“Let my people goth.” - Emoses

Like if a Batman Villain f'd a groundhog and if you see their offspring you might get six or more weeks of being unemployed.

I saw a creature today—like a Groundhog in that spotting it is a portent. A skinny omen in shabby gamer clothes.

Mentally rewriting the Piña Colada song to be about hopefully getting a new job this week.

This me still cracks me up.

The soft animal of my body loves food that gives me heartburn

Squish-faced timeline cleanse.

Brian Eno perfectly explains selfishness of the super-rich (March 21, 2025) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh7C...

Let the small animal of your body nosh what it wants to nosh.

Poke the bear.

My neighbors have never understood that garbage is Tuesday/Friday, recycling is Tuesday, and corpses are Mondays.

Shoutout to the woman in the fur lined parka who has been cussing into her phone for four full stops as we reach the end of the green line on this fine morning of a 70 degree day.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

Fact-check: True

Shoutout to the nice lady at Target who, as she unlocked the cabinet so I could get my Zzquil, said, “Grab what you want at your own risk but no cooking cause that’s dangerous and I’m your neighbor, God bless.”

When is the president going to investigate Russian involvement in Transmicetria?

Shoutout to the young fellow using the “emergency use only” doors to move to an empty metro car to smoke his joint in peace at 7:24 on this fine Tuesday morning.

Red Rider really oversold our preparedness and our wise to you this time ness.

Sing along with my commute. This one goes out to the zen garden in the courtyard of my government building. youtu.be/oWHA-bNHp7A?...

I’m guessing I shouldn’t wear my Путин хуйло t-shirt to work tomorrow.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Has anyone warned the administration about the subversive liberal threat of Opus DEI?

The Government Efficiency notice of Government Efficiency Evasion: You have an unpaid toll bill on your account. To avoid late fees pay now. The Government Efficiency team wishes you a great day!

I’m gonna spend all next week planning out my five bullet points for the week after that.

Who knew dystopia would be dystupid?

Think Tank Called ‘The Himmler Institute’ Assures Nation This All Legal

Dentist: You're going to feel some pressure. Me: Ok Dentist: You have a lot of potential, but your inability to commit to one thing means that you might just spend your life too overwhelmed by options to actually accomplish anything.

Feeling a bit like little Acorn here.

Weirdly, people do not do their best work when constantly under stress. Whodathunkit?
