I Googled "world" and it didn't say "exploded." Little victories

Anyway, sorry to post this if the world is exploding today or something, I haven't checked. It probably is, right

I think I'm in a little bit better place now than I was a few years ago, just in terms of how I deal with things, how I respond to things. It's strange to look back and sort of see your own footprints

A screenshot of the Wikipedia article about the 2004 Dave Matthews Band tour bus incident. The band paid a fine of $200,000 and made a charitable donation of $100,000. Some diligent editor has noted that the amounts would be $322,000 and $161,000, respectively, in 2024 dollars.

In hindsight it's very funny that Marvel's original 2020 plan was to follow up Endgame with an interquel (Black Widow), an agreeable introductory standalone (Shang-Chi) and a plodding bloatfest (Eternals). "This is how we'll keep the momentum going," Feige said to himself. "No brakes on this train"

Thank you Brandi ♥️ I miss ALL of you guys. Badly. It's maddening that you and I didn't get to work together for longer.

"Cry more, lib" Thanks, I probably will

Not really in the mood to post jokes lately. Sorry. It turns out unemployment is terribly isolating and I miss having people to talk to. I think it's going to be mostly earnest-posting here for a while, if anything at all

I've cried more in 2025 thus far than I think in 2023 and 2024 combined. But a lot of it has been, like, healthy crying, you know. Not tears of joy but tears that needed to be shed. Actually I kind of recommend it
