Awesome movie concept: The Piscopope! Through a series of crazy mix-ups, Joe Piscopo becomes the Pope
But here's the real zinger: it's not a comedy!

I assure you, Japanese car manufacturer, there is not a single living human in North America anywhere near as light as my full water bottle so can you please stop bing-bonging at me while it rests on the passenger seat.

We need to re-normalize "every" and "day" as two separate words unless they're being thrust together adjectivally. Give them some space, people.

Whatever happened to "politically correct?" Has it been replaced entirely by "woke?" Will we see another term taken from one community and transformed into a mostly useless rhetorical bludgeon?

I thought I would give Linux a try again after a number of years and while I admit there is definitely more lipstick on this pig, it's still unpleasant. Unless you're someone who enjoys cascades of failure. #linux

Thought of the day: if it wasn't for the need to rhyme, ABBA's dancing queen probably wouldn't have felt the beat of a tambourine.

Dear Quaker Oats, I am having a hard time finding a way to forgive you for making me do math with fractions - using text too small for me to see - this early in the morning. And all for just some porridge.

I want to know who Meta designs their products for, just to make sure I never meet them. I doubt we can agree on anything regarding what is an enjoyable user experience.

I've only just discovered that Beck is singing Spanish, "soy el perdedor" in the chorus of Loser. All these years I thought he was saying "soiled from head to toe."
I like my version better.

One exciting new trend that I have been seeing on Instagram is companies that don't exist "sadly" or "with heavy hearts" closing their doors and selling off their "remaining inventory." Wait! Before you go, let me give you my money! #instagram #scams

When I was young I would hear legends of parents who find their child smoking and as a punishment force them to smoke the whole pack. 1/2

I don't know if I should mock or admire this headline from the CBC.
"Pamela Anderson planned to make pickles at home in B.C. Then, she was offered the role of a lifetime"
Bonus points to Pamela for this quote in the article: "I come from a long line of pickles."

I thought I would give Pixelfed a try since I can only enjoy using Instagram for a few seconds before it annoys me. I bailed before I finished the signup process. I honestly believe that signing up should not feel like punishment. #Instagram #Pixelfed

The fact that there are only two comments but by default shows just one of them and makes you work to see the other is an example of the many small ways Meta puts effort into putting me off Meta products. #Instagram #Meta #balls

When I woke up today I heard what sounded to me like a sleepy bald eagle in the green belt behind our home. We've been seeing one relatively frequently lately. Maybe it likes to roost there.

This morning while stopped at a red light I saw a guy on a bike cross the intersection while holding his phone in front of his face. It was obviously stupid but it got me wondering how or if the laws apply to cyclists. #cycling #phones #distracted #darwin

In a fascinating inversion of the classic boob-related wardrobe malfunction (see: Janet Jackson*) here is a wardrobe-related boob malfunction.
