Kendrick Lamar Awarded Nobel Beef Prize theonion.com/kendric...

So I've been consuming news with a sort of occasionally effective detachment recently. But this one I found too gravely offensive to feel dispassionately about: White House limits #AP access to Oval Office, Air Force One indefinitely over the use of ‘Gulf of Mexico’

I did my #taxes today. It looks like my federal return amounts to a whopping $1. Which is 1,200 more dollars than last year... But look at how accurate my default paycheckly tax contributions have been! That's something...

Also I (and one other) went to the new #Amoré in #FortWayneIN and had a time. I already knew going in that it was going to be a "quality over quantity" deal. So I ordered a bunch. But gosh, as delightfully tasty as all of the items were, maybe I'll save this place for special occasions only

"Mr #Kellogg, the man who created #CornFlakes, produced the cereal in the late 19th century and marketed it as a “healthy, ready-to-eat #anti-masturbatory morning meal”." Here's this fun history/commercial fact in case anyone was on the verge of forgetting about this:

"Well, that was weird." "Well, I could have done without the Kennedy family reference. I'm trying to escape here." "Well, that was weird." "Well, that was horrifying." "Well, that was weird and horrifying." -Me, finishing the second half of season 2 of the original #TwinPeaks

"Well, that was thoroughly and profoundly horrifying" - Me watching #twinpeaks for the first time

David Lynch: The Art Life is free to watch on The Criterion Channel (until end of January) www.criterionchannel.com/david-lynch-...

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

I shared this with an acquaintance today. And it occurred to me that it might be appropriate to perpetuate it on this platform as well:

An #idea occurred to me today and I don't have anything to write it down with but I don't have anyone here to stop me from realizing this profound idea, if it's even true.

Nosferatu?? Buddy you can just call him Dracula, Bram Stoker isn’t going to sue you anymore

I would like to verify the source of this article before sharing it, like its title and content encourages But all I could do was ask ChatGPT what it thought on the matter since my usual sources for such research were not working for the "the ink": chatgpt.com/share/676b1f...

Explain this, humankind

I patiently made this for my dad today. Maybe this will get thru to him...

I've been rereading #TheSublimeObjectOfIdeology lately and trying to actually comprehend it this time. This led me to try to understand #HegelianDialectics, obvs. So I was trying to fathom this (from #Wikipedia):
