I came here to do Linguistics and Nonprofit Accounting, and I’m all out of both.
On today’s episode of “Things That Anyone But Becky Would Struggle To Give Even A Fraction Of A Shit About”: They changed the Livewire packaging again! And went from Mtn Dew back to Mountain Dew! I enjoyed the ‘90s-ass dollar-store-Zapdos electro-bird.

Me at least once a month to my partner: “Oh hey, did you know [internet celebrity] started on SomethingAwful?” “That meme is from, like, a 2002 Photoshop Phriday.” “God I wish I could use SA smilies on other apps; this post could really use an :iiam:.”

When I first joined Bluesky it kind of felt like most images contained alt text. It was a big thing. Now with so many people having come over it seems it’s fallen by the wayside, which is a shame because alt text assists the visually impaired and provides much needed context.

The U.S., as a nation, is woefully underutilizing one of our greatest resources: the 5 years we have left of Bo Burnham.

“Rawdog,” @americandialect.org's word of the year, has undergone at least two semantic shifts, from nonsexual to sexual and back to nonsexual. | Ht @caitlinmoriah.bsky.social @misterslang.bsky.social @wordorigins.bsky.social @lingsocam.bsky.social fritinancy.substack.com/p/word-of-th... #woty2024

There is a set of parrot-centric #TikTok videos that have osmosed into my brain as vocal stims/comfort media & I spent over an hour archiving them. Finished up; the app froze. Restarted, and BAM. At least I have plenty of Hamlet, Kiwi, Tiki, Other Tiki, BonkyBird, and Sprite to keep me going 🐦

I remember, back in the days of dial-up internet, there were people who were considered experts in their field because they *were* - they had proven it. Whether they were trusted or not didn’t depend on the whims of political ideology. We trusted Beakman, and in return he didn’t sell us horse meds.

I always name bodega cats after the product that is most prominent in their picture.

For example, meet Avocado!

Does this matter to anyone? Does being in the first million get me a hat?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #757,606!
