Ok so we're doing this one

A massive cherry sits in the grand canyon in a gorgeous Southwestern vista

Apropos of nothing, there is something weirdly evocative about these early-mid 90's Jolly Ranchers ads (when they were square!) 🧵

I had fun on tiktok :(

Fascinating read. Over my head biologically but still fascinating

i saw a bunch of junk glimmering all over at tannhäuser gate too but it didn't seem worth mentioning

As a sometime employee of large publicly traded companies, i am sympathetic to this. I have seen SO MANY questionable & shortsighted decisions/strategies undertaken solely with an eye towards the next quarterly earnings call. Like dozens.

Kimberly Akimbo was just ok. The cast was great! It’s the play itself that...i dunno. Not sure why it got all those Tonys.

Found this in an old box just now:

SPOCK: you are being.. highly illogical

ME (WATCHING TV): ok he's got you there kirk

KIRK: but mr spock, mankind did not, endeavor to, reach out and, touch the stars, armed only with, cold hard logic, but driven, by our passionate impulsive, illogical humanity

ME: hey yeah fuck you spock

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

As i was saying:

I had 90 applicants for a geotech position last year in Houston. In the Industry geotechs are ~equivalent to paralegals. Over half of these folks were dramatically overqualified.

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

Very excited that Jens Lekman is putting out music again. Dude should be at least Belle and Sebastian level famous.

I still think sometimes about how much the Skinamarink (2022) fucked me up

Whatever the killer’s motives, it is clear that political violence is a problem that extends across ideology. Prominent conservatives, moderates and liberals have all been victims in recent years.

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud?

I feel like if the kid was in any way liberal or trans the Sherriff would be broadcasting that.

All these stories about the Evergreen shooter's "radicalization by ab extremist group" without any mention of what the politics are pf said group...🧐

The fact that the Sheriff is being so vague tells you all you need to know .

Unakite after the rock saw. No filter; it really is that color. ⚒️

9/11 this, 9/11 that; some of y’all need to put down the 9 ELVEN rings gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire power <send>

MULDER: I’m telling you boss, it’s real, and we have the proof.
SCULLY: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Mulder is telling the truth: we have captured Bigfoot. He’s in the lab right now.
KASH PATEL: Is it woke?
SCULLY: Director, I don’t —
PATEL: Can we say it’s woke? That we caught Woke Bigfoot?

I'm harnessing the unprecedented power of AI to forget how to read and develop a severe mental illness that makes me unrecognizable to those who once knew me.

“can I borrow a couple bucks”

Driving to fucking Bethany for indoor roller skating is an unjust burden.

thing for a guide to say. There is one remark (already men-tioned), which never yet has failed to disgust these guides. We use it always, when we can think of nothing else to say. After they have exhausted their enthusiasm pointing out to us and praising the beauties of some ancient bronze image or broken-legged statue, we look at it stupidly and in silence for five, ten, fifteen minutes-as long as we can hold out, in fact-and then ask: "Is—is he dead?"

My favorite part of THE INNOCENTS ABROAD is Twain and co. doing bits

Large (about 30 centimeters/12 inches wide) ammonite fossil in a display case, roundish from incompletely preserved spiraling of its chambers and mostly copper-brown but a little iridescent from "mother of pearl" (aragonite) in its shell. The shell has 3 parallel rows of 3-4 holes representing multiple bite traces inflicted by a mosasaur.

For #FossilFriday, a 2-for-1 special with a Late Cretaceous body fossil (ammonite) bearing tooth traces of a biting mosasaur matching the dental records of _Platecarpus_. Display seen at the U. of Michigan Museum of Natural History (Ann Arbor MI) in June '24. 🧪🦷🕳️ #ichnology

Bon Iver (because of the pronunciation)

There are some bands i will never check out because I hate their name so much. I understand that I am only hurting myself and I may be missing out on great music. I accept this.
