The concept of reincarnation was just ancient Indian tech-support advice to “Turn it off, then back on again,” to see if it fixed things.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Impunity: When fairies gather around a single cause.

Isn't it a bit weird how so many populist efforts to gain power involve voter suppression? Like, if you really were supported by the vast majority, who are sick of being downtrodden by a tiny elite, then surely you'd want as many people voting as possible?

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I voted early and got the flu and covid vaccines. Odd that what used to be routine, and even minimal, ways of participating in society now feel defiant.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, give them a hard time for taking so long, say "it's fine", then ignore them.

The best thing about the clocks going back is that when you wake up as usual at 3am, paralysed by dread, you find it’s only 2am and oh god the aching void of night will never end.

Some people forget that a key part of being a pedant is knowing things. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen stay exactly the same in your lifetime? I say rubber bands. They were fine back then and they’re fine now.

I come from a long line of women who were waiting way too long to use the public restroom.

Celebrity accounts that don't use alt text should pay their social team more to do so.

Somebody needs to make a film called "Enough with the nerds".

I realize time is a weird soup but how the hell was Tom Skerrit *93*?

Skerrit, a prolific actor with dozens of screen credits, was also an Emmy winner for his lead role on the cult favorite series “Picket Fences.”

Posts not getting enough attention? As Morgan Freeman once said, “If you want people to think your bland, trivial little thoughts are interesting, put them in a fake celebrity quote.”

The Japanese title of "Dexter" is "Dexter, The Policeman is a Murderer." I don't know why, but I laughed for a minute straight at that.

What do you mean my unlikeable demeanor makes it hard for people to like me?!

At least three dozen videos of people expressing support for Representative Haley Stevens, a Democratic candidate who ran against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in a Michigan primary and lost, were from accounts that were based mostly in India, according to research organizations that track disinformation.

I had to set up two Windows laptops this year, and before I even got to turning off all the AI crap, I had to remember to change everything so that all my files weren't saved to OneDrive by default. It's insulting, how disrespectful that is.

The Flintstones meet the Jetsons and they both die from diseases passed to each other that their bodies have no resistance to due to the massive time difference

One time when I was a kid my Dad made a point to introduce me to a 100 year old man who proceeded to give me a quarter. I remember thinking I should keep the quarter and take care of myself so I could give it to a kid when I turned 100. I was a weird kid.

Someone needs to do a documentary about Ken Burns.

Canadian right-wing alternative media personalities and influencers are waking up this morning asking themselves what will be the next big crisis they can create to keep their audiences riled up

This is a reminder that in 1997 they had a dancing baby make a guest appearance on a popular TV show and it's all anybody talked about for an entire year

Whew. It was starting to get really embarrassing to explain.

The downside of having friends who love sarcasm and irony is that when we make plans I'm never entirely sure we really made plans.

Just quit Fight Club and can’t wait to dish!

I regret to inform you that the real world is rarely as spectacular as its slickly edited, 8K drone footage would have you believe.

Gladwell has 10,000 hours experience making arguments based on factual errors.

Life is just one improv game after another.

Misattribute a quote to a film. “Here’s looking at you, kid.” —The Shining (1980)

I need a word for the thing you vaguely knew you didn't know, though you never thought about it enough about it to try and find out, but somehow felt replete and also strangely disappointed when it was unexpectedly discovered for you by Nat
