All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

Democrats should all start making the jerk off motion when asked about anything Trump-related, just to see how it gets described. “Controversial gesture that suggests self-pleasuring”

I figured out how I'm going to get rich: Male Polish. It's just regular nail polish, but for men. The colors will have names like charred denim, lumber stank, and sea-dude. The applicator will look like a brush for bbq marinade

i know we all need to just internalise this and move on but i really can't get past the fact that all high-level geopolitics is now "thinking up ways to trick the world's most infantile man into believing that your agenda will make him look like the birthday boy"

Idly wondering in a sort of Freakonomics way if the decline in active and passing smoking has led to the gerontocracy we see in many places, particularly the US. There was a time when many of these political leaders would have fallen out of circulation in their 60s but now they live forever
