Today’s unwanted take:
When walking or biking, if a driver properly yields right-of-way, I give the little thank-you wave.
No, it’s not required, you do you. Yes, everyone should do the bare minimum. But I believe in positive reinforcement and moments of social connection.

He was the best I’ve seen.
🎶 Up on the mic repeating two words,
over and over again
Was this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in the articulated manner in which she said them
These two words,
a little bit behind the beat
I mean just enough to turn you on 🎶

Just saw MICHAEL. Wasn’t what I was expecting at all. Don’t think John Travolta was the right choice to play the king of pop but I still enjoyed it overall.
People on Bluesky seem to (pretend to?) be upset about this guy all the time. I don’t know, or care, who he is.
Then we see a poll and it’s not just me...nobody knows who he is! Why are people who claim to dislike this guy's views working so hard to amplify his voice?
I like this quote, but it should be acknowledged that race absolutely does exist as a sociological concept even if not a scientific one. We must recognize the implications of that for society as a whole, and certain groups specifically.

Found at the Beach
Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe

Every good beach needs a few beach babes. The Walrus of Love will invite them.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Laughed hearing Lightning fans in Tampa chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A!" during last night's 4-3 OT loss to Canadiens. The Lightning roster last night had 10 Canadians on it and three Americans. Their head coach is also Canadian and their goalie and best player are both Russian. #Habs
Playing anthems before league games is bizarre.
Something like the World Cup? Ok sure. But a Sabres game? The USA is rather odd with its pre-sports propaganda.

Day 20
Something Hard to Lift
Bubbles
– Nearly God

At least, I remember as a kid failing trying to catch and lift them when they were floating in the air.

If you threw him nothing but chin music, then he’d just have a lot of walks.
Scrivener is a force for good. It encourages ways of writing that align with creative energy.
Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
Bipedal robots are making strides (obvious pun obviously intended), with ~100 competing alongside human runners in the Beijing half marathon.
The fastest (from Honor, a Huawei subsidiary) beat the human world record by several minutes. #running #technology

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country.
Nobody takes it seriously.
I am sad that we were robbed of Phillip Seymour Hoffman before he got to play old man roles.
🎞️ L'actrice Nadia Farès, retrouvée inconsciente dans une piscine parisienne il y a une semaine et plongée depuis dans le coma, est morte vendredi soir à 57 ans. Elle était connue en France et à l'étranger depuis le film "Les Rivières pourpres" en 2000.

Learning that Christian nationalists get their bible knowledge from Pulp Fiction does admittedly explain a few things.

What do you think the chances are that he will support higher taxes on xAI to support this?
He’s just blowing smoke.
Indeed. There's a fourth thing, too: money for war or the military.

🎶 Now move your big ass ‘round this way so I can work on that zipper, baby 🎶

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

Day 14
Something You Read
Take A Stroll Through Your Mind
– The Temptations
1970
Playing with “reading your mind”, of course, but also sharing this just because I forget sometimes that some of The Temptations’ music is pretty out there.
