This is the Chaos Muppet / Order Muppet Theory of Relationships and I believe in it 100%.

I threw my Uncle for a loop when I told him I suspected my Mom was autistic, and I explained that a lot of "odd" behaviors people exhibited in the past we now see more clearly. Him: Oh, like the neighbor I had as a kid whose entire house was filled with dozens of coo-coo clocks? Me: [slow nodding]

Forensic technician: "Sir, why does it say 'DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA' on the casings?" Special Agent in Charge: [tired sigh] "Well, 'ere we go, lads. 'Ere we zoggin' go..."

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. My homemade morning cold brew 2. Browsing through a used bookstore 3. Scoring a great deal at a thrift shop 4. My cats being all cute and adorable and sleepy 5. Having an adventure day with my gal or a dear friend

After being on the Internet for thirty-two years, I gotta say I've never seen anything good come from arguing with strangers about shit that neither of you have the power to control. Unplugging for a day or two right now is honestly the best thing you can do with your time and energy.

I KNOW OKAY I KNOW

First time one of these 99 cent deals has ever been done for Entropy of Everything. Still super cheap til midnight tonight. (The funny thing looking back at the Indestructibles books is I never had a guarantee the next one would be picked up so every book is set up with series-finale stakes.)

Y'all know what to do.

I feel* like there's a through line between grown adults who just plain don't eat any vegetables and where we are as a society today. *This is just Saturday night shitposting don't fucking come at me rn I'm just having a late-night delivery pizza with some vegetables on it.

Hexavalent chromium is one of the best-documented human carcinogens. It can cause multiple forms of cancer, and, unlike a lot of other kinds of exposures, the risk is cumulative, even for low level exposures. Recent data has also shown unsafe amounts of hexavalent chromium is produced by wildfires.

Entirely based on a wild time travel conversation I had earlier this week, the Entropy of Everything is 99 cents all weekend. Being an author right now feels like being a carnival barker at the end of the world, but hey, if you're looking for a distraction for a few hours...

Forget listening to yet another lifeless podcast about horror movies or politics, what you need to do is listen to LATE. Two hours of perfectly-curated music, plus stories, readings, trivia tidbits, and most of all, heart. Taffeta's weekly radio show is the real deal and absolutely worth a listen.

Some mix tape that a married co-worker lady made for him for...reasons.

IYKYK.

THE GREATEST EDUCATIONAL KIDS SHOW OF ALL TIME!

How you know someone cares about you:

I'm sorry to be petty but I need to rant about this for a moment! Not every man wants to look like a fucking cop or a Marine, fucking LISTEN to your client, look at the photos they show you, and if they tell you they don't want hair product at the end, DON'T DO IT ANYWAY. FAAAAHHHHK!!!!! 😠😡🤬

I'll never trust a bald hairstylist. 😐😑

I'm sorry that I don't know a polite way to say this but if you repost the same dozen or so posts over and over again every day so that every fucking time I open this app and scroll for thirty seconds I see that you've reposted them again, you're goddamn annoying and I will unfollow you.

These two little goobers are found family, both for us and each other, and they might squabble sometimes, but there's always love. This photo is eight years old, but the sentiment remains unchanged. 💕

I just tried putting my long-distance glasses on over my reading glasses, if you want to know how my day has gone so far.

Just an F/A-18 doing F/A-18 things.

How do you even get out of bed and go to work when your cat is being adorable like this.

Got my flu and COVID jibityjabs this evening! 💉💉

When you’re 4,000 pounds but still love to play 🦏 Tensing, our greater one-horned rhino loves her enrichment, from chasing a ball, rolling a barrel, and splashing in her pool. Enrichment keeps animals like Tensing active, engaged, and curious, and it’s a joy to watch!

Yeah unfortunately I did twenty minutes on the treadmill before hopping in the shower this morning and I feel great, so sadly this will just have to continue.

For no reason at all I'm reminded of a kid I lived with my freshman year of college whose family was originally from Argentina and he was part German 👀 and said he would probably have been a Nazi back then and one night I got home and he'd utterly destroyed all his stuff and he quit by Thanksgiving.

Real fun seeing a guy throw a dark boxy object into the front door of the train I'm on going home tonight like five feet away from me. Just let out a sigh and expected to die in an explosion but instead it was something for the driver from an MBTA worker who couldn't bother to step in and hand over?

"Cinema!" Can we be serious for a second? This is 5:30 into Alex Garland's WARFARE. There's several minutes of the film right here that's lit (or rather, not lit) like this. Can we fucking stop with this nonsense? Unless you're in a blacked out movie theater, this is impossible to watch. Do better!

I picked up a camp hatchet for my camping trip next month and I'm probably going to be kinda annoying about it because LOOK AT IT! 🤩

Finished ABLE TEAM #4 last night, and it still holds up as peak classic Men's Adventure nonsense. Moving on to read the next in the series, CAIRO COUNTDOWN.

NEW LATE! This one's all about science - music from Bjork, Beastie Boys, Laurie Anderson, Blackalicious + more; I'll read from Carl Sagan & Kurt Vonnegut and play you the terrifying sound of a black hole Free, no ads, no Ai, independent radio. Listen up & share! www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wt...

YES YES YES

Please take the time to read all of this and Claire's comments downthread. I am DREADING the next call with my Dad because he's a Very Smart Person who is Very Offline (aside from FB and YouTube) and therefore misses vast portions of the convos around problem people and topics as a result.

Very sad to inform everyone that I just spent forty minutes on my treadmill and right now I feel like I could take on the world, so yeah there's unfortunately a nugget of truth to the whole "exercise makes you feel better" propaganda machine*. *This isn't exercise evangelicalism pls don't hate me.

if youd like to get a bit more background on how young men get radicalized online but don't want to dive into hell facefirst alone i have a book about it (it's five years old, but speaks to methods & human motivations that are still current, i think) www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

Just, uhhhh, bought a hatchet.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Staaaahhhhhpppp no this is just too ridiculous. 🙄

This is still dope as fuck.

So, a certain redheaded bearded comedic TikTok/IG content creator (who's primary schtick is playing the tough white family man who is secretly gay) just posted an IG story where he said "RIP Charlie you were a generational inspiration" and I can't stop thinking about what a FUCKIN HYPOCRITE he is.

Hey y'all remember when Donald Trump hissed like a fuckin' snake? That was kinda weird, right?

I kinda dig antique and unusual cars so I did watch Seinfeld's Netflix show, and it really drove (no pun intended) home how much of a fucking asshole he is. Buddy your net worth is almost a BILLION DOLLARS. Just go and enjoy it? Leave the rest of us alone???

I get that there's probably a higher than expected number of people in the entertainment industry who purposefully stay off social media and don't see JKR's hate shared on a regular basis, but I can't believe they don't have ANYONE in their lives who is aware of her rhetoric and would inform them. 🤬

So the latest co-worker to give their notice doesn't even have another job lined up, they just flat-out quit because apparently their mental health is so bad right now, their partner insisted on them quitting for their safety. So, that's how things are going these days! Great fun! 😅😬😑

Lazy? LAZY??? HEY JEANINE, WHO'S SO FUCKING LAZY THEY JUST TELL CHATBOTS TO SHIT OUT POD CONTENT BECAUSE THEY WON'T MAKE THE EFFORT TO WORK WITH REAL PEOPLE MAKING IT.
