Broken clocks and all that.

Just want to propagate DJ Peach Cobbler’s PSA: spend less energy being outraged by the stuff designed to outrage you; embrace your inner troll and seek some amount of calm to overcome those who seek to profit from our desire to engage with the ridiculous and outrageous. youtu.be/rnFQd-8ULgM?...

Really need to work on overcoming my crippling perfectionism. It is paralysing. I feel like maybe I just need to try and connect my feelings of self esteem and validation with stuff that isn’t my productive and creative output.

The danger of bingeing Game Changer and Make Some Noise is that I now have the desire to get crazy good at improv to have the slimmest chance to one day work at dropout or become friends with any of the cast 🤣🤣😅😆

I feel seen

Good morning bluesky! Try not to mind my hair, it’s been so unmanageable lately 😭

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the greatest movie trilogy ever made and is likely to retain that title for… well forever. The current and future states of capitalism will never allow for the circumstances that made the creation of this trilogy even possible in the first place.

1/2 An issue with trying to manage a modern government is that there are two main camps. The non-reactionary types (the left) approach leadership as a co-operative endeavour. While the reactionaries treat every part of life like a winner takes all zero sum game.

Apex Legends hands down has the most satisfying gameplay out of any Battle Royale. It has awesome lore, cool characters, great art style, music and atmosphere. And yet it has a seriously dwindling player base because EA and Respawn have been comically bad at managing the game. It’s fucking tragic

Duskmourne felt way easier to draft a good deck in. With foundations I feel like I find my lane, and then the cards and colors I want are still evaporating. Maybe it’s just because everyone else is still unsure about what to take, but damn it’s been rough.

Went to the dentist for the first time in years (because hadn’t found a covid safe dentist). Turns out I’ve been overbrushing because I’ve been afraid if needing to go to the dentist and it’s caused some gum recession on a couple of teeth 🙃 would have just preferred to get cavities tbh. 😢

Difference between this post on threads and here is wild. Threads seems to have a much bigger algorithmic focus on rage/antagonistic engagement because it wasn’t long before the right wing dickheads were all over this one.

Imagine being a billionaire and having all the money and time in the world, able to afford michelin star in home chefs and doctors and nutritionists and personal trainers. And with all that, still looking like Elon Musk. Would never be me 🤣🤣🤣

Big sky booms. Much loud. Very scare.

please give pedro pascal a swashbuckler movie my man was grown in a lab specifically to wear a hat with a feather on it and go "a-HA" and it is a shame on the world that we deny him that

This letterboxd review was one of the first things to make me properly laugh since the election. Because, is it even wrong? 🤣😂🤣

Should I make a short form series on my thoughts around how the right is way better positioned to win the modern information war as a function of the interplay between our hidden value functions and the underlying incentives of capitalism? Would need scripting first though, or it’d be incoherent 🙃

So angry for my trans friends, my journalist and scientist friends, my immigrant friends, my Black and Hispanic friends… But this afternoon I’m mostly angry for my disabled cousin, who is so upset that America voted for someone who wants people like her to just die

I keep thinking of Childish Gambino's song "This is America"

At least there’ll be never ending content for r/LeopardsAteMyFace I guess.
