Some rando on LinkedIn contacted me and asked me for career advice. I ain't falling for that. If what he learns is "don't talk to strangers," then I could not have taught a better lesson.

A plantain is just a banana who joined the Peace Corps.

People have really complex relationships with their stuff. My grandparents all grew up in the dirt-poor South during the Depression, and my in-laws came to America with a suitcase. While it sounds like a virtue not to throw things away, wait till you have to clean up an estate for someone like that

I celebrated what would've been Mom's 80th birthday the way she would have wanted: Taking a bunch of useless clutter and tossing it in the trash.

I remember one time I showed my father the bubble level app on my phone and I don't think he was ever more disappointed in me.

“Hoodoo you love?”

I’m playing my favorite quinquagenarian game of “What’s Spasming Now?”

There is a tempo below which the human mind cannot perceive music as music. I'm not sure what number it is, but what I am sure of is that Weedeater found it

Maybe the craziest strays anyone has ever caught were for Patti Smith in Hypernormalisation

Sometimes when doing genealogy research you stumble upon stuff that leaves you speechless.

If you want some scary viewing, do a search on Japanese macroeconomics right now. To say they are looking to sell USTs to repatriate money is an understatement

We would've also accepted, "Why Kevin just Warsh-ed out."

// Define variables startYear = -10000; endYear = 1934; targetUser = "Aq'ab'al"; // Plow that dirt For( year = startYear, year <= endYear, year++, If( targetUser == 'Aq'ab'al', Show( year, "farmer" ), Show( year, "not farmer" ) ) );

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

me, whenever i eat a stalk of celery

If there's a problem that can't be solved using marsupials I'm just not interested in it

Hi guys, so if anyone is familiar with my house, do you know somewhere good I can hide a dozen two-liter bottles of Diet Pepsi without Señora Aq'ab'al beating me to death with our souvenir vuvuzela?

(emerging from cave) don't go in there, there's discourse

woke up angry about wood glue

I would pay actual money to see Archie Barnes as the title character in Henry V

The worst part of this is, if you do the sane thing in these circumstances, i.e., duct-taping the evangelizer’s mouth shut, then the evangelizer will just view your actions as persecution and therefore validating. Yes, there is Matthew 6:5-6, but there is also Matthew 5:10-12.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

adam curtis needs to make a documentary linking the genocides, maga, iran war, epstein island, fifa, and argentina into a sort of “Hypernormalisation II” cuz you know the mf can do it

I’ve dwelt upon the things I have seen come to pass recently and it has left me a little broken. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, this is true, but it’s worse than that — all relationships under capitalism seem unethical as well.

I'm tired of this AI nonsense. I want to enjoy something made with love and care by humans working with older, allegedly "primitive" methods. I'm gonna listen to Kraftwerk.

This is the same about people. I think basically there's this one universal wave of consciousness and when it overlaps with the waves of space time at a certain place you get the interference pattern of each """person"""

I have no hope after the last couple of weeks at work. There was so much backstabbing some people had to be stabbed in the front because there was nowhere else left to stick the knives in.

There is nothing more tired in basketball discourse than LeBron James’ legacy and the fact he just signed with some random team should tell you what a waste of time it all was
