Enough about me. Let's talk about you! Indiferent to my own pronouns but happy to embrace yours.

@xbox.com Hey assholes! Your shitty Call of Duty ad overrode the custom background my kid made for me. When I turned on the XBox my kid thought I had changed it. Way to make a 9 year old cry. You have absolutely guaranteed that I will never buy or play *any* game that advertises that way.

I already pay a fucking subscription fee for XBox Live and Game Pass, and you have the absolute gall to advertise to me over my kid's artwork? Eat a bag of moldy dicks. Keep this kinda crap up and I'm gonna smash my XBox (not sell it back to you fuckwagons) and buy a Playstation.

And yes, I know there's a setting I can change to fix it. I had to go to Reddit to find it, but it's there. If you want to jam tasteless crap down people's throats, make it opt-in you lead-licking shithoarders.

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.

I'm over here fucking *nailing* it!

men try to work out obsessively or save up for fancy cars but it’s not about that fellas. be an acerbic, principled smartass with at least one self destructive habit. THAT is what women want

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

If you're worried about people remembering every embarrassing thing you did, think about it. Can you remember other people's embarrassing moments? No. That's because you're the only one who's ever done something embarrassing. What the fuck is wrong with you lmao

I don't pretend to know the truth of this guy's situation. But I know the truth underlying his words.

This is what dignity and self-respect looks like. Protect this man at all costs.

This. Classism excuses enormous, society-crippling injustices. There is no reason I, as a lawyer, should earn more or command more respect than a ditch digger. There's even less reason a skeeving tech billionaire should have orders of magnitude more than either of us.

The secret to happiness in life is learning to like/enjoy as many different things as you can.

in general i’m anti peak-seeking behavior/tendencies… if you get too into something and start caring too much about the quality of the medium (whether it’s coffee, audio, film, etc), you often slip into not being able to enjoy things as easily

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

The world seems pretty dark lately. It's extra important to share stories of human kindness. I went to submit my passport application today. I didn't realize one can't pay that fee with a credit card. I was $30 short in my bank account...

This passport employee looked at me for a long moment, then pulled $30 out of his own wallet and said I could pay him back next time I come by. I had to work hard not to cry right there. Good people are all over the place. Don't lose hope, y'all. (Gonna pay him back plus cookies)

This is obviously the correct name for our recent vigilante CEO slayer. My prediction is that, if/when The Claim Adjuster is caught, we'll learn that he is terminally ill, was denied care, and just figured he has nothing to lose. Tangentially: everyone should start reading up on jury nullification

The election you should be focusing on takes place on Tuesday. You can probably vote for the school board, the library board, maybe sheriff, local officials and offices that shape your community. Do you have a plan to vote?

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is." And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"

6yo: *crawls through livingroom on knees, soles facing ceiling* Mom: What are you doing? 6: *continues towards bedroom* I'm crawling so I don't get glue on the floor. M: ...what? 6: *still crawling* I put glue on my feet so I can walk on my wall! M: What? Wait...hang on! *gives chase*

6yo, noticing sticky red dribbles on her strawberry smoothie cup: Eew! There's blood on my smoothie! Me: What, you don't want a blood smoothie? 6yo: No! Blood tastes...well...kinda salty and delicious... Me: ... 6yo: ... ...but I still don't want a blood smoothie. Me: Good.

I am, myself, a small-business owner. I'm one of the guys that the naysayers hide behind to try to make awesome social program ideas (e.g., UBI) seem foolish. Fuck that. Bring it on. Redistribute my wealth, motherfuckers! Please!

Eggs Benedict with crab. Hashbrowns. A bloody mary. Served in bed with flowers, a card, and snuggles from the kiddo. Being a dad is great. 🩷 Happy Fathers' Day to all the excellent papas out there.

I must not reply. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will scroll past the take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. When the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

You are up to date.
