This is why I hate the term "expat". Like, no. You're an immigrant. It just serves as this weird way for rich people to pretend that what they're doing is somehow different than everyone else.

the right attitude

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

If you don't want your kids on social media, that's an individual parenting choice I will think you're foolish for making, but you can make it. You don't get to make that choice for someone else's parenting and someone else's kids.

F1 movie is exactly as expected but: the only REAL F1 people with lines were team principals Zack, Fred, and Toto. So those 3 got SAG cards now. NONE of the real drivers got to be anything more than extras? ALL of them shoulda had lines!

Dunno why mobsters are always threatening this. It looks lovely

After making out with seventeen frogs, eight toads, and a few salamanders, the princess began to think fairytales were bullshit.

@geraldinepiche.bsky.social I had a thought

Tapping the sign

For a while, they said if you needed tech help, ask a 10yo. But current 10-20yos didn't have to explore and click around and futz with things to get them to work, so if it's not immediately obvious, they can't do it. Basically if you're 30-50 you're just doing tech support for everyone forever.

I cannot stress enough that is some rando responds to something you reposted trying to draw you into a “but have you considered” discussion of it, they are not acting in good faith, and you just block. Please, embrace the blue sky way. block. block. block.

@alasdairstuart.bsky.social You've often got a lot to say about the peculiarity of island life. I'm curious - what do you think of the fictitious (and hyperbolic) isle of Qwghlm in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon/Baroque Cycle

Dino brain size of walnut... Pleistocene walnut size of Volkswagen

i get the impression that vice-dickweed is spending a lot of time in direct proximity to the shithead-in-chief... isn't this somewhat contrary to standard policy, for, reasons?
