Bluesky helped me discard traditional news media, but I spend all that saved time reverse-engineering headlines from jokes.

Is a sweater with a hood a "hoodie"?
Is a puffy jacket with a hood a "hoodie"?
Or is only a sweatshirt type thing with a hood called a "hoodie"?

Is there a consensus on this question or is raising this likely to cause mayhem?

Forgot to update. Finished these in August. I must say your book was the hardest to read and understand, and I mean that in a good way. Liked all of them, which seldom happens.

A photo of four graphic novels arranged on a patterned tablecloth. The top left book is “Swallow Me Whole” by Nate Powell, featuring an illustrated figure hovering above autumn foliage and swarms of insects. The top right is “Factory Summers” by Guy Delisle, showing a stylized factory scene in shades of grey. The bottom left is “Glenn Ganges in: The River at Night” by Kevin Huizenga, with an illustration of a man lying awake under bold red text. The bottom right book is “Woman World” by Aminder Dhaliwal, displaying cartoon-style pink characters on a blue background. (alt txt generated by Perplexity.ai)

It’s only a “lava” lamp if it comes from the depths of an active volcano, otherwise it’s just glowing postmodern, ironic adornment.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became grown, I put away childish things. Then when I became a bit more grown, I rebought those same childish things from a vintage reseller and kinda don’t know how to feel about it

I used to think that of all the wrestlers turned actors, Dave Bautista was easily the best, but in the last few years, John Cena has closed the gap.

Love your lines. The dead rat is my favorite. I just realized I have several photos of dead rats. Sans insects, but.

Found the drawings I made during my psychosis last year. Let’s just say… Picasso would’ve been confused, concerned, and maybe a little lost. Chaotic lines, questionable anatomy, and enough symbolism to fuel three therapy sessions. #schizophrenia

A black-and-white sketch in an open spiral-bound notebook depicts a gargoyle-like creature perched on a pedestal. The creature has horns, large bat-like wings, clawed hands gripping a cracked sphere, and a muscular body with a somber expression.

A black-and-white ink drawing in a spiral-bound sketchbook depicts a rat, lying dead or dying, on its side with multiple small insects crawling around and over it.

[Sorry, Baby is funny in that confrontational way where your body moves to laugh, but you feel a little guilty for letting it out. That’s life, though. Mining misfortune for a punchline is its own survival skill.]

Another top-five pick. Perfect directorial debut, an amazing balancing act. #filmsky

We’ve reached a point in history similar to that moment in the movie Clue—long after they screamed their heads off each time a new dead body was found—when the group silently walks from one corpse to the next, pausing briefly at each before moving on, like zombie robots in collective resignation.
