I'm on a train and just overheard someone say, "Whole mass loads of ICE." I started looking around for uniforms before realizing I'm in the UK and they mean ice 🧊

This timeline sure is something.

Global warming: I'm going to the UK in August and bringing multiple pairs of shorts but considering only one sweater.

Read news -> Scream into the void -> Listen to KPop Demon Hunters at a ridiculous volume -> Repeat.

Why is there a Happy Gilmore 2 and who the hell asked for it?

I was today years old when I realized I still hit cmd+S to save while working in Google Docs even though I am online and it's autosaving. My computer teacher from the 1900's would be proud.

Millennial moment of the day: blaring The Distillers while driving to Trader Joe's.

The Offspring comes on and I think, "Fuck yeah, time to put away dishes!"

...oh god, what have I become?

Turn off my phone? But that's my emotional support connection to the horrors of humanity.

Me: Hey Siri, play Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Siri: Here's "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.
Me: ...well that's not right but it's not the most wrong.

I'm not saying the news wire photographers kept intentionally lining Trump's head up with the Easter Bunny's ears, but they were absolutely doing that

It's 10:15pm. There are two people sitting on a bench in the park across from my building. One of them has rams horns. I want to ask so many questions--Who are you? Where did your horns come from? What are you talking about? But they look deep in thought so I guess I'll make up my own stories.

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.
I've come along to this take after kneekerk cynicism. Doing stuff that grabs attention is good. Not every action has to accomplish everything. You can praise and be happy about a step forward. We're going to need many steps forward.
yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.

is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

I don't want the confidence of a mediocre whit man--I want tbf confidence of someone who crosses a Baltimore city street without looking at the traffic while they do so.

Are there any good movies about cryptids? I feel like there should be good movies about cryptids.

Had a really good first date recently. How soon is too soon to discuss our plans for getting through the collapse of our country? Do we need to send dark humor memes for a few days first?

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on.

But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS.

We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.
