I want to own an everyday object that makes those wobbly half-full kettle metal sheet sounds. That would fix me

I want to see an absolute shit show tonight-Dems booing, calling out “liar” fist-fights and getting booted out of the house by jack-booted security. Show America how bad things actually are! #StateOfTheUnion

just got to experience the mortifying sound of a command strip giving up on life and sending my empty backpack to its doom

Recovering from a cold with a little more #photography. Anyone recognize this building?

I have a slightly old robot vacuum that I run daily in the morning, and instead of happily cleaning the apartment it beelines for my bedroom, locks itself inside and bangs around under my bed for 30 minutes until it dies.

This is the best gym mentality. Wanna lift big things? Be a big robot.

Here are the updated "daily color stripes" with data through from January 1, 1940 to January 28, 2025.

Your 'doom quote' for today:

"Beyond destabilizing the climate, humans are unraveling the web of life on Earth; we are the asteroid currently set on a collision course."

A beige structure with repeating 5 window segments stands over a snowy wall by the branches of a tree in winter. Snow is on the ground under the wall, and can be seen peeking over the roof of the building. White clouds wisp across a blue sky behind the structure.

The corner of a brick building stands pronounced against a blue sky, icicles hanging from some of its windows

Your 'doom quote' for today:

"The problem is that nature, the independent force that has surrounded us since our earliest days, cannot coexist with our numbers and our habits."
