Your hometown weatherman is waiting for you, as you remember him, thanks to the incredibly large community of VHS weirdos over on YouTube

I need a new normie podcast or two. I've been stuck on the same rotation of lefty doomer slop for like five years now and while it's all very funny and smug and online, I'm feeling more confident that this shit is making me miserable over the long run.

imagine picking your kid up from middle school and they look like they've been crying and when you ask them what's wrong they start explaining this to you

"Why would a data broker delete your information?" Another excellent video by the best sponsor-critical channel on YouTube (and one of my favorites all-around) @rejectconvenience.com

Apparently Citizen's Bank debit cards are just broken right now. One of my friends asked if I had heard anything after she tried to get her morning coffee. I checked Down Detector, aaaand... shit, man.

YouTube's pushed me into those "off-grid cabin in the Alaskan wilderness" channels. One couple seems really normal except the guy is always strapped. Like, he's inside his finished, locked home in the middle of nowhere laying insulation in the attic with a Glock 21 on a shoulder holster. Ominous!

The signals are starting. They're less in the vessel trackers and more in the cargo volumes. Just be careful not to jump on every little bit of news that confirms your priors.

Every former addict understand why Narcan should be stashed next to AEDs in every public space on the planet. You simply cannot witness the power of the drug and want anything else if you're a human being with an inner life.

hmm seems bad that there's a pretty credible case to be made that the party's most popular pollster is throwing elections to help out his group chat buddies

Signal and WhatsApp should just go ahead and make every private chat available to the public. Like, I'm willing to let my friends know about my petty beefs in exchange for exposing how, exactly, conservative columnists cooked the country's elite.

I want a stasis pod. It doesn't even have to be a perfect stasis pod. I'd settle for 10% consciousness and metabolism.

The neologism of addressing an unseen audience as "chat" is just fantastic. One of the best new slang words of my lifetime, amusing every time

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

Strangers were never talking to each other on planes to be nice. They're either business perverts trying to make another LinkedIn connection, drunk people flirting, or infrequent flyers trying desperately to forget that they're flying.

I guess the people who run these facilities aren't scared of their kids having classes with immigrants, or facing down immigrants in the aisles at the grocery store, or telling their neighbors where they work. Like, how does that actually work?
