If your WFH desk setup doesn't cost more than a used Honda Civic, you aren't serious about your pipeline.

My ergonomic chair is built from the salvaged suspension of a 2019 Tesla Model S.

My primary monitor is a converted IMAX screen I bought from a bankrupt theater in Oakland.

When I drag a cell in Google Sheets, I physically have to rotate my entire torso. I burn 400 active calories a day just searching for the Slack icon.

Stop complaining about back pain and optimize your environment.

highly recommend owning a cat because it makes dealing with every negative emotion a little bit easier. it's difficult to feel the full weight of crushing reality when a little freak is doing olympic laps around your home after taking a loud shit

Cute🎼

Beautiful essay on adult friendship

[ursula @777ursula]

I’m not sure if I can handle this.

and for the lady, perhaps a deep cleaned house, cancelled plans, a new series to watch, and zero human interaction?

There is something admittedly unsettling about Dollar Tree. There must be a cosmology of Dollar Tree djinns projecting a subtle energetic field because the vibes are melancholic & eerie in each one I go to, no matter what location.

It’s just a very particular energy signature…

This is SUCH an awesome love story. Totally obsessed with them now https://t.co/klezEdbYKW

The first recorded appearance of a cat in Japan is described arriving as an imperial gift, written down on March 11, 889 AD by 22-year-old Emperor Uda on his diary:

This is a “wine window” in Florence, dating back to the mid-16th century, with some still in use today.

Great to see this on X. This is something I created during my PhD time 20 years ago.

My mom and her friend were on vacation in Italy and went looking for a place to have lunch in this small village. They found what looked like a cute little café with a patio and sat down.

This old man comes out, brings them pasta, coffee, juice, everything they ordered, and then just sits down to chat with them.

When they asked for the bill the man looked genuinely confused
Turns out it wasn’t a café. They had walked into some random guy’s private home and asked him to feed them 😭

And he just… did it. Italy I love you.

Did y’all know that Radiohead made this song specifically for this moment?

Netflix has confirmed it will broadcast the live stream of Artemis II globally tomorrow, as it flies by the moon.

This is my favourite photo taken by Artemis II so far.

The Man Who Was Born and Died with Halley’s Comet — Exactly 76 Years Apart

In 1835, as Halley’s Comet blazed across the night sky, a boy named Samuel Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri. That boy would grow up to become one of America’s greatest writers-Mark Twain.

Twain was fascinated by the comet. In 1909, sensing his own end was near, he told a reporter: “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.’”

He was right.

On 20 April 1910, Halley’s Comet made its closest approach to Earth. The very next day, 21 April 1910, Mark Twain died at his home in Redding, Connecticut. He was 74 years old.

The comet that had lit up the sky on the night of his birth returned exactly 76 years later, and Twain left the world within 24 hours of its return, just as he had predicted.

Some people don’t just live under the stars, they bookend their entire life with one, as if the universe decided their entrance and exit deserved the same dramatic lighting.

sandwich party was a success and probably one of the greatest ideas i’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend throwing your own
