can’t stop thinking about the terrible portmanteau “dickmatized”
if it’s “dick”+“hypnotized” why is it not “dicknotized”‽
“-matized” brings to mind “stigmatized” & “traumatized” which are antithetical to the spirit of the term, imho
i’m sure there’s a linguistic term for this but i still hate it

Computer: You're so right to demand identification--that ship isn't just crossing the neutral zone, but making aggressive maneuvers. Let's dive in.
Riker: Enough! Is it an experimental Romulan design?
Computer: That's a really great observation-

i’m no stranger to getting harassed in public, but i was truly at a loss when a teenager at the park saw me with my 4-year-old son and started with repeatedly asking “are you gay?” (quotidian, i am) before escalating to “hey there he is with his kid who he fucks” (darksided, soulless)

i mean it still is gross, but at least it’s not mega-ultra-gross (and there are plenty of mega-ultra-gross things happening right now!!)
Leading Democrats said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called a new White House ballroom Donald Trump’s top priority as president. But Leavitt said it was his top priority compared only with other White House construction projects.
Democrats twist words on ballroom as Trump top ‘priority’

when i was at a protest today at an ICE detention facility a big truck drove by and sort of rolled coal “at” us, if that makes any sense, and like wow, look at the big strong man blowing black smoke in the faces of a bunch of mostly old ladies doing dorky chants, good for you bud

I wish the author (the incomparable Lindy West) was the preview image instead, but when people claim it’s impossible for them to leave xtheeverythingapp maybe remind them that, as this piece from eight Gregorian years ago illustrates, ‘twas ever thus
I’ve left Twitter. It is unusable for anyone but trolls, robots and dictators | Lindy West

if you conduct an auditioned volunteer choir, the repertoire and rehearsal schedule should be planned such that if a singer attends every rehearsal they will be set up for success at the concert; practicing outside of rehearsal should not be an expectation
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

i’m formulating a theory now that this takes place in the same universe as Murder, She Wrote 🤔
My favorite part about Alan Wake is that those games imagine a world where small town folk not only recognize an author by his face but also get Tom Cruise levels of stoked by the thought of meeting him.
