Is it an industry wide gag that sign shops must have the most abysmal signs advertising their store?

It's like coming across a door with a knob that is too close to the middle. And not in a whimsical hobbit way

It takes putting together furniture from not ikea to make you really appreciate ikea

For the first time ever, there are more obese children than underweight children in the world

AI is nowhere near the shitposting abilities of humans

A new hack for increasing my reading speed showed up on my feed. And I think something in me snapped. I am running into the woods to be as unproductive as possible.

It feels like the new investors' darlings are companies with these insane moonshot technology ideas that are nowhere close to reaching fruition. Its like romanticized fraud

@danielgreene.bsky.social did you ever figure out what lamc stood for in your fantasy road map?

It's raining outside. Finally, the right weather to read.

I just can't bring myself to annotate books or use those stickers. I am sure some people find the practice genuinely helpful and enjoyable, but it feels performative when I do it.

I am completely dedicated to wasting my own time

I go and find a book that excites me based on the cover/blurb alone. Then I go next door from my favorite bookstore to my favorite coffee shop and immediately start reading. I just need momentum, so I have to get myself a book that I want to read "right now".

I somehow planned to do a bunch of productive projects while on short term disability, completely overestimating how the whole short term disability thing will impact my ability to be productive...

I need a book club. But, it just consists of my friends. And, we only read books I have already read that I really need my friends to read as well. Also, they are required to text me live updates when they hit the good parts.

This happened to me with a book. I remember the title being "grief is the thing with feathers" but this is a totally different book than the book that actually exists with that title. One of my favorite books too and its like I imagine the whole thing

But where will you read the most unhinged takes imaginable without the AITA subreddit?

Firefox makes a bold move following recent YouTube adblock update

As an aussie owner, the double merle is so sad. Breeders only do it because merles sell for far more than non-merles. But 25% of the litter will have crippling health issues. And aussies are such a sweet breed of dog.

The bookstore employee complimented my taste in books. So maybe think about the way you speak to me.

Last year I read 47 books. This year so far, I have read 5. I am going to blame it on 2025 being a write off year. It simply doesn't count.

Brown dog running through a field at sunset. Mountains in the distance.

She never questions her ability to do anything or whether she deserves to have her needs met. Be more dog
