This is one of those days I hate being that friend that “knows things” because I’ve been asked about interventions in the Americas all morning and it’s just so damn depressing to recount it all. But, it is good to inform others, as well.

History is cool because you’re reading about a war between Paraguay and Bolivia, and all there are German field marshals and White Russians in the conflict, and when you think it can’t get any wilder- Huey P. Long just appears?

Missed opportunity to not name one of these companies “AM by Ellison”
or “We Have AI and We Must Scream”. They obviously don’t care about being on the nose so might as well commit, right?

It’s not just “we decided to name our company after the personification of evil.” It’s also “we decided to name our home security company after the personification of evil who was so vainly proud of his vigilance that he let his home get invaded in the most catastrophic way possible.”
Sauron is appearing on the scene as concerns rise about crime among the most wealthy.

I really did think that the “high school history teacher working in the athletic department” stereotype was just one I happened to live.
But no, apparently that’s extremely common and not just a sitcom beat.

For the second time this year, a random person I have never seen nor met before commented that my body proportions “look like an orangutan” and kept moving. What even.

People doing mirror selfie trends make me a little sad because I can’t take them well, if at all, due to the glare on my glasses.
They make me look like a creature with voids for eyes, and it’s not a good look. I’m already making you look at me, I shouldn’t make it worse…
(Self-depreciation, 😂)
