I’ve looked up the origin of seppo and the result has obliterated me
I can has Bob Dylan—finally? (You know this comes from a place of love. For Dylan, not Altman.)
Facebook just showed me this:
For that money I can’t even buy a condo in Mississauga. *cries in Canadian*
Victoria described an Only Connect team member as an antipodean mathematician and my tiny American brain imploded
Maybe he tried cutting his own bangs and is now just waiting it out.
Imagine hating me while I'm stuck in traffic going to the office to do stuff that I could've done from home.
Whenever I’m facing a moral dilemma, I think of the advice my father gave me. “Never leave a paper trail,” he’d say, tapping the glass partition between us for emphasis.
[The idea runs counter to the “push yourself” culture of gyms and fitness apps. Instead of breathless effort, zone zero exercise is all about moving slowly enough that you could chat very comfortably the whole time.] But do something. Anything.
The exam we all need to take.
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
Wolverine’s healing power can push bullets out of his body. Do you think that works with microplastic? Every once in a while, does he just cough up a Lego?

Hear, hear.
They seem … cultured.
Cuniculture is a hare-raising experience.
How I feel scrolling through Bluesky. Not the title, but the lyrics.
The check engine light is there to let you know your dash bulbs are working.
If you want to really know someone, take a look at what doesn't get them upset.
I wish you well, brother. And plenty of strength.
Remember when denying science was stupid and ignorant, not "critical thinking"? Yeah, that was cool.
Ancient Egyptians walked like that to avoid treading on their darn cats.
Just saw a headline called “Maria Sharapova’s superpower” and was genuinely shocked that it wasn’t “losing to Serena Williams”
Thanks, Power Phrases™ — my strongly worded letters are now a metaphorical gut punch to virtually any hapless recipient.
Projectile vomiting and diarrhea with debilitating cramps at 3:30 am to own the libs.
When Sylvia Plath wrote, “being born a woman is my awful tragedy”, the entire female population of the Indian subcontinent felt that personally

Did you know? In the Victorian era, Princess Victoria Gowramma became the first Indian royal woman to set foot in England. She was baptized and forced into Christianity at Buckingham Palace. The aristocracy saw her more as an exotic curiosity than a real princess #Victorian #history
My best advice for young people is to inherit real estate.
That sounded like the Trivandrum pronunciation of the Filipino fried chicken chain.
What struck me about this article is how this reflects what happened in India with the BJP mastering the new way of politics #SouthAsiaSky
Good stuff.
Ah, ha, ha, ha.
“Luka” peaks at #3 today in 1987 — a song for which Suzanne Vega said she once received a fan letter: Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince
Let’s boo-gie!

Post an old illustration you still like This kinda served as a proof of concept when I finally decided to start Utown. I can't believe I drew this in 2017 0.0

Rinse, repeat.
This is all kinds of awesome (from the etymology subreddit)
So HOT. Hands and thighs burning. Help!

I know it's impossible to be a consumer in this town and not give money to Republican-owned businesses; I just wish they'd practice their disgusting lifestyle in the privacy of their homes instead of shoving it in our faces.
Ever see a toddler in a car seat with a toy steering wheel? They make vroom vroom noises and say “Look, Mommy, I’m driving the car!” Anyway, that’s what I think of when you show off your AI “art.”
Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your résumé? Me: That’s when I carried you.
You think you hate your coworkers? Imagine doing the opening credits at a streaming service when the guy down the hall comes up with the Skip Intro button. I’d get to work early every day just to close the elevator door in his face. “Oops, I must have pressed the Skip Dave button again!”
Lost all respect for somebody pulling the latter perfunctory compliance racket, the reluctance coming across strong. The first kind is more honest, in comparison. Sad, really.
The cross I bear.
Sitting through a Copilot “training session” with my camera and microphone forcibly muted, muttering, “What is the point of this? You took three times as long to iteratively create a shitty insincere email with faux-cheerful emojis.” I’d rather have Jesus instead.
Oh, don’t go to that nightclub. That’s just a tourist trap. The last tourist had to chew his own leg off to escape. Personally, I think tourist trapping is cruel, but it’ll keep happening as long as rich folk keep buying their pelts.
No, this is better. I just imagined a whole cornfield in Iowa vanish right before my eyes.
Well played.
Hey babe, can you move your Dostoevsky books? The Real Housewives of Alligator Alcatraz is on.
Happy birthday!

You look for a long time till you find the right ears. Till then, there are birds and lamps to be spoken to, a patient cloth rubbing shine in circles, and the slow, gradually growing possibility that when you find such ears they already know. - Naomi Shihab Nye #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀
Those flaws have been there for literally hundreds of years but it was okay because the fascist stuff was only for Black people.
Thanks. Placed a hold at the library.
“Never again,” I whisper as I double knot my sneakers.
Thank you for your service. 🫡
When you’re a kid, staying up late feels like rebellion. As an adult, staying up late just feels like you’re in a hostage situation with your own brain.
Nothing says you don’t know anything about me like sending me an invite to LinkedIn

Did you know? In the Victorian era, public toilets were not common in London, so there was an issue with people relieving themselves in the streets. When the city changed this, urinals were free, but stalls cost a penny. So men could go for free, but women had to pay. #Victorian #history
What a cutie-coo.
അതന്നെ.
Astute observation.
This philosophy is the backbone of every decision Trump makes
What I miss about writing is the process of writing. The notional space in which I was engaging with words, ideas, images, and trying to weave something out of them. It is a good distraction from contemplating bad news and personal failings.
Repost with a quote from a show/movie that's actually good advice
Any #Manga readers here? I'm looking for recommendations for some oneshot manga. But no romance/drama genre. Also I read a lot of Junji Ito stuff and I want a break from horror. Sci-fi would be nice too. 1/2
I’m choosing to believe that it’s the mask speaking, not the Murderbot cosplayer.
Amazing.

OMG, WHAT DID YOU DO? ARE YOU A CYBERDELINQUENT, BRO?
Hero.
Good one. I Googled and found this:
Yeah, I no longer have that home.
Home is where the roaming stops.
We’re winning the War on Facts.
You did the right thing.
'Merit', as those of us who have followed the debates over reservations in Indian education know, is a code word for 'people like us, the right sort of people.'
I just watched Weapons and someone loudly shouted WTF almost at the same time Josh Brolin said it on screen and everyone laughed. Movies have the power to change the world.
I wonder what happens to "Elvis Presley isn't dead" conspiracists as time goes on. Do you just randomly decide one day "okay he'd be really old now, I've decided he died today"? Or do you just ramp it up? "Elvis Presley isn't dead, he's 120 years old and stronger than ever, we need exorcists"
Why waste your money on a vasectomy? Wear Crocs instead.
Time to get my shot, I suppose.
You know the world’s gone to shit when you hear some new music you like and your first reaction is “is it AI?”
Told my grandkids that back in the olden days they used to deliver a big thick book right to your doorstep that doxxed everybody in your town and they truly think I'm makin that shit up.
New book, old photo.
Indeed, and Americans are particularly unprepared for a court system that accelerates authoritarianism. Our cultural memory is of a judiciary that protects rights, the history is more a defender of the status quo that is wary of executive power. The present judiciary flips both of those upside down.
Seems heavy. Check out that photo credit.
Even more ironically, only a tiny fraction is planet based.
I mean …
Suck it, Shashi Tharoor.
Drank around 600ml of concentrated bottled chicken bone broth in a feverish daze. Discovered it expires in 2029. I am now a ‘roach. Indestructible.
"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.
