NGL the king of england coming to America to give congress a warning on the dangers of tyranny feels like such a perfect a full circle moment we should probably take a break here. in the future this is where "Ken Burns: Donald Trump Years Part 12" ends for sure

I'm so grateful for vlogbrothers like there was no one else in my life at 17 who was saying that caring about things was cool and liking things enthusiastically was good and I can't imagine the person I'd be if I hadn't heard that at that very specific age

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Attempting to explain to a co-worker why I am not excited about the new AI letter generator without outright saying that I think it's unethical and shitty because we are on a corporate overlord monitored Teams chat... like, dude just think about it for 5 seconds

Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.

Woke up to see WA passed the millionare's tax and that it will be used to fund free school breakfasts and lunches statewide, and as long as I do not check the news for the rest of the day I can live in this moment of positivity

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo “History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

Unironically the #P4A2026 hitting 4 million dollars raised in 48 hours has given me more hope in humanity than I've had in a very long time

It's The End Of The Project For Awesome!! YOu HaVE To JoIN US!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYLH...

While buying the P4A digital download bundle today I realized I had not looked at a huge number of the things in the digital bundle that I got last year. A fun surprise! #P4A2026

“Hey just so you know you have an employee who is willing to stand up for human rights” Oh no my employer will be told I’m a good person

tonight we get to play the game of "was that fireworks for the seahawks game or is it civil war beginning" that's fun. that's a fun worry that's normal to have.

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

This chapter of history books of the future will be very bizarre for a number of reasons but imagine seeing a random dinosaur in the background of a photo from 1930s Germany with no context as to why it’s there. Minneapolis made that happen now for kids of the future

Haven’t read this many 1984 quotes since I wrote a book report on it in highschool. Crazy that apparently half of my graduating class read it and decided they side with the government.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Well time to sit down with my coffee and breakfast and check the news- ooooh no

this is what finally made me MAGA, as a single issue voter (i am left handed and hate pencils)

While cleaning out the closet I found a copy of a 20 page paper I wrote in college that was entirely fueled by how much I hated Rush Limbaugh. For some reason I kept this paper? long enough to outlive Rush Limbaugh.

Got the email about my 10 year employment anniversary. feels crazy that I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up

What if Trump single handedly makes AI photo and videos so cringe by association that no one will want to use AI content? He could turn AI into the new toothbrush mustache.

sims 4 patch notes: hey all with the EA buyout we have some big changes to announce! - new bible item added - no more same sex interactions - if you open this menu at all, we will install 37 monitoring programs immediately - if you search wickedwhims we will send feds immediately game on!

Sitting through a meeting about “exciting AI developments” and wondering how fast customers are going to manage to get a ChatGPT claim hander AI to sext them and/or encourage them to commit crimes

This may be the only overlapping opinion I have with Trump: it does not matter if you turn your back on the king or walk in front of him or whatever other etiquette there is around the royal family because the king deserves to be treated as just some random man

Travis: so I’m trying to buy a bass pedal that’s a clone of a pedal that got used one time at a concert in 1985 and never used again Me: the 4 secret handshakes to get into Mormon heaven were copied from Masons but I learned them just in case … It’s hard when your love languages don’t overlap :(

Should not have watched that video that’s for sure

Trying desperately to avoid looking at the news only to see that my tiny hometown had a butcher knife fight today? northeast.newschannelnebraska.com/story/530077...

It's International Left-handers Day! I will accept cash gifts via PayPal or bank transfer, thank you

This is the most visually satisfying thing I have ever done. All 40 Discworld collectors editions (plus a matching copy of Nation) fit exactly perfectly on 2 shelves of my bookcase. It is done.

This is by far the worst holiday for a number of reasons but right now it's because the neighbors are setting off fireworks in the parking lot right next to cars and I just want to go to bed.

Today I ate a croissant that nearly required two hands. That is all.

“NYPD, SUCK MY DICK”

Me seeing .5 seconds of a pair of @hankgreen.bsky.social cancer socks in the latest Task Master: I HAVE THE SAME SOCKS AS ALEX HORNE

What a bad day to have followed my therapists advice to avoid the news and social media.

Never expected to be doing research into how to properly value my partial ownership of a beef cattle company as a mostly vegan person, but here we are. Inheritance is a funny thing.

First successful spinach harvest from the patio! so worst case scenario if the distribution chain continues to collapse I can grow about 1/2 of a serving of spinach a year to survive

Yesterday, Therapist encouraged me not to doom scroll the news. Decided to only check the local news website once today as a compromise. Found out my neighbor in our apartment complex who died was actually murdered. Therapist was right.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

I’m allowing myself to have a little accelerationism today as a treat

It sucks knowing that I’m probably going to die in a war that gets started in a group chat that includes multiple fist bump, American flag, and prayer emojis.

Yes sir, you’re getting it

Lard being a listed ingredient in the only vegetarian option on a menu is peak Nebraska in a way that I cannot explain to anyone not from the Midwest.

Filed taxes today depite feeling like I probably could have waited a month for the IRS to maybe just no longer exist and avoided the whole ordeal

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Giant Asteroid for president 2032 just right into the White House please universe you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Looking at the #p4a2025 posts here while watching the Project for Awesome livestream is giving me old internet vibes in the best way

Probably for the best at this point

At what point in an active government coup does it become socially acceptable at work to stop answering customers’ “how are you doing” with “good, thanks” because we’re clearly both lying to each other about it

Forgot the horror of listening to Sims1 sims scream as they burn to death. It hits different than Sims4. Still going to cover this room in rugs and light fireworks repeatedly for nostalgia’s sake though.

Astrology update from my coworker: Mars is in retrograde and we may feel stifled and it will be hard to get things done. So yeah it’s not the fascism guys it’s just Mars
