really epitomizes the American spirit that Rachel Maddow was pissing herself about how big No Kings was going to be, it was pretty big, and then all the MSNBC shows did was fawn over how much of a diva George Santos is

more I think about this conversation the more annoyed I get. I did the dumb person thing of being in awe that humans at one point figured out science and shit, e.g. lithium batteries. he was like, well lithium is an element. like yeah no shit dude. but you think humans were born with that knowledge?
tonight a man tried to tell me, someone from Boston, that Good Will Hunting was about Harvard and me, someone who read Holocaust memoirs in second grade, that WWII ended in 1946. NEXT

it’s really incredible what happens the minute the weather is over 70 and I can wear shorts outside, which is that I’m outside for literally less than 2 minutes before a man walks by and says “mind if I eat your pussy?” weirdly sinister as a question

my office is currently in a coworking space that has different snacks every day, often themed, and somehow I’m the only one immature enough to have a giggle when they had one called “lemon love”

my mom started responding to the song choice by saying “this piece of music” and I almost interrupted to be like YES this is cryptic as hell but she finished by saying “is really beautiful” so I had to be like “oh… yeah……”

very funny talking to people who have only lived in temperate or very cold climates who are like, “oh it’s supposed to be like 36 so it’ll just be rain, not snow” and having to be like oh the northeast does its craziest snowstorms at a mild 36. amateurs!

talking to my parents about the LA fires and my mom is talking about how they had a house fire in the 70s, after which the insurance company depreciated the value of their house and recouped all the money they paid out by going after the painter that caused the fire. absolute ghouls

Hinge highlighted this person for me, which I think highlights the sad state of my dating prospects (or highlights that I should lower my standards to someone who thinks they know how to use a semicolon but doesn’t)

it happened to me: I got bested by an anti-congestion pricing chud because he was fixated on how poorly it did in London and I, blinded by joy about it happening at all in New York, forgot

this is the same person who said that the MTA phasing out the R46s meant we were living in a police state and when everyone said “oh she’s just joking,” she doubled down and said it was a sign of New York’s innate colonialism. or something

as someone supposedly older than Wendy Sample, I’ve had this beef for a long time
As long as I’m talking about municipal issues, there is no way that Wendy Sample is a year older than me, and why does her signature not match her name?

I know she didn’t invent it but my favorite family lore, aside from the fact that I’m related to the first Jewish Miss America, is that she successfully advocated for unit pricing as NYC’s first Commissioner of the Department of Consumer Affairs (and was reportedly Ed Koch’s beard)
i feel like no one taught a lot of these kids about per unit cost? like, even if i buy the most expensive ingredients, the per unit cost of making chocolate chip cookies at home is still cheaper than buying them from a bakery.
as someone on the zoomer/millennial boundary i feel there's a legit problem with people not knowing how to purchase groceries
