they're bringing in immigrants that speak the Old Tongue. they're blasting people with forgotten syllables of power in the taco bell parking lots of Boca Raton, FL
My buddy just opened a Crumbl franchise in Forney, TX
27k population
There was a line around the door & there will be for some time
Is this a fad? No. Why?
Because when a Crumbl opens it puts other shops out of business. It's a better product.
Also, some owners net $1m+!
An incredible octopus extending its tentacles to create a large balloon-like shape was filmed by EVNautilus at a depth of approximately 1,600 meters (5,250 feet).
so basically the world is evil because there's a big hole in reality called the metabolic rift that connects our world to the evil dimension and we have to close the hole using a special magic sword
the idea that some groups are just innately better at tolerating certain environments has been used for hundreds of years in the u.s. to justify pushing black people into the most dangerous and uncomfortable work environments
this is so advanced. unfortunately many of you probably lack the intelligence to fully comprehend f-kurapika x leorio domestic bliss cooking together soup recipe
when an uSSian dies their corpse is put inside of the largest car their family can afford and then the car is lit on fire. uSSians believe this practice allows the departed to spend eternity running over small children and dogs
birds are in many ways the fish of the sky. but the sky sea is incomplete. we must genetically engineer sky sharks, sky whales, sky squid, sky octopus, sky clams etc.

interesting loop here tho in places like miami where the gov spends like crazy to maintain beaches because they need to keep property values up to keep government revenues up.

some guy was telling me like "i would be a climate terrorist if i wasnt such a coward so instead i Believe In Democracy". thank you for the honesty brother.
get good at writing fake resumes now that skill will be the difference between life and death when the time comes to persuade one of the water warlords that you know medicine or witchcraft or civil engineering
this one is for all the indentured mushroom farmers and water collectors out there. wasteland raiding is the number 1 fastest growing industry in 2028. check out the link in my bio when you're ready to learn more about this exciting opportunity
nice little stream i visited the other day. tons of tannins and a habit of weaving not just back and forth but also up and down through the surrounding limestone
stop pretending like i'm not the victim here. my manor is totally surrounded by the village and its outlying farmland which makes me feel trapped bc you guys are crazy hostile to me even though most of you have too much blood to begin with and i'm basically doing you a favor
They should invent an ethical sort of whaling that I can do without feeling bad. Like they should breed some sort of horrible sea monster full of valuable minerals for me to kill

we've moved from the capitalism of old into a new form of capitalism i like to call "spring capitalism". it's possible that this will progress into summer or even fall capitalism in the coming months...
if you're a communist you may find it helpful to do some kind of excercise like walking or hiking or running. this is because taking a stroll can be enjoyable and may help you chill out
grandfather appreciates me keeping him from falling and getting seriously hurt but has basically no idea who i am. you win some you lose some. suppose everyone's loved ones forget them either before or after death
@castawaymariner
half the tips are just "don't finish books" which is still somehow better advice than you'll get from the other half which is stuff like "don't read quickly" "have a podcast" "read fiction" "the trick to reading is reading"
distressing to see just how quickly after rafaat's death the hacks start reaching out with their grubby hands trying to grab hold of and twist his memory
guy who is in hospice that i help take care of asked me if he's dying and i said everybody dies. he told a story about his wife's parents not liking him bc he didn't think there is an afterlife. i said even if this is all we get, isn't it pretty sweet.
took my laptop apart to clean it, lost a screw, tore a ribbon cable, put it back together and the only change is that the microphone started working. this thing literally has some kind of ghost in it.
From where I stand, society's ideal system should be "seven rest days". Following Sunday, there should ensue a second, a third, and indeed an infinite procession of Sundays. This should be the face of the new world - idyllic, eternal, peaceful days.
My HOT TAKE of the day is that we need to talk more openly about signs that your therapist sucks so people can find a better clinician sooner and/or not give up on therapy as a whole.
letby case is fr terrifying. would hate to have the bits of my diary where i talk about feeling guilt or isolation or self loathing turn into front page news + proof that im a serial killer
sorry if this is preachy but if there is something in this world that matters to you, please try to do it. and if there are people in this world that you care about, please try to show them that. your time, and theirs, is very limited.

people only call this place the wasteland because of their limited imagination. i look out across the ocean of poisonous sand and see opportunity. like what if i put this sand in someone's food and then stole their stuff. what if i got the boys together and we robbed a traveler.
(i’m voting for biden in the general so no need to yell at me but) as someone who has organized professionally and/or in a volunteer capacity for 15~ years, i recommend everyone worried about the election start canvassing/phone banking instead of yelling at people on twitter
man i fucked up so bad. i should be hitting things with rocks. i should be eating fresh oysters by the sea. instead i am spending all day typing on computer inside. moron.
Videos of long-tailed macaques using stone tools to crack open rock oysters - and Koram Island in Thailand where it takes place. Some of the tools they use look like miniature versions of stone-age hand axes with sharp edges and points appropriate for precision hacking.
The reason people scoff is that, at least in academia, "indigeneity" has become a magic word that is evacuated of both historical and cultural specificity, flattens all differences between indigenous groups, and is accompanied by exoticizing appeals to pre-rational "wisdom" 1/
when marchese asked malm "could you give me a reason to live" he was asking to be converted. he wanted to be told to blow up a pipeline, slash an suv's tires. he was asking for his empty soul to be filled with revolutionary fire
we need a mass unemployment initiative. we need to be paying people to chill the fuck out. there need to be laws against hustling, grinding, building etc.
the situation in houston is so bleak. the way our rulers are ignoring it is even bleaker. a preview of whats in store for everyone who doesn't have enough personal wealth and power to save themselves.
without power so i'm spending a lot of time with my thoughts. and most of what i keep thinking is that things are gonna get so so much darker. don't think any of us are truly prepared for where the rising tides of fascism and climate change are taking us.
hes so cooked lmao. reposting an ft article that repeats the same wrong and boring argument about "left wing overreach" that we've been hearing for decades. if this is what you got, you got nothing.
I think if technological trends continue this'll make a comeback. In future decades fewer people will have *a* name, and "true names" will once again begin to be guarded as a secret, like in myth or magic...

@grundrza
all of the stuff he says about how admin acts, what admin wants etc. doesn't match anything i know or have experienced. the stuff he says about "humanities making the case for themselves on use-value rather than knowledge acquisition" seems less offensive at first
