Fuck Twitter and Instagram. Welcome to Hemittergram!
This will be my place to put my bitter and funny things, my amazing thoughts, and my incredible word usements.
Instead of posting tweets here, I will drop droppings.

LOL, I can't tell if Gemini is simply telling me what I want to hear, or if it really thinks so ...

This is such an important subject, and this is a well presented and thoughtful video, with an engaging speaker, so of course the only thing I noticed throughout is that Carissa seems to have two pairs of canines.

An example of effective use of simile in literature.
The literature we will be using for our example today will be this passage from an episode of Family Guy. In it, Peter finds himself in Hell and bumps into Superman playing cards. "What are YOU doing in here?!" says Peter and Superman replies,
"Ah, I killed a hooker. She made a crack about me being faster than a speeding bullet so I ripped her in half like a phone book."

You could play a little game with this 2-minute video where you watch it and try not to laugh.

Le puzzle
Une femme âgée, seule, fait un puzzle dans son salon. Dehors, c'est la nuit. Au fur et à mesure qu'elle assemble les pièces, une impression étrange la saisit : elle reconnaît peu à peu dans son puzzle le décor de son salon, puis sa télévision, puis soi-même vue de face !!!
De plus en plus bouleversée, elle continue. Les dernières pièces du puzzle qu'elle assemble sont celles de la fenêtre derrière elle.
Et la toute dernière pièce du coin de la fenêtre montre ...
...le visage terrifiant d'un homme qui la regarde.

This framed 'motivationol' poster on the wall at my (french) gym today:
motivationol
advocoting
vigolous
sossions
... and no spaces after the commas
With all the tech and AI available these days, is it really so fucking hard to get these words right?!

The Times They Are A-Changin’
Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen, please, heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please, get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

It's a new year and what a biggie it's gonna be. I know I'm being mysterious - all I can say is that I have a funny feeling that 2026 will be my best year of the last twenty.

This one was unusually on-point:
- "Can i trade you ketchup for all-dressed?" and then singing the Sleep Country Canada song.
- I'll come join you on the chesterfield. (plus she was holding a Pathways social studies book)
- How much do you weigh ... in kilograms.

There's something about this image (attributed to the link below) that I find so beautiful. It shows not just wisdom and experience and a long life well-lived, but also showcases the tenaciousness and adaptability of the human body.
So many images of the aged evoke in me a certain sadness and depression (and a feeling of impending doom); I'm surprised that I see this so positively.
