Mid year resolutions:
- Do the couch to 5k
- Start working out again
- Learn how to play the keyboard

I’ve picked up and dropped too many hobbies. I need to stick with something longer than a month.

Yeah, there’s probably something you could do with 250m to benefit literally anyone else, but shiny dance room is also nice.

Imagine being a builder who gets to smash apart the White House. That’s one hell of a story to tell the grandkids.

This sounds agreeable until it’s applied to someone you don’t like.

Yes, even them.

No one is entirely responsible for their actions. Everything has a cause and effect.

Punishments for wrong doers should be focussed on making sure they don’t do it again, rather than simply hurting them.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

They have the chance of doing CJ The X’s idea of removing the opening.

This almost definitely won’t happe, but it would be cool.

Just watched the most frustrating video essay of my life, and am weirdly happy about it.

Even if it was negative, it’s been a while since a YouTube video got such a strong reaction out of me.

I wish I had the vocabulary to articulate what makes The Simpsons’ art style distinctive from other adult comedies, because I can’t point out anything THAT unique, but I just look at it and go “that’s The Simpsons.”

Kangaroo Monkey @kangaroomonkey.bsky.social · 16d

Actually, a lot of cartoons that go on for a while change styles and get more detailed backgrounds, and often lose some charm in the process, but I never get that from The Simpsons, and I really love the style and colour pallet.

He’s a billionaire, why would he care about the little guy? Sheltered rich brat.

1. I swear I’ve heard exactly this before.

2. Maybe it’s because you talk the least about her, like by default you’ve criticised her the least? It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of people don’t like Lisa though, and just want to see her get criticised.

Randomly decided to finally learn how English tax bands work, and I think I’m making about 2.5k more a year than I thought. Which is cool :)

I think the colours of Wicked are fine, but Part 2’s would probably be better received if Part 1’s was more vibrant.

That way it would look more like an intentional decision rather than modern movies hating colour.
