The people complaining about bureaucrats are introducing the dumbest, least efficient bureaucracy. I know this is actually a dumb excuse to get a performance-based firing to stick, but this is the kind of brainless paperwork no one really does and is instead a joke about bad bureaucracies.

The obvious team up is Star-Lord and the Guardians or maybe Nova, but I'm going to swerve and say Lila Cheney, who gets tangled in Sardath's Zeta-Beam experiments. The lingering effect destabilizes Lila's powers and she and Adam bounce around the universe.

I legitimately think part of the problem is that we flooded our culture with anti-hero stories as people decided those were just heroes.

(I recognize the irony of mocking Trump with a gif of Rob Schneider, but the context of the scene stands)

Every editor/producer note on "believability" can go kick rocks.

The giveaway is the term "wellness" which is a useless term. "Health" is a legally enforceable claim that means certain things. If someone is offering "wellness" it's because they can offer you nothing and not be considered a fraud for it.

There is no clearer example of @kenwhite.bsky.social's Rule of Goats than these motherfuckers. I'm fairly certain they're sincere in their Nazi ideology, but even if they're just "triggering the libs" they're still goat-fucking Nazis.

This is so satisfying (except for how much the kernels are being flung away).

This is so stupid. If you're using "Joruus" that's the clone's name. It's like naming your kid "Luuke." Your kid isn't a clone!

Hey, I think I have a way to save the US half a billion bucks a year.

Yeah. Maybe it's still the case that villains don't see themselves as villains, but that doesn't mean they have a point or that the way they are not the villain is comprehensible to anyone who is not an abject sociopath.

What if they were in the majority? It'd be a bunch of hearings, probably hearings that people wouldn't show up to. And if they did? What are they going to do? Recommend something to the Justice Department?

I trained my dog to react to hip hop. It's what I play when getting ready on the weekends, so my dog thinks of it as "we're going to the park soon!" So now, when I play it while working, she comes into the office wagging her tail, excited but not really knowing why.

The only way I'll use "Gulf of America" is set to the tune of "This is America." "Gulf of America Look how we're spillin' oil. Fuckin' up shrimpin' now."

The narrative in the last election was that despite being normal and expressing the views of the average voter, people saw Democrats as the annoying, extremely online caricature in their heads. And voted for Republicans they saw as normal despite expressing views of extremely online caricatures.

"Uber for Henchmen" is a Venture Brothers joke, surely.

Everyone still employed in government needs to print out a copy of this and wave it the face of the sniveling teenager next time they ask "Do I need to call Elon?"

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

happy presidents day

Parody cannot keep up with how stupid reality is.

Once you get rid of the "culture war*" stuff, we're all just reasonably haggling over marginal tax rates and robustness of our foreign policy. *bigotry

*silently counting out fourteen-ish months*

Seems like a corollary to the Stringer Bell rule is don't propose a criminal conspiracy when someone is taking notes. Also don't confiscate those notes.

Got a text reminder from my pharmacy to pick up some meds. In today's climate, saying "I have 5 days left" to pick them up sounds way more final than the automated CVS messenger system probably intends.

If Mitch really wanted to do the right thing, he'd step down and insist Governor Beshear fill his seat with a Democrat.

Being on social media these days is almost *exactly* like that scene in IT Chapter 1 where the slide show has Pennywise getting progressively closer and creepier and the kids can't turn it off or escape.

Just imagine what the Captain America "Secret Empire" storyline from 1974 would be like today, with all the so-much-worse-than-Watergate stuff happening now.
