I wanna write little jokes. We have to do SKITS? What is this shit.

Everyone at my gym laughed at me when I said “I miss text-based social media.”

I squatted 270.

Touch water Thinking more about Temescal Pool, a place where you can think less.

Forget touching grass—"touching grass means noticing how little grass there is to touch and how everyone around you is usually somewhere else." Touch water instead.

The difference between millennials and gen z is when millennials were in college and we mismanaged our time, we just dealt with it. Gen z writes the professor, “I can’t come to class today, I need to study for an exam for another class,” and is shocked it’s not an excused absence.

I do not know how to work today. This can't be fucking happening.

Subscribe to ORB! It is cool and interesting and local (in the not annoying way)

if you become a member and ever run into me IRL you can be like, “hey, I subscribe to ORB and I enjoy it” and I can be like, “me too!”

You should note that at least one tier of subscription gives you access to a Loyalty Points Plan (that name is not official, and feels very squishy the moment I type it). Basically, as long as you maintain that subscription, we'll create/adjust your account with us to accrue points w/ rewards.

In Parable of the Sower, Lauren Olamina holds out hope that--in the midst of the complete collapse of society around her--the billionaires and the US government succeed in colonizing space. I, for one, do not!

Electric car, electric car, ELecTric cAr, ELeCtRIC CaR, (booming) ELECTRIC CAR ELECTRIC CAR ELCTRC CR ECLTR CR ELCRTRCRCRARARCR

If any hundred billionaire would like to come forward and personally finance a mass transition to green energy and literally save the world, they could form a literal religion around themselves and honestly that would be fine with me.

Putting this here because I have seen no one else do bench with a prosthesis, and I am still looking for others who feel my pain.

And the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org

Oakland is not done with all the winning it's been doing lately.

Hard agree. It also feels like a good time to re-up Aaron Bady's incisive essay on Sinners for the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org. www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/sinners-one-...

Reskeeting so I get to say #solarhockeystickofhope

I use Gemini when I'm bored — and it's better than doomscrolling It became my ultimate distraction

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

Me, shaking every Trump voter as I slowly slip to my knees in tears: please for the love of god let us have smart people in charge of one (1) thing

Extremely surprised it took this long for a public Rene Redzepi reckoning. Like, I didn't know, but obviously, right?

One of my closest friends from high school recently got their first girlfriend since they were a teenager and then completely shut me out of their life. Won't look at my texts; won't even respond to voicemail. I even checked online if he had died. I just wanted to say I am very hurt by this.

Really good day to get an electric car!

I think we all should take the (correct) position that being incurious or hateful about foreign cultures is stupid and pathetic. In fact, working to understand and respect cultures other than your own takes commitment, grit, and thoughtfulness. Knee-jerk racism is actual snowflake shit.

Today would be *such* a good day for it to happen.

I weirdly got in under the wire on this one. Mom got me a recorder as a book deal gift!

The Epstein regime cannot go more than a couple of months without destroying the lives of children.

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

Mining Zimbabwe for health data that doesn't even benefit Zimbabweans is textbook neocolonialism.

Sooner or later the cat will make herself useful and find him, probably.

The gecko in our house got out of his cage and, while there is urgency to find him, we are all gonna take care of some emails first.

Interested in reading this essay.
