Sorry I’m late! I would’ve got here earlier, but there were some young kids waiting at the pedestrian crossing and I felt morally obligated to set a good example by actually waiting for the green man

“i hate this bad article so much, i’m going to share it with all my followers” ok but you could share something good instead and let the bad article wither and die, clickless and alone

In case you were wondering
A screenshot from Google Translate. The English “sodium hydroxypropylsulfonate” is translated as “hydroxypropylsulfonate de sodium” in French

I always find it funny how shampoo bottles are like “ingredients / ingrédients” and “water / aqua / eau” but then give up by sodium hydroxypropylsulfonate

Watching New Girl all the way through for the first time, and this is possibly the most tragic thing that’s ever happened in a sitcom
A still from the original opening titles. Jess (Zooey Deschanel) is in the centre, framed by a large, oval picture frame hanging from the ceiling. Either side of her, Nick (Jake Johnson) and Winston (Lamorne Morris) are holding green cardboard cutouts of the words “New” and “Girl” respectively. Below her, Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is holding a smaller cutout of the word “Jess” in a ribbon-like shape.A still from the later opening titles. It features generic photos of the cast, collaged together in a haphazard, visually unappealing way. The words “New Girl” — blue with a yellow outline — appear over the top at a 45° angle, in a style reminiscent of word art from the 90s and early 2000s.

Just got a new debit card, which means it’s time to write a signature I barely use on a surface that is hostile to all pens for an authentication method that is basically redundant (but still stress out about it)

Okay, have just watched it after feeling the same way — on the plus side, at least it ended with a fun Ashley Johnson cover of Through the Valley as a treat 😅

Some common writing advice is to open with a hook and to kill your darlings, but Peter Pan teaches us that you can also be successful by opening with your Darlings and killing your Hook.

Whoever said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result was clearly referring to eating a hot apple pie from McDonald’s and feeling confident that you definitely weren’t going to make a mess of it this time
