Regardless of mortality involved: age verification for sites where a credit card (itself a form of age verification) is required is so pointless it's depressing.

They totally ordered it so the Medicare one came out first in hopes it'd soften the blow of every other decision.

It's becoming a trend on the rare times I use Lyft where I'll get assigned a driver with good vibes who's a few minutes away, and JUST as they get close it'll kick the fare over to some person in a less-comfortable car who's "closer" but somehow manages to be slower.

You can't look me in the eye and say that's not cool as hell. Over 20 seasons of an air crash investigation show in a FLIGHT RECORDER PROP are you KIDDING ME?

I don't say this lightly as someone who has worked as a journalist in the space for seven years: This Sounds Serious from Kelly&Kelly is a high water mark for comedy fiction podcasting. Each seasons' gimmick is amazing, the sound design is phenomenal, I need to re-listen soon.

"My Discover feed is bad" I'm sorry, there are people who don't exclusively live in Following and simply keep a tidy enough list that they get a stead feed of new follows vetted by trusted existing follows? Bluesky is built on Android-style DIY responsibility. Discover is iOS behavior.

the honor of a lifetime, sweating in my office and desperately trying to achieve the right degree of horny for a TINGLER!!!! long live chuck, donate to the street vendor fund, LOVE IS REAL

Learning that Jamiroquai exists as a band because a producer tried to de-woke a song Jay Kay sent in as an indie performer really solidifies the spirit of Jamiroquai and makes it make more sense to me.

all the worst people are sad tonight and i just think thats neat

I specifically did not say anything about the election and just went to the gym to be off my phone. Coming back to hear Cuomo conceded is such a wonderful experience.

BING BONG

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday !!!! Here’s my experience driving in 102 degree weather today 🥰

tis the season to repost this

Columbo: y'see, her name was Lola, she was a... [taps the air with a pencil several times, trying to remember] Guy who absolutely killed Lola: a showgirl? Columbo: Yeh, dat's right. With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there.

One of my favorite quirks of language is when someone bilingual is speaking another language at a steady clip in their That Language Accent but then they stumble onto a loan word from their original language and they just say it in their normal accent like they've been ADR dubbed in post.

Currently the joke is "it's so hot when you step outside you just hear" and then slide-guitar blues starts playing, which gets everyone in the comments talking about how they wanna watch Sinners again.

Hey for real why is everyone doing that NYT movie thing did we all forget The Everything They've Done??? Just make your own list stop engaging with that rag

"Gavin why'd you stop using digital heart rate monitors for workouts a few years back?" Because nobody with the infrastructure to (badly) track your vitals is keeping that data for good reasons.

Shoutout to the new Star Trucker patch that basically fixed every problem with the game that stopped me from playing months ago.

It's giving

Huh. Have I unknowingly loved Matchbox 20 this entire time and just never bothered to look up songs heard in passing on CW dramas and radio stations?

It's been a few decades and it feels like most everyone has a pretty well-interrogated opinion about The Beatles. Let's go to the next level: What's the temperature in the room on The Monkees?

I normally don't complain about steelbook art unless it's egriously bad and oofa doofa does the Serenity 20th anniversary 4K fit the bill

Forcing myself to relax tensed muscles after seeing someone on TikTok say they hope the 28 Years Later spinoff movie is "better" because 28 Years Later is "too adulty."

I don't care if it means I'll wake up in like four hours to pee, this ice water is perfectly cold and I'm gonna drink the fuck out of it.

It tickles me that Dairy Queen is plot important to the MCU but in real life they're ENTHUSIASTICALLY on DC's side.
