The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

All those books about the declines and falls of empires that I never read.... do they cover how dumb things were? I was unprepared for how dumb things were going to get.

Animal Farm was published on this day in 1945. Everything Orwell warned us about is now referred to as Orwellian, in an irony that can only be described as Kafkaesque.

Hey, thanks, airport. I guess I was unaware that Lincoln preserved the union and ended slavery through the cunning use of [checks notes] “civility.”

roombas are like if dogs did the opposite of shedding, but still needed you to ask “what’s in your mouth?” and then need you to forcibly remove the foreign object they’re chewing on, and then also they sometimes rearrange your furniture

Oh, geeze, Microsoft, thanks for re-enabling Copilot in the latest Windows update, after I very intentionally disabled it. I'm going to have to write a script to do this, aren't I. One more obnoxious maintenance task, because you are so disrespectful of our consent.
