The character I relate most to in all of fiction is the gigantic guy in Venture Bros who shouts IGNORE ME

I don’t think it’s ok to talk about shooting Elon when it’d be more fun if he got smooshed by an anvil or by a big giant mallet.

To add to this: I started e-reader shopping this week but realized Amazon gets nothing if I use my existing kindle for solely library books (which is basically what I do already) or if I upload books purchased elsewhere to the kindle.

I finished Autocracy Inc and my main takeaway is that the internet was a mistake and we should all return to the caves

Currently Reading: DOOM book and Doom book

ME: There’s no use in getting worked up about every individual, atomic thing. You need to take the long view and not get overwhelmed— THE NEWS: The guy in charge of diseases just passed a law saying everybody needs to get more diseases.

The lack of a flu vaccine is going to kill a bunch of people and they’re going to say it was 5G or some shit

Is bookshop.org evil? I am getting out of the kindle ecosystem

Signed up for CrossFit so I look good when I’m sent to Lexapro Labor Camp

Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Rubio.

Return to office allows everyone to spend ten minutes before every meeting trying to figure out why the TV isn’t working, if someone is on the phone, or to realize there aren’t enough chairs in the room and then go look for a chair. It’s invaluable team building.

Headline Generator: “(Insane Person) has been named (position of incredible power) by the Trump Administration” despite lacking any prior experience, and being insane.

My dad will now tell me if it’s the last time he’ll by a particular product before he dies. So today he bought a laptop and he used his last laptop for eight years so, he expects he’ll be dead before he needs another one.

Once the sixers really demonstrated they were garbage I mostly watched league pass wemby, this is unacceptable.

Mentally adding *as long doing so makes some lunatic incredibly wealthy* whenever an article about AI/Quantum Computing mentions some new discovery that *could* advance our understanding of the world

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. Here’s a tutorial on how to download your ebooks off of Amazon. You can use Calibre (free software) to reformat the kindle books to be used on other devices. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2DQuRqn/

i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season

Doctor’s appointment canceled at the last second “You have to call customer service” - 30mins of phone trees of later it’s because they didn’t my sex assigned at birth in my file. And now it’s weeks until another appointment. So I get why people are like “maybe I’ll just drink mercury” or whatever.

I went to buy comics and didn’t know this biography of DOOM existed and I made a loud noise when I saw it

Putting an eye dropper of fish tank cleaner in my ion water to detox my blood. Putting an eye dropper of fish tank cleaner on my shoes to run faster.
