I promised my girlfriend the violin

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Never give up. Never give in. As long as we can still find love for each other we can build our country back up.

Can we talk about the parallels of interest between Trump and Putin for choosing these actions? It’s not a conspiracy anymore

We’ve officially hit our $500,000 goal, but there’s still one day left! 🚀

Balatro is a co-op game.

Do you think if everyone wrote a fortune and gave a cookie to the person that means the most to them the world would be a better place?

Everything is poisonous, it’s the dosage that matters.

The primary composition of the painting is in the contrast between the solemn jester (Stańczyk) – the focus of the painting – and the lively ball going on in the background. (Jan Matejko circa 1862)

What it feels like to lose at Balatro

A thought that centers me when I’m feeling that existential dread of things I can’t control is: “Do the most for the people around you”

You can’t save the world, but you can make it better for the folks around you.

Affect the things you can control and you’ll feel better no matter how small.

Sorry to say but yes, it’s true. We’ll have Flamin’ Hot fortune cookies coming to stores in 2027. All the message will be equally spicy. “You should have seen this coming”

Kinda waiting for one of those moments at a comedy show so I can be asked what I do.

Check out the SHINBANGUMI album! There’s nothing like it.

Real.

At our local theater we had a DJ for the pre show to Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555

Twas lit

@hankgreen.bsky.social I think if we really wanted to do something about climate change and got all the coffee companies to agree to stop selling for a week it would draw enough attention to the problem

What’s new with fortune cookies?

I had a customer order 1 cookie and they needed it the NEXT DAY so shipping was expensive but it was for a wedding proposal so we were happy to oblige.

(We sent 2 just in case)

How often do you refer to or think about this @xkcd.com comic on "dependency" and how all of modern digital infrastructure relies on a project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003 www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.p...

me: i have a bunch of anxiety rn

brain: how bout a coffee

me: idk sounds like a bad idea

brain: iced coffee

me: ok yeah that makes more sense

I think it's incentivized because with blinders on your vision is limited to what's on the shelf in the same way a 7/11 is laid out specifically with products at eye level if that comparison makes any sense. We are all in a soulless digital convenience store at this point. #makefriendsatfarmersmarkt

looks delicious
