my grandmother wanted to be cremated and we had to fight the local branch of the Orthodox Church tooth-and-nail over it, because that would mean she wouldn't be present for the Resurrection. According to her will that was the whole point, she believed God was real and she didn't want to talk to him.

More people have been on the moon, than on Big Ben/Mawson Peak, a massive stratovolcano. Our island is so anthropological remote, eruptions are typically only witnessed by us. In the words of our famous Sealvester Stallone: “Get your tiny hands off of Heard.”

FrostPoint Dynamics has won a Gov Grant to continue R&D on anti-human encroachment capabilities. Overt and clandestine technology will allow Heard Island’s growing military to defend and even pre-empt any interference with our Sub-Antarctic island Sovereignty.

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Sec of Health to non-aquatics : “If you feel like you’re submerged & drowning in this world; remember that a depth of 30’ and 2’ from the surface feels similar, and the best way to truly know the difference is to just keep swimming. They count on our despair, knowing 1” is all it takes. So swim.”

Our foreign secretary has confirmed that America did indeed forget to hit the OFF button after April Fool’s day. Unfortunately, it may be permanently stuck on now much like daylight savings time and QR code menus. We must keep our Flippers Up and fight on.

Soooo this flight went fine but on tonight’s return flight to DCA we had to abruptly abort our landing after touching down to avoid crashing into another plane on the runway. After another loop around we landed safely but it was quite scary.
Flying out of DCA today, pilot acknowledged people are anxious given recent “high profile aviation events” (euphemism of the century) & assured us that he & his copilot have 45 years of combined experience and will “take good care” of us. Also asked folks to not take things out on flight attendants
