What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

as much as I love them one thing I always disliked about the Redwall books was the designation of certain species as constitutionally evil. I think rats and weasels should be friends with mice and shrews

As someone else asked, if the app can't load and unload the dishes for me then WHAT POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT COULD IT BRING TO THE PROCESS???

"I DO NOT WANT A DISHWASHER WITH AN APP" and other very normal sentences to say on a Sunday afternoon during this specific, very stupid moment in late-stage capitalism. 😂

Kani Bucho, an office boss with an entire crab for a head, is the mascot for Yokobiki, a company that makes metal roller shutters for store windows.

LA: we will fight you.

HUGE milestone in the healing journey today: I have Put The Couch Back Like It Normally Is. The cats are IMMENSELY suspicious.

I’M PROUD OF U!!!!!

Honestly so valid, and you’ve got X-2 in the wings if you need it!

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

just another one of those memories that haunts me daily

Juno is a clam dunk champion 🏀

Tama Kyoryu (dinosaur) is a mascot for the parks of Tama Hills, Tokyo. It has acorns for eyes, grass on its belly, and flowers and trees growing out of it.

#medical It has been eight (8) days since my top surgery and I’m VERY BORED of this stage of healing but I DID just beat* Silksong so!!!!!!!

*(I beat the final boss. In the same way that the Hollow Knight was the final boss of the first game. WHATEVER IT COUNTS.)

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

There is, in Portland, a street called "Couch". Gets 'em every time.

Po, an apple tree fairy with an apple balanced on his head, is the mascot for the annual Iida Puppet Festival in Nagano.

Listen, we're tired of comparing everything to Hitler too. Unfortunately people today have a Perry the Platypus understanding of history. When they see shit happening they think "Ah a normal government policy" until you put a little mustache and swastika on it and they go "A Nazi government policy!"

This is INCREDIBLY important and useful information for me as a person currently healing from top surgery, thank you 🙏
