Wrong Opinions Only

today on the train home the guy next to me was on his phone and at one point i saw him go on tumblr and he just had like. a normie dash. like it was all photography. of nature and architecture. he was using tumblr the way a heterosexual landscaper for rich people might use instagram. i actually had to watch his screen for a few seconds to be sure it really was tumblr because i was so taken aback by the content he was viewing. this is why algorithmless websites are so beautiful btw because i genuinely didn't know that this side of tumblr even existed. he didn't even so much as scroll past any text posts.

This is like the time I saw a guy on a plane using discord in light mode to talk about golf. I was staring at this man’s phone for far too long to confirm what I was witnessing.

you get it.

I reblog  the money pigeon because I love him.

i reblog him because i want fat stacks

he has had like ten “final movies” and everytime i get sad about it. and then he makes another one. fucking love this guy

I was today years old when I realized "Acronym" stood for "Anyone Can Rationalize Obvious Nonsense You Moron"

I love this post, but I figure I'll use it as a change to do a PSA about this particular irritating brand of folk etymology: as a general rule, acronyms basically didn't exist at all before the 20th century, and even after that it's pretty rare for an acronym to get "de-acronymized" and become an ordinary word that people have forgotten the acronymity(?) of. I'm sure there are a couple more examples, but off the top of my head the only ones I can think of are laser (and derivatives), scuba, and radar. So in general, whenever you see a post of the form "did you know [word] is actually an acronym?", your default assumption should be that it's bullshit.

I don’t want to pile on the person in question, but it’s very funny that they used “fuck means ‘fornication under the consent of the king’” as a counterexample, because that’s like the central iconic example of fake backronyms, to the point where I almost put it in the tags of my post.

What’s the best editing tip you have?

i love antique stores you go to check out & theyre like “where the hell did you get this”

succession was truly a show , brave enough to ask, “what if we gathered some of the greatest living theater actors onto a yacht and had them call each other ‘cromulent fuckcrustables’ while fighting over the fate of fox news?” i miss it every day.
