuggle food into the movie theatre maximalist. one time i snuck in a half pound of manapua and didn’t get caught

2025 was a rough, fraught year where i had to re-discover and reinvent myself top to bottom. big wins in keeping a 4.0 while enrolled full time and working full time, rediscovered my love of writing, committed to prioritizing my happiness, and got a brand new face. i'm going to summit 2026 head on.

happy new year

you're 28, stop writing that google doc and run him over with your car

everyone wants more social programs and better utilities: absolutely no one wants to pay for them. just watch how fast property taxes turn people into republicans lol

i'm taking tren so i can sell dropshipped underwear on twitter

the problem with writing longform personal essays is that there is nothing new to say about any certain thing, there's only new varnish to put on old ideas. there's no courage in bringing heterodox perspectives in increasingly polarized communities. there is no intellectual courage in this epoch.

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

i pass this on the way to work every day and laugh a little

10:15 am: exam 11:45 am: marty supreme 3:00 pm: weed nap

Young men’s cruising association

i keep ending up as the mike faist

where the local high school mascot is the Honkers

watching the holdovers because my parents don’t want me home for christmas 🎄

guy who works at a candle store and has never heard of new york: bushwick? i think that would smell terrible.

munchin’ after sleigh pullin’

i don't understand. were the kansas city chiefs not already in kansas? were the kansas city chiefs somewhere else, like in montreal, or sacramento? why were they called the kansas city chiefs if they were not in kansas?

Mikkeli Ref Sheet [comm]

they really did mean short term :( this sucks

this feels so good if you’re a computer

i’m having an all time bad week to the point where it’s almost funny how bad it is monday: destroyed sleep schedule, food poisoning (?) tuesday: poured boiling water on hand, nuclear client crash out wednesday: grandfather in short term hospice i’m ready for anything man

i think its nuts there's a hockey team called the predators

accidentally poured boiling water over my hand oops

prospective client ordered a background check (on me), asked for internal references, paid a people lookup service, then called me at 10 in the morning to ask if i was a transvestite
