absolutely losing my shit over this potato of a monkey kissing the old lady’s hand before eating the food she set out

I hope my American friends soon get to enjoy similar headlines. 🙏🏼

at last comes a day of feast sweet reprieve from diet goals save the voice braying like a beast:

As I have Americans yelling at me about their president, I am really appreciating how blocks work here. All that « angrily shrinking into a corncob » energy just vanishes as though it was never there Peace in our time(line)!

This show was so good, and despite my high expectations Demi exceeded them.

Post something random or you'll have an awful December

my favourite aspect of doordash are the variety of BOGO deals that seemingly make no attempt to offer the illusion of compelling value

I hope my American friends soon get to enjoy similar headlines. 🙏🏼

These endless remakes have become fully out of hand.

I have purchased an absurdity. This overpriced stainless steel wok with a round interior (better for cooking), flat exterior (usable with standard cooktop), and difficult to photograph mirror finish. Sadly the outer engraving (image 3) means it cannot be used as a saj cooker (image 4).

These endless remakes have become fully out of hand.

I think this started as a joke but then I became genuinely annoyed?

Sally of the Sawdust (1925) has a promising premise ruined by a clumsy execution, insulting ending, and being helmed by a complete dingus with no apparent interest in woman as full people. Largely ditching the social satire of the original play (Poppy) is just deranged.

Pitch: Rashomonji - a young woman is pulled into a mysterious visual novel game after she acquires it from a spooky market place. In the game she plays out various versions of events from her past and must confront how selective and uncharitable to herself her memories and interpretations are.

In 2010 Let Li starred in Ocean Heaven, "real men are good fathers and kind to autistic people" the movie, saying he was drawn to the low budget production because he cried reading the script. Meanwhile Jackie Chan laughs about having nothing to do with his lesbian daughter.

pareidolia - The perception of a recognisable image or meaningful pattern where none exists or is intended. - The tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer. (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition)

A once great studio should give me a million USD to make a film called Remake It Till You Rebreak It, a farce about a once great studio’s doomed efforts to remake their last viable IP no matter the artistic or ethical costs.

Having a lovely therapeutic walk in the heavy fog. Can barely see one block down the street and there is a steady light drizzle. An absolute delight.

I'm not saying French orthography is out of control but to import the English "OK" the following evolution occurred: ok -> oké -> okéy -> okéyy

Sometimes I just gaze into the distance and think about her.

I think I found my new role model.

As for the stunning lifelike image quality: I believe these were taken with my trusty Sony Ericsson W800. The absolute peak of 2005 technology, it was liking having an iPod, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet communications device ... all-in-one. 😱

While I am digging through old photos: looks at this ridiculous pocket notebook/"hipster PDA" I made by creating inserts for a passport wallet. c.2007

Smash the Patriarchy, Charlie Brown: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

If you can mange it, I highly recommend falling in love with a Dutch communist, moving to Norway where you dedicate your every breath to her, while there discover the hardingfele which resparks your childhood love of the violin, and befriend a weirdo or two specialising in their craft.

“For you, the day Charlie Brown graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for him ... it was Tuesday.”

Work has made available the shiny new … internal support AI chatbot. 😒 I asked it about submitting a ticket for a misbehaving device and it directed it to me to an app that no longer exists because we migrated to a new provider. Excellent. Truly, I stand basking in the golden light of THE FUTURE.

Getting an early start to the day by gazing pensively out my window at a ground that though bitterly cold each day remains, in defiance of all that is decent, utterly bereft of snow.

I have no joke. This genuinely represents my relationship goals.

I completely missed that this month marks 6 years in the US, and if I have learned anything in that time it is that I have been deemed completely unworthy of human companionship. Failing to form a single friendship lasting more than a few months and even those connections being tenuous at best.

I hope someone enjoyed this joke because @rufustsuperfly.bsky.social blocked me for it.

The Irishman? Just Scorsese yet again revisiting having Robert De Niro slowly be hollowed out as the quiet desperation of breaking the heart of a good woman, seemingly with knowledge that neither the film or audience offer any road to redemption, plays out in his eyes. Snooze.

I tell people: the French hate slavery so much we abolished it twice, just don’t ask how it became legal the second time.

But obviously the best of the best is: We’re in the French or Chinese resistance during WWII. Let’s be melodramatic about the inevitability of death, and also love.

Let’s start a band and make our way out of this small town! We’re French, let’s be melodramatic about love. We’re French, let’s be melodramatic about love. — despite and/or because there’s a war on. Let’s cheer for lady vengeance. We’re French, let’s be melodramatic about love. — In space!

Good morning, timeline. Please accept a photo of these two cats in lieu of my participation in any of the ongoing discussions: #Athens #Caturday #cats

You simply cannot ask me to take TNA seriously. It is too much. How dare you.

I guess my version of this is when esr (Eric S. Raymond) told my team that no male in tech should ever be alone in a room with a female colleague due to the risk of false allegations of sexual assault. Which it would later come out was not an isolated outburst.

Should I start printing and distributing unionisation flyers at the Starbucks near my work?

10 years on from the 12 Nov. and 13 Nov. terrorist attacks on Lebanon and France, and I wonder if we learned anything and if there is any hope. We are so easily divided, so easily coaxed into the arms of the far right, and so eager to turn a blind eye to which states continue sponsoring terrorism.

Stay a while, and mourn with me. And perhaps, just perhaps, walk away inspired to start your own weird blog.

If you find yourself in one of the good corners of ig, you will see east and west Asians excitedly swapping history about how our foods influenced one another in ancient times and perhaps should once more. Here we have a Lebanese dish of dumplings in a yaourt or garlic sauce.

Why is my ig just women all over the world thirsting over that New Zealand women’s firefighter calendar? Oh, right, that was me. I told ig I wanted this.

Recueillement devant la tombe du Soldat inconnu sous l'Arc de Triomphe. En ce 11 novembre, nous honorons la mémoire des soldats morts pour la France. 🇫🇷 Paris ne les oubliera jamais.

HEMA = Historical European Martial Arts and this is a comment on a video from a competition in Finland. ???

I am once again finding myself inspired by the audacious design of these NTCK posters for their production of Macbeth.

Gas stoves emit methane, nitrogen dioxide and fine particulates at levels known to contribute to asthma and cardiovascular disease. 🧪 NEW STUDY: The annual indoor health cost of a single gas stove = $5,258 A big part this is from childhood asthma. www.zmescience.com/medicine/gas...

I planned to ignore Frankenstein but immediate praise from people I respect caught my attention, so I saw it. And I hate it. In this I see nothing interesting about the novel or its author. Just an aimless rehash made needlessly Christian and Victorian that centres men and their father issues.

Just vibing to this irate man yelling into his phone in forceful but not profane Arabic when he abruptly switches to English to shout « Get your fuck out of my phone! » and hangs up. 10/10, relatable.
