Jesus: "That's what I keep telling you. Humans are weird. They'll be absolutely horrible to each other, then turn around and do the right thing, not out of principle but as a favour to someone they've never met but kinda like." God: "Well yes. That's why I sent you down there to die, son." /3

The Meta-metamorphosis: listening to the audiobook version of Kafka's novel with a pair of dying airpods at work, anxiously waiting for them to warn me they're powering off so I can pause the book before everyone finds out I'm listening to that weird story about the guy who became a cockroach.

Do you think future archaeologists will go around excavating our landfills for storage devices to see what we saved? A bunch of "History of the 21st C" scholars, arguing whether this time period is better represented by our social media selves or the shit we saved on our USB sticks?

I descended into the subterranean depths and stepped abord the raft. I heard the droning; a song I had known long ago, and knew, and would know. And I thought... "Is the Small World ride some kind of chthonic mystery cult?"

I'm watching a YouTube video and the creator accidentally combined community and audience to coin the term "communidence". That sounds like a decent way to describe the average Youtuber/YouTube viewer relationship.
