youtube has accurately guessed my interests, good job youtube thank you for the recommendations

Screengrab of Youtube with the header, "Explore more topics" and "Timothee Chalamet" is highlighted as the default. It shows 3 suggested videos; all 3 are the same video, the new Dune 3 trailer, posted by different Warner Bros accounts (New Zealand, Pictures SA, Australia)

i honestly don’t get what one hopes to accomplish by being this stupid and insufferable

Post from me: even though it’s technically a win,
this case still scares the shit out of me. Quoted post: a link to my podcast about the birthright citizenship Supreme Court case.

reply to me from Sisyphus Rex: wait more than a rapist con man getting reelected after a failed coup d’état?

caption on the photo for the now-retracted alito story says he retired “friday” …… 🤔 possible this was embargoed and then released early?

A photo of Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito. The caption says, “Justice Sam Alito, seen here in April 2021, retired Friday.” It accompanies the first sentence of a now-retracted NPR story. The first line reads “Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the Supreme Court’s opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, is retiring, the court announced Tuesday.”

big things happening today in my household

my dog lambo laying on a well made bed. he's at the head of the bed, in the center, resting his head on a pillow and his back on another pillow, curled up. he has two different stuffed animals in bed with him, a little lamb, which is at his feet, and a grey giraffe, which is further down the bed.

(1) i don’t think you actually envy those people if you immediately follow it up with an insult (2) as for the insult, the poster has it exactly backwards. the inability to suspend disbelief isn’t a sign of maturity. it’s a sign of a dull and rigid mind, completely lacking in imagination.

at the skate park nailing a sick 360 degree heel flip when disaster strikes: my weekly pill organizer flies from my pocket, spilling my various mood stabilizers and anti-anxiety meds all over the half pipe

an image from Amazon.com selling a metal weekly pill organizer. The image shows a woman with jet black hair in a flue shirt and white pants, crouched low on a skateboard, flexed at the waister, arms out, ready to execute a trick. a blurry pill organizer seems to be flying away from her. The caption reads: "Accidental Drop? No Spills, No Mixing." and below that "Dual-Layer Design/ Even more solid Even more moisture-resistant"

A cartoon with a caption “Most people rejected his message. They hated Jesus because he told them the truth.” The cartoon depicts a bunch of men scowling at Jesus, and one of them yells “Shut up!”

i love philosophers man. this is extremely my shit

It sounds plausible. But now let me ask you to imagine this. You wake up in the morning and find yourself back to back in bed with an unconscious violinist. A famous unconscious violinist. He has been found to have a fatal kidney ailment, and the Society of Music Lovers has canvassed all the available medical records and found that you alone have the right blood type to help. They have therefore kidnapped you, and last night the violinist's circulatory system was plugged into yours, so that your kidneys can be used to extract poisons from his blood as well as your own. The director of the hospital now tells you, "Look, we're sorry the Society of Music Lovers did this to you--we would never have permitted it if we had known. But still, they did it, and the violinist is now plugged into you. To unplug you would be to kill him. But never mind, it's only for nine months. By then he will have recovered from his ailment, and can safely be unplugged from you." Is it morally incumbent on you to accede to this situation? No doubt it would be very nice of you if you did, a great kindness. But do you have to accede to it? What if it were not nine months, but nine years? Or longer still? What if the director of the hospital says. "Tough luck. I agree. but now you've got to stay in bed, with the violinist plugged into you, for the rest of your life. Because remember this. All persons have a right to life, and violinists are persons. Granted you have a right to decide what happens in and to your body, but a person's right to life outweighs your right to decide what happens in and to your body. So you cannot ever be unplugged from him." I imagine you would regard this as outrageous, which suggests that something really is wrong with that plausible-sounding argument I mentioned a moment ago.

honestly this so great for him. he gets to run but more importantly gets the full engage, chase, catch, eat cycle. like a little play acted predator eating his prey. he’s always content after

important drawing advice: if you’ve drawn in most of face with some fine shading and good proportions, do NOT finish it by putting in a nose that looks like a 3-year-old tried to draw a hand
