An unexpected but unsurprising consequence of the isolation I experienced during the pandemic lockdowns is that whenever I find myself alone for extended periods I revert to this habit of talking to myself. It's become one of those unfunny things that you just laugh off.

Was I the only one who grew up so confused because the Disney logo looked like it was spelled with a 'p' at the end instead of a 'y'? #Disnep

Earlier today I found someone selling a Jar Jar Binks mug on marketplace. After a cursory search I found a few versions of Jar Jar mugs but no Jar Jar cookie jars—like, mm, Jar Jar jars.

Guy has posted around seven knives that are his "everyday carry" so I'm assuming he's walking around with seven knives everywhere he goes.

Da best talaga kapag gutom na gutom ka na pero ang tagal maluto ng kanin—tapos pagtsilip mo sa rice cooker hindi mo pala napindot yung 'cook.'

It's hard to watch Din Djarin because I haven't seen him do anything aside from rely on his armor to shrug off hits. This dependence is so bad that one has to wonder if he's just incapable of battle tactics. Helps to remember that it's Filoni though so I can lower my expectations

Sobrang niche ng tweet na'to pero: Nakakapagod din pakinggan ang mga shunga na nagre-recommend ng Continental Gatorskins for Manila/PH riding. These are dangerously slippery tires in the wet. Bad cycling advice Twitter really needs to shut up at some point.

A couple of months into the zombie apocalypse and your electronic shifting groupset has turned your bike into a single speed. Because obviously it's an e-bike.

Happy birthday, @alanalda. :)
I'm back to thank everyone who's wishing me a happy birthday today. You remind me how much I love birthdays. The more of them the better. Looking forward to a huge pile of them. And I wish the same to all of you.

Sorry 'nay, pero pinangalanan mong WOLF ang anak mo so wala kang masisisi kundi ang sarili mo na medyo wild siya.

Paborito ko talaga yung komunista daw pero nahahassle kasi sarado ang mga retail store nang maaga para makauwi ang mga nagtatrabaho. 🤡

If you start operating on the premise that owning more expensive things, a luxury bag or a better car, somehow make you better than others—you should be ready to accept that you've subscribed to a system where Trump, Musk, Murdoch and even MbS are better than you. 🤡
