This is like the "reddit is singing" meme, but somehow way less charming.

Helen Tudor-Fisk levels of fashion

nothing to be done

is that the one cory doctorow mentioned in his book? because i forgot to write it down 🙄

I've name my fists Rosencrantz and Guildenstern...No, Guldenstern and Rosencrantz...I've named my fists Rosenstern and Guildencrantz!

...

Surely, I have named my fists?

(with apologies to Tom Stoppard)

Sorry, is this guy just doing, yknow, regular old Mushrooms?

Why the big deal? Has he never been to a music festival?

Also, mushrooms is 10000x more fun when everyone in the room is doing them. I wouldn't want even one sober person in the room.

"If mum and dad are saying it, it must be true" is what I always (inexpertly) say, when people ask me how kids come up with terrible stuff.

Still in school in the early 00s, I got to learn what a LOT of families used to say privately about anyone with brown skin, post 9/11.

My work, a couple years ago: If you are taking break outside of your set break times, you need to msg or call your super

My work, two weeks later: Please... please stop.

Policy mothballed. Malicious compliance gets. shit. done.

I'd say common over 40 isn't a stretch. Although my main encyclopedia was Encarta96

I'm weirded out most by everyone having their own s&p. I don't know why, but apparently that's a red flag for me.

Two books I've already read in one month? Unprecedented!

Anyone carrying on about blame, or calling for heads can put their jersey back in storage until the next playoff run and wait for the bandwagon to pick you up.

Was the same after we faltered a decade ago. "Just like the Leafs!" they smirked. Fans just smile ruefully and pencil in spring training.
