Yes, one of these shelves was installed incorrectly. I’m leaving it as an Ozymandias-style warning about hubris.

If you start watching this now, at midnight - or anytime you finish - you’ll have taken in one of the best movies of all time. If that’s not enough, it might just prepare you for a great year of being yourself.

Inside text: “An abundance of thanks to you.”

I sincerely hope the designer of this was inspired by Severance. Or that it was the other way around.

Today I learned the ZIP code for non-US addresses is 001, while the international phone code for the US is 001.

Haven’t read this for a long time. It’s amazing how much I remember of Pynchon's cutting observations and endlessly lyrical humor. His sardonic, head-spinning, bawdy tales are as American as it gets.

Oh, good, something to agitate me (the content) while making me laugh (the writing).

Thanks @elienyc.bsky.social !

Laughed out loud at the terse phrases used to tease and intrigue, deployed as quick asides from a supposedly superior mind that Knows. A mind that is deigning to inform the hoi polloi of the Future. Exactly like Chief Executive Dumbass' Apprentice on Twitter.

My first pass at parsing this was:
- questions dog = dog that is a press secretary
- is Trump's pick for adviser
- but the dog has an inconsistent resume
- ergo: yet another terrible choice
- still, cool that a dog even got that job
- hooray English
