Lifelong Washingtonian, progressive, boardgamer, frequent complainer about the #NYTXW and #NYTSpellingBee, daily #Wordle solver (but I don't even post my score any more), mostly suffering fan of the #Nats and #Caps (minus one glorious season for each).

Them: “You can mask if you want to”

My brain: 🎵 We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t mask and if they don’t mask
Well, they’re no friends of mine 🎵

Today I learned that 10-20% of drivers sometimes do not wear seat belts.

Oh.

This explains our problems with compliance with measures to control covid.

me: hey big companies, can I download all of your copyrighted movies and music and images in case one inspires me to make something someday?

big companies: lol no get rekt

also big companies: btw we're downloading and using all of your copyrighted works to stuff into our machine learning models

I truly can't express right now how mad I am about music streaming generally and the absolute decay of Apple's iTunes ecosystem in favor of Apple Music specifically.

Do yourself a favor: own a copy of your music. Don't use a streaming service.

STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT

* CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR

* YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT

* Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell.

"Hello I would like my saved daylight back please"

They have played us for absolute fools.

I thought plums were only meant as breakfast food
Saved for someone else, but not for me
Plums were out to get me
So cold and so sweet
Delicious stonefruit haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her fridge
Now I'm a plum thiever
Please forgive
My obvious crime
Cold sweet plums, I'm a plum thiever,
I'm gonna leave her a short rhyme

"Stop living in fear, you just need to go out and live your life!"

it is very important to remind the public not to piss on the police if they are on fire
I've long believed that the crucial advantage of the term "queer" over the acronyms is that it acknowledges that diversity is not something you can exhaustively enumerate. we must be always prepared to embrace diversity that we hadn't considered before. this is the most consistent inclusivity

2. A Tesla shall protect its own existence, so long as such action does not conflict with the First Law.
3. A Tesla shall protect its occupants, so long as such action does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4. Fuck everyone and everything else.
