A fun thing about being fat and tall at a national company is all the “didn’t think you’d be this tall.” comments when you’ve only met people on zoom before.

The Muppet Show won 4 Emmy’s, but Disney still can’t decide what they should do with it. You do have to pay more for Disney+ though. They know that, at least.

We've been trained from birth to hate this, but isn't it kind of good actually? A big part of why China outcompetes in manufacturing is consolidation; the wheel factory and the seat factory are right next to the car factory, which is how things used to be here too. (1/2)

This entire year so far has been begging me to start a cigarette habit. Now it's finally pipe season, and for me that'll have to do.

I hate that just anyone can text me. I should be able to screen text messages. A double handshake; only people who both have each others contacts saved.

You think they can’t misinterpret the symbolism any more, and then you see the text that says “inspired by the starship trooper uniform”.

There’s a lyric in every ep of Spidey & His Amazing Friends where the guy from Fall Out Boy absolutely wrote “fuckin” and replaced it with “spidey” for the final song.

We really gotta push back when people say Trumps a “builder” or “loves construction” he’s not engineering fucking HVAC systems, he’s picking curtains. He’s a “designer” who “loves decorating”

Outside of Rob Sand's education push, suddenly all the latest dem ads are playing to the center/right and I don't see how engaging with the idiocy does anyone any favors. It's the same crap playbook we've run on for 20 years. Talk about how everything is measurably worse! And how it's their fault!

Even in the hypothetical best case scenario of a total midterm rebuke that jumpstarts real institutional pushback, there's no way the next two years aren't *so* fucking embarrassing. We're only at the beginning of how stupid and petty and needlessly destructive this is going to get.

It is absolutely ridiculous how important my sleep quality is to my ability to send even one email the next day. Bad night? Any email that actually makes it out the following day is sent under duress.

Lotta people shocked and bent out of shape by a nerd writing a bunch of words just to say “the book was better”. She seems annoyed that she’s been dragged into association with a project she had no input on, and that’s honestly fair. Is she handling it well? Maybe not so much.
