So Chris, what brings you to Bluesky?
The good news is no matter what deranged opinion you're hoping to find, the Internet can certainly provide it.

I have quit a fair few jobs in my life. Every time I change jobs people ask something like "Are you excited for your new job?"

No, man. I quit because I was just flat miserable. I am tired and flummoxed and sad.

I guess I would admit to being hopeful, but excited? No.

Though it is pretty funny to imagine a bunch of Japanese businessmen in their underground supervillain lair being like “in the late 2010s/early 2020s, our analysts predict that an apocalypse uniquely suited to making people want to play Animal Crossing in bed will occur. We need to be ready.”

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

Maybe the Republicans will release some anti-Dem Epstein emails in revenge, and then the Dems will respond with more and the escalation will continue and go back and forth until the aristocracy's pedophilia is all out in the open.

Just thinking about the time a coworker left suddenly and I needed some files from his laptop so I asked IT and they said no.

So I said just give me an account on it and I'll do it and they said no.

And I got really mad at them but then the COO came to my desk and said "Let's take a walk."

A friend asked me yesterday if Malort was like drinking Angostura bitters straight.

I said it's not totally dissimilar to that, but imagine that you packed a tea infuser with charred broccoli and let it steep in the bitters for a while.

It's not even the first time he's been killed. Die Another Day and You Only Live Twice.

C'mon, you're going to complain about writing a script for a major motion picture and you didn't even take the time to ask a nerd about the canon?
as we all know james bond is based in realism. Anyways here's the next bond girl, Coochie dickslurper
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Well if we're sharing embarrassing history blunders I'll admit it.

Sometimes I confuse Owsley Stanley and Oswald Mosley.

Maybe daylight savings should go the opposite way actually. I could really use an extra hour of daylight after I get home to get a few things done in the garage or the yard.

We have a big bowl at work where all my coworkers deposited their leftover Halloween candy. It's down to the last dozen or so pieces now.

So what I'm saying is I guess it's time to remind myself why I hate Milky Way.

I'm not sure what kinda noise I made when I read this but two different coworkers looked over the cubicle walls and asked if I was okay.

up until now my leading theory was that for unknown reasons costco habitually attracts shoppers who have never been to a store with shopping carts before and are profoundly bewildered by the concept

I just wrote a test case for an online store that lets you pay with a "shop card" but I typoed it as "shoop."

Paying with a shoop card.
