It's not impossible (it's probably likely) that I'm seeing a distortion because of how ads can be targeted and REAL PATRIOTS are getting the name with their programming

but a boy can dream

I just think it's kind of interesting that the yes campaign is explicitly saying THIS IS ABOUT TRUMP WE ARE AGAINST TRUMP and the no campaign is reduced to mumbling "Richmond politicians want to eliminate our historically black districts" instead of, idk, "this is bad for Trump, help our president."

So all the ads I'm seeing for the Virginia amendment are very Democrat-coded. Obviously the yes campaign has Obama looking directly at the camera and saying VIRGINIA WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU but the no campaign is also quoting Spanberger and Obama on how gerrymandering is bad in the abstract

You know, J was talking about how she remembers being super into Keanu Reeves in this movie and I have no memory of a parallel "oh BOY that's what an attractive adult looks like" experience

which is weird, seeing it again

So my parallel wife (fiancée technically) just got hit by a vehicle outside the church on our parallel wedding day so uh

SQRPION, carpool coordination

"we've got your back"

In you are two wolves, one that says the Merovingian fight scene in the Matrix Reloaded (2003) features forked, spiked, and splaying weapons to emphasize the power of decision, and another that says it takes place on a double stairway to symbolize that choice is an illusion.

I was making an absurd joke I'm sorry I'm so sorry (loading a round into my tachyonic antigun)

お疲れさまでした OTL
Admirable hard walking and hard working!

#kakapo Esperance with chick Elsie-A2-2026 on Whenua Hou. At a month old the chicks start to get coloured feathers and males will weigh around 1kg - not far off the mother's weight. But she's still less than halfway through raising them in the nest! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds #wildlife

The plural of anecdote isn't data, but you will find that the singular of data is a thing that happened to me

Ruthie fucking Barkwhispers called your nanna a bitch this land has groaned beneath the weight of her crimes for TOO LONG

The context here is that our very first session was about dealing with a boggart infestation in an ancient tomb, and we met a hedgehog druid doing brisk business selling "boggart-repelling charms," for which there was conveniently high demand

Ruthie _fucking_ Barkwhispers

(not even a real druid)

CHAMOMILE: you VILLAINS desecrated the land - this town will BURN
US: okay we know druids like "nature" but-
CHAMOMILE: you BROKE into the TOMB of DRUID ELDERS to plant BOGGARTS
US:
CHAMOMILE: do you DENY it
ROGUE: (was that Ruthie fucking Barkwhispers)
ABIGAIL: (it was Ruthie fucking Barkwhispers)

DM: the druid makes a gesture of dismissal - she's no time for you _insects_. The ground ERUPTS beneath you with a wall of living flame! Everybody but Abigail, make a dex save!
EVERYBODY: wow Abigail you made some great decisions about your positioning
ABIGAIL: [initiative 3] I sure did

PALADIN: can my mount attack too
DM: what, your giant pillbug? sure he can get a little spin attack
MOUNT: [IMMEDIATELY crits a druid] IS THIS... THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH
ARSONIST: what the fuck FIREBOLT (rolls a 3)
MOUNT: [deep in the pulp of a second druid] WAS IT FOR THIS I WAS GIVEN LIFE

tyler durden: you are not special (threatening, malicious)

me: you are not special (comforting, supportive)

A jar of JIF (pronounced "gif") peanut butter and a flask of hot sauce styled as an old timey elixir sold by one Dr. Assburn

boy lunch

I was about to say "well it's not poison" and then I had to pause and think a little

One of the various AIs that YouTube tries to sell me (Gemini?) did offer as a use case, "turn this selfie into a professional headshot" so maybe that's the play, maybe I can use this turbo cursed ring to DEFEAT Sauron and his vile host

"Just send an old photo of you" leaving aside how few selfies I take as a first point, vanishingly few are taken from my front with a neutral expression in front of a plain background

The eternal¹ problem of, I need to send in a photo for a volunteer ID, but I'm in the period where the beard I wear three-hundred-so days a year is still growing back in

¹ strictly!!! time-bounded

1507. Don’t BBQ the Duck!!

I got this hot sauce at a festival a few years back and it's very good and also I can only tolerate ¼tsp at a time which means in like ten years I am going to be rushed to urgent care with a perforated gut after my child kindly makes father's day breakfast and upends the damn thing into the oatmeal.

"You teach!" "Yeah, I teach; computer age philosophy, but my students would rather watch TV!" "America!" "AMERICA."

A regrettable thing that happened to me is that I saw RENT at a critical moment of my development and now if you say "New York City" with the right inflection now I am listening to "Santa Fe" but like three different parts of the song at the same time

smiling serenely as I quench all the pilots so the risk of gas lighting is reduced to zero

okay so, in the context I was working with, the threat of or incidence of violence is the Thing that makes road rage road rage, so unless you're shoving people aside in ya haste to make a peepoop, I think it's slightly different.
