blackberry Dr Pepper is weird. I'm not sure i like it OR dislike it, but it's got a vague purple soda aftertaste I'm getting hours later?!

I'm not big on Dr Pepper in general (it's a Sometimes drink, best from a fountain), so I'm not sure if that ambivalence is stronger than the blackberry flavor.

My dad died four years ago tomorrow, and I still blame the anti-science, anti-vax, anti-mask champions who crusaded for "freedom".

Multifarious

having many different parts; numerous and varied

@parliapics.bsky.social

Word of the day: "Mul-tuh-FAIR-ee-us."

If something is multifarious (adjective), it basically has more variety than a buffet at 2 a.m. It’s a formal way of saying “wow, that’s a lot of different stuff.”
