Finally paid attention to the lyrics of “Even it out” by Fever Ray and I would not want to be a high schooler named Zachariah
An 80s sitcom opening credits where they’re not like “oh, I didn’t see you there 😊” instead they’re variously startled, hopping, and screaming like “ahh, I didn’t see you there 😱😳” (woke up thinking about that (somebody has to have done this))
@vcsjones what does this summon?
@dustin These people are still far too happy :D
That thing where I suddenly remember a feature in Typescript and then stay up late code golfing in a side project when I should have been playing video games
I heard someone call Peter Murphy "90s adult contemporary" and I about lost my mind
@cstross Dilbert Stark! 💀
@socketwench oh boy
The multi-hour sessions of mandatory company training will continue until morale... improves? mutates? transforms into something stranger?

@Catvalente have you had it checked for curses?
This list of required tools to replace a battery on an iPhone 16 prompts two thoughts in me:
1) I want to see this presented in a Wes Anderson style set to jaunty music - where each tool is presented center screen on a colored background with a carefully hand-printed description card positioned below and an earnest narrator intones the name of each item
2) This list feels like a warning, with the intent to warn anyone handy away from dabbling in the dark iPhone arts
Like just imagine Owen Wilson seriously yet adventurously announcing "six-point-one inch repair tray", "adhesive de-bond charge plate", "battery press", "cut-resistant gloves", and so on
That thing where I started the 3D printer making something, but I got distracted and complete forgot I'd done that, but then I remember and voila I have a new thing
@cinebox Yeah, I just keep a box of old cell phone batteries in my car trunk to throw under the tires in case I get stuck in snow or mud
That thing where I cranked the volume up on my music a little while ago because something awesome came on. Then something else awesome came on and I cranked it up more. Then one more awesome thing came on and I realized I can't crank it up any further.
@tankgrrl perfect spokesperson :D
Dang, this song ("4ever" by Bathe Alone) has a mean synth lead. This is one of the tunes that had me blowing out my speakers today
@mwl join in the chant a little for me
