“There’s something genuinely countercultural about rejecting massive platforms, tech surveillance, and optimized algorithms: you are choosing to operate outside the norms, outside the system that the web has become. You’re not feeding the machine. You’re building for your self.”
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
All this was a choice. I can’t get over how all of this was a choice. A plurality of American voters saw corruption, bigotry, pandemic, economic crisis, coup attempt, and criminal conviction, then opted for more.
Oh god, I just saw my first Vivek Ramaswamy ad.
A cooler at Birdfish Brewery in Columbiana, Ohio, with a large picture of Christopher Walken on it.
It’s a … wait for it … WALKEN COOLER!!
Killed, indeed, by Death. RIP Phil Campbell.

Look man, I’m not a US Senator. Me “acting like it” doesn’t do much.

Pretty sure my name is Michael, so you MUST be relatable. Process of elimination.
WTF is Kevin O'Leary wearing on CNN?
Screencap of Twitter @ChicagoBears "That's more like it Happy StPatricksDay Chicago" The river is photoshopped orange with "Happy St. Patrick's Day" printed on it in white.
Never forget when the Chicago Bears came out as Protestant Monarchists.

World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament
Ireland: Okay, great!
World rugby: as long as England win their game.

World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
I am, in fact, watching The Fugitive. I don’t have a wife but you can’t be too careful.
still can't get over this wild story about the ultimate fate of cursed Soviet nuclear submarine K-19 (whose real nickname was "Hiroshima", not "Widowmaker") & this former conscript who survived that near-meltdown & who *lives* in it now 😬

I'm a Gooper, they're a Gooper, she's a Gooper, we're a Gooper.
Wouldn't you like to be a Gooper too?

Unironically probably true in a “cultural zeitgeist turned against strong female protagonists” sort of way.
President Donald Trump, Saudi King Salman, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi touching The Orb in May 2017 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Which was to inaugurate an anti-terrorism center
Was suddenly reminded of this surreal image
The liminal ether through which the divine tendrils of our modern Gods twist and turn. Doing such with the Old Gods drove men mad.
OFFICIAL: F1 races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been cancelled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
They will not be rescheduled or replaced, meaning there are no races in April, and the 2026 calendar will be reduced to 22 Grands Prix. #F1
A photo of a blond cat's face as she is sitting in a window. She has golden orange eyes and is softly lit by the Sun.
As a #photographer who mostly shoots macro, i tend to prioritize sharpness and a a bit of contrast. However, I am trying new things and this photo of Biscuit was a bit overexposed and I embraced some glow and softness and it turned out pretty nicely!

Star Trek IV the One with the Whales scene. We're on the streets of San Francisco in the 80s. Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, and Spock are on the sidewalk. Kirk is standing in the street arguing with the driver of a car who looks like he had to stop because Kirk got in his way. Car guy has his arm up & out the window in the air giving the international sign for "WTF are you doing!?" Kurt, conversely, has that "AYYYY, IM WALKIN' HERE" kind of face. (Also Spock is in a bathrobe) Closed caption reads, "Well, a double dumb-ass on you!"
