This is DEFINITELY a better version of England/Wales (no Home Counties! no London!!), but I have Concerns.

Ticket get! Fi-fucking-nally, too! (I had tickets to 2020, then ... 2020 happened, then 2023 was the day before a friend's wedding in the Greek countryside so *that* was unlikely.)
Really looking forward to coming back to Ljubljana, it's one of my favourite cities.

I'm sure the US has enough cigarettes, blindfolds, earthen berms, and bullets to deal with this.
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Y'all think "as a running joke, we are referencing the name of a song we like!" is "brainrot"? Please. You are baby. Exposure to 60 seconds of Dada would kill you instantly. Y'all're the motherfuckers who started fistfights in the audience of Victory Over the Sun (1913) because you "didn't get it"

Amidst accumulating governmental rot in Western society, the slow but steady spoolup of fascism, and a culture of indifference to mass death, people in the 1920s invented "absurdism" (the flip-face of existentialism) as an artistic weapon and way of describing reality in a world that resisted truth.
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"
But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"
Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:
🫴 six-seven 🫳

I have never, not once, encountered the "Gen Z Stare". And do you know why? It is because I am incapable of making eye contact
Have u ever considered the possibility the reason they hit u with "Gen Z Stare" is you keep saying asinine shit

Ye gads, this brings me a ton of sadness as someone who've only briefly interacted with you both over the years, I can't imagine how it feels to be on the inside. My greatest condolences.

I basically gave up on life in the first five minutes of Black Widow when they did the plaintive breathy version of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Oh shit, I'd entirely missed that book three came out (and I've been very out of the loop on new genre fiction in general). Time to shop, I guess.

It's going to be a wild few years of an absolutely unusable internet while the CEOs realize that trying to mug every user at every level while also having AI generate all their content isn't 100% feasible.

for redundancy, every cargo container should be simultaneously delivered on two boats and opportunistically retried. then the recipient can simply ignore duplicate deliveries.
It’s almost like we should have noticed the boats are a single point of failure last time
