Be advised: after the SNL Weekend Update emoji skit, I’m officially adopting 🚡 to represent “bulletproof self-confidence in the face of all doubters.”

It’s finally dawning on me that modern tech bros all saw the Matrix as kids and decided they want to be Cypher. Just living in an incubation pod, an impenetrable cocoon of tech, AI, and simulated experiences between them and any direct human interaction, friction, or creative challenge.

With all the constant updates Apple makes to iOS, is it too much to ask them to add a left-facing thumbs up emoji so I can easily make a Fonzie-style emote? See? See?!?

A smiling emoji with two thumbs up, like Fonzie. Heyyyyy!

They say confidence comes from success; you build your confidence one small victory at a time, steadily growing a pile of evidence marked “I got this.” Ummm, anyone else have the opposite? Every time you succeed it goes in a pile marked “You got lucky, but next time…” Yeah, uh, me neither. 😬

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Okay it’s a sequel to Casablanca that follows Rick and Renault as they head off to fight the Nazis. Rick Blaine is played by The Rock and Louis Renault is played by Iko Uwais. COMING THIS SUMMER “Louis?” “Yeah, Rick?” *cocks gun* “This looks like the start of a beautiful friendship.”

Okay @moviessilently.bsky.social you’re my only hope. I SWEAR that the choreography from Lady Gaga’s SNL performance of Abracadabra reminds me of an old cartoon. At first I thought it was Hell’s Bells from 1929 but it’s not quite right. Am I nuts?

If someone tries to smother you with a pillow, just pretend to die, then when they pull the pillow away, go “BOO!” Repeat this process as many times as necessary until the killer gets too annoyed to murder you and just walks away grumbling.
