I still can't stop laughing about a video I saw ages ago of some husky drunk Russian dude hugging his cat while it cries and he keeps saying, "shaht ahp, eez valenstein's day."

Google's AI just tried to tell me that walnuts are closely related to stone fruits. I checked their taxonomies. They are not. That's why I don't rely on the sycophancy bots.

This is just false. Trusts get busted, companies declare bankruptcy and/or restructure, regain competitiveness and cost controls, and the only people who get burned are greedy investors and overcompensated executives. The needs those firms met don't vanish; they're satisfied more efficiently.

Lombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."

Only 900 days left in Trump's second term. If that even ends up mattering at all...

I totally and unironically agree with Bender on the subject of the afterlife: "A whole other life? If I thought that after this one I'd have to live another one, I'd kill myself right now!"

My dad told me he has a new bf today. I still miss my dad's late husband every day, but it's been a year and a half since he died, and I'm happy for my dad that he's moving on with his life. I think Bruce would be too if heaven or whatever were real.

This is how you deal with malignant narcissists, btw.

"What if we made All About Eve, but gratuitously horny, from Eve's perspective, and also she's really dumb and can't act at all?" "Brilliant, we'll call it Showgirls!"

So I was wrong, the crow gift was walnuts, not almonds.

Can confirm that’s either a walnut or some other member of the genus Juglans.

Gee, it's almost like people who have changed castes within patriarchy might have important insights to offer in a time when fascist and authoritarian movements are trying to violently retrench patriarchal roles... Nah, I'm sure ignorant speculation from a kids' fantasy author is more enlightening.

Trans film and arts critics have also done okay and for the most part trans columnists in apolitical "lifestyle" content seem to have been less affected. It's capital N News coverage and Political Comment journalism where trans people were purged most rigourously.

I just came across the tree where our crow gift came from. This is definitely in the prunus genus. Its leaves don't look like an apricot's so I think this must be some kind of hardy variety of almond tree. The cleavage is forming in the fruit, and it's getting greener like almonds do.

My parents: "Why haven't you bought a house and adopted children? You must be wasting money on avocado toast like the NYT said." Also my parents: "Why don't you make a very expensive visit to Sicily with us in a few months, while you're both teaching and your husband is earning his master's?"

I'm sorry for being a cocktease. It will happen again.

That poor jogger has no idea how thoroughly I just mentally sodomized him.

Or maybe we could have an Indian second lady. Wouldn't that be just terrible, Vance?

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

I got my ear pierced and my nails painted because the rental car guy asked about my "wife" and I realized I was still not nearly faggy enough.

I kinda wanna swipe my nose like a credit card in it.

My fainting spells probably aren't a tumour, y'all! It's almost certainly low blood pressure, but I'm getting some bloodwork done to rule out hypoglycemia.

I wish more people understood how unkind phony niceness really is. When it becomes ubiquitous, it starts to erode people's most basic sense of security. It makes trust and solidarity impossible.

Can anyone identify this fruit? It had fine fuzz on its surface and was slightly sticky to the touch. It seems like it might have been a stone fruit, but it's definitely not peach or plum. I think it might be underripe fresh almond.

I keep thinking my new piercing is a pimple in my ear, until I reach up to probe it and wince.

I mean, he'd have to lose his gag reflex just to cope with looking in the mirror every morning, I assume.

‘I Will Literally Eat Anything’: RFK Jr. Touts His Nonexistent ‘Gag Reflex’

I guess the period where we could have nice summer weather is pretty much over now in Vancouver. It's either rain or smoke.

If a public figure is complaining about being called a nazi instead of making abundantly clear how repulsive and contemptible they think Nazis are, they're a nazi.

We got our first crow gift today.

No, I don't want a piece of that ass. I want the hole thing!

My name equals 1062 and therefore this is a good test.

I’d say this was nonsense but it works I like the results for Mark. 😜

Actually, it's Kirke Lannister.

"It's harder for smart people to make friends." Sure sure, whatever helps you cope with being insufferable.

Man, it's expensive having a conscience.
