dread & circuses ♥️🖤🤍💚

(No I was not one of the kids who paid tuition to go there. My town was too small to have its own high school)

Oh man people are talking about my high school because of the prospective politician who went there and I was not prepared for the spike in anxiety this was going to give me

This is also the same institution that partially inspired My Dark Vanessa so as you can imagine it was Not a Good Time

Low-angle view of shelves of archives boxes in a dim room. Handle of a stepladder visible at right.

I've got to get this light fixed because I am literally in the dark archives

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

I don't know what autistic burnout hacks are going to work on my being so spiritually exhausted by just leaving the house

The thing about Donald Trump is that he really only loves three things: murder, theft, and rape

The other thing about Donald Trump is that he only really hates three things: laws, democracy, and brown people

And if they were doing anything normal they could have just said they were doing that!! So wtf are they doing down there??

This image. Jesus Christ.

I feel insane thinking about this but isn't the presidential bunker under the former east wing? Like what were they going to do if they needed that and there was a bulldozer in the way? Is this whole project actually bunker-related? Every day the administration dares me to make a tinfoil hat

UM DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT A BUNCH OF FOUNDING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN PULLED OUT OF THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND ARE FLYING AROUND ON TOUR BECAUSE I MISSED THIS

I've been watching Industry and am wondering why at no point in the first 2+ seasons does Harper decide to just take some classes and finish her degree. LSE is right there?

Onion "Our Dumb Century" front page "from" the outbreak of World War 1: WAR DECLARED BY ALL AUSTRIA DECLARES WAR ON SERBIA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY DECLARES WAR ON FRANCE DECLARES WAR ON TURKEY DECLARES WAR ON RUSSIA DECLARES WAR ON BULGARIA DECLARES WAR ON BRITAIN OTTOMAN EMPIRE ALMOST DECLARES WAR ON ITSELF NATIONS STRUGGLE TO REMEMBER ALLIES

After I wrestle a fitted sheet onto the bed I feel like God's strongest soldier

Oh I know! Maybe instead of "no real reason" I should have said "no ethical reason"

Huge effort here against the wind farms mostly because of the views being "ruined" for the owners of multimillion-dollar mansions (& tourists). Some worries about wildlife & impacts on fishing, but climate change might be a bigger threat. Trump keeps trying to stop construction for no real reason.

I have been seeing a lot of surreal windmill-building ships in my area on the other side of the ocean, too. We're all getting very into learning about what they all do

Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing.

Persephone: Thank you.

Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.

Ok even my deaf ass can tell the sound quality on Qobuz is superior to Spotify

I have been watching Trixie and Katya's "fuck Pam Bondi" conversation on repeat

Imagine me writing "do not watch Democracy Now before bed" over and over on a chalkboard

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

What stage of the apocalypse is this?

What are you guys using to listen to podcasts if you are not using Spotify?

Unfortunately Qobuz does not have the full Sparks catalog but I will soldier on regardless ;__;

Finally cancelled my Spotify subscription and am working on moving everything over to Qobuz, which I really hope rebrands at some point because I have no idea how to pronounce it

OK

Someone almost hit me a few minutes ago peeling out blind from a driveway onto a narrow street, so that was cool

I got my car back today and it looks brand new. Dentless. Pristine. Mirror intact. When I got in I saw they had detailed the inside unexpectedly and I wanted to go back and apologize

Oh yeah I only care about normal people's money/info being safe, although I don't even know if that is the sort of thing that's most vulnerable

My boss's husband works in cybersecurity and apparently the threats against financial institutions have started to escalate. I don't know how not to be incredibly bleak about everything all the time

Obviously I am happy to support the Girl Scout troops and have been known to Venmo some random mom outside a store for cookies but I also wonder why the price of cookies has outpaced inflation since I was a Brownie like 30 years ago
