“Find what you love, and let it kill you.” -- Charles Bukowski (allegedly)

As always, the EU works for European capital, and couldn't give a fuck about European citizens.

*sad trombone noise*

Humiliating for NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte, who just yesterday was telling us that the US is "completely committed" to NATO.

One of the best games ever.

THIS. Where is the standard for health funding as a per cent of GDP? Or education funding? Or welfare?

“Traylor! Put on your shacket so you don’t catch cold!”

One might also say BA passengers are being treated to a lovely view of Pratt's Bottom.

I guess that’s one way to move yourself six hours closer to your inevitable, looming death.

California NIMBYs oppose a bill that legalizes denser housing near transit because it “discriminates against disabled people”… I wish I was making this up if you live in California, call or email your state senator in support of SB79 because building more housing near transit is good, actually

Liberals love to sneer at poor people, then wonder why they don’t vote Democrat. Those stupid poors, getting what they deserve, eh?

My Apple Watch informs me I’m “smashing” my exercise ring this week.

One of my current distractions is the YouTube channel of a NZ guy who’s outsourced his entire life to ChatGPT. Yes, really.

Christmas in July just gets worse.

Hang this in the Louvre.

The best thing about this is that he fought so hard to get here, and he’s got another 4 years of it to suffer through.

Considering how much of the online left is defending the stupid “you should let strangers use your bank account to funnel money to people in a foreign country because vibes” discourse, perhaps it’s understandable why we so rarely win.

"I'd do it myself but.....you know."

I have pinkeye, which has obviously been caused by reading your skeets.

Apropos my screen name, the Functional Melancholic has released a new video, in his inimitable style, discussing why we yearn for the asteroid. "We want the game to end, so we can stop pretending we understood the rules in the first place."

You have to almost admire someone who can make the unhinged prison ranting in Mein Kampf look erudite and intellectual.

I always point to Vivid any time someone tells me “Australia doesn’t have culture.”

This. If your post gets any attention, you’ll get arrogant, unwanted replies from serious know-it-alls. It feels so tedious sometimes.

Went to the Technikmuseum Sinnsheim today, the only place outside Russia where you can see a Tu-144. Nifty.

Social media is like if you massively scaled up those experiments where people will self-administer electric shocks instead of sitting alone with their thoughts.

Under communism, when you paste something into a word document, it will paste without formatting by default.

Wishing {Lufthansa} a very {go fuck yourself}.

More delays, though I’d expect nothing less of @lufthansa.bsky.social, the flying Deutsche Bahn. This after my original flight was cancelled.

It must be so sad to live your life as Babet, so desperately needy of attention and validation that you perform like a seal.

Drinking cocktails is self care.

Something about the whole techbros making content about Stoicism as a productivity hack makes me sad. Perhaps a most concentrated example of the philistinism and degeneracy of the age.
