Here to complain whilst (I’m not even British) sounding smart. Yes, that’s my English Mastiff - Lilly Belle. No, I’m not an Anglophile—Mastiffs are simply the best dogs. Period. Nonnegotiable!
Am I the only one who buys a lottery ticket (but only when it’s around $400M, because $20M or $1M just doesn’t cut it for my lifestyle) and immediately starts buying things like I’ve already won

Did anyone else watch Dune and wonder what those giant worms were eating besides humans to get so big? I admit, I didn’t read the book, so I’m clueless if they had a secret snack

I’m not sure how or why this was a sign, but Randy Quaid saving America in Independence Day should have been the first clue that things were bound to go south eventually

Am I doing this Bluesky thing wrong if I’m the only one in my own starter pack?

Is anyone else here totally clueless about decentralized social media, open platforms, and why they’re either good or bad? Like, I’m not terrible with tech - I can point my camera at a QR code - but I have no idea what happens when they meet or where they meet. @bsky.app , help!

Ever go on a camping trip thinking you need some nature time only to start setting up the tent and immediately regret all your life choices? Then you take some scenic pics post them on social media and think This is my influencer moment only to get two likes, one from your wife and one from your mom

Does anyone else stay at a hotel, fall in love with the bed, look up how much it costs, and then suddenly remember how much they love their own bed? Happens every time!

Does anyone else remember how we used to get around without our phones? And no, I’m not one of those I know how to use a map people. I’m talking pure vibes and questionable directions from strangers.

I’m not gonna lie, I wish my dad had pardon power like that. When the feds (aka my sister) caught me sneaking back in after my first party at 15, the judge (my mom) sentenced me to six months of hard chores. No appeals allowed

Can guacamole just calm down and stop aging like it’s in a time-lapse video? Stay green, my dude

Does anyone else find it funny when even autocorrect is like, Nah, I have no clue what you’re trying to say? Then you Google the word, realize autocorrect had a point, and immediately delete your search history… just in case!

What do you do when you’re both a dog person and a cat person? Choosing a side in the ‘dogs vs. cats’ debate feels like picking a favorite child—impossible and bound to end in betrayal!

Does anyone else think Teams is the worst thing to come out of COVID? People are worried about the government tracking us—and more so now—but let’s be real, Microsoft already owns my soul.

When you’re walking your dog and forget poo bags, and they decide to poo on someone’s lawn, do you do the awkward look around, pretending nothing just happened? Or do you sigh dramatically and try to communicate to the world with your body language that you’ll come back to pick it up (you won’t)?

Does anyone else subscribe to every streaming service and still say, ugh, cable was so expensive, I’d never go back, even though your streaming bill is now double your old cable bill? Just me?

Back at Michigan, I took a climate class—can’t remember the name—and the professor ruined Titanic for me. Apparently, Leo never would have survived being locked in freezing water. And that, my friends, is why science sucks.

Just saw the Wicked movie and all I could think was: Elphaba would absolutely dominate in Gladiator. Meanwhile, Glinda’s bubble wouldn’t last five seconds in the Colosseum

Is it just me, or is it hilarious that Austin Powers somehow found his way into Gladiator 2? All we were missing were sharks with lasers on their heads!

Does anyone else die a little inside when the Chipotle employee bangs the chicken scooper and half the chicken disappears? And then you have to awkwardly say, ‘extra chicken, please,’ fully knowing it’s basically $10 more? Or is it just me?

Charles Kushner as ambassador to France feels like a real estate deal gone wrong dressed up as diplomacy. Nothing says ‘representing America’ like hiring a prostitute to intimidate your brother-in-law, dodging taxes, and getting pardoned by your son-in-law’s father-in-law. Vive la corruption!

Just rewatched Her and realized Joaquin Phoenix’s job is writing personal letters for people who can’t. But why didn’t he just have Samantha write them? She’s literally an AI built for emotional connection—seems like a missed business opportunity.

Why doesn’t anyone warn you that buying a Jeep comes with automatic membership to the hand-waving club? The most unexpectedly inclusive car—on the outside, at least (the interior always scares me)!

Anyone else stayed at one of those OG Airbnbs where the whole family’s at the table waiting for you to eat breakfast? No, I don’t want to poo in the shared bathroom that stinks up the whole house. Airbnb needs a warning label for this!

Now on Bluesky, with the butterfly logo, what is it?
• Fluttered (‘I just fluttered’)
• Pollinated (‘I pollinated’)
• Blued (‘I blued it’)
• Skyed (‘I skyed a thought’)
Or are they just ‘butterposts’?
