The more I rewatch Murder, She Wrote, the more I think it may have been Jessica Fletcher who infected me with the woke mind virus. Bless her. 🙏🏻

Endings that live rent free in my head

Every single person on Reddit has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum and I worry that maybe every single person under 30 has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum.

The people who used to own my house tried to make a shower in the basement but just ended up with a concrete cube with mismatched tiles and a mounted soap dish but no drain or shower head. So it's a foster bunny house now.

One of them got the job because his friend's dad called in a favor. But MERITOCRACY AMIRITE 🇺🇸🎇🫡

Okay, so some hacking twerp has access to my college email address, student ID, and private Canvas messages. What are they gonna do, pay tuition? Post where I messaged my professor about a paper topic? Spoooooky 🫣 What fuckin losers.

But I’ve come around to believing that shame over *behavior*—not embarrassment, which is “oops, I made a mistake”), but shame (“does something I chose to do make me look like not the person I want to be”)—is actually vital for a functioning society.

If you see a celebrity in the wild and do anything other than just pretend you didn't see them, as if they're just another regular person, you are an unreasonable person. Interacting is only okay if they invite you somehow or are in an environment where interaction is expected. Hard stop.

During jury selection, so many people filled out the questionnaire with a variation of, "It is my heartfelt belief that Elon Musk is a piece of shit," that the judge had to be like, "ok well just stipulate that nobody likes him but we trust them to be fair anyway" www.theverge.com/tech/919469/...

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

The kind of people who use generative AI frequently are the same kind of people I won't teach how to do anything at work because it's literally faster to do it myself.

A message from Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina projected onto Jeff Bezos’s $120 million penthouse before tonight’s #MetGala, chaired by Bezos.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Around minute 94 of THE MUPPET MOVIE (1979), during the closing credits, we see Miss Piggy speaking briefly to Janice in the screening room, and the film finally passes the Bechdel Test.

This is the second time I've had a professor tell me I didn't internally cite my academic sources. Use Ctrl+F, my guy, because I absolutely did. I didn't even argue about it this time to get my grade corrected, but I'm getting pretty sick of people grading my work without reading it.

I'm forever in awe of people brave enough to untangle themselves from the system and work independently. Insurance has been my greatest hurdle to working for myself, but with more health care providers switching to the direct primary care model, I'm getting closer to being that brave myself.

Overjoyed that I'll soon get to check seeing this weirdo live off my bucket list.

The concept of never enjoying the art of a problematic artist has only led more people to insist clearly problematic artists have never done anything wrong

Who needs a “Mentalist”* when you have a cartoonist who knows what government officials are thinking? My cartoon from February. *Latest Fad @theonion.com

thinking about the gould quote again

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining. And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels. He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

Happy Earth Day! And on a totally hypothetical note: If your local organizers use generative AI to create promotion for Earth Day events, they are deeply unserious and you shouldn't support them. 💕

Yep 💀
