Edgar Anderson @pithyphrase.net · 08/10/2026One year, my parents both left to go vote. They told me they were going to the polls. At that point in life, I had only heard of the north and south poles. I was terrified they were leaving me alone while they went on a months-long expedition. 000 0

Edgar Anderson @pithyphrase.net · 24/06/2026I've seen a couple of YouTube videos recently where the presenter looks human, but the script they're reading sounds like AI. Even granting the presenter IS human, I don't think that makes it not slop. 010 1
Edgar Anderson @pithyphrase.net · 05/06/2026I don't check my mail often. Apparently, the post office "tried" to deliver a certified letter. The "attempt" did not include coming to my door or ringing my doorbell. I'm not going all the way to the post office to collect this letter. 020 2
