Back when my sister and I would hang at the mall, sometimes we’d get bored and play this game of trying to get the highest number of random strangers to stare at the ceiling. We’d just walk down the mall, both looking at the ceiling as if looking for something specific.

You’d be amazed how contagious that is.

This movie made me want never to smile again, just for the fashion alone (sorry, poor joke).

It’s one of the most historically-accurate movies I’ve ever seen, and it makes me feel so bad for my ancestors.

Like, christ, life absolutely sucked and yet the colonists didn’t have it hard enough.

(e: look at the fashion in the movie though. It’s spot on. A masterclass in movie costuming, and that feels like an undersale. Just phenomenal dressing of this movie from every angle.
Dialogue too.)

Try to find your analogue in this world. Who would you be?

I can’t find the article now. It was either Vox, Forbes, or Hollywood Informer.

Now, all the top 30 pages of results come up with makeup artists speculating on what he’s doing to his hand to hide whatever bruising is happening there. I’m sorry, I wish I’d saved it. I’m sure the article is still somewhere if you care more than me to devote an hour to finding it.

Great movie, if you haven’t seen it.

We need you to die for us, but only if you have the right genitals.

Genitals win or lose wars, apparently.

If you’re assigned something to read, read it aloud to yourself. This engages not just the internal monologue part of your brain, but speaking and hearing parts, and your brain makes stronger pathways when more senses are engaged and working together.

Don’t buy (eta: or download) flash cards, draw them yourself. This engages sight and abstraction., plus motor skill areas.

Write your own notes, then read them aloud and highlight them yourself. So many parts of your brain make connections by doing this. Don’t just read. That’s not very helpful; you don’t have to study long if you study well.

I think there’s a name for this, but I’m tired and will rely on Cunningham’s whatever.

e: don’t forget about all of your senses – you have way more than 5.

A while ago I asked whether you are a do the good thing first or save it for later sort of person, like eat the best part or whatever.

Now I’m curious if it was a zombie apocalypse, would that change your calculation?

So not in daily life, but if you found something good but you know you’ll likely die soon.

Do you consume it all now (not just food, but media or friendship), or do you dole it out to yourself to make it last?

When I minimise the app and come back, or let my phone sleep and come back, Voyager puts a large blank border around the whole UI and begins behaving strangely. Sometimes it crashes, but most times, buttons and gestures stop working.

This happens when tabbing away or when the phone sleeps.

I started doing this a while ago– misgendering people who claim pronouns shouldn’t matter. It’s amazing how important they suddenly become to conservative guys when you start calling them ‘she’.

Like wait, it hurts your feelings when I refer to you as ‘she’? Is that… disrespectful of your gender identity?? 😱

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie roasted Attorney General Pam Bondi after she showed up on Capitol Hill with prepared insults to lob at critics while refusing to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. 

For hours while being grilled by lawmakers, Bondi repeatedly flipped through her binder while attacking lawmakers who dared to challenge her over the Justice Department’s botched handling of the documents on the pedophile.

“A funny thing about Bondi’s insults to members of Congress who had serious questions: Staff literally gave her flash cards with individualized insults, but she couldn’t memorize them, so you can see her shuffle through them to find the flash-cards-insult that matches the member,” Massie wrote on X on Wednesday afternoon.

The Kentucky lawmaker and regular Trump critic, who forced the vote to release the Epstein files, was one of the only GOP members to challenge Bondi over the Epstein probe.

This is literally how tariffs work. They don’t benefit you. They fuck you in your anus. We tried to tell you.

What on earth makes people think this is a desirable look? It’s grotesque. Like literally, in the classical art meaning, grotesque. Like living gargoyles. And many of them were actually beautiful before this butchery.

And go where? Someplace else that doesn’t want them?

Be real, you just want them to die. To be gone, permanently. Don’t address the reasons people are homeless. Don’t provide actual housing. They’ll be fodder for labour camps soon enough, anyhow.

Nevermind there are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S., many of which are owned not by individuals but by corporate conglomerates that have no incentive to fill them with people, since they’re a tax write-off.

Fuck everything about this. In modern society, housing should be a human right. There’s already more than enough to go round.

e: though now I think about it, what else should we expect from the US’s most famously notorious slumlord?

Show me all these 28 year olds who refuse to work. Because I see mostly 28 year olds who want to work but can’t find jobs, and a handful who wish they could work but are disabled.

This fucking out of touch hoser needs to spend a day in the real world.
