Came upon our block's bodega cat, Kevin, loving up against two women outside our apartment this evening, and when we were like "hey Kevin" they were like, "Oh no... is he already named? Is he somebody's cat? We've been calling him Cheddars. He's been answering to Cheddars. ☹️"

Having a pre-dinner snack & pickle juice martini after a great afternoon on a park bench w/ my partner and then a very long & very bubbly bath, wishing I could retroactively knock out every idiot who ever told me childhood/youth is the best period of your life. Horrifying. Thank god, so very untrue.

this boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

A directing problem, not an acting issue, but I can't stop thinking about how that HOTD episode would have been monumentally more powerful if D'Arcy hadn't already been Claire Danesing their way through every previous episode.

Sorry to say, but I got my first mosquito bites tonight in Brooklyn. It's been an incredible three weeks of being outside during that slice in the timeline between pollen allergy and bug bite seasons, friends. It's been real nice.

I'm gonna assume there was a legitimate reason, for my sanity, but today the city removed the biggest, most gorgeous tree across the street from my apartment, roots and all—the one that I've been staring at happily for seven years—and the devastation I've felt is immense, unreasonable maybe.

The first company that emails me and is like "Hey we commit to never integrating AI into our operations/products/business/interface ever or your cash back" is getting so much money from me.

Re: the Richard Dawkins thing, did any of you have a wacky 7th grade science teacher who put raisins in Mountain Dew to demonstrate not to be so stupid to be tricked about what is alive & what isn't? Anyway I think about Mrs. Gerardi & her raisins every time some idiot man is like "AI is sentient"

Anyone else noticing that (extremely unrelated) brands are sending emails with the same subject lines on the same days/times now? I'm assuming they're suggested by AI in MailChimp or whatever based on day/time/etc., but it's become a very weird and very obvious thing in my promos tab every day.

I never had any urge to get married but getting forever paperwork with a guy who breaks down ten years in and yells I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BUT YOU WASH DISHES LIKE A DICKHEAD is absolutely worth getting married for. This shit is hilarious. I wanna be 78 years old and still getting read for filth.
