In an August 2024 hidden-camera recording, now-OMB Director Russ Vought explained that age verification laws are just pretext to shut down porn sites.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

I’m playing Spades on my phone and how do I keep getting all my tricks while my (computer) teammate gets zero or under their bid?? This is the SIXTH hand!?! Computers can’t bid for shit 😭😭

Thinking of this again, as I continue to meet really interesting people that live a million miles away from me

Guys. GUYYYYYYYS! I got cash from the atm and for the first time in what has to be close to 10 years the money came out properly bank faced. And she wept 🥲

Me, wearily, for the thirty thousandth time: Also they do tsunami alerting for a huge portion of the Pacific Ocean if that's a thing anyone thinks is important.

Sentient Gelatin really seems to resonate with people. This might be the lovable nickname for our followers we've always wanted.

The number of times I held up my computer to show my boss, sitting 150’ away, my bsod and getting that knowing nod before she chatted the person beside me “welp. Coffee run?”

i write like the wind is billowing a long coat out behind me and you can take my dramatic pauses from my cold dead hands

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/Teen...

The ideal car is one that is narrow enough and generates enough lateral Gs so that you can take a highway on or off ramp fast and make your partner lean over so you can give em a lil kiss on the cheek while doing fun shit behind the wheel

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.

EVERYBODY STOP TEMPTING THE THING HIGH ATOP THE THING!! Just shut your mouthes and let them count.

Life is…*gestures* but tomorrow I get to have ice cream cake at my little cousin’s bday party and man oh man am I excited!

Don’t rank Cuomo

Once again reminding people that you can buy road maps vetted for scenery and/or challenge by actual human beings, and they are so much better than even crowd-sourced stuff never mind this nonsense.

Our friend says it is non stop bombing. Israel/USA ordered everyone to evacuate Tehran, but how do 16 million people evacuate a city when all the roads and metros are closed and they bombed the gas supplies? They gave the order and started bombing 30 minutes after
