Philadelphia: - 6th largest city in the US - also freezing - can smell your fear/blood in the air

Listen I’m not strategist, but planning a domestic invasion in Minnesota in January feels a tad bit like invading Russia in the winter. Like sure you can, but should you?

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Sometimes I think about crafting a more specific or relatable online persona, and then I think about literally anything else instead.

Wishing all ICE officers a very happy Napoleon's Retreat From Russia

I hope for every horrifying news story - and I cannot underline enough how terrifying this is as someone who has walked this street and performed right fucking there - we can also see scenes like this. We are stronger together than we are apart. And immigrants are part of that together.

we are good on 2026! gonna call this year now thanks!

I keep getting ads for AI to build me an app. The reason it used to be “impressive” to build an app was because it was time intensive and required coding, administration, and some level of understanding a market need. Having an app to have an app is like the definition of But Bro Why? And For What?

Oh hell yea fire wood snake horse

countries are now drafting an “in case the usa kirby inhales you” plan

I know it’s only Jan 3rd but listen-

[david Attenborough voice] a key component of America’s quadrennial lifecycle is invading Central America

Let me get this straight, the president is not allowed to help alleviate student debt, but we are allowed to go into Venezuela and threaten Mexico with a bad time.

Fuck everyone who voted for this.

2020 - bad 2021 - bad 2022 - bad 2023 - pretty bad 2024 - terrible, horrible 2025 - bad 2026 - ??? So… not to be a data scientist or anything but-

three episodes into culinary class war and I am about to buy tweezers and a yakumi pan set

Going to watch avatar 3. I have not seen 2, and the only thing I remember from avatar 1 is they used the papyrus font. Will report back later.

Cannot wait for Katyniss, the young tribute I mean patriot, from district 12st, Florida. And Peeter, her fellow tribute, wait I mean patriot, as they compete for the capital - no that one actually still works.

Read somewhere that in every relationship someone is the personality hire and the other knows what a mortgage is. I laughed about this to my husband, and he just looked at me in the eye and asked “what’s the current interest rate” and hey do you think you can put down “personality hire” on a w2?

Deciphering ancient, inscrutable texts today (trying to figure out what this guy is saying in an email)

Husband and I are in a Christmas gift stand off. Neither of us want the other to buy us anything so we aren’t telling each other what we want. This is the opposite of the gift of the magi. The gift of the igma.

I think the thing so many AI enthusiasts can’t grasp is that ideas are cheap and easy to come by. It’s by putting in the work to achieve them, you understand your medium better - and through that you have better, more specific and thoughtful ideas.

My husband is feeling under the weather and I offered to make him coffee. And he literally got up and said “no, please don’t.” Look, just because I don’t measure the beans, the water, or time anything doesn’t mean I make bad coffee!!!!

Larian really understands what its audience wants

Watching Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 and pointing at the screen, asking: I-is that a happy ending? In a Fujimoto work???

If we cannot figure out a way to fund the arts, it will die a slow death. I know capitalism is bad, etc. yea man, correct. But we do still live under it. And as such we should be trying to figure out ways to help each other survive it in current time.

Many of you are freaking out because you've done the math and it's going to be very hard to finish that manuscript by New Year's. That's okay. It really is. Targets are to help you get words on the page. No one will know or care that you finish days or weeks after your date. Just. Keep. Writing.

LET THEY WHO HAVE NEVER PASSED OUT DRUNK NEXT TO A TOILET CAST THE FIRST STONE. THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT.

Everyday I wonder “how long is this going to take?” Like we can all see he isn’t doing well. I am trying to be patient here but come on.

Franklin is CANADIAN, and therefore the turtle stands for Canadian values like apologizing, two official languages, and talking about how Tim Hortons used to be better.

there have to be rules about what to watch in a civilized family. because if you just put something on, you will be forced to watch 3 downed wwii pilots knife a shark to death on a raft. the entire movie is just them on a raft. i am watching knife shark on raft, the movie.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

TURKEY IS HONMOON APPROVED THIS YEAR

Watching my parents bicker about the right way to make coffee out of a mini coffee maker we have had since the Bush administration and you know it really is the tiny details that make the holiday-

Hyped for this!

Sci fi books: endless dizzying arrays of visions of technological glory Sci fi websites: the layout hasn’t changed since 1998/zero updates for years/a midi file begins to play somewhere

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

telling myself to stop doomscrolling feels like i’m a bartender trying to stop a guy from being over served. except I am both bartender, drinker, and in paying for my own internet, am also technically the alcohol distiller

you can take the pope out of chicago, but you will never take the chicago out of the pope.

Sometimes I feel like we keep spinning the wheel of news and it just keeps landing on [upsetting thing], [upsetting thing], [horrifying and deeply fucked up thing]

Hold up. I have had to sit through multiple open mics of my colleagues talking about their dick, and I have never wished death on them. Only a magic pox where they become allergic to microphones for a few months.

finished watching physical asia and now I want to eat 100 lbs of chicken, move a two ton cart, get abs, and fight god

ever since i was a little girl, i’ve wanted to lay in my bed wondering why it gets dark now at 5pm

the scientific term for the state of comedy right now is “kinda bad.”

next time i ask the universe for more old man yaoi, I am going to be a LOT more specific

I have no smart appliances or devices in my home. I truly believe my house should be as dumb as its occupant (me)
