Most people speak using things like their head and walk using things like their feet. Here at Floating in lotus position we are trying things a little different

I mean, I get it. Once you've taken paradise permanently off the table by committing the moral sin of divorce, why not follow the fatalistic, libertine political path of, say, Aleister Crowley? To quote Sam Kinison, "If you're going to miss heaven, why miss it by two inches? Miss it!"

In my early 20s I went barefoot for an entire summer. It was a blast, and also, in retrospect, one of the most unhinged things I ever did

Went to a 00s Indie Pop dance show with lots of "Youngsters," which made me start doing math in my head. "So this would be like, if I was in college, and there was an early 90s grunge show. That would be dope! But now the Indie Pop DJ is playing Nirvana, which would be the equivalent of Zeppelin..."

Noodling on the role of pulp adventure stories and the colonial mind, probably a smarter person has already laid all this out better in a “real book”

JERRY: She's a ten! But the mole… ELAINE: That's it? A mole?? JERRY: A ten can't have a mole! GEORGE: A nine…? A nine could have a mole… [Maya Angelou enters, applause] MAYA ANGELOU: See to the slickness of your floor, Jerome. Easily I could slip coming through the door as swiftly as I've just done.

Popcorn is the only movie snack where they've really got you by the balls. Yeah let me just discreetly sneak in some hot buttery fluffy popcorn. Get real. You just gotta pay them for it

Vital investigation by the Post on this. Getting @wedgelive.bsky.social to admit “It’s not really about the cats” ON RECORD is a real masks-off moment
About a dozen people showed up for the impromptu cat tour, led by John Edwards, who organizes the yearly event, seven years ago. Over a two-mile walk, the group stopped to see some 20 cats peeking through their windows. Now, hundreds of people attend.
Minneapolis cat tour started as joke, now draws hundreds of admirerswapo.st “I love to do weird, goofy stuff like this,” said John Edwards, who organizes the yearly event.

RIP Robert Towne, this is still one of the most chilling summaries of the nature of greed I’ve ever encountered in fiction

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

Can you imagine having social media on the one week when Mussolini was captured (Wednesday), executed (Friday), and Hitler killed himself (Sunday). Glorious
i can offer no guidance for what we have to do to fix all of this, but i do enjoy reading the wikipedia article about how mussolini got strung up like a hog en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_o...

RIP to the dude from Crazytown, thank you for dropping “Butterfly” within probably one week of when I first heard of female orgasms. Sealed in harmony forever

Today in there’s nothing new under the sun: In 1903 a white hotel worker became a right wing celebrity for being fired after refusing to make booker t washington’s bed because he was black and a bunch of people around the country raised thousands of dollars on her behalf

The central joke in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a race of dipshits building a planet-sized computer to answer the question of "life, the universe, and everything" and then a million years later it says the answer is 42, and somehow that has taken on a William Gibson level of prescience

Traffic camera discourse rules, the counter argument is entirely “people should be allowed to break laws if they are driving.”
Happens over and over again. Everything we’re told won’t work or is unfair to drivers works and is totally fair to drivers.
