3. The Breakfast Club

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Artemis II today.

RESIST! 💪

Look, whatever you have to call him to invoke him. Nobody is judging.

I was 8 years old when this ad came out, so not surprising that I was Today Years Old when I realised "nothing gets between me and my Calvins" isn't implying 15-year-old Brooke Shields is committed to the brand, but rather that she isn't wearing knickers 🤢

I logged into The Sims 4 via Steam and ALL my content was gone because the EA account dependency in the background had a login failure. The email address was on an expired domain.

Why does he look like a therapist who couldn't qualify because he couldn't pass the background check so he's peddling himself as a counsellor.

Oddly enough, this year Holy Thursday is also marked by betrayal, alarm, despair, resignation.

This Pope is NOT FUCKING AROUND and I am HERE FOR IT.

(Also you do not want to be compared the The Roman Empire; historically that is... not a good look.)

Anyway, happy Easter to all the Social Justice Catholicism homies.

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

CHEWY!

Also at this visit, World's Best GP stuck me on the list for a minor op and then asked me how I feel about Spain.

I do have warm feelings about sangria.

See? A rare and precious day.

There's a member on @metafilter.bsky.social with the username "tired and gay" and that is one of the best things from such a good day.

@drcarpineti.bsky.social Did you see this little love letter from the universe <3
