Everyone has an angle on the Blue Origin space flight. I just want them to send the top 20 or so flat earthers up there. Will it help? No idea. But it would be infinitely more beneficial to humanity at large.

Having finally tried the Spring Red Bull (Grapefruit Blossom), if/when you can't find it, just drink a Fresca and take a caffeine pill; you will not be missing out.

Black Mirror reheated San Junipero's nachos. Y'all can call it Hotel Reverie if you want but Issa Rae + Emma Corrin repressed lesbian eternal consciousness in a simulation is no different from Mackenzie Davis + Gugu Mbatha-Raw repressed lesbian eternal consciousness in a simulation.

We gotta deliver our message in unlikely places! With that in mind, tomorrow I’ll be speaking at Coachella with my good friend TN Rep Justin Jones about movement building! If you’re in the desert, come out.

Oh I'm so surprised the Rich People are Bad or at Best Careless cinematic universe made the season finale Rich People are Bad or at Best Careless. Shocked, I say.

I don't want to hear recession takes from people who don't know what "Petty to you, for me, the whole vault" means tbf. There's a certain je ne sais quoi involved in knowing econ/business and also not saying "Oh, no, Americans won't buy treats boo hoo"

Too much poasting not enough radicalization of dropshippers.

Doctor Odyssey (I know, I don't want to hear it, let me have this) casting goes crazy. What do you mean you have 3 nepo babies (Paris Jackson, Charlotte Lawrence, Ava Phillippe), a TikToker (Noah Beck), and the best newgen scream queen (Kathryn Newton) are in the same episode.

Tariff stock-up time (emergency food supply, new electronics, new vehicles) was November. Do not panic buy. The administration serves capital. If you do not buy non-essentials and support local artisans/stores, it hurts megacapital and it will pressure the admin to reconsider.

Selena still has shooters; the state of Texas has given Yolanda a GIFT

Rained again for the first time in months; I don't have to be paranoid about red flag warnings/brush fires/every siren being a firetruck anymore. I'm free. 3 weeks ago there were 2 fires blazing next (<.5 miles) to me within 3 days. I was this close to having to evacuate. Never again.

If this was 4 years ago I would be happy, but in this case, I know his successor will be worse.

We were getting hit with Ari Aster’s “The Strange Thing About the Johnsons”, GOT, weird fanfic, and that Folgers commercial in a span of <5 years. It’s not normal/normalized, we’ve just been acclimated to gratuity in service of shock.

White Lotus S3E6/Ratliff bros storyline opinion will be split on the lines of exposure to/tolerance of twincest tropes. Millennials desensitized again by whatever was in the water in the 2000s.

Migrants found dead at Krome Detention Center in Miami, due to possible starvation and dehydration. The facility, which was a detention facility prior to it being converted for ICE use, has a max capacity of 500.

Someone needs to reboot Gawker and the Unemployment Diaries so the youth/non-participating members of the 2008-2013 hiring market don't crash out. Archives linked.

Lucy Dacus has officially confirmed her relationship with fellow Boygenius member Julien Baker.

I am casually wearing a large camo hoodie, oversized jeans, and a skullcap (please no questions) and I got "sirred". For all the hullabaloo about Texas, they can tell when I'm serving masc realness (I am but 5'1" on a good day). Pronouns updated to she/her/sir.

Watched Borderline (Eric Dane, Samara Weaving, Alba Baptista) and it was surprisingly solid. The last 3 minutes of the movie were the best I've seen recently. No dialogue at all, just magic. I googled the actor and it was Ray Nicholson. Yes, Jack Nicholson's son. He stole the show.

Knew about Spring Forward today. Was well-informed about Spring Forward. Still disoriented and delirious when my alarm went off this morning and was very confused that my cat was still sleeping next to me instead of scream yelling for a half-hour before.

Sad to see Max go out like this. In retrospect, combining Cartoon Network, TLC/Discovery (garbage), and HBO (prestige) inevitably only alienates the prestige audience. Worse when you realize they pulled shows to make space for it. The masses yearn for an HBO (and animation) only streaming platform.

Paradise, happily, is not a mystery box show. I am already watching 3 at the moment (From, Yellowjackets, Severance). Between The Wilderness, Lumon, and SpoOoOokY Night *********, my plate is full.

I bought my cat an orthopedic cat bed (he's OLD!) in August thinking he would use it in the winter because it's fluffy + warm, but he stopped using it when it got < 60 and has only now started using it again. It is his summer/fall + spring bed, but not winter, apparently.

Only spent money on two things this month aside from basic living expenses and they were both from Black-Owned businesses: CĂ©cred Trial kit (my normal shampoo ran out) and a BHM edition, satin-lined hoodie. It was a fun experiment that I will probably carry forward.

Logged into my SSA account for the first time since 2021. Yeah, everything still looks fine. No one has stolen my identity. Very funny that it projects that I'll be getting payments when I turn 65, but I digress.

“Harriet the Spy” star Michelle Trachtenberg has died, the New York Post reports. She was 39.

The new Red Bulls are fruity-florals. Not that I mind. I feel a little less RAD! drinking curuba elderflower and wild berry (which has an accent of verbena). Truly the connoisseur's energy beverage.

Temperature finally starts with a 5* again! Time to enjoy life and the outside world (write a paper).

I need to hurry up and finish Conclave before it becomes passé.

Mixed a crushed caffeine pill and collagen peptides into ultra-filtered, lactose-free chocolate milk for breakfast. 25g of protein (13 from the milk, the rest from the collagen). 100mg of caffeine. I have perfected lazy morning sustenance.

Took a week off from Red Bull/caffeine and it just took me 3 hours to drink a 12oz. Success! Weaning myself from expensive dependencies and habits, tbf, in anticipation of the troubles.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Let out a primal scream at 8AM when my bank was still holding a deposit/transfer that was accepted yesterday at around 2PM. It showed up in my account 13 minutes later. Do better, KeyBank.

Still so incredibly enamored with Curuba Elderflower becoming a permanent flavor that I failed to notice that Red Bull launched a Pink edition. It IS, however, just berry.

Halfway through watching Monster's Ball for the first time (Thanks, Tubi) and, uh, they were just letting everyone do anything in 2001. Nice to see Diddy in prison, tbf. Slightly get the appeal of Billy Bob Thornton.
