I want acceleration blocked by the ground to store velocity in a hidden variable so i can go to the other side of the earth and access the stored velocity to launch myself into space at nine billion meters per second

Now and then, it's important to unplug and spend time with the real people in your life so you can appreciate how much better it is online.

Shake it Baby...😂 I caught this red tail hawk right after he shook himself...I love it. His feathers are all fluffed up! 🙂 ❤️

I'm tired of living like it's the 1600s:

Can I afford eggs at the market?
Are my family going to die of the plague?
Puritans are coming for my sinful lifestyle.

I want modern problems.
Modern Problems.

"Cows are so dumb! LOL!" They said, carelessly filling their mouth with scalding hot soup

Taco Bell is currently playing what I would describe as really bad island music at alarming volumes. It’s not on brand. It’s not the vibe. It’s not the mood.

Two pieces of news on the subject of why our work matters. Elections matter and our involvement in them matters.

"Getting #COVID19 is inevitable" is a dumb argument. If you drive an average amount, it's inevitable you'll have an accident. (In fact, data tells us you'll have 2-4 in your lifetime.) Does that mean we drive recklessly and invite accidents? No, we take precautions!

By now, we all should know:
- Reinfections occur
- Reinfections raise health risks
- Immunity fades
- COVID can damage your brain, heart & immune system

We should be striving to reduce how often we all get (and spread) COVID!

Rode an elevator today for the first time in months. It’s true, you never forget how

Hot singles in your area are burning up re-entering the atmosphere

Just this.

@bkm It’s all biometrics.

Grape juice is the best juice. Orange juice is also the best juice but don’t tell Grape. Or Pineapple. Which is also also the best juice.

When I was about ten, I noticed an infrared light in our VCR and became convinced that it was a hidden camera that my parents were using to spy on me.

I wasn’t a bad kid so I wasn’t worried, but I convinced myself that if I sang and danced for the camera, my parents would FINALLY see my talent and help me get on Star Search.

For the next month, I did super weird performances in front of that VCR until I finally acknowledged that they hadn’t provided any feedback on my skillz, at which point I concluded that the only logical conclusion was that the camera wasn’t working, so I…

DISMANTLED THE VCR to examine the camera.

Once everything was opened up and pulled apart, I realized I had no idea what I was looking at so I just screwed everything back together with a bunch of loose, rattling parts inside.

About a week later, I remember watching my dad trying to play a Beverly Hills Cop VHS tape to no avail and silently thinking “this is YOUR fault for not seeing my full POTENTIAL, daaaaad!”
