JFC the surveillance is EVERYWHERE. I’m at the airport for my new job and I immediately got a text notification about roaming plans from my cell provider even though I have most of my location information turned off. This is the shittiest timeline.
I started a new job downtown that starts much earlier than my old one and also involves a multi block walk in the area. There’s a significant number of unhoused people there, and today I came across a couple who were doing something I’d never seen before.
I haven't really been following this, but this post has brought up an Important Question I've been meaning to ask. How do you pronounce the "i" in Flo Rida? Is it "ih," "eye" or "ee?" Like, is it pronounced like the state, or like it's meant to be "rider/ridah" or the most random third option ever?

Someone in my office is wearing either a cologne or a body wash so pungent it's making my eyes water. I'm definitely going to have a migraine by the end of the day. I don't know why people find it so hard to understand what a "scent-free" work environment is.
I believe this is known as liquified natural gaslighting. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

To Have and Have Not is an exquisite gem of a movie. "Say... was you ever bit by a dead bee?"

Alt: Lauren Bacall (a white woman dressed in a 1920s style pantsuit, with dark curled hair) looks both seductive and teasing as she says: "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together... and blow."

Is it some sort of universal requirement that hold music be simultaneously insipid and irritating?
Bodies are stupid. Why on earth is poor posture more comfortable? You'd think our bodies would want to encourage us to sit in a way that's better for us, but nooooo.
Thanks to a generous housewarming gift from last year, I just basically bought a small orchard for the house. 🤣 Now, in a short 5-7 years, I will have fruit!
Friends, who has recommendations for really good biographies written about not-famous people? I'm talking ordinary citizens who led interesting lives but didn't necessarily change the course of history or leave a lasting cultural memory.
I have never understood the expression “A hit dog will holler.” Why are we hitting dogs? And yes, of course if you inflict pain on a dog (or any animal) it will cry out. Why are we taking this as an indicator of guilt?

Okay. I am going to watch Inside the Manosphere. *rolls up sleeves* I feel like this is going to hurt.
I feel like half my life these days is my being reminded of a movie and thinking "Oh, I should watch/re-watch that!" and then never doing it.
Turns out the secret to not having coworkers steal your food from the work fridge is to bring food that makes the average North American recoil in horror. Today's snack is pickled quail eggs. 🤣
Everything about home ownership is expensive, and I don't like it.
I accidentally brought a quail egg to work with me in my pocket. I think this is a rite of passage for country living. 😆
I know I am screaming into the void, because none of my friends do this, and I can't actually comment on the posts I'm talking about because it gives them engagement and encourages the exact behaviour I'm condemning, but OH MY GOD STOP POSTING YOUR CHILDREN ON THE INTERNET FOR VIEWS, HOLY SHIT.
I am usually totally happy to be in my 40s, but I have to say I'm no longer quite as able to hack 12-hour shifts after a night of too little sleep as I used to be.
Back to my Smallville rewatch while I'm slogging my way through my shifts at work. I didn't comment on a handful of episodes, and now I'm at the Season 1 finale. Lionel Luther is delivering shitty news as if he's running for political office.
I myself have mixed feelings about whatever the new Firefly thing is that's coming up (I think that ship sailed 20 years ago and they should leave it be), but I am so, so sad that my beloved friend Frank died before he could learn this news. He loved Firefly so much and would have been thrilled.

I have reached the point in my night shifts when my legs feel weird and don't want to hold still. It's so very fucking annoying.
Unrelated, but I have a lot less patience now for actors who "do their own stunts" these days. I know it's meant to be a flex, but for fuck's sake, let the stunt doubles get paid!
Wait, is the discourse today really shitting on Gen Z for not wanting to get wasted on cheap liquor?
I've never watched Smallville in its entirety. Going to try to rectify that this week. I'm two episodes in, and it's very cute and everyone is VERY young. (I am going to have to ignore the fact that that one actress later ended up in a weird sex cult and helped to traffic women. FML. /o\)
I bought a different brand of ranch dip than usual and it tastes gross and chemical. I am very disappointed.
