The best part of being on LinkedIn is hate following Ray Dalio. It's possible he was smart and insightful at one point in the past but his brain has been utterly melted by decades of richoid eustress deficiency.

It's honestly gotten to the point where I think many institutions would prefer a predictably bad economy over a wildly swinging one.

EFSF standard issue beanbags for emergency bridge crew cuddle puddles.

Screenshot from original Mobile Suit Gundam depicting Sayla Maas leaning comfortably/companionably against Mirai Yashima on a pillow or bean bag while captain Bright Noa sits on another bag nearby. Behind them the bridge equipment of the White Base sits unattended. This is from an episode about the breakdown of military discipline among the pilots.

I have seen somebody advertising their High School freshman lacrosse player in Tumblr, encouraging people to share his highlight reels with their fave college coaches. ON TUMBLR.

This is in response to somebody using the R-slur to describe the inclusion of "grape" in a star wars show, and my disdain for fandom managed to sink to a new low. Elysium honestly appeared to be too subtle for these gentle fascists.

Twitter user "Think Before You Sleep" saying: Sounds like literal Elysium levels of on the nose where a Spanish speaking Matt Damon and some illegals try to go to the rich people space pentagram so they can get free healthcare."

Twitter user "America's weekday lounge singer" saying "here's the thing. If you think Trump is a fascist like Hitler was the. You have to accept that this is a ridiculous thing to do. "In response to Hitler's policies, some members of the German left party wore purple hats" do you see how stupid that sounds" in a retweet of Ken Klippe stein sharing that some de.oxrstic members protested Trump by wearing pink to the speech.

Yesterday I saw BTR used as an abbreviation for "Bocchi the Rock" for the first time. Unfortunately, I have access to PowerPoint and transparent pngs of the main cast.

Poorly cropped images of the cast of Bocchi the Rock in differing art styles pasted over Soviet soldiers riding stop a BTR-70 in a Reuters file photo from the Afghan War. I the background the only image of Nijika's older sister with a transparent backing ominously references a meme.

Despite being the only member of my family (discounting newborn nephew) not to attend the college and receive a discount on lift tickets, the Middlebury Snowbowl remains an affordable and beautiful place for some skiing.

You inspired me:

The 500 Days of Summer meme, with Joseph Gordon Levitt's character declaring he loves "AC" while four copy pasted Zooey Deschanels respond "Me too!" In the second frame JGL is revealed to be referring to Animal Crossing, while the Deschanels are thinking of Ace Combat, Armored Core, Assassin's Creed, and Air Conditioning respectively.

Speaking of posting more pictures, here's a recent one I'm proud of, particularly because I was at the mall for work. Lucky I got my lens cap off in time to take any pictures of the Quinceañera party walking by.
