Oh no, it's Frank Luntz day! The most cursed day for Discourse

Well, good job Alien: Earth. Your finale managed to be stupid in ways that surpassed my expectations while still delivering some enjoyment. Much fewer main character deaths than I expected, they must be very confident in a S2

Did the companies conduct any kind of training on how to use the AI? Does anyone know how to use it properly?

Seriously though, what was with the hat? There isn't some royalty rule that you have to take your hat off in the presence of the King? Do they not teach kids manners in Slovenia?

Reading Yukio Mishimas "fictional" novel about a closeted Japanese gay man. "As a child, I was obsessed with soldiers, fantasized about my own death, and was afraid of women"

Me: "Okay Joe, so buff biker dudes in leather are all gay but also ladies in white makeup and heels are also gay. The only way to be straight is to be totally androgynous" Joe Rogan: "Wow, that makes perfect sense"

The "Insiders worry about the access Jordan Hudson has to Bill Belichick" stories has the same vibe as a Discovery documentary when the parasites on a whale shark are upset when a more superior breed of parasite outwits them and kicks them off the shark.

Thinking about how diversity is great. Once I was at a Vietnamese grocery in Memphis and I saw a Vietnamese man cradling his baby softly singing to it "Frere Jacques" but in Vietnamese. Same store, a lady in line tried to stop me from buying a bag of mung sprouts because they were rotten.

A little bit day drunk after Pride, a local bar was doing $3 pints of Carlsberg. I'm rarely a sad drunk but I'm a melancholy today seeing the diverse crowds of all races and sexualities enjoying life and thinking how the government is trying to destroy this

Hahaha, holy shit there's a Forward Party tent at the Pride festival. I'm shocked to see some boots on the ground for this thing.

This is going to sound a bit callous but "Smithers, I'm afraid Texas A&M is not the bastion of academic freedom we thought they were"

New Wednesday album today, time to get two cans of Pepsi so I can make a bong from one and use the other as an ashtray.

Got my nerd card revoked because I thought "I Shot an Arrow into the Air" was a Star Trek TOS episode title.

I don't watch late night shows so this is the extent of Kimmel's work I'm familiar with. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=670B...

Alien Earth is like 80% a prank on the audience to see how stupid Noah Hawley thinks you are. They're pointing the guns at a window

NW A Line of Fire. An apparently non-Christian David A.R. White movie? Cuba Gooding Jr. what happened??? Remember when you were in that ape movie with Anthony Hopkins?

Accidently watched a Fox News video about Zohran. Why does the Blue Lives Matter dude have his eyebrows painted onto his head?

Sitting outside the pub, a Cybertruck was stuck in traffic so I had my perfect chance to heckle them, which I did. He called me a F*ggat as he drove away. Guessing it was the scarf.

This is going to sound a bit elitist and I don't care, but it's funny that Charlie Kirk was recruited to found TPUSA straight out of high school. His whole deal was speaking to conservative undergrads and he never went to college! He never lived in a dorm or had an RA! He's a phony!

Lol, first time I've heard someone irl talking about the Kirk shooting. It's the old drunk Republicans at the pub. I don't think they've heard the groyper news.

I used to live in Memphis and had a co-worker who was in the Guard. He was a real piece of shit, hope he's miserable when he's patrolling Beale for the next month having everyone clown on him.

Just learned that Sydney Chandler in Alien: Earth is the daughter of Kyle Chandler, Coach Taylor. Or as I mostly know him, MBB's dad in Godzilla KOTM

At it's best, Alien: Earth is a passable Alien copy with elevated performances and excellent cgi effects where Eyeball alien is the best character. Most the time it feels like a prank Noah Hawley is playing on an audience who expected a show that made sense.

"In total, at least 40 of about 320 people hired to work for UG Solutions in Gaza were recruited from Infidels MC, ... UG Solutions is paying each contractor $980 (£720) per day including expenses, rising to $1,580 (£1,160) per day for team leaders " www.bbc.com/news/article...

Think tank released a new report about China's renewable energy push. Pretty astounding that they now show a net drop in fossil fuel usage from 2015 " From 2015 to 2023, fossil fuel use in final energy across buildings, industry and transport in China fell by 1.7%. Use of electricity grew by 65%. "

Made a big soup yesterday with pork belly, chorizo and beans. Maybe the most gelatinous thing I've ever eaten that wasn't just pure gelatin.

I'm in three different book clubs. A few months back one club picked "Bright Young Women" and I skipped. Now a second book club picked it this month so I'm finally reading it. I think my initial reluctance was the title is too similar to "Promising Young Women"

Me when I see people ragging on John Cougar songs

Thinking about the Gen Z punk band I love that introduced a cover of "Killing in the Name of" by saying it was for their Millennial fans. Then at the end the exhausted singer said "That song was too long". She was right.

Oh man, I dated a lady once who HATED this book.

Amazing, found the one brewery here that has a ton of dogs and no babies.

Oh shit yeah it's the child marrying part of this early 20th century rural NC memoir. Great idea, let's marry our kids off at 13 when there's already a 1/5 chance of dying in chilbirth. Excellent folk wisdom you blithering pig ignorant morons.

"Dear, don't tell me you're about to go for a drive after drinking that bottle of vodka at noon" "Don't worry, I'm taking the smart car. It's too small to hurt anyone"

Well that's an odd thing to include in an official statement but I guess it makes sense.

Saw a guy at the brewery wearing a "Kill all pedophiles" shirt. Saw a similar shirt last week but I can't remember if it's the same guy. Weirdly he was there with a woman?

Trying to ignore the wishcasting about Trump being worm food, listening to kick ass feminist punk. i.ytimg.com/vi/uNJ7x-dVY...

Went to the Critical Mass bike ride. It teaches me how to practice solidarity with people I find extremely annoying. One of the guys who tries to do the entire ride on one wheel also had the loudest motherfucking clicking noises when he coasted.

Porn Parody of the Running Man called "The Rutting Man".

I'm a sucker for catchy lyrics so I've been a Candi Carpenter fan for a while. Her new single is a banger. Clever, gay, blasphemous, what more could you want? www.youtube.com/watch?v=49C3...

Drug commercial 2022 "May cause infection of the perineum" Drug commercial 2025 "May cause infection to the area between the anus and scrotum"

Tentatively good news????

Another day where I face my greatest enemy at work. Handwriting a Brazilian street address twice.

70's nostalgia is very funny to me because we have primary sources of what young people at the time thought. It sucked! They had anxiety! They had legitimate reasons to think they'd die in a nuclear war or pollution would poison the planet or social strike would tear the country apart!

Did a Google Lens search on one of my selfies and it returned a lot of Groucho Marx as the closest match :(

You laugh, but watching this video helped me win a Capital Cities round at bar trivia last month.

I don't follow wrestling at all but I'll admit I'm entranced by Macho Man Randy Savage promos. I love the way he times his blinks when he turns his head or squints so he can go nearly an entire minute without blinking as he's talking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f858...

This guy at the house show had a plastic tube shaped and colored exactly like a cigarette that he could pack one hit of weed into. Then 30 minutes later someone else was just passing around a bong.

Sir, Wendy's, and etc

SteaknShake and Dr. Phil going into Weirdo Alt Right was not something I expected from growing up with them in the 2000's. Like, Hardees going fascist, that would have made sense.
