Why is everyone with “a bad cold that isn’t contagious and definitely isn’t COVID” required to be on a plane?

Sometimes I fantasize about being able to afford giving up

If you voted for someone who is about to cut Medicaid you and I are no longer on speaking terms.

My favorite things to do are things that make people stop me and go “hey you don’t HAVE to do that” and then I’m like, “but I LIKE doing that” and then the person makes a face as if to say, “I don’t believe you” and then they are stuck condescendingly frowning at me like a dork while I have fun

I don't have any other requests for my eventual memorial service, but when that fateful day comes, please have someone read a list of all the podcasts that promised to have me on as a guest someday but never got around to inviting me

Every time to share an AI video “just to show how good it’s getting” you are also showing how bad social media is getting

I don't like spoilers but I'd have appreciated knowing that the first 20 or so jokes in Friendship are about making light of someone being a cancer survivor, and that it's the primary joke of the movie. I spent the next hour trying to forget how low the stakes were. Everyone I know loves it tho. 🤷

It feels ridiculous to go after Biden for not being fit to run for re-election last year when our current president is a literal tumor

I don’t like Biden but my feed is mostly people celebrating cancer and it’s a bit much.

Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

Very interesting to see the game industry talk about this phenomenon as 'deprofessionalisation'. Definitely more visible now in the wake of all the layoffs, but really this has been unfolding for 15+ years now as both platformisation and gigification. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-de...

I can’t hear anyone over the music, I’m gonna head out ™️

Sometimes I think about going back to school to get a degree in understanding the basics of the fortnite tournament system

If y’all like content, you’d LOVE when an entire crew of people are paid a living wage to make it, as opposed to one poor person crying in their studio apartment between TikToks.

The shitty pun doesn’t even work unless you mispronounce Qatar. The Usual Gang of Idiots that edited MAD Magazine wouldn’t even publish this garbage in a margin joke.

I should not have this desire to log into Cyberpunk 2077 so I can roleplay a character that feels more safe

I am trying to imagine being able to afford a Nintendo Switch 2 during The Great Depression 2

The Democrat “how dare you” strategy is feeling a little too 1930’s Europe for me

UGH! I spent all week thinking about something I wanted to dump on my therapist and when I showed up I forgot and worked on myself instead. The worst!

Every governor should be doing this. Right now.

Remember when you didn’t spend 8 hours a day dumbing things down for people who hate you?

Today's frustrating math: This year I will pay off both my student loans and my car. I owe about $2800 on each. Until then those bills will be a total of about $950 a month. I have not made enough income to match my budget in over a year. I will be happy in 6 months, but fuuuuuuuudge- come on

“Now we’re cooking with gas!” -People who have a creepy relationship with gas

Still thinking about how perfect the ending of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny was. The beginning of the movie is meh but the last Act is a straight-up narrative miracle.

Are any non-writers who enjoy essays, books, and scripts worried about how our industry was permanently and deliberately destroyed by shitty AI bots? Because all we see are people giggling about cute uses for ChatGPT. Anyway back to re-applying for barista jobs while staring at my Emmy.

It was a lot easier to be ambitious when ambition didn’t include surviving

The fact that Natasha Lyonne founded an AI animation and film company and is making and starring in the movies is so incredibly disappointing and depressing.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

I’m still hearing that I lost work because I talked shit about Louis CK on Twitter in 2018, and separately I am still being told I need to forgive him for what he did to those women and just move on. But I feel like the two things are related somehow.

Intersex people are a real biological thing. Wait until you discover your siblings and spouses have chromosomes that don’t correspond with their sex at birth, then we’ll see how far you’re willing to take this transphobic bathroom and sports horseshit.

For the last 3 years I’ve been trying to change my middle name legally. The fact that it’s become impossible is ridiculous. It’s a middle name. Nobody cares about middle names except the person who has it and nosy landlords.

just a heads up— when you start shitting on a movie/show/game/novel/anything and you have not checked in to see if the person you’re talking to LIKES that thing? there is a high probability that they are instantly looking for a way to flee the conversation. so you can go ahead and not do that.

So… we’re REALLY gonna keep doing this pope thing?

I feel bad that Tesla owners are so nervous they’re removing their logos, but at least all it takes is a wet paper towel

Go see The Ballad of Wallis Island, and if you don’t like it keep it to yourself

The funny people you follow on text-based social media aren’t interested in your joke criticism or your joke punch-up ideas. If you feel a need to compulsively reply to other people’s jokes, please focus on recipes or crafts projects based on the joke premise.

my career space is smoldering ashes but hey I can be Marceline the Vampire Queen in Fortnite while descending upon my prey on my terrifying wraith wings while Nirvana's Breed plays so at least I can dream with my eyes open

A Christmas Carol in Los Angeles where Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of all the minor celebrities he liked on dating apps

After the election, every dating app bio I saw had devolved into different versions of “fuck you for reading this you evil shitbag” and frankly I think the age of dating apps MAY have come and gone

Gotta love spending a whole day trying to manage something unmanageable and looking up and 18 hours have passed. Supposedly people out there have normal lives, and it sounds WILD

It cracks me up that superheroes still wear 1930’s wrestler costumes. 1930’s wrestlers must feel so validated though!

the only upside to dating in LA is going on apps and repeatedly witnessing the comedy of: insensitive conservative creep profile *appears on reality TV show* holistic progressive life coach profile
