Civil War Standup

I’ve been thinkin’ about this Tiktok since I saw it yesterday:

It got me curious about whether “right to bear arms” includes grenades and after some research I realized it’s illegal to kill people with any kind of weapon anyways so like. I don’t think that matters here.

By the way— from what I understand from a very brief search, no, grenades cannot be carried because they wouldn’t be carried for self defense, aren’t in common use, and qualify as a “dangerous and unusual weapon”. It should be noted that the same does not apply to AR-15s. This is incredibly arbitrary and seemingly vibe-based.

Unrelated but it’s messed up that the Blogger app won’t let you upload videos for free but if you just switch to your browser it’s like Oh Okay :)

Things I Liked In April 2026

We are so back with another list of things I liked this month, this time featuring a spinner! The idea is, you spin the spinner and are presented with a link to something I enjoyed. Kill some time, check out some neat stuff. Everything has a link associated with it, so grab your board and get read to surf the web! Don't worry, I made sure they're not linking to any bullshit virus littered websites. The act of turning your joy into a list you're going to share with people really makes you think about how you spend your time.

Is this really how I want to spend my time?" Also, I'd go to put something on the list and stop to think "did I really engage fully with this? If my friend checks it out from my blog post and comes back with a conversation, will I be able to...

Something about Dune (1984). Or something.

I'm 17 and I'm lying on the least comfortable couch in our house. It's firm and scratchy a nd not as long as I am tall , b ut it i s the couch at the foot of the bed my dad is dying in. I haven't slept. I'm up on my phone, my brightness down , t rying not to wake my mom. Her alarm goes off intermittently throughout the night s o she can check on my dad's oxygen levels. I don't think she sleeps more than half an hour at a time. M y sister is in her bedroom above us. Hours before we had a conversation d eciding if we wanted to be in the house when he died. She planned to leave for our aunt's house in the morning. M y phone. I'm reading a story online that someone wrote. I don't remember the details or where I could find it today. It's a h orror s tory set in a hospital. I'm new to the horror genre. I always thought I couldn't handle it b ut as I sat there working my way through the story, I...
