the single cybertruck spotted in our city just drove right next to us while we were walking the dogs and we all had this face trying not to point and laugh

the other day i walked around the golden lake w my love and the sun was setting hot and orange and we watched a brown duck preening through the weeds, ducking her head under the dark water. the cool lake swallowed up my tired feet to the ankles and we counted the dog walkers with their curly panting doodles and their handsome german shepherds and their whip smart little terriers and we admired the careful construction of a sand castle whose moat held determinedly against the lapping of the waves. we could feel in our chests the persistent thunderous thumping of celebratory music at the finish line of the lakeside 5k, welcoming each gasping runner across its bounds. and i felt like crying. i felt like curling into myself and crying. we walked through the swamp of the bird sanctuary afterwards and listened to the woods sing and croak and groan and then we went and got ube and yuzu gelato and devoured it suntired and sweating on the couch in our living room. and i was so overcome w a deep and true unshakeable happiness and a sort of confused grief that i wanted to sob and sob and sob.

Hey y'all! I have a question that (judging by how my mom reacted when I asked) is going to sound like a joke, but I am genuinely asking because I really don't know what's funny about it and I would like to
So the other day at work a contractor called me, asked one question I could (and did) answer, and then spent 10 minutes complaining about his phone, insisting it was a problem on our company's end. The problem is his phone not dinging to alert him when he gets emails from us, and after I gently tried explaining a couple times that the issue is on his end, not mine, he just kept getting angrier and insisting that is was not on his end. I finally said "I'm sorry, I can't fix that. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
He said, angrily "Well there's no need to be sassy about it" and hung up on me
And like, I get that it's funny he hung up on me after calling me sassy of all things (far from the worst thing I've been called at work) but both my boss and my mom separately seem to think my response is funny??? I thought I was just being professional! Am I missing something?

something i actually love about the young justice tv show is that every season has a time skip and the writers are like “okay??? just figure it out”
like season 1 to 2 time skip where they don’t tell you that there’s a time skip but robin looks different and you’re like ok. i know there are multiple robins, perhaps this is jason and NOPE!!!! tim. they don’t explain this and you’re like ok whatever and then you find out later that jasons robin died, not unexpected if you know the lore but this is untouched by the narrative and also unexplained. did he die differently from the comics? everyone knows about him but they don’t say anything (until season 4 when they say his name but not his role/identity on the team). and then season 2 to 3 time skip and there are more bats and you’re like oh hello. nice to see you. no explanation they are simply there now.
also season 2 to 3 time skip and there are 3 different roy harpers. you know about 2 of them and then there is inexplicably a 3rd roy harper but again we’re not gonna talk about that, that’s just jim. he looks like the oldest but is actually the youngest. FIGURE IT OUT!!!! love it
