A fitting episode to have watched on the 1959 Philco Predicta Holiday (Recorded July 3, 2023)

there's always this weird pressure where I feel like I'm too gloomy and too serious, and need to be happier and more 'fun' on social media why? why does social media have to revolve so much about us trumpeting how wonderful we're doing? why do we always have to hide so much?

The skunker

I'd really love to be able to live in a walkable city again, but they are hard to find in the US-and when you do, they are usually very hard to afford I'd be curious to see a list of the most affordable walkable cities, I wonder what they'd be?

comforting things: that pleasant smell in old desk drawers, like ink and paper, it feels so reassuring

of all the afflictions that are merely pesky but not fatal, monkey butt is among the most annoying

with so many furs against AI, it's weird how much money and support we still give to Nvidia, X and other big players in the AI world: our resistance is well intentioned, but porous

some furs find it ironic to be called stinky by a skunk, but after all, we're the experts! if a skunk says you're stinky, you're stinky

reply, and I'll say how stinky you are, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 = stimky)

Alright I am making an Evil Company™️ tier list. Who’s a truly evil company? Strong worldwide impact is preferred

There should be a Great Hall of Statues in the UK, and in this Great Hall will be statues of all the Prime Ministers; each one gets a statue where the height is determined by making each statue 1 foot tall, for each year of service, pro-rated for portions thereof

try to picture each bedroom you've ever had: where the bed was, what the room was like, what the house or apartment was like, starting with your current bedroom, and going back from there as far as you can since we spend such a great deal of time in bed, and that it's such an intimate place

A decade or two ago, it felt like you were exploring the internet; now, it feels like the internet is exploring you; the stance has very much shifted from active to passive

what is a feature you'd like Bluesky to add? (aside from simply functioning) Mine would have to be polls. I love posting crazy, arbitrary polls on stuff to start conversation and just for the fun of it

tempting 50s vase, but it's $100 on Ebay

I have concluded that I enjoy a good Italian ice more than ice cream, especially watermelon
