Have some birbs: [link]
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

the noises they make while playing
I've been annoyed by the noises female characters make in some action cartoons I've been watching. They always make grunts of effort in their fights, but the male characters don't.

Oh, and DJT jr (aka Fredo) just posted screenshots of emails that unambiguously incriminate himself on Twitter.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Wow, birds.

I'm so cynical and disillusioned at this point that I don't actually think that there's anything that's going to bring Trump down...BUT it would the best thing EVER if it was emails that could do it. Irony and schadenfreude all wrapped up in one package.

Using the internet, I have self-diagnosed myself with ennui.
Have we talked about learning that word from the Trixie Belden books? I remember very few things from those books beyond "ennui", saying "rabbit rabbit" on the first day of the month, and Trixie pointing out "last one in, first one out" of the car.
Edit: And also possibly Irish twins.

I do not know this Trixie Belden. I don't remember where I learned about ennui, it is as if I have always known it perhaps in my DNA, and I still find the "rabbit rabbit" thing inexplicable but charming.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I find myself wanting to say "Halp!," which I think was something Trixie's little brother did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't remember those things! I only remember "jalopy."
