Had a very bizarre dream last night where I was watching a movie about a family's killer golden retriever. But it wasn't like Cujo where they were physically trapped or anything, the dog just kept brutally mauling people to death and the family did nothing about it.

Saw a kid with a homemade Hornet Silksong costume, that was pretty cool.

Wore a cute Kevin DuBrow-inspired outfit to the library, borrowed some books about game design, bought a little book about Akitas, had ramen for lunch

Today was a good day :)

The bus got stopped by a long ass freight train, and some guy a few seats behind me said "What the fuck?!" Yeah, me too buddy.

I do feel absolutely insane about how many eulogy posts for Björn Andrésen /exclusively/ use pictures of him as an underage boy, the very image that cast a shadow over the rest of his life.

Björn Andrésen was a 70 year old man, not an ethereal boy stuck in eternal youth. He was real.

When he says “hit it, Joe”, I don’t think first time viewers are going to be prepared for just how hard Joe hits it.

Learning about grammar on Wikipedia

Indefinite Article

An indefinite article is an article that marks an indefinite noun phrase. Indefinite articles are those such as English "a" or "an", which do not refer to a specific identifiable entity. Indefinites are commonly used to introduce a new discourse referent which can be referred back to in subsequent discussion:

1. A monster ate a cookie. His name is Cookie Monster.
Indefinites can also be used to generalize over entities who have some property in common.

1. A cookie is a wonderful thing to eat.

Indefinites can also be used to refer to specific entities whose precise identity is unknown or unimportant.

1. A monster must have broken into my house last night and eaten all my cookies.
2. A friend of mine told me that happens frequently to people who live on Sesame Street.

Indefinites also have predicative uses:

1. Leaving my door unlocked was a bad decision.

Indefinite noun phrases are widely studied within linguistics, in particular because of their ability to take exceptional scope.

KNOW YOUR DIGIMON LORE!

The group known as The Three Musketeers is made up of expert marksmen who all specialize in revolvers (and somehow not muskets)

But did you know? Each one is also based on a famous Wild West outlaw! Here's a handy guide to each Musketeer and their real world inspiration!

I found something astonishing on Google Maps the other day, but I can't tell anyone about it without doxxing myself, so I just have to sit here with the knowledge by myself.
