If you think the 2026 New Year’s Eve glasses looked bad, just be grateful for the good run we had starting in 2000. It didn’t used to be like that. Back during the middle ages, peasants would run around with glasses saying 1347 or whatever, and that really looked stupid.
discoursedrome : etirabys : I’m confused by a difference I’m seeing between studies and what I see in real life. Trying to get some data of my own. Are you vegetarian, vegan, or a trying-somewhat-hard reducetarian? How helpful are fake meats like Beyond or Impossible to reducing animal consumption? If the answer is “not much” and it’s mostly because you’ve…
nightcore-nasheed : squareallworthy : nightcore-nasheed : squareallworthy : nightcore-nasheed : There’s this internet meme that men love banana bread. We don’t! Why should I take your word over an internet meme? It’s my lived experience…. And the memes? Do they not live as well? Memes are not alive Well anyway I don’t believe you. About the first thing I mean. I think you’re just…

regina-bithyniae : arinrowan : copperbadge : 1980re1 : copperbadge : leolaroot : anti party technology Fucking good . I lived next to an Airbnb “party house” for months and the constant noise was a blight on the neighborhood. Nobody asked the block if we were cool with 24/7 unf unf unf. Nobody said “hey is it cool if we open an unlicensed nightclub next door.” You want to…
nightcore-nasheed : squareallworthy : nightcore-nasheed : saying “y'all” is cringe UNLESS you are black or a white southerner Nah. If you hear a word that’s useful you should be like “sure I’ll incorporate that into my idolect.” But it’s cringe Gatekeeping is cringe.
skluug : skluug : I have developed a personal philosophy which when deployed in my psychological complex approximates the disposition of a normal guy Interesting theory. I’m not sure I buy it. Some of my friends seem naturally quite normal. How could we test this? ask ‘em
oscillatingheatpipe : Making this comment on Twitter seems fraught so I’ll do it here: Man wouldn’t it be cool if the dynamic new blood taking over the right weren’t so fucking stupid? If they had even a hint of intellectualism? If they read history books or whatever? I mean, not a huge fan of the fact that one of the two parties in the US is being swallowed up by a wave of Open,…
argumate : Mamdani will be NYC’s next mayor, CNN projects, as Democrats also win New Jersey and Virginia governors’ races laying the groundwork for a Democratic revival? I assume the remainder of the Trump term will only grow ever more frenzied in response, good luck America! If the Dems take the House in the midterms next year, he’s going to become so unhinged. I mean he’s already…

Don’t touch anything, back out of the room, call the cops. If I was a guest, call hotel chain corporate and demand they give me a zillion room points. If I was working as hotel security, call my manager in the security company because this is a pretty big deal. What if you can't tell just by looking whether it's a dead body or a live person in need of medical assistance?
This is what the Seattle metro system could look like if our politicians weren't cowards eightyonekilograms : squareallworthy : eightyonekilograms : I have to grudgingly admit that one nice thing about the Bay Area is the suspension bridges. There should be a suspension bridge across Puget Sound from Pier 55 to Bainbridge Island. This would cost billions and be of no use whatsoever. Okay, but…
