i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Modern work is having ten word docs open at the same time and never once correctly opening the one you’re trying to work on.

OMFG they finally ran the DNA and it was Robert Eugene Brashers - every single person who’s life was ruined by this deserves a HELL of an apology by Austin PD because what do you mean it was not only none of the people convicted or accused but was an actual serial killer.

I’ve lived in North Carolina since 2018 and just got my first jury summons. Very surprised it took this long.

Just lived my worst nightmare and had a tiny black widow climb on me and reenacted this scene and am considering burning these clothes and scrubbing off the top layer of epidermis. IT WAS ON MY SKIN. MY SKINNN.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Unpopular opinion but if I was living/working in a big, flat-roofed building, I would absolutely want to go up there. I sincerely thought “I want to go on the roof” was like a super normal human impulse but apparently it’s not. Because for real? Hell yeah I wanna go on the roof of the White House.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

Watching the Storm Area 51 doc and I am honestly just shocked that people didn’t know what Area 51 is. Genuinely thought that was common knowledge. Also “it turns out that Nevada is just a desert. There’s nothing out here.” is both accurate and also I thought people knew that.

I was so shocked to see this news while in a work meeting that my supervisor stopped the meeting to ask if I was ok. I apparently just assumed that he, like Kieth Richards, would live forever. RIP Ozzy.

It’s good that my traditional way of celebrating the 4th is to watch Jaws, because this year I can still do that and I’m instead celebrating the 50th anniversary of the movie. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
