One thing that lives rent free in my head is the fact that the overture to Barber of Seville…probably one of the most recognizable pieces in western music history (thanks Bugs Bunny)…was borrowed by Rossini from an earlier opera of his (Aureliano in Palmira) because he didn’t have time to write one

At this point Grok is like Robocop in Robocop 2 when they fucked Robocop up with a bunch of bullshit directives after they rebuilt him

TIL that the genitalia for a male snake is called a “hemipene”. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Maybe I’m not smart finance investor person but gold and silver, two products that have been around for about 14 billion years, are up like 100% from their price last year, and I don’t see how that’s not an obvious sign of a bubble. Am I missing something?

Can’t imagine why texting with an AI Jesus would be controversial. Thank you, TODAY, for clearing this up.

I’m not sure what “Bubba is not Bill Clinton! Trump actually sucked off some other guy” is supposed to accomplish but honestly it just brings up more questions on which dick or dicks President Donald John Trump sucked.

Also if anything can be funny about all this horrible Epstein stuff it’s that it’s that literally all of the emails are marked “importance: high” and then it’ll be like “hey jeff let me tell you this out of context quote that has nothing to do with anything from a Roman guy who’s name I forgot”

What is the condition of Dick Cheney???

Democracy in Action: Me: For the love of god I hope nobody finds out that I dropped my wife’s ballot off in the mail, I could go to jail Trump: Sure I’ll run for a third term and send the gestapo after every American who votes against me! The US Press: “Trump thoughtfully weighs a third term”

Ahem. I’m not sure who needs to hear this but I, a lifetime Californian and Democrat voter, am not voting for Gavin Newsom ever again. Not for governor, not for president, not for head manager at Chuck E Cheese. Find another candidate, Democrats.

My kink is that I want Isaac Chotiner to interview me and publish it in the newspaper.

Just presented to my whole company. Thank god for weed and Ativan.

The True Median Voter

My kangaroo-ass dog introducing herself to the chinchillas

I want to inject Isaac Chotiner interviews directly into my veins.

Who among us can forget “person woman man camera tv”

So I don’t feel good using Bluesky any more and after researching, from what I can tell my “AT Proto Ecosystem” options are: 1.Join Blacksky, which as a white person this doesnt feel right. 2.Spin up my own PDS and relay at high cost and effort and magically get users Am I missing anything?

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

MAGA 431 BC: “Ok maybe you don’t like that Pericles ended birthright citizenship but I heard that a band of Thessalonians was defiling all the statues of the Hermes. Anyway you’ll change your mind when you see the rock solid plan he has to beat the Spartans in a single growing season”

Love to hear your thoughts on this: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Congress didn’t even give a tenth of the attention to honoring Jane Goodall’s death that it did to Charlie Kirk.

Just spent ten minutes on Mastodon and that might be what cures me of my social media addiction. It’s extremely painful to use in ways I can’t quite articulate.

I’m not migrating or leaving yet but it seems like it’s pretty inevitable at this point given the red flags the Bluesky leadership team is throwing out lately so feel free to follow me on Mastodon. I’m gonna try to start posting there more again mastodon.nz/@case

Massive Vegas style Casino collab between the Tejon tribe and Hard Rock is the most 2025 thing imaginable.

New thing to kick over and vandalize dropped

We don’t ever put up Halloween decorations but this year my wife bought a single horrible looking spider magnet and put it on the refrigerator and it managed to terrorize me and both my kids individually and I’ve never been more proud to be married to her

“So, director, what do you want to call your EROTIC THRILLER about people at a lake?”

This whole Bluesky thing is upsetting but you have to laugh when you consider that @jcsalterego.bsky.social started it. Thats probably the most Bluesky thing about it.

Psssst…hey, I heard you like Halo. Want to see Master Chief have sex and never wear his armor?

I do appreciate the new book category they added at the library

If you’re getting giga-ratio’ed on the social network that you are a CEO of and/or chief engineer, perhaps take a step back and question the things you are saying and thinking. It should at least give you pause.

It felt like every day for the first six months of the year we couldn’t open the news without seeing Elon Musk and I just realized he’s been kinda quiet and it reminds me of when my dog gets quiet for a while and it’s only because she was tearing apart my favorite jacket and shitting on the pillow

I’ve been on every iOS version since whatever was on the iPhone 3GS and I’ve never seen an iOS upgrade jump in battery usage as much as iOS 26. I can’t get through half a day without needing to charge my phone (normally get a full day charge)

Follow me for my hilarious culturally relevant for 2025 comments.

Hey EA, I was going to buy Battlefield 6 but I’m not going to support the Saudi government and the Kushners. You lost a sale and future sales from me forever. Hope this helps. Enjoy your acquisition!

If Democrats cave on this, I will never, ever, ever, ever vote for them ever again. Ever.

The Democrats should not sign anything, ever. Full stop. This government is vile and at this point it needs to be shut down forever. There’s no negotiation with Nazis short of throwing Trump and his family and cabinet out of Marine One as a show of good faith for discussions.

Rumblefish is a deep movie because it’s all in black and white…except the fish. The rumblefish.

Thank god Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air so we can go back to not giving a shit about Jimmy Kimmel.

Liberalism is not leftism. “The Economist” considers itself liberal. Bill Maher thinks he’s a liberal. Liberalism, in its current form, is about unfettered capitalism, with some lip service to the rights of the oppressed and marginalized. It’s great propaganda. (Reposted with alt-text)

ICE is a physical and existential threat to the fabric of this nation and they must be shut down.

To Village People’s “in the navy”: In the rapture There won’t be any MAGA guys In the rapture Those assholes all took to the skies In the rapture Chosen by God at your birth In the rapture The fun bunch all stayed back on Earth!

Your god is weak. My god vomits fire and semen.

My back is against the wall. The Tylenol police have found me. I have one last ammo pack of aspirin but I’m saving it for myself if I’m caught

Why are we arguing so much about one passage in a Politico article that’s quoting one passage in Harris’ book when: -She didn’t actively support trans people during her campaign -She ignored a genocide her admin was committing -She moved pretty hard to the center right mid way through her campaign

Does anyone know if the Rapture is going to start at midnight eastern time? I’m on west coast so if so I’ll check it out at 9PM but otherwise I’ll probably just sleep in and see how it’s going tomorrow.

You couldn’t make Tiger King in 2025
