[shouting at my dog like Mark Metcalf] Are you listening to me? What do you want to do with your life? [my dog, doing a Dee Snider growl] I wanna WALK

“Grazie, signore.”

I think that I shall never gleam a poem as lovely as a meme.

Yeah, we super don't. "Presumption of innocence" is a legal standard for criminal courts and doesn't eveb mean a person is innocent, it just means the law is constrained from punishing even the guilty without proof. I'm not the law and my opinion is not a punishment

My new most-despised YouTube comment genre is "this scene was unrehearsed / ad-libbed."

It’s pretty clear to me that carrying around and constantly using a pocket-sized network-connected supercomputer is not good for me. But I don’t want to talk about it with anyone I know because they’ll make me do something about it

A tourist driving in Vermont stops at a fork in the road. A sign pointing left says "White River Junction: 78 miles." Another sign points right, "White River Junction: 70 miles." The tourist asks a nearby farmer, "does it matter which road I take?" The farmer says "Not to me it doesn't."

Or just learn from the true masters of the genre, Kerala

I assume the typical Twitter apologist sees this disparity as proof that more civilized platforms are mere echo-chambers, and Twitter is the sole bastion of free speech (abuse)

There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.

The Library Board where I live (Kalispell) is a useful illustration of the principle that your vote has downstream effects. We don't vote for library trustees, but we vote for the County Commissioners who appoint them. If we want things to get better, we have to vote for better commissioners.

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

i just don't like things being private when they should be municipal! i'm sorry! i want the employees to be in a union and i want robust protections against discrimination in a purpose-built space i partially own via taxation! i want it to be venture capital proof!

I never get tired of fireflies.

I have the opportunity to see Jaws on July 4 on actual Cape Cod

Why didn’t you all tell me the Star Wars hotel video everyone was talking about was Jenny Nicholson, I’d have watched it a month ago if I knew that

couch to 40k challenge . i am getting up to admire my warhammers

All I am seeing this morning is “oh boy that was awful” and not a single mention of any specific thing either guy actually said or did

Two things can be true, we are on a precipice as a nation where we shouldn’t be and you shouldn’t use the app for people with severe anxiety to follow the debate

The ISP I worked for in 2001 had a style guide declaring “internet” is a proper noun that is capitalized, and “email” has a hyphen after the “e.” I rejected those rules then and still reject them today

I’ve seen things you never imagined possible (a mobile ad for Star Trek: Fleet Command that depicts actual gameplay)

I think my debate plan would be to make Trump so mad he dies

Still mad about Forrest Gump, a movie the whole world assured me I would like. But I have to give credit to my wife, not someone I considered a Back to the Future fan, pointing out that the entire movie is basically the Marvin Berry scene without the time travel element

The way prominent historical events are dropped in to Forrest Gump, just a bunch of stuff that happened, makes it the We Didn’t Start The Fire of cinematic period pieces

The very best combination of Simpsons reference and person making the reference

It's not a goddamn documentary, you're not filming as much footage you can and then picking and choosing what to keep, it's a terrible strain on the animator's wrists
