I can’t be trusted with dry clean only clothes because I start saying stuff like “did you know that wool is naturally odour resistant”

every time I see a picture of Justin Bieber I am chilled to the bone by how much he looks like my brother and how likely it is that we’re related

the people who invented aluminum free “deodorant” unleashed a scourge upon this earth

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

being a teacher is so thankless dude. I just walked by a kid who was saying she didn’t like her homeroom teacher because he “takes too many bites to finish his lunch”

the best thing about "AI" is that it should never work at all and yet it works sometimes. but because i'm constantly being told that it works perfectly, my reaction when it works only occasionally is "damn, this thing sucks" instead of "holy shit this is incredible"

Imagine if diamonds really were your best friend, how sad. Imagine if it really was raining men, how terrible. I think songs are just awful

which one of you is responsible for this

been eating a lot of cinnamon toast lately

I don’t particularly care for this pick but non-linguist reactions make it all worth it

there are two separate guys in my mentions insisting that the phrases “that sucks” and “fuck that” are explicit threats of sexual violence, can’t believe I ever thought this site didn’t have sufficiently wild takes

the other day I was reading this critically acclaimed and influential sci fi book and the main character, a personable fellow who was in no way intended to be morally grey, had a fun futuristic spin on the phrase “fuck ‘em.” namely: “rape ‘em.” and I didn’t really like that!

I watched so much house md at such a formative age that now when I see hugh laurie in something and he’s not limping i’m like “how are you doing that”

WaPo posted a brutal takedown of the awful digital blackface meta AI profile. when you click on the comment section this is the first thing that comes up lmao

If you don’t know what this case is: Woman gets restraining order against violent ex. He violates it. She calls cops. They don’t come by. Repeat several times. Eventually, he murders her and daughters. Family sues cops, said had obligation to respond and failed. SCOTUS? “Nah, no obligation.”

the San Antonio missions are so funny because the new signs are like “the native peoples lived in poorer conditions than the friars. how does privilege work in your community?” and the old ones are like “the friars generously spread the Word of Christ to the heathen savages”

i’m in texas with my family right now because my mom “wanted to go to america one last time, before it’s too late”

I went to an nba game and I understand why you guys like sports now. The balding guy on the spurs is actually my best friend
