Yes, people really refer to “a war on cars” when any other transportation option gets the slightest bit of attention.

I’m here to say it’s okay if you don’t get the warm fuzzies about Mother’s Day. Many of us do not. ❤️

Was about to make a joke I'm sure other, more talented writers have made years before me…but then I deleted it!

Please pat me on the back and tell me you're proud of me.

In the future only 65% of all media production will have stories involving multiple universes, as opposed to today’s 80-85%.

My son just said, “All the juices from my childhood are gone now,” and wow was that some big league nostalgia.

Saw an excessive amount of people out today wearing green and it took me a while to realize what date it is. #AmReallyIrish

It really infuriates me that I've had several maladies over the past decade -- including my famous “I don't get 6 hours of sleep, I sleep 1.5 hours 4 times” -- and ALL of them seem to have been cured/lessened dramatically by starting HRT, which I initiated on my own.

ONE doctor saying, Hey, you seem to have been born before…uh...the Carter administration, how about we try this?" would have saved me days and thousands of dollars of searching for what the hell was going on.

Today's pro-tip:

If you have to do a Google search, use “before:2023" at the beginning of your search string. You get a completely different (and IMO much more usable) set of results.

The web has died.

(Downtown. I finally see a Cybertruck.)

Me: Wow. That is as ugly and stupid-looking as I’ve heard.

DH: That one is in better shape than most of the ones I’ve seen.

Goddammit, I’m paying for Amazon Prime (inc the vig for no ads) and this show supposedly on Prime is really on “Freevee” SO I’M GETTING ADS???

Thanks, I hate everything about this.

Another goddamn show where there’s a mixture of bland, good-looking people…and once again the (only) black guy dies first.

Honestly, once you see how common it is, you can’t not see it.

Have Jack-in-the-boxes ever not been creepy? Do children like them or were they invented by horror film makers?

Farming areas know perfectly well they need immigrants to do this work. They just don’t want brown people to have rights or security. American capitalism is based on slavery. https://civileats.com/2024/02/07/a-florida-immigration-law-is-turning-farm-towns-into-ghost-towns/

I realize this makes me a total peasant but I started reading “Pedro Páramo,” said, “What the actual fuck is happening here,” and switched to “El Asesinato de Pitágoras.”

Guys, I’m watching this movie and they do a tarot reading for the main detective and you’re never going to believe which card they turned over to indicate she’s in danger!!!

An eye-opening moment for me (sadly can’t remember where or with whom) was an interview with a film director — Russian, I think. VERY paraphrased:

Q: “Who makes the most political films?”
Director: “The US.”
Q: “Are you kidding?”
Director: “You make movies where the high school boy comes home from afterschool sports to his gigantic house and he opens the refrigerator that’s full of food and he can’t decide what to eat. It’s the most political thing there is.” https://mastodon.social/@courtcan/111806330212622762
