If you are the sort of dude who has misgivings about these discussions surrounding sexual assault or feels the need to say “not all men”, I implore you to develop some platonic female relationships. You’ll find out REAL QUICK how carefully curated a bubble you’re in and how often this shit happens.

Maybe everything sucks right now because there isn't a good party band. We need a new Andrew WK or LMFAO. That'll fix us.

That feel when you wake up only to discover that folks you came up with are still crashing out, embarrassing themselves, and reminding you just how thankful you are that you took a wildly different path.

Holy shit. This is peak content. It's just over a minute and a half and, if you love PTA, you owe it to yourself to watch it. If you hate PTA, you REALLY owe it to yourself to watch it.

Fun fact: Every time you click on an ad for a company you find reprehensible, it costs them money. As a bonus, it trains your algorithm to think you like that thing, so it sends you more of those ads to click on and waste their budget.

The memory cards I bought last year (in december) are currently 400% more expensive. Goddamn I hate AI so much right now. I bought them because I heard it would get bad. If I knew it was gonna be this bad I woulda bought 10 more.

I started a youtube channel to talk about self-development ideas I learn about, because at this point I've probably forgotten more of them than I've retained. Maybe if I make videos about the things I learn they'll stick better.. or at least I'll have a video to watch about it.

Rewatching the Original Star Wars trilogy. On RotJ. Why did we all have such a crush on Boba Fett? He kinda "dies" like a bitch. Like he's supposed to be this elite bounty hunter and he all he does is float over to the skiff and miss a bunch of shots and then get knocked out by a blind guy.

Get ready with me comic

4 panel comic titled “get ready with me”
Panel 1 - a guy is bringing a bowl of food to his cat - the caption says “this is my cute little morning routine”
Panel 2 - he watches as his cat eats the food, behind them is an ominous black portal bordered with skulls and with tentacles coming out of it
Panel 3 - he sits in a recliner with a cup of coffee and his cat at his feet. He says “ahh so nice” - the portal is still lurking behind them
Panel 4 - he’s now reading a book. The cat is sleeping in his lap. The portal still looms. He says “the trick is to ignore the void of infinite horrors “

Has anyone come up with a good list of words to block if you just want some of your social media to be whimsical places of escapism? Like I don't need to be bombarded by bullshit every single time I log onto every single social media site. Gimme one where I can pretend the world isn't on fire.

Is there a way to filter "only some people can reply" from my feed? I don't need care for people I don't follow to be dropped into my feed and not be able to respond. Kinda ruins the whole point of the site for me.

I try to stay positive on main, but I don't know, man, asking for some level of "authenticity" in a depiction of a story with Cyclopes, a sorceress who transmutes sailors into pigs, singing sea witches, and gods turning a two week cruise into a 20 year voyage sounds absolutely dumb as fuck to me.

Meanwhile, on Bluesky.

A repurposed moment from BROOKLYN 99. Mitch McConnell's face is on a standee reading "I'm happy, healthy and alive."

One man says "Oh, Mitch dead." Another says "Mitch real dead."

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

I'm bad at sharing my work. In part because most of the work I do is pragmatic corporate communications photos that are hard to get excited about, but sometimes I get to do cool shit. Here's some photos from a recent dance performance at a local prairie. It was cool. I took too many photos.

Just dropped my adobe subscription down to only photo stuff. I was paying $70 a month, now I'll save $50. After 6 months that Resolve license will have paid for itself.

I really hate dropbox. However recently Google started calling Google Drive "Google AI" and that leads me to believe that if I upload stuff to it, I'm giving them blanket permission to scrape it for their AI bullshit AND paying them for that privilege. Any alternatives to these 2?

Went and checked out the new Garden space downtown yesterday. It was a neat space but I'm a little confused why they opted to keep the temporary fencing up and give it the same hours as Lauritzen Gardens.

I watched North by Northwest the other day and I.. didn't care for it. A lot of it just seemed ridiculous to me. Like.. the whole scene with the airplane that's shown off like a huge cinematic moment but is the silliest shit in the world.

One of my hobbies is playing Warhammer 40k. It's basically "War Crimes, the board game" but set in a dystopian future. Most people arrange games via discord and for some reason everyone on the discord pearl clutches if you say the word "fuck". I don't get it.
