What makes going out to eat in the U.S. much less fun is the fact that your time is limited. The table has to turn over to someone else after the allotted time and I hate it. I don’t appreciate people telling me I have to go.

A surprising exception to this is the original Juniors in downtown Brooklyn. They let you sit and sit and they keep filling your water glasses and coffee cups.

Rare gems, places like this.

From what I’ve heard, the UWS used to be pretty chock full of places like this.

Cafe Lalo was like this years ago, but I don’t know how anything in Manhattan is anymore.

@exchgr Glad to say the haunted, empty reflecting pools of the Vale remain unrestored

@exchgr calling that area a rose garden is a category 5 euphemism

I love it there and so did the baby. We all took in the energies.

My husband bought me a new cereal bowl with two sections because I don’t like soggy cereal. He said it was painful to watch me pour milk from a glass repeatedly into the cereal bowl.

When I was a kid, my mom used to always say “It’s easier to be nice than to be mean.” I think it’s true.

“It’s hard to be right but it’s easy to be kind” has become my go to critique of the American right

I’m not sure how this line from “Game Night” (2018) became a regular reference in our house, but I’m really glad it happened.

What a fun movie.

Idk what that is but divine lyricism in that pair of lines

tfw when you try to make a website real good but you slept real bad because you didn’t get out of the house and you probably need to spend all day in the woods instead

@exchgr
Go to the woods the woods will make the website

The woods were calling me today and I didn't heed and look at me now

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr
🙌🏻

I can feel the woods I didn’t go to today.

I tried to take my friend to the vale of cashmere on Tuesday to show her the nexus of mostly evil energies emanating from it, but we didn’t make it, and now the call is hounding.

I suspect that's only going to anger the spirits.

They added an entrance on to that long stretch of Flatbush and everything has been hurly burly in the world since.

That place is basically the White Lodge from TP.

Mount Prospect Park is way haunted, not sure by who. Maybe former residents of Eastern Parkway?

Then there's that tall hill in the south end that's clearly filled with soldiers and officers from the Revolutionary War.

"The Vale" is still doing something additional though. It's containing some kind of vortex. I'm so curious what the cleanup has done to the energies.

@exchgr Alls I know is:

  1. She's a genius
  2. She has half a million followers on TikTok

@exchgr For once and finally that word applies

@exchgr She's also Tim and Eric-y, but the centrality of her own face and body and voice is unique as far as I can tell. Cindy Sherman shit.

i actually use my iPad mini 6 way more than i ever used my old 2018 iPad pro 11”, mostly because it’s light enough that a) it doesn’t hurt my wrists if i try to read on it for long periods, and b) i almost never don’t want to take it with me out of the house

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr That second one is hugely compelling shooooooot

@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr I am almost never glad when I pack my iPad unless I have an express purpose for having it, and even then it’s a minor schlep

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr My iPhone is working fine except the camera crashes routinely, so I’m thinking of always carrying my tiny mirrorless

I’ll put it on the kitchen table now as a commitment device for tomorrow

Apple’s ‘Crush’ Ad for the New iPad Pros Is, Well, Getting Crushed

Hadn’t thought of the cultural angle, but it is an odd ad for a company obsessed with perceptions of its environmental impact.
