Caught myself feeling increasingly doomed and overwhelmed and realized that my music quit playing awhile ago and I’ve just been sitting here with headphones in being oppressed by the ringing in my ears.

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

Arrakis, a desert, planet, can you believe it? Some people call it Dune, I call it Arrakis. The SPICE must flow, and quite frankly, it will be flowing much faster than under the failed DUKE LETO. Maybe he was a nice guy, maybe not,I think he was jealous of me! We're looking into that very strongly.

That time some rando turned me into a meme coin
"I think someone made one of my tweets into a meme coin." She said, "I'm not sure I know what those words mean." I replied, "I'm not sure I do either."

House Speaker Mike Johnson calls Portland's naked bike riders 'most threatening thing' he's seen yet
The U.S. House Speaker's comment appeared to be a quip, but he said it while dismissing claims that federal officers are using excessive force.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

I started playing "Tales from the Shire", a game where you play a hobbit who's just moved to Bywater. The big drama is whether or not Bywater qualifies as a village. The primary game mechanics are decorating your hobbit hole, growing your garden, and cooking meals for your friends. It's so great.
