Very distressed to learn that Captain Crunch is not even an American. Foreign powers are sending members of their armed forces to peddle cereal to impressionable children! (He is in fact a national of Crunch Island)

have been bedridden since February due to surgery activating a complication from COVID that was lying around since March 2020 waiting to fuck me up. my career is stalled, I don't see my friends, I don't pursue my hobbies. the roni's fuckin vicious, even if you thought you escaped you might not have

I saw Nolan's The Odyssey in the cinema the other day. Absolutely unpleasant film, exhausting and stressful. watching it was like having a crown done. I never want to see it again. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in my life, very much recommended

the problem with fresh fruit is either i buy too much and end up having to throw some away when it spoils (unendurable tragedy) or i dont buy enough and end up not having fresh fruit when i want to eat fresh fruit (unendurable tragedy)

over six years after getting the OG Roni in March 2020 I'm suffering major health issues as a result. Not long COVID but this other thing where my veins decide they don't need to send all that much blood to my brain after all which means i sleep all the time and don't think good 😇

people misinterpret avg life expectancy in ancient societies as meaning everyone dropped dead by 30. can you imagine how societies would have worked if that was true tho? since there'd be no infant or maternal mortality people would be fuckin like rabbits. i mean even more than they already were

I spent the last two weeks reconstructing this piece by Giovanni Paisiello with MIDIs and my own vocals. As far as I know it has not been performed since the 1787. I started out of morbid curiosity bc the dialogue for this scene is stupid but the music's actually really good?? youtu.be/5ijAzqpdGbY

the protege of Pavarotti himself, famous operatic soprano kallen esperian is back in my tiktok mentions and this time she's going for personal attacks rather than just insulting my singing. she is Big Mad. why? i dont know but i hope she stays mad this is incredible content
comment from kallen on one of my videos: can we say ....non-talented narcissist... no matter what this person does she will never be a classical singer
