Spilled half a glass of water on my waffle. Soggy dinner waffles is definitely the mood today.

Why I Don't Vote (OK, I Do Vote, but I Would Like to Discourage You, NY Times Reader, For Doing So For Some Reason) Via @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

Just heard a podcast ad for the period underwear, Knix. To this company: Hearing your name on a podcast, it's hard to tell Knix from Nix, and the last thing I was to associate with my period is lice. Perhaps consider rebranding.

If more autistic individuals fall outside gender norms than allistic individuals, and if one of the diagnostic criteria for being diagnosed autistic is a preference for logic and directness, does that mean gender norms are neither clear-cut nor logical?

No, seriously, how many TV episodes are there where the cast swing around obviously empty coffee cups? If Tumbler were still the big wig in town, that'd be my current feed.

Was there really a time when working 9-5 in an office was the standard, or is that just a song? I have been working for almost 25 years and have never had a full-time job with so few working hours.

Netflix suggests I watch (in order): (1) The Queen's Gambit, (2) Making a Murderer, (3) Octonauts.

Pet peeve: when characters in shows carry coffee cups that are obviously empty.

How did I miss that Crayola retired the dandelion crayon, and why am I so upset about this?!

TFW your child "discovers" your favorite dissonant chord. Sing out, Louise!

To the woman who shouted "Where's your parents?" at my preteen walking one block down the street with her friends to buy donuts, YOU are the person she should be worried about.

Watched 20 minutes of Poor Things. Is no one else upset by Emma Stone's portrayal of a disabled woman? Is that not what we're watching: an able-bodied woman pretending to be an infantilized woman with a disability?

Up side to #shrinkflation: the calorie count on the snack bag of chips is closer to what I'm eating.

Was Paul Reubens's last role being mistaken for Alan Cumming in Quiz Lady? #tragicomedy
