Oh come on, its existence is clearly predicted in the Standard Breakfast Model! I guess they’re waiting until we get more data from the Large Ham Collider

Literally nobody can trust Donald Trump, not in the entire world. More importantly, every single person, without exception, *everyone* who was even tangentially involved in conceiving, crafting, approving, or posting this headline, they all knew, without a doubt, that he can’t be trusted. And yet.
NYT headline reading “Can Zelensky Trust Trump? Ukraine’s Fate May Depend on the Answer.”

I defy you to explain what you mean by “formidable.”

Listen I don’t care how many people switch bodies in this one, they still have the first two to explain to them why it isn’t as freaky as they might think at first

Freakier Friday? Terrible title. The same thing happened to them once before, which makes this Friday inherently less freaky than the first one

This guy put everything into following his dream of becoming an opera singer, *succeeded* at it, and his obituary wound up being “He was a mediocre tenor who one time accidentally stabbed his cast mate”

Life as a creative professional: Q: So, what do you do for a living? A: Well, basically, I try to monetize my thoughts Q: What thoughts? A: Oh, thoughts like “Our society is a nightmarish dystopia in which everyone’s thoughts are monetized.” Q: Oh. Hmm. I see. A: Yup

And to take it a step further, the thing that’s really wild about it is that I found out about it from someone else! Like, the constructor didn’t notify me in advance*, any more than they would have notified, like, [Brian ENO] or whoever! *(Presumably, but I have many unread notifications)

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Tonight was the first time I got to sit down and watch former Dayton Flyer Obi Toppin play a key role on an NBA Finals team, it felt great. Not as great as it felt when I watched him win the 2020 NCAA tournament for UD over in the Good Timeline, but still pretty great

Look, I know it’s controversial, but I’m just going to come out and say it: in the first sentence of The Metamorphosis, “Ungeziefer” should be translated as “bug,” and I honestly don’t understand why it’s ever been translated differently

In spring 2020, I remember looking around a Zoom meeting and realizing the women were gone. They were busy filling in gaps left by school closures and cancellations of non-emergency medical services. A lot of the male-only conversations happening then brought us to our current misogynistic crisis.

Remember when Steph put up 54 at MSG that first time? Barely, right? Because that was *2013.* Back then, you probably didn’t think about Donald Trump more than once or twice a year, that’s how long ago it was. And yet also: He dropped 52 points tonight. Tonight. I mean…

Just started watching Severance for the first time. I’m trying to keep an open mind, but on the other hand, I’ve already seen Being John Malkovich so I’m skeptical there’s anything much new for me to get out of it

Looked up “How to crochet for beginners” on YouTube and got *very* offended that it served me an ad for “Effortless Daily Style for Women 40+” This despite the fact that a) I am, literally, older than 40, b) I’m not UN-interested in Effortless Daily Style, and c) I’m watching a crochet tutorial
