Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

Took a friend to a B&N to grab a book they needed. It’s the first time I’ve been in one that didn’t have a single copy of any of my books in stock, adult or middle grade.

Felt shitty, but also kind of sobering? Like, I realized I still care and want to be in the mix? I dunno. We’ll see, I guess.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

One of my current favorite forms of media are interviews that take dumb TikTokkers way too seriously. Some Ira Glass wannabe asking FuckBoi987 “so how DID you conjure the notion to put every menu item at Wendy’s in a blender and snort the mixture up your butt?” Like the kid is JD Salinger. Love it.

The Alaskan tourism board should do everything in their power to make this horrible line of dialogue a viral meme. I would 100% buy an official “This is ALASKA. There is no perimeter!” t-shirt issued by them.

Matt Wallace @mattfnwallace.bsky.social · 1d

Heard an ad for a streaming series about a prison break in Alaska and one cop says to another “we need to establish a perimeter” and the dude goes “this is ALASKA. There is no perimeter” and I’d give ANYTHING for her to reply, “yeah that’s why we need to ESTABLISH one you overly histrionic bro bag.”
