International rail travel in Europe is so much worse than it should be. Why did I just save 40€ by buying my Wrocław->Prague ticket on the Czech railways site vs Polish railways? Why does one have a promo and not the other?

I loved my grandmother, but I'm glad she passed before social media was there to drive a wedge between us, because she was proof that all that crazy faux-med shit existed way before Facebook.

My 9 year old just walked in asking me to take a photo of her because she's having a good hair day.

The same people who told me that the reason a family of 4 has to live in a small, 1 br/2 room flat is the failures of socialism, now tell me that the same scenario is a natural outcome of capitalism.

Today the NYT asks "Why Did So Many People Delude Themselves About Trump?" as though they didn't spend a year sanewashing him and underreporting the out of control shit he said.

In German Rote Insel means Red Island, but in my broken chronically online brain it means Rote Incel: a typical incel who doesn't really have anything to add.

I know movie tickets are more than they should be, but do we really need Klarna as a payment option?

Seems like I'm sticking with these bluer skies, so time to post more stuff. I don't just draw soothing fish. I also love drawing monsters, ghosts, and spooky shit. I'm sure there's a good hashtag for me to use to get said spooky shit out to the world more. @stonkers.bsky.social, do you know one?

I found an activity center in the park next to our house. There's a woodworking workshop there. Register via email, the guy has a personal domain. I look it up. Former Scala dev. Somehow very fitting.

Once you start looking critically at it, it’s wild to what degree American media teaches Americans to lick boots.

All the talk on tariffs I've been reading has been from the US point of view. I think it's going to be exciting to see the rest of the world strengthen economic ties between each other. I said it 8y ago, and it's true today: Trump's legacy will be the weakening of the US as a superpower.

If you don't think the west has gotten more progressive in the past 35 years, I'm watching a movie from 1990 where a mom is happy to discover that the only reason her kindergarten aged child is playing with dolls is because he uses them to look up girls' skirts.

One thing most Americans don't know is how cheap electronics have always been in the US. iPhone 16 Pro Max in Germany starts at $1600 vs $1200 in the US. A high-end Canon lens at B&H in NYC + a 1st class ticket was cheaper than buying locally in Poland. Let's see how long that holds up

One thing that will never stop making me mad is when road infrastructure fucks up public transit infrastructure. Currently, a car bridge on the ring has blocked the s-bahn. The thing about the ring is that it's an inner ring. Traffic goes around Berlin via a different ring road made of autobahns.

Reading a post from a guy who's wife filed for divorce "because of a lack of communication" but also, it "came out of nowhere". Like... one of those things is probably true.

There's a loader on the Polish railway (PKP) website and... do they know trains shouldn't hop their tracks? Judging by the quality of the booking experience THEY DON'T.
