Oh god, something’s gone terribly wrong in my life. I just got served an ad for a human sized dog bed.

@inthehands the one that really freaks me out: in a lot of those cars, opening the back door if the power is out is basically impossible. What if your kid is in the back of the car? How are you getting them out?

@piku @skinnylatte

Hahaha honestly I’m the wrong kind of white person but I’m like pro pickle and dill?

@skinnylatte why…I honestly have no words. What.

Streaming services should have an algorithm that’s like “ok so you’re old and you like this song from the 90s, here are some songs written in the last 10 years you might also like”

@skinnylatte a bit horrifying to realize how much of what I now consider “fun” is just whatever I can do that allows me not to be my kids main source of entertainment for 10 minutes.

@skinnylatte haha fair. It’s far from us so kind of a treat. The kids really like the bridge.

Man I hope Lurie can make good on his promises to fix the permit nonsense.

@skinnylatte I do love the matcha ice cream. And also the weird arcade of grabber things haha. But I mostly go for the vibes.

@skinnylatte the only other mall that’s at all fun is…Japan town 🤔

@skinnylatte @justin lol I’ll have to try this

@msmelo haha I mean I have definitely done this. And honestly it makes more sense to me that this is going on at a massive scale than the idea that everyone else’s is actually working.

@justin 🤣🤣 this is the correct approach!

I truly believe there is not a person on this earth less successful at Bluetooth headphones than I

@skinnylatte im going to have to experience this. My poor American brain is so confused at the idea of noodles for breakfast 😂

Maybe it’s also my Italian heritage that just cannot accept this reversal of noodle times.

@skinnylatte haha well so much of American food is just objectively too big and too sweet. But I can’t say no to a great pain au raisins or almond croissant.

How do savory western breakfasts go over? Bacon and eggs, hash browns and the like?

It’s too much food for me in the morning, but I feel like noodles would be too.

@skinnylatte it’s funny that there aren’t breakfast foods, but there are definite not-breakfast foods (sweets).

I have to admit I love a day that starts with a great pastry. Especially since admittedly most of my days just start with coffee.

@skinnylatte there’s a particular pain to it too having grown up here before the tech boom when we DID have good food. Ugh.

“His most recent LinkedIn update reveals that he was recently banned from the dating website OKCupid.”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely devastating last sentence in an article about San Francisco’s head of a Republican org and asshole impersonating ICE in a taqueria to scare people.

@skinnylatte are you gonna take them whale watching?!

@mekkaokereke I always imagine these guys coming up to strangers in a bar just having a conversation and yelling some of their nonsense at them.

Of course the people would be totally free to leave the bar, but they probably wouldn’t have to. Some big dude being paid to remove problems would come and remove the problem. Bodily, if need be.

But maybe these guys have never really gone out in the world to know that.
