I swear to you, by whichever diety you find to be the most trustworthy, that there is someone in the office today blowing the softest little toots on an honest-to-Jeff HARMONICA.
Being back in the office five days a week has been hard on all of us.
Toot toot, little bird. Toot for all of us.

Galadriel: "Will you look into the mirror?"
Frodo: "What will I see?"
Galadriel: "Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror… shows many things…"
Frodo: “All I see are blooms of algae. There are also chunks some sort of bluish paint, looking torn from the depths of Moria.”

Not my neurodivergent ass thinking the lyrics

meant the house was 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 constructed in the middle of the road. Cars had to drive around it because it was in the way.
Why is this not a major concern for the Department of Transportation?

I have decided to permanently retire the phrase "Worst. Apocalypse. Ever." because all the apocalypses are now crowding around asking me to hold their beers and honestly I only have so many hands, fellas.

I really don't get how each year for our entire lives, we can say, "I can't believe it's only 1 p.m.!" when the clocks roll back when 2 p.m. wasn't really that much later. Yet it still feels like HOURS.
Come on, circadian rhythm, we literally do this every single year get a grip on yourself.

So, if someone can have a “dry wit,” it is also therefore possible to have a “wet wit.”
I will not be taking questions at this time.

Seán Ferrick is one of the kindest, most inclusive souls out there. (We haven't met, but any amount of time watching videos or listening to podcasts will tell you all you need to know), so to hear this breaks my heart.
To summarize: Fuck genocide, free the hostages, and free Palestine.

Hate comments, emails to my boss, and even an 'how can irishmen have an opinion considering irelands position in WW2'
Because I said I believe in peace in the middle east and a free Palestine in a video.
Anyway, fuck genocide, free the hostages, and free Palestine
