everything is very bad in this modern age but i truly think Merlin Bird ID App is a wonder so astonishing that it almost makes everything else worth it. like you can just sit somewhere and listen to birds and 4 minutes later you will know stuff you didn't know before. not only that but you might even retain that knowledge. this morning i sat with my coffee and let Merlin record my surroundings for 4 minutes and now i know 1) what a northern parula sounds like 2) that i have been listening to northern parulas for years without being aware that they even existed. this cheerful little gold-and-gray guy has been trilling at me my whole life and i've never known his name and now i do! you can sit there and hear something and think "that sounds familiar, i'd like to know what that is" and then look down and see the little bird ID light up LIVE. ohhh of course, a red-eyed vireo, how could i have forgotten. AI good actually.

the sad thing about the episode where squidward teaches an art class is that spongebob receives greater recognition despite having no creative vision. his work is technically impressive, but his otherwise powerful imagination fails him, and thus he churns out derivative slop. the thomas kincaid of the sea.

I love it when you can tell that someone's curated favourite film/album/book collection is just whatever is considered niche esoteric good taste at the time of the post

Been watching a lot of videos about bushcraft & domestic crafts and got recommended a channel by a guy with "Anglo Saxon Heritage" in the title. Leave me alone

Went to [REDACTED] with a friend yesterday and bought one of those blunt butterfly knives to practice tricks with. I can finally fulfill my 16 year old self's dreams of doing the funny knife flippa that Spy does in TF2

Was looking for books about lesbian nuns and monastery life in general and found a post recommending a judith butler book -_-
Anyway I found a book called Breaking Silence edited by Nancy Manahan which seems interesting enough. Let's see if I can find it anywhere online.

I think I liked the world a lot better when we couldn't look at all the horrifying acts of depravity people commit in like 3 clicks
#this isn't about war it's about how I keep stumbling upon people talking about like child abusers when I'm looking at a completely unrelated#thread on reddit
