Was interested in a girl in my class but was too shy to ask her out so I found out where she lived and shopped for groceries so I could arrange "accidental" meetings. Reorganised my schedule a lot for that. I stopped because she knew nothing about Star Trek.

The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92

UNSUNG HERO: Iris Long was an unlikely AIDS activist. A married chemist from Queens, she barely knew any gay people. She joined ACT UP to use her expertise to fight for treatments. May her memory be a blessing.

reddit comment: Wow. Never thought the day would come when somebody would ask. Because in the early postwar years, Japanese burger chains reportedly borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of kissaten food displays, where slight imperfection was seen as proof of hand-assembled care rather than factory uniformity. A perfectly centered patty looked too mechanical, too "American showroom. So display artists began setting the fillings just a little off-center to suggest freshness, softness, and the idea that the burger had been gently placed together that morning by a real person. Over time, that tiny asymmetry became its own visual language Advertisers found that a slightly askew burger made the layers easier to see at a glance in wax displays and printed menus, especially in cramped storefronts and train-station food courts. By the late 1970s, design manuals in the fast-food industry supposedly even recommended a "living tilt" to make buns appear more appetizing and less rigid. Just kidding. I don't know. I made that all up. Fuck you

ending every finance blog I write from now on with "Just kidding. I don't know. I made that all up. Fuck you"

My kinda day today.

Boy, let's promote and relegate with the WPSL while we're at it.

I'm only really watching because it apparently splashed down (less than a minute ago) here in San Diego. Whee!

this is absurd

Hey, today is a great day to protect your health and the health of others. It is quite easy to do. Put a respirator mask on your face when you go out.

Now is the time to act with integrity and care. Our leaders do neither. We can do both.

Thank you all for supporting our film made for the Disability Film Challenge.
