Maybe im smoking too much weed, or maybe my childhood dreams are chasing me again, but im getting some vivid, intense, almost invasive thoughts about a novel. Sci-fi/science fantasy, borrowing terms from traditional fantasy, but not having fantastical species in the story

"They forgot to redact this page," wrote YouTuber Keith Edwards, posting a page which stated, "During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe…1/2

The most American thing in a youtube comments section, McDonalds vs In-N-Out style video: Comment: "Whats In-N-Out?" Reply: "California-based burger chain, but they aren't that good because they dont even offer bacon for their burgers" And then a bald eagle screeched and the internet clapped

I gotta think this is part of the plan. Intentionally or unintentionally the people most responsible for destroying the country are least likely to be around for the worst effects of it

It's the state. It will always be the state until we eliminate it. The state is hierarchy, inequality, police, prisons, borders and war.

Every time they freeze this fucker with his mouth wide open, my literal only thought is "Perfect backscratcher design"

Twitter isn't just a nazi bar, it's the slowly declining bar that still gets some randos and tourists, but the fun and interesting people have stopped going to. And even people like Yglesias who are happy at a nazi bar don't want to be the last guy in the room with Musk and the loli pfps.

Wow

Anyone use/have Nebula, that streaming platform? What do you think of it? A few of my fav Youtubers keep pushing it, and Im so sick of the algorithm slop youtube pushes on me

Im getting into the habit of napping at work So far it hasn't affected my actual work, so im gonna keep doing it

X, the Nazi bar, keeps coming up in the feed today X is a Nazi bar now. Even if you still feel comfortable at a table in the Nazi bar, ... youre still in a Nazi bar...

Can't remember which book, but one of them basically said this when I was in my "financial self-help" era a decade ago. Something along the lines of: once one's needs are met, more money = worse person

Working today Apparently data collection projects can have time crunches lol

Was locked in at work today until the urge to poop hit Then I accidentally argued myself into becoming transhumanist...

IT: Welcome to Derry is an amazing piece of artwork And scratches that itch ive had since I first watched the TV miniseries I was, at the oldest, 6 when I first saw IT. Obsessed, but scared. Wore the VHS tapes out I was afraid of any and all drains for months.

Executive Orders don't work like that "Sunk Cost Fallacy" but scaled to include the worst people on the planet and the worst technology for society since the nuclear bomb

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

This is a Bsky dev posting this to mock someone who was posting about her husband being abducted by ICE.

Don't cut trees down by yourself Im all for DIY, when you AT LEAST understand what you're doing and why Could have gone so, so much worse... Im glad the tenant is safe, but goddamn! m.youtube.com/shorts/JIKuk...

Me: its getting colder. Im worried about my strawberry patch freezing being damaged by cold My strawberry patch, still fully green and producing: "Fuck yeah, let's goooo!!! 40°F? Have ALL the strawberries!! Hell yeah!"

Might delete this account ngl

I dont like YouTube Wrapped. Its a very "uncanny valley" feeling. YouTube Music wrapped seemed inaccurate enough, but theres no way in hell my most watched channel this year was "Healthy Gamer GG" (absolutely no shade whatsoever to that channel. I love Dr. K.)

Android, this is cheating! If you want an emoticon, you've gotta meticulously type it out with the intention that *this time* you'll lock it to the clipboard. Which, inevitably, never happens...

Oh wait, the algorithm cooking now

Me: Hey, I like this creator. Im gonna watch his comedy stand-up special because his Shorts are funny YouTube algorithm, for whatever reason: "This man loves comedy specials. Lets recommended 10 of them to him. In a row. Daily."

Me failing a "college success" class after already attaining a degree is a wild turn of events in my personal life

Little hut in the forest, live like Radagast the Brown Eventually. I'd make smart, strategic moves to make it happen in a realistic way But more or less hut in forest

Watching IT: Welcome to Derry and Stranger Things at the same time feels like when your personal reading book was a little too close to the assigned reading book in school

Every day should be a paid holiday People shouldn't have to sell their souls to soulless corporations just to secure their basic needs. Abolish labor

Social media is the pretty sign out front, but random forums (and Reddit) are the 2x4's and drywall of today's internet

Jump scared by youtube playing at 1.5x speed when the video started after a move from Shorts to a longer video

"Why dont they release the files!?" Because Donald Trump is one name among probably hundreds of thousands, and those hundreds of thousands look out for each other. Always. They also functionally run the world, so . . .

YouTube comment: "yeah, some Gen Z-ers are already going on 30" Me:

If youre on Reddit for any significant amount of time... say longer than the info you need from that Google search ... you are not neurotypical I will not elaborate

Wrong platform to ask this probably, but whatever happened with the fallout from the Pirate Software guy? Is he still making videos, like, at all? (Yes I could search him up but id rather not taint my search history more than it already is, ya know?)

Im legitimately tired of being told to buy things, especially by capitalists

New "How Money Works" video, summed up: Corporations squeezed poor people so hard, we dont have any more money to hand over, so now theyre going after the elite and wealthy Or, the economy is eating itself because it already ate everything else

Bought 6-ish months apart. Orange: heavy, tanky, rock-like Holds power for months when not in use Charges multiple devices Red: light, featherweight, barely holds a charge for a day. Recommended when I wanted to buy a 2nd Orange but was it was no longer sold Both, allegedly, have similar mAh. . .

First world problems: getting drop-shipped products that are actually GOOD and USEFUL, but that exact product was sold for two months in 2018 and everything similar to it is a) more expensive and 2) exponentially worse quality

Slowly making my way through those album recommendations! *Some* of you decided to suggest some stuff that took me a minute to digest -stares in mutual-

"A movie that takes place where you're from" Like Lorde once sung: "we live in cities you'll never see on screen"

please stop pointing to examples of Nazi Germany to exemplify the US slide into fascism - when you do so you miss that *ackshually* the US can be cited for much of these ideas of white supremacy and racialization

Lets gooooo! www.bbc.com/news/article...

deciduous trees are a ploy by Big Chore to sell more chores

Superstar Car Wash sounds like a late-90s/early-00s TV drama soundtrack (neutral) Lonerism stopped me in my tracks (complimentary). Apparently im a sucker for synths... Mordechai is after lunch

Here we go

Give me album recommendations. Any or all: Easy: any album you recommend from any artist Medium: it was released pre-2000 Hard: its not a mainstream/well-known album, even if the artist is I'll listen to them at work!

Probably a cow, or a horse Or a Great Dan the size of a horse my high school buddy had

Tea has been spilled at work. Suspicions have been confirmed. High school truly does never end (for some people) Silver lining: I interact with exponentially fewer people like that now.

LMAO no fucking way did California just release a radio ad that sounds JUST LIKE a jewelry store commercial! Its about data privacy in the end, but literally "they got me in the first half, not gonna lie" meme IRL
