Sometimes, it's even worth reading!

So Elon is renaming Twitter to X. X.com. Elon loves bad puns and jokes, like truly horrid and not good-bad. Elon is obsessed with going to space and getting the fuck away from Earth. Xcom. Elon is an alien stranded on Earth willing to burn it to get the fuck away from us.

And the crazy thing about John Wick 4? There literally was no need for ANY of that. Because as we all know, the two most satisfying things you can expect to see in an action movie are a) Donnie Yen beating the shit out of somebody and b) somebody beating the shit out of Keanu Reeves, and if these people wanted a 95% on rotten tomatoes all they had to do was to ready the cameras, set the two men loose on each other, and let nature take its course; but instead they said "you know what would be even better? What if they were gay divorced" and that's why they are the greatest action franchise of our generation and the next

being uncomfortable becomes easier when you realize that’s literally the point. it’s like working out. if you work out & it becomes easy for you, you already got all you could out of that workout. your body adjusted & is strong enough to handle it now. you’re not improving anymore. that’s why you up the ante with harder workouts, where you’re uncomfortable & not quite strong enough yet. bc eventually you will be strong enough. but if it’s not a challenge, there’s no gain. & that’s exactly how it is with situations out of your comfort zone. the more you put yourself in them, the easier they get—but that in-between phase where you’re struggling is still completely valid and ok and natural. it’s what’s supposed to happen. it’s what’s going to change you as a person. and you should keep doing it

Some tags I found in notes that I feel are a very, very important caveat

The thing about depression is that motivation is rare, so when it comes around you gotta ride it reverse cowgirl, bouncing up and down moaning and howling until it shoots a two weeks pent up load right up your stretched out hole and finally you have a clean room but it's 2 am on a weeknight.
