It's wild to remember when that was ubiquitous. Perhaps we'll someday be free of *gestures at everything* as well.

The wind cries XOJane.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

Media is awesome because it can show an organization trying to get rid a guy who is underwater with state Democrats by 50 points, undermines any Democratic policy, and is just completely off-putting to anyone who has to spend five minutes around him; and they phrase it as “seeding discord”

WEDNESDAY. The day you flumpty-foo! And you think boopty- bop and zippity-zoom but the truth
is, razza frazza wuzza wooza. What I'm trying to say is, maybe your brain isn't working either, but
that's OK, because you're great. PS you need a firmware upgrade
in the form of "coffee."

Yeah but they’re rarely so explicit as to just be talking in recordings about how they should be able to do brother/sister incest

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Wrestling with a Coolscan V that got seemingly damaged in shipping and unsure what to do about it with the seller. Don’t want to return it because I’ve been able to at least partially repair it but I think I’m gonna have to head to Facebook groups which wasn’t built into the price
