1/ So I've spent a whole day on #Threads and I've realized:

Joining #Masto is like being invited to an open house party where you say hello and everyone says hi back and offers you a cheese hors d'ouevres and a drink and then you sit back and let the chatter wash over while you sit on the couch

Dear people who have already watched #Oppenheimer:

"Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like we're living in a bad cyberpunk novel from the 1980s?
"It's because these guys read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a dystopia for a road map. They're rich enough to bend reality to reflect their desires."

When one watches these films or tv shows where the good guy ends up leveling a gun at the bad guy and the bad guy taunts them that they don't have the guts to kill them
Look, all I'm saying that it doesn't have to be this zero-sum moral dilemma
Just shoot them in the kneecaps
Or better yet, the balls

/sorry, just watched too many stupid movies today while incapacitated on my Bed of Pain

mfmarchadesch,

Then again, there's always this to consider, from Sir PTerry:

1/3 Oho, new-ish BDO bank #scam?

Just got a call from an unknown number +639485042871 🚩 from a woman who asked if I had already received a call from BDO regarding the updating of my credit card, 🚩 informing me that I had P5k worth of unclaimed reward points from cc usage that is convertible to cash 🚩 but to claim them I needed to verify my account by giving her the LAST FOUR DIGITS of my account number 👀👀👀 🚩🚩🚩

    I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that Lorraine is certifiably insane.

    I'm not even gonna attempt to poke the "BEES. SO MANY BEES" that is the 80-odd years of Israeli-Palestinian "relations", but if this is true, then Bibi Netanyahu and Hamas are even bigger venal, fascist, and corrupt warmongering fools than I ever gave them credit for
    I mean, what kind of tit-arsed logic is this insane and CLEARLY unsustainable apartheid policy based on?

    /also, US-based news is near-unwatchable at the moment

    Back before the apocalypse, my mom and I used to go to all these classical music concerts around the city, because I liked recitals, and she liked recitals, it was Our Thing.

    I should start going to recitals again.

    allergic rhinitis, chronic nasal drip, seasonal depression, and post-holiday tiredness and malaise

    I never quite know if #BulwerLytton is actually in earnest or if it's a years-long troll, because some of these are hilarious and I wouldn't mind reading the rest of these

    Or maybe I just unironically love bad fiction

    "She was a beautiful woman; more specifically she was the kind of beautiful woman who had an hourlong skincare routine that made her look either ethereal or like a glazed donut, depending on how attracted to her you were."

    Watching The Last Voyage of the Demeter on the recommendation of one of my students:

    "Oh miss, it's so bad, you're gonna hate it!"

    Well, don't threaten me with a good time, then

    YESSSS
    I have been desperately wanting a copy of this book for literal DECADES

    My 25-year-old bootleg version I photocopied back in my undergrad days is literally falling to bits
    (This was one of the books I'd included in my planned Grand U.P. Main Library Heist of 2001 before they put in barcodes and doorway scanners)

    If you've been involved in #FanStudies for as long as I have, (and also have beef with #Amazon), you know how important this text is.

    Spaghetti all'assassina, 1.0. Because the pasta is not pre-boiled but instead tossed directly into the hot pan with garlic and chili flakes in olive oil, the texture is thicker because of the unwashed-away starch, even though it is eventually boiled into pomodoro sauce. Interesting.

    That said, needs more spice. And salt.

    Yesterday was #StarTrekDay and I MISSED IT 😭

    The #LowerDecks season 4 premiere is making me horribly nostalgic and now I must rewatch #Voyager
    (which has IMHO the best of all the ST series opening theme tunes FIGHT ME)

    So this will be #StarTrek Weekend Bingewatch with Bonus Knit-along instead

    Nothing like waking up in the best mood you've ever been in in the past--oh I dunno, 6 weeks?--and making yourself the biggest breakfast of very buttery scrambled eggs and toast, and then actively considering cleaning up the garden you've neglected for the last two months. It's upswing season again!

    Enough yarn for two, quite possibly 3 projects

    I could've ordered these online and piecemeal BUT NO, I AM A CHILD THAT WANTS THINGS NOW

    NO. EQ. WHATSO. FUCKING. EVER.

    Thank you Ms Trey of Gantsilyo Guru Selections for helping me with picking out the right colors AND weight for my rainbow-themed thingy!

    who would've thought that VOLCANO was going to be on the Class Cancellation Bingo Card today
