Haven't been on here much lately and my attitude has improved a lot. But I'm back now, so it's a hot tub and a sharp razor in the next twenty minutes for sure.

Cutest me is the one who pretends he’s nonchalant about when packages will arrive at his home. Cute me will say, “I think it should come this week?,” & do a puppy tilt of the head, while simultaneously getting vast quantities of locational data about the package directly fed to his neural link.

It may be time to start pronouncing Kroger to rhyme with "Roger" As in you're not "going Krogering" You're getting "Krogered" www.cbsnews.com/news/krogers...

For when you accidentally bite down on the wrong tooth

There's a chance this turned into a real "Who's On First" situation but the article is pay walled so we'll never know.

Among the many pieces of information I wish hadn't come to know is how easy it is to destroy all life on a planet just by throwing a rock at it. Because that means the Empire was tech savvy enough to build the Death Star but not smart enough to just put rocket motors on asteroids.

I know that fast food burger on the commercial doesn't look anything like that IRL, but seeing someone bite into one still makes me hungry.

It's electric sheep, isn't it?

Man, I tend to forget that the 1970s gave us such an eclectic array of choices when it came to music. This explains why all the money from my job as a busboy went to albums and pinball.

So... we're rooting FOR the Predator now? I mean, I'm all the way in. I'm just worried the franchise might enter the Freddy death spiral if we aren't careful.

A guy who douses himself in Axe Body Spray doesn't think he's wearing "strong cologne" he thinks he smells good and his presence is a gift to all around him. But good luck with that. www.nj.com/food/2025/04...

The Three Types of Songs: 1. I want your love 2. You broke my heart 3. Blinded by something (the light, science, etc.)

It was always the risk of the Patriot Act that a given administration could unilaterally declare anyone they wanted a terrorist and ship them to unlimited detention with no rights. The seeds for the crisis were planted decades ago. We’re just finally now reaping what we sowed.

No, they embody it. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

i think jk rowling always assumed poverty was causing her inability to experience joy but then she got rich and a new culprit was required

if we replaced the entire Democratic Party with about 40 people who have ever had a real job we would have a better shot at keeping the right wing from destroying the country

from what ive read, a car with a rotary engine is and always will be "almost ready"

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Intuit charges big bucks just for ordinary people to pay their taxes. At the same time, they are doing everything they can to sabotage Direct File, the IRS’ free, easy, and popular tax filing tool. It’s a scam, and I'm not letting them get away with it.

This meeting could have been a CVS receipt slowly grinding through a paper shredder

There are a couple “classic car” and “classic motorcycle” accounts here that post scraped photos on an automated schedule without crediting the source. My car/bike nerd friends, don’t support this sort of content theft. There are reputable accounts posting their own (or properly credited) work.

I really want to know: When federal Dem politicians go to work every day, what are they doing? Like, what do they actually do? I know what they're NOT doing.

yes rowling is a hateful shitbag but the main reason i'm not going to watch the new harry potter series is that i'm an adult

If I were Buffy, I would hang around the ballpark and just grab up all the handles from the broken bats. Perfect stakes with a great hand.

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

has anybody checked in on the right wing guys who were mad that zelensky didn't wear a tie to the white house

Sure seems like dem presidents had a lot more power than they said they did, and mostly used what they did of that power by spending 25 years building the carceral infrastructure needed for fascism

The median American will never be illegally deported by ICE and left to die in a torture prison in defiance of a Supreme Court order, so it’s hard to see how any of this is a winning issue for Democrats. by Matt Yglesias

damocles, dude, you absolutely cannot put your sword there. come on man

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

it's important for a horror game to have a dark hole, and sometimes you should have to go down it but before that you should have to see the dark hole and know, in your primal undermind, that you *will* have to go down it. that the dark hole cannot be avoided. that you have to contend with fear.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

We need many more people like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in office. She continues delivering truth.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Col. Susannah Meyers failed to make Greenland safe for colonial photo-ops for the vice-president and his wife. How can we trust her to make Greenland a safe space for other people with tender feelings? by Michael Walz

Weird how they keep saying they can barely afford to make any TV shows or movies and then this keeps happening. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

In high school my teachers demanded we turn in our rough drafts with our finished draft so I would write a paper and then I would spend five minutes making a shittier version of the paper and tell my teacher that was the rough draft

in the old days you owned like 20 movies and you watched those bitches like 700 times each

This meeting could have been a CVS receipt slowly being ground up by a shredder.

Anything can be a bib if you're careless enough.

If BI isn't making these stupid stories up then they must solely focus on badly run nightmare companies where employees are treated as disposable waste products. www.businessinsider.com/employee-mov...

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

The disconnect between the fans and Lucas is probably that he viewed the thing as a silly mock of the old Republic serials where "Somehow Palpatine returned" would have been perfectly acceptable and the fans turned his fun, goofy story into a religion.

i think having to wait until a set time of 8 pm on a thursday to watch a tv show is good for us. instant gratification has broken many, many brains, it's healthy to have to wait just a little bit

America just did a Brexit, didn't it.

i should be in charge of the marvel movies. i will cast mark rylance, jared harris, mark strong, paul dano, and paul giamatti as the avengers. their headquarters are the municipal planning office of a midsize american city. the supervillain they defeat will be various challenges to zoning reform
