good morning, logging on to catch up on what i missed on a serene autumn saturday morning

every single day that i log on here is less comprehensible than the previous one

I already shared that but people like this! When Pepsi signed a distribution deal with USSR, trade embargo was in place so monetary transfers were not feasible. Pepsi was paid in decommissioned military equipment and for a short glorious while Pepsi was the 6th largest military power in the world

Confused Jack Burton is so relatable

i don’t love the way you’re all talking about the act of sleeping with ran thru older men because of this tho. there’s nothing wrong with a man who carries a large print pill organizer. who requires three separate levels of glasses to look at his phone for five minutes

speaking as a fundamentally unethical woman similarly burdened with a crippling daddy kink let me just say this is all very funny

again, we could avoid thousands of such incidents per year if editors were granted license to kill

I wouldn’t write that shit down in a diary that was already on fire

[gently holds ur hand and looks deeply into ur eyes] no more epithets

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

My favorite might be in the first episode of the rebooted Doctor Who in 2005 when Rose Tyler encounters The Doctor and then goes and searches “doctor” and one of the first hits is a website about him

i love when people use search engines in movies but i love when people use search engines in hallmark movies most of all

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately Taco Bell decree: Where Blast, the Baja river, ran So everyone across the land    Could live both más and free

STOP asking me if i know whats going on. i dont want to!

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

I did a tattoo based on @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social ‘s Southern Reach series (my favourite book series ever) yesterday and I’m feeling very excited about it 🐇🥀

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

wait I thought we had already established that James Bond is a Dread Pirate Roberts situation

It's the fiftieth anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald sinking, memorialized in Gordon Lightfoot's song. Here's the haunting bluegrass version by the Punch Brothers.

can we get the etsy witches to do something with the baileys do you think

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

SOMEONE is so proud of himself after waking up early to mash all of mommy’s organs into a fine goo

A pack of 10,000 rats has dragged Andrew Cuomo into the subway

happy five years to all who celebrate

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Freedom, Safety, and Vengeance

As a show of respect, and because it would piss off Trump, Mamdani should adopt a shelter cat to live in Gracie Mansion and name it Curtis

it is actually very funny that Cuomo finally got Mamdani to give up his rent stabilized apartment because he's going to move into Gracie Mansion

everybody gets twenty-four hours to lib out with impunity, tonight is the cringe purge
