Underrated side-benefit of atheism: most paranormal horror films can be dismissed as the absurdist comedies they are. #SundayThoughts

nostr:npub1xsymv0rcpcxj360a5274hx2l8d46lhfrz82w0ra3e0kneqkwkxysyxcevg I hear about things in the sky all the time. It’s never 9pm. It’s always 4am. No, thank you. I’ll pass on the monkey moon or whatever the hell it is this week. Waxing gibbons and all.

To quote Jerry Seinfeld, “Is this really something I haven’t seen before?”

All the specialized, domain-specific vocab you’d rarely encounter otherwise. Language is endlessly fascinating, but football would zzzzzz…

Was just thinking back to the last time I actually went out to intentionally watch the #Perseids. God help me I think it was 1993 and (math is hard™ but) THAT’S 30 YEARS AGO.

nostr:npub18yl523aft0stkww4vr3dqxxafwjve6x3vrvsfa4hla698zp8gdqqy0pegw I’m one of those weird-mix lefties: write & draw left-handed, and some sports (hockey/golf/baseball) I *shoot* right (like most lefties), but almost everything else is rightie (i.e., throw right, catch left; racquet sports RH). So scissors, knives, power tools, etc., have never been a problem for me). Computer mouse: RH only; TrackPad: LH only.

I feel like a bad lefty. 🙃

nostr:npub1ccruyu99k72wrf3turtp6hqzmtqygevlc9vhmylwp3q7h9efv4ys0ystyy flipping this on its head a bit, I really resent not having been taught any computer/internet jargon — given what I do for a living — when I took French Immersion.

(This is mitigated somewhat by these things not yet existing at the time, but I never claimed to be rational.)

Dear every YouTuber ever: we have our own music playing locally already, thanks. Don’t need your muzak droning along with you (besides, you’re playing @ 2× speed, anyway). Here for information; you’re not entertaining. #grumble #getOffMyLawn

As long as there’s an early Dire Straits vibe on this Sunday morning. https://music.apple.com/ca/album/portobello-belle/1440721443?i=1440721613

“Stepping out to ensue the chase for my coffee beans”

“Stepping out to Angelucci’s for my coffee beans”

One of these is the opening line of Wild West End, a #DireStraits song.

One is not.

I was only wrong for 45 years. In my defence: Knopfler mumble-sings the Italian proper name of an establishment I’d never heard of (growing up pre-Internet in New Brunswick) in a London accent when I misheard it as a tween as “ensue the chase”. #misheardLyrics #mondigreen #coffee
