Someone the other day tried to tell me that 2018 was 8 years ago hahahahhaha. What a dumbass!
How did I end up in the timeline where Greenland might get statehood before Washington, D.C.?
If the Smithsonian ever builds an Enshittification Museum, Gmail and Facebook will be the flagship exhibits.
A deep sky image of a very long, red, mostly transparent cloudy structure expanding up and down the frame. It very loosely has the shape of the state of California.
I also got the California Nebula last night.
It’s been on my wish list for months but it’s hiding behind trees from my balcony vantage point and finally just became visible.
What in the fresh hell is this? Since when did Best Buy start allowing third parties to sell on their website? Of course my package is delayed: it was sold to me on BestBuy.com by some back-alley drop-shipping hell hole in New Jersey.

An image of the sun with a lot of sunspots visible south of the solar equator
The same image but upscaled and sharpened
Sun came out for a bit from behind of the clouds. The first image is right out of the Seestar S30, just cropped. The second is upscaled and sharpened a bit.
“Woman Hospitalized After Being Hit by a DRIVER”

Pork porterhouse?! Sounds amazing.
Labcorp just sent me a bill for $3.68 and the part of me that incessantly desires to engage in social experiments wants to see how far it goes if I don't pay it.
One thing I really regret is not getting some cool souvenirs from all those amazing shops we toured. Next time I am bringing an empty duffel and doing things proper.
Objectively one of the top 10 cameras ever made.
This Liquid Glass UI treatment for a text field is absolutely criminal. Steve Jobs really screwed us all by dying.
Radical jihadist communism actually began in Iowa City. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...
Wow, people lost their jobs for saying less than that about Charlie Kirk.
I wish! Unfortunately they still haven’t refunded my canceled business class upgrade, so I’m in a bit of a back & forth with their claims department 🤬
My Iceland Air customer service rep's name is Cher, and it's taking every fiber in my being to resist asking her if she believes in life after love.

I was under the impression that Trump incited an insurrection by spending months lying to his followers that the election was stolen and then asking them to show up at the Capitol on January 6th. But now I'm learning that I only thought that bc of an edit in a 2024 BBC documentary. Oops!
Facing west, facing south—8:11 a.m.
This is the first in a future megathread of photos of the morning sky as seen from my balcony.
Autumn in DC >>>>>>
Why didn't you send this to me before my visit? Might've saved me from the fender-bender I was in 😂
Cannes u say hi to him for me
At this point, Jobs must be perpetually rolling over on a spit roast in his grave. #Apple
Supposedly it’s been “illegal” here in DC for a few years, but I still see landscapers using them. I wanna conjure my inner Karen but I don’t know who to call!
The unrivaled panic that sets in when you’re already reading a book and this notification drops.
