The mad lads did it!
Somewhere between 6:13 and 6:15pm.
“Shave & A Haircut” honk, perhaps?

A Doritos ad!
So you can drift asleep thinking - “Boy, do I feel refreshed!”

Make sure you put some OIL aside for the future.
“What… you mean like salad oil?”
And my work here is done, I am OUTTA HERE!
“Wait! Did you mean like olive or peanut oil or…?”
(crickets(forever))

Many years ago, my family had a few small off-road motorcycles, we’d go explore the countryside near and around my city, in northern Mexico.

One time we were looking to cross a usually tame little creek made very wide by recent rains, my dad saw a possible spot to cross but there was a patch of muddy sand to deal with first…

…suddenly we hear my dad terror-screaming - “HELP! I’m sinking in quicksand!”

And sink he did! All the way up to his knees. That’s as deep as the spot got. Turning dad’s bike around and pulling it out of that sticky muck was a bitch and a half, though.

as shipping insurer Lloyds of London notes, the number of incidents is so unexceptional that premiums for voyages within the Triangle are the same as anywhere else in the world

This right here is literally The Money Quote.
Follow the money!

What about Lake Superior and Michigan!
Are premiums also the same?
Because the Great Lakes also pop up in these narratives.

Ooh, a double slit! Do like the ol’ photon or electron interfering with itself, both slits at the same time.

I hate Istanbul. You know why?
Because it’s too far away from me!

I mean… here I am, willing, able,
rearing to go, locked and loaded
so to speak… and there it is…
it decided to plop down its’ rear,
its’ fat lazy ass, on the opposite,
far side of the freakin’ world.

I mean… the nerve of this city!
What does it want from me, to
remain as far away as possible?
Well I’ll tell ya, it’s succeeding,
and doing a bang up job at it, too!

EDIT: that goes for you, too, Tokyo!

I feel you, man. Any image that I don’t remember seeing before 2022 gets an asterisk from me, and I hate having to do that.
And even then, before AI there were two decades of Photoshop, but the current stream of synthetic tripe is like a fireman’s hose, and now even with videos.

Avocado toast! And how would you like your eggs on top?
The guy looks at you as if why do you even need to ask?
Poached, of course! Transmitted by a duh stare, telepathic.

EDIT: The plate is served, and the hipster stares at you again,
through thin-rim glasses and delicately groomed mustache.
You forgot the asparagus spears!

Banking and government office hours!

China’s cheating, it’s all crammed forcefully into one timezone, Beijing’s!
In far western China in winter, it could be noon and the sun is barely rising over the horizon. Then in summer the sunset might be at around 1am.

A court system packed with right-leaning and downright right-wing judges, rammed in there by hook and by crook with “party over country” appointees.
Remember Merrick Garland? A name made meaningless by the non-voting masses in 2016 and unbelievably, again in 2024. Every time the republicans dared risk themselves by cheating while either packing or blocking the court system, the dire consequences they were dealt was… re-election. Nothing happened! They were REWARDED for their CHEATING!

What is WRONG with these non-voting people?!!
Unable to see cause and effect. No memory. Just fucking blank. And memes. Sleepy Joe and shit. bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe

Sometimes the radar weather in some areas will glitch out, I’ve seen a large swath of digital dots spread like a fan all over some cities. The image refreshes every couple of minutes, I believe, usually the glitch goes away after a couple of cycles.

But what is glitching and why, I have no idea.

I’ll take the XL Pancit Canton, please.

TWO MAN LUGE!
TWO MAN LUGE!
Two men enter, two men leave…
the Two Man Luge closet

Hippie Speedball makes a cameo!

Make that 5pm over here, closer to the eastern edge of the time zone.

It’s a GATO Truck!

I watch a lot of science channels and videos on YouTube, there’s just so much extraordinary content out there, going deep into the math and formulas of cosmology and physics.

Sooner rather than later, the algorithm started pushing this woman’s videos on my homescreen. She most definitely leans towards the clickbait titles and bombastic controversy, two things that I hate, so it was again time to take out the digital machete and hack away at the algorithm, as I do nearly every day. But then she just keeps on popping up in other people’s videos and podcasts, some trustworthy content creators seem to have a high regard for her academic work.

But just like assholes like James Woods or Joe Rogan have made themselves unbearable for me, even retroactively, just their presence and voice take me out of whatever I’m watching, put me in a bad mood, so too it is with Hossenfelder. In an age of the digital smorgasbord, a never-ending stream of science and math educational content of a high level and mind-blowing quality, I can survive and thrive just fine while avoiding the assholes.
