A frenzied download of “bogs and fens attributes table” for a national park in Australia to settle an argument you are having with yourself in your own head is a true sign that is bedtime

One very insidious form of union busting is that cars used to be built with horns that sounded supportive. Now they’re all built with a hostile beep. This is clearly to demoralise the picket lines.

I’m trying to TNR these 50 barn cats so I put out two delicious plates of cooked meat to convince them my back door is the place to be. This was at like 5pm but they haven’t copped to it yet. I have to go to bed now, and I know I’m going to be woken up by the most insane eating sounds all night long

I never put “attention to detail” in job applications because I have a theory that this makes the recruiters look for typos then smugly reject you

About to get on a flight from America back to Ireland and there are two men at the gate with leather hats and fiddle cases. It needs to be made illegal to make a single noise on any flight between America and Ireland.

I have a theory that instagram comment language (“…I fear”, “it’s not that deep”, “is it acoustic”) is introducing a new variety of callousness into how people think about and interact with other humans

There is a type of like pop science journalism geared toward educated liberals (your Kara swishers, your freakonomics, etc) that I think has the potential to rot your brain nearly as much as Joe Rogan type stuff

Listening Lyric FM (classical music station) this morning. Someone requested a song from the Babe: Pig in the City soundtrack and they played it

Your phone should communicate data with apps to tell them if you and another person exchanged hundreds of texts per day five years ago then abruptly stopped and unfollowed each other on instagram, because OBVIOUSLY you do know them, and OBVIOUSLY you do not want to add them in Snapchat

Fucking RTÉ commentators will literally call Paris “Paree” but refuse to even try to say the names of Japanese players correctly

Have a job interview coming up, googled to see what the deal is. Found a guy on Reddit who claims the employer told him “not to even bother” because he was “too good” for the job, so of course I fell down a delightful rabbit hole of his totally, unequivocally wrong replies in other threads

The weird bullying is just too much so I think I’ll have to quit my job, which is a shame because the work is relaxing and the hours very reasonable. I thought this was the answer to burnout, but it’s not. Turns out jobs that don’t feel like work also have people who don’t understand what work is.

The biggest problem with doing research in a field of about 50 total researchers is that half of them will be the enemies of your advisor

As I get older Brutalist architecture becomes more and more attractive to me, but it will always evoke a piss smell. It has a lot of hidden spaces to piss in, and also was used for the types of public buildings people would be pissing all over anyway

Remember when Bob Lazar told Art Bell that the aliens held in Area 51 have salmon-like flesh? Obviously, Gordon Ramsay has been called in to cook these delicious aliens for our hedonist oligarchs, and this is what will start the intergalactic war. The aliens will sous vide us all. Just my two cents.

A Vinted seller put a Maoam in my order as a wee thank you treat. It’s one of the sweetest gestures I’ve seen but obviously eating it would be weird, right?
