root vegetables are eastern orthodox. I think birds and cedar trees follow shinto. flax, some mushrooms, and caterpillars are quaker. dolphins have some sort of death cult humans don't know about. legumes are sikh. dry grasses with long stems are hindu.

There was something inspirational growing up in this era, so much hope through science and cooperation

Which is why is feels so awful becoming an adult when anti-intellectualism and pride in lacking empathy have taken root

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Day 47 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

A meme depicting Stan and Steve from American Dad but it misinterprets the characters as Hank and Bobby Hill from King of the Hill so they have a discussion in those characters voices where Steve/Bobby initially wants to vote for Zohran Mamdani but realizes the error of his ways when corrected by Stan/Hank

Journalism in general is a dead art form, not because people don't want it, but because the bar is so low as to render most of it totally worthless.
