I like to think there's a little something for everyone here. There isn't, but I can think what I want.

My wife handed me a clean towel and asked me to “put it in its place.” So, I looked at it and said, “Don’t forget that you’re only a towel,” and I was reminded yet again of just how lucky this woman was to be married to me.

As I scroll through my pictures folder I stumble across THIS again and I can only imagine what it must have been like in the office when someone came up with it. Presumably that person got carried through the streets in celebration afterwards.

leftist police departments like the LAPD

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

not really sure why a piece of 'analysis' hyping up the performance of a party that came third in a Holyrood by-election needs to be pushed to millions of phones across the UK

It's more like 3 in 100 people in the UK depending on how you define it and exactly for which population, as detailed in this study. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

So tired of not having a girlfriend and not being able to discreetly watch her while she applies makeup in front of the mirror as I lean against the door frame until her eyes meet mine, and she asks, “What is it?” and I reply, “Nothing,” and she smiles, continuing to powder her face.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The thing is what if Bruno Fernandes did leave Utd and then improved by a similar amount to Rashford, Sancho, Anthony or McTominay, what if he's been dragged down as much but from a higher starting point.

I'm at the point where I'm just automatically blocking anybody who replies to anything with "and you're surprised by this?" It's such a dumb, shitty way to fake being a world-weary, wise person

Why does this Stereogum article think that Robbie Williams was a member of 5ive instead of Take That? They list FIVE “other” members of 5ive who he brought on-stage at his concert, which should surely clue you into the fact that he is not one of the five members of 5ive?

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!
