OK, can we please stop doing this "I have a wee pithy thing to say, so it's going to be a huge graphic with no ALT text" thing? Please? I even see news outlets and indie journalists do it. You can't filter it out with a word list. It isn't viewable by those with screen readers. Just type your shit.

I am famous at my post office for asking to have heavy packages left on the porch instead of returned to the post office and left with a delivery attempt notification slip. This is what I got the last time I asked.

At a software company I used to work for, there was a "wear something red" day, so I wore this and zipped a black hoodie up jussst enough. Not one person asked about it.

So, this happened when I went to reply to someone I didn't follow yet over on the Mastodons. Why is this not standard, not just here on @bsky.app, but on every social media platform and open comments section everywhere? @safety.bsky.app

If you use Bsky in a browser, and use the Dark Reader plugin, you get a nice middle ground between the too-light-and-too-much-blue Dim setting and the pitch-black white-border-on-black of Dark setting. Good for all-day srollin' and easy like Sunday mornin'.

When I was young, I did something to piss my mom off so badly that she chased me around the yard with a Whiffle ball bat. The hard, yellow plastic model that could kill ya. I laughed the whole time until she stopped and just said "You have to sleep sometime." I like to call this Baby's First PTSD.

A Whiffle ball bat and a whiffle ball. The Whiffle ball bat is the hard, yellow plastic kind, not the plump red plastic ones that came out later.

This is straight from The Cable Company™️ playbook. They get you in at a low price, then slowly sneak it up bit by bit hoping you won't notice, then you have to call them and threaten to leave before they give you a "special retention price" for another year, then you do it all over again. No thanks.

Is it Sisyphus day and I missed the memo? Sometimes, on here, I feel like I can't keep up w/ my feed and keep falling back to the refreshed timeline, starting back at the top and just reading until I run out of time and have to do something else. I wish there was some kind of an allegory for this.

Someone on another site asked why, and I said because they used a whole kid for three gags, none of which added anything to the overall story, AND he was a Culkin kid. Not terribly brand loyal, though. I mean, Pepsi in one movie and Coke in another? And look at that cow lick! What's not to love?

I have absolutely used this in official documents, work correspondence, etm. Also skeets. But always use it with an Oxford Comma. Gotta keep it classy.

etm. (abbr.) Latin abbreviation for the literal translation of "and shit", specifically, "et merda". Just like "etc." (and so forth), "i.e." (that is), and "e.g." (for example), "etm." can be used to abbreviate "and shit."

Apparently, when you cancel Spotify Premium, they give you one last playlist to listen to... Read the names of all the songs. I mean, I can't even be mad. It's cheezy genius. #Spotify

There is a playlist from Spotify and the song titles spell out "If You Leave Us Now You'll Take Away The Biggest Part Of Us", which is also a play on the title of "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago.
