marvel’s new big villain is kerning

gerrymandering a cookie to get the most chocolate chips

having the time of my life at a birthday party in a restaurant where the music is playing from a spotify jam (alt, indie, disco, etc.) and the TV is showing norteño/corrido videos on mute, and we’re cheering every time the vibe or beat of the song matches with the aesthetic or cuts of the videos

‘severance’ teaching me new words like ‘a series of unfortunate events’ did when i was a kid

believe the hype re: ‘adolescence’ on netflix. 10/10 miniseries. fits into the ‘black mirror’ box as a cautionary tale about the influence of the internet on kids’ minds. astounding acting. and all four episodes being shot with ZERO cuts (not even hidden) isn’t just a gimmick — it MAKES the show.

hey siri play ‘dental care’ by owl city

if you saw me planning a heist to steal the pigeon costume from the production warehouse for ‘mickey 17’, no you didn’t

imposter syndrome but instead of feeling like you don’t know enough about the industry you’re trying to get into, you feel like you know too much about the industry you’re in but never really aspired to be a part of

don’t let me join your spotify jam if you don’t want me to queue the music from fireworks factory off the ost for spyro the dragon 3 year of the dragon

oh hell yeah, basically anything with animals, books, or artefacts

omg link please

love that there’s now a slew of movies and shows coming out set in the late 2000s and early 2010s so i can regale everyone around me about the minutiae of early smartphone user interface design

the secret to happiness is unfollowing everyone on social media EXCEPT museums and zoos

at a quinceañera right now with a little bowl of nuts to snack on, so every time the tíos flip open their wallet-style phone cases to snap pics of the night’s proceedings, i appear in the background popping a cashew

omg you’re here?? bluesky just peaked

Crocs styled to look like the yellow submarine from the Beatles-led movie of the same name, complete with porthole stickers and a periscope.

before you judge me, try walking a mile in my yellow submarine crocs

just mistyped ‘acquainted’ as ‘aquatained’ and it got me thinking: ‘aqua-tainer’ would be a sick name for a water bottle

searched it and, alas, there’s already a camping brand with such a product

which begs the question: did the product come first, or were they inspired after making the same typo

my ghost will appreciate the errors — traces of humanity, marks of focus snatched by grief

this thought alone has made me stubborn enough to live forever; i can simply never die if the concept of someone generating an AI obituary about me is a possibility

new greatest fear is dying and having someone write an obituary for me using chatgpt

we talk about the algorithm like it’s so clever but really it’s just “i see you liked a photo of some pizza, i will now show you ads for pizza” like lmao congrats little algo do you want a medal

as the apocalypse struck at midnight on new year’s eve 2024, the four horsemen came riding out of the smoke, and as the dust settled, the steeds upon which they galloped became clear: a capybara, a baby hippo, a hyrax, and a fluffy penguin
