A few years ago, my dad told me that when he was a little kid, my grandma told him “if you get scared while watching a movie or tv, laugh. You’ll feel better.”

Me watching news in 2024:

a cartoon character is standing on top of a pile of rocks with the words " maniacal laughter " written below him

A green guy (maga hat) and a blue guy (dem hat) stand before a button. The green guy says "pushing this button will begin the investigation into Epstein and trump" and then gets all sanctimonious and continues "but! Bill Clinton must also be investigated--" and then two panels of the democrat slamming the button again and again to the point where maga dude is begging him to stop

Bluesky still never beating the allegations.

Someone quote tweeting my calming post about enjoying rain on my roof by assuming they know my life and that I've never experienced a roof leak.

centrist: Where do we go from here? We have to find common ground. We can't just call the other group "Nazis." At the end of the day, we're all just rich white men with podcasts.

Republican lawmaker: Welcome to Hitler Chat. I'm Hitler

Republican lawmaker 2: Hello. I am Hitler as well.

Everyone in their 20s needs to know about this. As long as you can learn new shit WHILE you're floundering (and it can be pretty random shit, honestly) you have a shot at a much better life than you would ever imagine.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Shitty meme I just threw together

Stick figure guy says “I’m the White House Bluesky account” and a group of stick figures are huddled, ignoring the lone stick figure.

Stick figure says “ahem, I’m—“

One stick dude in the huddle does a big thumbs up with a face like 😐

The lone stick figure is like 🥺

A stick dude in the group huddle says “can the Mariners pull this off?”

One of the things I’ve heard about why a Minnesota accent (and surrounding areas) sounds the way it does is bc of Scandinavian settlers and now that I think of it, that makes sense bc I’ve heard Robin from Twitter lol.

I absolutely love hearing accents from other parts of the US. I don’t dare try to emulate them bc I’m bad at it and it just sounds insulting and mean. But I love love LOVE hearing different accents. We all sound hella boring here lol.

Speaker Johnson defends Trump's AI video of him dumping feces on protesting Americans: “The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point.”

The irony is I grew up to absolutely fucking hate driving, and I actually quit a few years ago. And now my parents nag me like “ehhh, maybe you should get a car again” lol.
