I thought Agatha Christie made Belgium up?!
Wallachia is actually in Romania, duh.
I'd love to, know where I can find them?
Woah, there's a cool little spider on my wall. I wonder what it's called?
Alt: A picture of a spider above which is its common name (Wall Spider) and scientific name (Oecobius navus).
Ah, I loved that movie but had forgotten the name.
Most plant varieties are copywrited, or somwthing similar. It's not actually as crazy as it sounds but it's definitely abused, just like all copyright law.
I know you did

Two mastodon posts from the year progress account. The first post shows a 100% complete status bar. The second is a 0% status bar.
I hate this fucking country so much.
American Democracy in a nutshell. You get two choices, they're both awful...
The democratic process doesn't start on election day.
Fuck the fascists. We fought the British over less tyrannical shit than what Trump is promising.
Their explanation sounds like ad hoc BS.
I love Andrew Bird

This?
Edit: I really like Willie Nice Christmas
Excellent pick!
I initially had a negative reaction, but it's grown on me. I've listened to it 3 times and have added it to my christmas playlist.
Spending a little extra money on a more expensive brand of something you really like can be worth it.
It's often not worth it to do the "right thing" and save money by buyinh a generic or off-brand item you'll end up not being happy with. Assuming you can afford the cost, the disappointment of eating off-brand cereal that tastes like paper, factory-farmed eggs, or wearing discount clothes that are cheap and look bad or have an odd fit just isn’t worth it.
Can you recommend any particular model?
What else there is will vary greatly depending on the geologic context of the hot spring. Along with water vapor there can be gasses such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, helium, radium, argon, methane, and I'm sure many other things.
What are some good new Christmas songs released in the past 5 years or so?
By new I mean original songs, not covers of older standards.
Best one yet
What the hell even is a Nittany Lion?
X screenshot that says "Oh my god did you see the latest poll? Pennsylvania is within the marg-"
You bolt awake. The year is 1656. You summon a servant, sure of what must be done. You are Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. And William Penn must die.
4 AM: Sleep or Make the Most of It?
If you are awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7, should you even try to get back to sleep or should you try to do something with your time?
What is it that you do to fight off the Sunday scaries?
Self care? Chores? Try and fix every problem with your life before you have to go back in less than 24 hours to the job you hate?
Does Betelgeuse have a companion star?
New analysis of Betelgeuse’s brightness variations and other data points to a small, close companion for this giant star.
He could care less as long as someone'll bleed

What a lucky crab
A screenshot of a Smithsonian post. There is a picture of a fossil crab partially extracted from the surrounding rock. 2 little barnacles on its shell are also fossilized. The text says: This crab has never had to log into outlook at 8 am on a Monday morning. Crabs and other fossils are often found at the center of hardened spheres of rock known as concretions.
It probably won't end well
I have struggled with depression and anxiety all of my life. I've had the feeling that things were going to end with crushing dissapoinment and tears. I have been able to get past that and stumble through life because there has always been some goal to reach toward. Finishing high school, college, moving out of parents, finding a significant other, getting a good job, etc.
There was always an underlying assumption that once x happens my real life will begin, and I will rise above my hang-ups. If I'm being honest that has been true sometimes, but in many important ways it hasn't happened. I am still full of anxiety, self-doubt, self-loathing, laziness, immaturity, shyness, an inability to focus or pay attention to details, and more. I can't keep up, time moves too fast.
I've made it far enough in life that I do have an ok job but with every year it becomes clear that I am not respected and my work and opinions are not valued. I have a partner who in many ways improved my life. But aft
