Videos of people watching tennis are unintentionally horrifying. It's like those videos of hundreds of turkeys gobbling at the same time.

Came upon our block's bodega cat, Kevin, loving up against two women outside our apartment this evening, and when we were like "hey Kevin" they were like, "Oh no... is he already named? Is he somebody's cat? We've been calling him Cheddars. He's been answering to Cheddars. ☹️"

Having a pre-dinner snack & pickle juice martini after a great afternoon on a park bench w/ my partner and then a very long & very bubbly bath, wishing I could retroactively knock out every idiot who ever told me childhood/youth is the best period of your life. Horrifying. Thank god, so very untrue.

this boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]

A directing problem, not an acting issue, but I can't stop thinking about how that HOTD episode would have been monumentally more powerful if D'Arcy hadn't already been Claire Danesing their way through every previous episode.

Sorry to say, but I got my first mosquito bites tonight in Brooklyn. It's been an incredible three weeks of being outside during that slice in the timeline between pollen allergy and bug bite seasons, friends. It's been real nice.

I'm gonna assume there was a legitimate reason, for my sanity, but today the city removed the biggest, most gorgeous tree across the street from my apartment, roots and all—the one that I've been staring at happily for seven years—and the devastation I've felt is immense, unreasonable maybe.

Re: the Richard Dawkins thing, did any of you have a wacky 7th grade science teacher who put raisins in Mountain Dew to demonstrate not to be so stupid to be tricked about what is alive & what isn't? Anyway I think about Mrs. Gerardi & her raisins every time some idiot man is like "AI is sentient"

Anyone else noticing that (extremely unrelated) brands are sending emails with the same subject lines on the same days/times now? I'm assuming they're suggested by AI in MailChimp or whatever based on day/time/etc., but it's become a very weird and very obvious thing in my promos tab every day.

I never had any urge to get married but getting forever paperwork with a guy who breaks down ten years in and yells I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BUT YOU WASH DISHES LIKE A DICKHEAD is absolutely worth getting married for. This shit is hilarious. I wanna be 78 years old and still getting read for filth.

"Babe I'm sorry but I don't think we can flee the country on points" is a real thing my husband just said to me as I weighed some upcoming travel pros and cons aloud and he could sense the precise unspoken reason for my hesitation. Fuck, I've been caught out as a human being.

I have one sole strong feeling about the AI future and it’s that eventually every single ad you see on your devices will have you in it. Person cleaning their kitchen with new soap product? You. Buying Alpo at the pet store? You. A hotter, better you maybe. But you.

At 9 AM I fall in love with Amy. We’re in my friend’s old Corolla, following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle in our neighborhood. We only know “Amy” through the Signal voice call we’re on together, alongside more than eight hundred others, all trying to coordinate sightings throughout South Minneapolis. Amy drives a silver Subaru and is directly in front of us, expertly tailing a black Wagoneer with two masked agents in front. The Wagoneer skips a red light to try and lose us, but Amy’s fast. She bolts across the intersection, Bullitt-style, and we follow just behind, shouting inside the car, GO AMY! WE LOVE YOU! “I’m gonna fucking marry Amy,” my friend says. “You think it’s chill to propose over this call?”

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"
