I like eating burritos and watching movies. Do you want to get burritos and watch a movie? [email protected] (You can also email me if you want to hire me I guess but I'll be more excited for burritos and movies).

Maybe everything sucks right now because there isn't a good party band.
We need a new Andrew WK or LMFAO.
That'll fix us.

That feel when you wake up only to discover that folks you came up with are still crashing out, embarrassing themselves, and reminding you just how thankful you are that you took a wildly different path.

Holy shit. This is peak content. It's just over a minute and a half and, if you love PTA, you owe it to yourself to watch it. If you hate PTA, you REALLY owe it to yourself to watch it.
The YouTube algorithm served this to me and it was right to do so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIul...

Fun fact: Every time you click on an ad for a company you find reprehensible, it costs them money.
As a bonus, it trains your algorithm to think you like that thing, so it sends you more of those ads to click on and waste their budget.

The Birdcage for sure. Even outside of the LGBT qualifier, it might be a top 25 film for me.
Name your fav LGBT film or show.

The memory cards I bought last year (in december) are currently 400% more expensive.
Goddamn I hate AI so much right now.
I bought them because I heard it would get bad. If I knew it was gonna be this bad I woulda bought 10 more.

I started a youtube channel to talk about self-development ideas I learn about, because at this point I've probably forgotten more of them than I've retained.
Maybe if I make videos about the things I learn they'll stick better.. or at least I'll have a video to watch about it.

Rewatching the Original Star Wars trilogy. On RotJ. Why did we all have such a crush on Boba Fett? He kinda "dies" like a bitch. Like he's supposed to be this elite bounty hunter and he all he does is float over to the skiff and miss a bunch of shots and then get knocked out by a blind guy.

Has anyone come up with a good list of words to block if you just want some of your social media to be whimsical places of escapism?
Like I don't need to be bombarded by bullshit every single time I log onto every single social media site. Gimme one where I can pretend the world isn't on fire.

Is there a way to filter "only some people can reply" from my feed? I don't need care for people I don't follow to be dropped into my feed and not be able to respond. Kinda ruins the whole point of the site for me.

I try to stay positive on main, but I don't know, man, asking for some level of "authenticity" in a depiction of a story with Cyclopes, a sorceress who transmutes sailors into pigs, singing sea witches, and gods turning a two week cruise into a 20 year voyage sounds absolutely dumb as fuck to me.

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

I'm bad at sharing my work. In part because most of the work I do is pragmatic corporate communications photos that are hard to get excited about, but sometimes I get to do cool shit.
Here's some photos from a recent dance performance at a local prairie. It was cool. I took too many photos.
