‘Free reign’ or ‘free rein’? ‘Free rein’ is the one that means unrestricted liberty of action or decision. It comes from horseback riding and refers to holding the reins that control the horse loosely so as to allow the horse to freely move along at its own pace/direction.

This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

A ‘snafu’ is a situation marked by errors or confusion. ‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.” Yes, really.

Listen, folks, we can usually give advice to prepare you ahead of time for emergencies. But no one could have predicted 250 MILLION BEES would be loose on a road. So, stay away. Just…. Don’t go anywhere near them.

too many people have been conditioned by corporate social media into believing that if you do something and don’t post about it online, it doesn’t count. you must destroy the Mark Zuckerberg who squats within your head.

So many of the people determined to hate on Taylor Swift no matter what are showing their entire asses today. I got the best laugh, though, out of the person accusing her of writing that letter in a cheaply bought font. It's literally her handwriting, but sure, go off.
