Literally every month for the past 3 months, CVS Caremark has invented another excuse why I need to call them and deal with their janky hotline if I want to continue filling my prescriptions at my local pharmacy. I miss twitter because it was a great way to shame companies for this bullshit.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Bonus Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men “Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

States should be passing laws that make concealing one's identity while dressed as a police officer presumptive probable cause for an arrest for impersonating a police officer.

Anyone driving slower than me is a dumbass and anyone driving faster than me is an asshole

Having a truly, truly miserable customer service experience immiserates everyone involved. You get angrier and more frustrated as you go, and no one you deal with either caused the problem or has the ability to solve it. Once in a blue moon you'll get someone who really fucks up, but it's mostly 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

it appears i have been passed over for knighthood once again just because i’m “not British” and “haven’t accomplished anything” and i “keep calling and asking if i can have a sword”

okay surely things haven't gotten worse since I logged off for the after - *Israel attacking Iran* oh for fuck's sake

ranked choice should have one additional box that just says "no fuckin way" and it counts for negative two votes

Regular reminder that it doesn't have to be like this and you can deactivate AI overviews in your Google searches!

legitimately I do not understand why more billionaires don't fund media passion projects if I had eleventy billion dollars I would absolutely be doing shit like "I will give you people a hundred million bucks to give me a world class KOTOR remake" or funding romcoms based off my fav romance novels

wrote about Ballerina and how a movie doesn't always need a coherent story to be a good time, especially if you can string together a bunch of satisfying and fun action sequences or, to put it another way... briancgrubb.substack.com/p/do-you-nee...

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

Predator: Killer of Killers

The homie Conan

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

What do you think the two companies will be called 🤔🤔

“One of the most sobering takeaways from our study is that anxiety disrupts economic life. These tragic events create ripple effects that reach into everyday decisions, affecting not just mental health but also local businesses and social cohesion.”

every time i meet someone older than me who’s more successful i’m like “okay, well they’re older than me.” every time i meet someone younger and more successful i’m like “their dad must be the mayor”

I am begging Wes Anderson to cast Jason Statham in a movie

oldest teen alive turns 20 at midnight tonight

Itchy eyes from allergies... guess I'll rub them. That couldn't possibly make it worse

[no idea what you are talking about] got it

“God never closes a door without opening a window” does God want me climbing into places through windows? like a cartoon burglar? I’ve got very bad hips and really he should know that

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

elon musk is the first successful D.A.R.E. campaign

i'm a sucker for when they swap out one letter in fantasy books. "on black wings arrived a magpye." hell yeah dude. i know basically what that means but also that it's weird-looking somehow

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

Amazon and Sony have canceled The Wheel of Time. Another streaming service could save it, and we know just the one for the job.

Indianapolis vs. Oklahoma City sounds like a competition to host the 1978 World's Fair

The Knicks' season ends tonight, but if they have to lose, at least they went out playing like complete fucking bitches. Fucking Christ

"People ask chatbots or AI-larded search engines for answers to questions that chatbots inherently cannot understand, receive a confidently phrased but often luridly wrong result, and move on grateful for the convenience and exactly 0% wiser for having done so." defector.com/what-is-sam-...

There’s still an acme on Lancaster Ave but it’s much less cool looking

(pulling up the ladder behind me) This is an opportunity for you to succeed through hard work and determination

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

I have no problem with a robot taking my job as long as it also takes paying my rent

TEEN: But you're, like, really pretty. JORDAN PETERSON: Thank you. TEEN: So you agree. PETERSON: What? TEEN: You think you're really pretty. PETERSON: Oh, I don't know— TEEN: Oh my god, I love your bracelet!
