iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

#Bequest sounds nice and formal, like it should only be written on parchment with a quill and the blood of a virgin. Bequeath sounds like something your body does after you eat too much Taco Bell. #vss365

Just so everyone's aware, upon my death, disappearance into the nether realms, or descent into jibbering madness, I #bequest my collection of dangerous arcane texts to whoever they'll do the most damage to. #vss365

Eric Lahti @ericlahti.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I think at this point, everyone is just looking for a #reprieve from the madness and endless chicanery. Like, just leave us the hell alone, you jackasses. #vss365

Funny how water and fire can both #purify; it's just a matter of how bad things have gotten. Could be a dunk in a river or matches and a gallon of gas #vss365

In this town, the rain didn't #purify us. It exposed us. Washed away the facade and revealed the scars and cigarette burns of life in a city that no longer cared for us. #vss365

We should change the past tense of lose to losed instead of lost. That way, we could tell people, "You snoozed, you losed."

Would popping someone in the beak because you're starving and they're annoying the shit out of you be considered a #hunger strike? #vss365

Find your #passion and let it consume you from the inside out. Our final stop has always been madness, you might as well make the trip fun. #vss365

You are eating a fruit filled with #passion. A passionfruit, if you will. The passion it unlocks isn't of the body, but of the mind. A hand-scrawled sign out front: Magic fruit and mushrooms. Welcome to the best fruit stand in America. #vss365

Sometime in the future, when these #stormy times have come to an end, we'll all look back on these days and say, "What the fuck were we thinking?" #vss365

Eric Lahti @ericlahti.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I hate it when my mind is filled with #stormy thoughts, black clouds punctuated by bursts of worry and illuminated by flashes of panic. And then, a flash of light cuts through the maelstrom, saying, "Go play a video game and you'll feel better." #vss365

According to the 1981 Jones accords, explorers are no longer required to own a pith helmet or a safari jacket, so feel free to #explore the world in whatever attire works best for you. #vss365

Looking back, I have to wonder how we managed to #sustain ourselves on bowls of crunchy chemicals, sugar, and milk. Sure, it was part of a nutritious breakfast, but it was the part you could go without. #vss365

#Commence. Huh. Commence, commence, commence... What kind of funny can I make with commence? Maybe it's too early and I'm still reeling from the concert last night... Oh, well, better get the day started. #vss365

There was no gentle shift of the seasons this year. Someone flipped a switch and hot-as-balls summer became cooler #autumnal breezes overnight. #vss365

We're all stuck here on the #autumnal edge of western civilization, doomed to repeat the mistakes of every past empire that crumbled into dust and became nothing more than places for tourists to buy shirts and take pictures. #vss365

#Sanguine is one of those weird words that doesn't sound like what it means. It feels like it should mean morose or melancholy, but it doesn't. #vss365

There's a difference between #naivete and dumbassery. One is a lack of experience, the other is just a president being stupid. #vss365

Eric Lahti @ericlahti.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Words just look cooler with diacritic marks. Mötley Crüe is far cooler than Motley Crue and naïveté has more cachet than #naivete. If you want to make something cööl, toss some umlauts on it. #vss365

If you want to make something more interesting, change it to French. For instance, it's not a mixed drink, it's a boisson #mélangée. Now, enjoy your $30 rum and Coke. #vss365

Whether you call it a sausage, a #mélange, or a gumbo, things are great when differences combine. I mean, sure, you could stick with white bread with mayo, but there are so many better options out there. Yes, this is a post about how stupid racists are. #vss365
