Duo, I’m just trying to do my little lesson to take my mind off all of my family down in Southern California. 😩

A Duolingo ad featuring a character saying “so there’s literally nothing to worry about” while holding a fire hose in front of a house engulfed in flames while like 30,000 acres of Southern California have burned.

I fucking love speaking ill of the dead. Keep the memes flowing.

I don’t know how this happened but I was terrified I was about to see too many moths. (I can’t stand moths.)

A post with a photo of a moth followed by a completely unrelated post by someone else that says “these next four moths are going to be fucking unbearable” but it was a typo for “months”

The highlight of my day is probably going to be that my phone autocorrected Cortini to crostini.

This has reminded me of the days when run-on snarky hashtags were a thing and I miss it because that is totally my kind of corny ass sense of humor.

If you had told me a few years ago that I would become adept at shoving cotton swabs up my nose, I would have 1) not believed you and 2) been very confused.

My favorite hobby when going out these days is seeing how many youths are in clown make up. I don’t understand it but please, continue to do your thing and confuse the elders.

This. And if you start feeling defensive about this, maybe don’t follow me, and also understand that I include the US in this statement.

Have you ever stepped into a crosswalk at 11pm, wearing all black, while a driverless car tries to make an unprotected left turn, just to feel something.

Duo’s in on this discourse too?

I don’t think I have nearly enough opinions nor thirst to be on this app. I just want to nap.

My only take on the mayo discourse is RIP Wildwood zesty garlic aioli. 😢

Whoever is casting The Sandman deserves all of the praise and recognition and kittens and puppies. If this is who I think it is, IT IS EPIC 🥺, though I know @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com will just say “wait and see.”

I'm not usually one for more laws, but it should definitely be illegal for notifications to say "Your order has shipped!" when only a mailing label has been created.

I‘ve been taking a break from most social media for a while but it’s good to know Alf‘s dick is still being discussed here.

“We truly live in an age of wonders” when you’re talking about timers is an ambitious statement.

Why can’t every weekend be like last weekend, where I see The Cure twice and eat my weight in potato chips.

24. Right now, the users do not trust the team to develop or apply any policy, because the only effective way to prompt any moderation action has been, for weeks, to badger the team into doing something about specific (obvious) bad actors, and the users feel the decisions should have been obvious.

I’m sick of ppl wanting to hold space with ideologies who want ppl dead. I want marginalized people PROTECTED. Enough is enough.

We scoff at poorly rendered AI limbs but forget that sometimes they look like this IRL. (Yes, this is just a fan page for my cat now.)

Computer me: Please take all my emojis at face value; there is no subtext. 🥺 IRL me: Please stop asking if I’m ok. My face just always looks like that. 😐

Rest is not a reward. Rest is a necessity. You don't have to earn it. It has no moral value.

I was not expecting to see ALF dicks and boobs on a big boat today, but such is the wonder of this place.

Mel @melc.bsky.social · 17/05/2023

All this boat talk has reminded me that I have had 3 separate conversations with different people where we talked about the show Below Deck, and I figured my confusion was because I was behind, and it wasn't until much later that I realized they were not talking about Star Trek: Lower Decks.

My only Zelda memory is from when I attended an X-Files panel at Wondercon and they absolutely roasted a guy dressed as Link during the Q&A. I too would like to be destroyed by Gillian Anderson.
