I’m so sorry but this is what i think of every time i see people with labubus and shit hanging from their bags

a samsung phone with tons of charms hanging from it. first tumblr caption says “how much damage does this do if i hit someone with it” second tumblr user added “they beat Jesus with that”

Gotta say, congratulations to the developers of Watch Duty, whose service has been rock solid despite twenty million Californians hitting “refresh” every thirty seconds

i cannot stress this enough. there was no leaning of the phone, this man was actively holding up! his phone! for FIVE HOURS! watching!! NOTHING!!!!

Elyse Cantor @elysedc.bsky.social · Dec 30

just flew home behind a man who listened to music while holding his phone up and staring at it the entire flight. no video, no animation - just static album art, brightness higher than god. for five fucking hours.

I'm still trying to understand how so many people could have such reckless, virulent hatred. How they could look at all the hate, all the crimes, all the promised hatred, and sit this out, or even vote for it. I just don't know.

But Sir Terry Pratchett knew things. And this seems right for today.

A picture of Sir Terry Pratchett, followed by a quote from his book "Guards! Guards!"

the quote text is:

“Down there - he said - are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any inequity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathsomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.”

on my way to Mexico City last year, every screen around us at the airport was looping ads that said “travel to New Mexico” and i said “New Mexico?? I’m trying to go to Old Mexico!” i thought it was hilarious and i still do. thanks

visiting family with basic cable, so clearly there is only one thing to watch (Friends reruns) and tonight, I saw it turn over from finale to restarting with the pilot, and it does kinda feel like finally seeing the dvd logo hit the corner
