Part Two!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

These Harry Potter knockoffs are getting insane

It’s called “chowder” because I don’t understand “chow der heck” you’re supposed to eat it!!

One kinda cute thing about people my age is we love remembering and telling you what number various channels used to be.

Of COURSE I have time for a nearly two hour Simpsons video from @michaelswaim.bsky.social, in fact it’s the only thing that DESERVES time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLMc...

Hello 911 my neighbor saw me eating wings standing above the outside garbage can. Can I have witness protection?

It should be okay to ask a stranger behind you in line at the grocery store to scratch your back.

last night, at 2:17 am, all the neighborhood pups ran to my house and no one knows why. Except me, the 2:17 Smoocher.

Not the most important thing but we figured out commercial timing 300 years ago & YouTube ad breaks are so bad it almost seems purposeful.

I think there’s value in making a segment of your creative output as unprofitable as you can. There’s so much pressure about turning your hobby into a side-hustle; try making at least some of it un-hustle-able.

No one will ever make a doc about me but if they do I am requesting someone show up with John-Mellencamp-in-Billy-Joel-Doc Energy.
