LBJ only wanted extremely subservient aids, creating an environment where he could freely abuse them. He would force newly hired aids to watch him use the toilet as he barked orders at them, as a sort of literal "shit test". Wow

This reminds me. I was once at Yellowstone marvelling at an enormous jet of water shooting into the sky and a girl behind me angrily mumbled "what a waste of energy 🙄". Classic hydrothermal stan behavior

I am reading Caro's biography of LBJ. He wrote ONE THOUSAND PAGES about the 12 years LBJ was in the Senate alone. Very instructive book. I am entering my LBJ arc. Time to piss aggressively at people and commit rampant ballot stuffing

I think being stuck in standstill traffic might be the pinnacle of human experience. I'm glad America collectively spends millions of man-hours a day here. Gives me ample time to admire the whimsical typography of this billboard ad for SOC2 compliance

I'm deeply uncomfortable about growing old. Its nearly all downsides. And the bad news is, you can't do anything about it, except accept it. Well, I guess that's the good news, too.

I’ve had the pleasure of admiring this tree from the very first bud to this coming-of-age canopy. And this morning has me in one of those hackneyed “ah life is beautiful if you take the time to appreciate it “ moods. What can I say I’m a simp for spring.

My dad makes these horrible "ketchup sandwiches" (bread, butter and ketchup) regularly. He says his grandparents invented the "recipe" as a cheap meal during the Depression. If so, that's a great example of generational trauma

If you haven't eaten a sandwich made with a warm, freshly baked baguette you simply haven't lived. I'm never eating plain sliced bread again

Flossing is a psyop invented by dentists. I barely floss and I'm doing amazing. We are descended from thousands of generations of strong, non-flossing men. Don't let Big Floss tell you how to run your life

"Bluesky" is clearly pronounced "Blewskee" and instead of mutuals you have "blewskee buddies". I will not be taking any questions at this time

If you need any further evidence European racing is the most privileged sport in the world, here's a 25 year old Habsburg F2 driver who would literally be Archduke of Austria if they hadn't lost that pesky WWI

One of the receptionists at my building is constantly singing and scatting. Just sitting behind the desk going "bah bah bop... oOoOOoooOOO yeaHhhhh... NaaaAAAhhh..." Like a walking Hannah Montana scene transition. It's deranged but I respect it

One big bonus of decentralized social media is you don't have a single culture war referee. You don't have one trust and safety team trying to enforce a one values system for all of humanity. Pluralism is the only way to allow people with fundamentally opposed values to peacefully coexist

I'm a Web 1.0 bitch. Give me a raw HTML webpage. Give me an RSS feed. Phone apps were a mistake. As soon as people got the ability to upload photos from their phone camera to the internet it all went to hell
