viciously guarding my knitting
a gray cat with his mouth open mid-yawn. his tongue is poking out and his teeth are showing. He's leaning against a purple sweater

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it
The cover of the Beirut album Gulag Orkestar. Sepia toned and blurry. A woman in a short black dress leans against the center front of an old white car. A person in a long jacket and slacks leans against the left side of the car (from the viewers pov)

I was trying to look up an article I remember from the hairpin and instead found this
The URL and brand was resurrected with SEO-optimized AI-generated articles in 2024. Some articles remain, but the bylines have been replaced with generic male names. The new owner, a Serbian DJ named Nebojša Vujinović Vujo, bought the site because it had "great reputation and excellent backlinks." Vujo was able to buy the domain because the previous owners had let it lapse.

my favorite party guest is the person who asked me to explain these giant squash
two long trombocino quashes on a brown table. they are yellow and light orange, long and thin with a wider oval shape at one end, kind of what you might get if you stretched a butternut squash out vertically.

it's like bragging about the good deal they got on cheerios at the market
screenshot of responses on bluesky with names and photos redacted. User 1: getting high so I can also use no memory and keep chats to a minimum User 2: probably cost you less than $200/month, too. Haha. User 3: that's 5 oz of good shake at a Colorado dispensary. depends on your tolerance, I guess User 4: That's only 4x 1h carts of Fernway's Red-headed Stranger, which is pretty close to a month's worth for a bougie old man. User 5: I can get 15 grams of amazing wax from a shop in one of the more expensive parts of California. Most of the people in that same shop get an experience more like yours. Buy wisely!

when you cant figure out how to transition from scene five to scene six
A screen cap from The Sopranos. Carmella is walking away from her boyfriend after breaking things off. In a famously weird edit, the scene goes into slow motion, pauses, and then a new scene fades in from the right.

celebrated California folk outfit?
A Facebook ad for a Mountain Goats concert in Portland that says, "Portland! Celebrated California folk outfit The Mountain Goats play Revolution Hall on December 8th and 9th. Tickets are on sale now" above a black and white photo of the band.

A screenshot from an article that reads: The right is a libidinal formation; it is, for many of its proponents, especially those who aren’t wealthy enough to materially benefit from it, a structure in which to have fun. A hobby, almost. Sartre’s injunction to remember that antisemites are primarily “amusing themselves” is true of most – perhaps all – right wing discourse, no matter how serious it seems or how terrible its real-world effects. As such, the right are strongly averse to any sort of reality-testing. It is, to them, beside the point whether anything they say stands up to the tests developed by the sciences and humanities, including those which determine (insofar as such a determination can be made) whether a piece of art is ‘good’, or at least serious.

I finally started using Storygraph instead of Goodreads but I hate this aspect of it. What good does it do me to know that 34% of people think that the answer to "Strong character development?" is "Complicated"? What Does That Mean

I think about this article every time I get a push notification about a shooting

A screenshot from the article that read: This is how it happens. Precisely what you’re feeling now. The numbing litany of bad news. The ever rising outrages. People suffering, dying, and protesting all around you, while you think about dinner. If you’re trying to carry on while people around you die, your society is not collapsing. It’s already fallen down. I was looking through some old photos for this article and the mix is shocking to me now. Almost offensive. There’s a burnt body in front of my office. Then I’m playing Scrabble with friends. There’s bomb smoke rising in front of the mall. Then I’m at a concert. There’s a long line for gas. Then I’m at a nightclub. This is all within two weeks.

I think this is honestly one of the stupidest books that I've ever read and I've read like... a lot of books.
A screenshot from an ebook that reads: Threeworld is the third planet in Rocky’s home system. At least, Threeworld is what I call it. The Eridians don’t have a name for it, even in their own language. Just a designation: “Planet Three.” They didn’t have ancient people looking up at astronomical bodies and naming them after gods. They only discovered other planets in their system a few hundred years ago. But I don’t want to say “Planet Three” all the time, so I’ve named it Threeworld.

omg shut UP
A screenshot from an ebook that reads: Rocky’s data about Planet Adrian was dead-on. It’s 3.93 times Earth’s mass and has a radius of 10,318 kilometers (almost double Earth’s). It’s plugging along around Tau Ceti with an average orbital velocity of 35.9 kilometers per second. Plus, he had the position of the planet correct to within 0.00001 percent. That data was all I needed to work out the insertion thrust needed.
