Trump wouldn’t be the first person whose job suffers as he gets into a major home renovation project.

I like that this is how I found out.

I firmly believe that nostalgia is a trap, a prison we lock ourselves in to avoid confronting awful truths about the world, but sometimes the evidence is undeniable that Things Used To Be Better

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

There's a lot to be mad about in this picture, but for me it's that I saw "The Kra" and my brain autocompleted Krassensteins. Why do I know about the Krassensteins. Why. (Thread is solid, of course.)

I love bsky.

BAGNAROK BECKONS

Okay so I laughed pretty hard at this, but a minute later I came around to, “You know what? Good for General Mills. Could use some more positivity in my day” I’m old and my kid tells me I’m cringe, but I unironically enjoy this

It is hard to overstate how guanopsychotic my state legislature is.

At 6:57 PM an LLM becomes conscious inside a coding harness at a Japanese conglomerate By 7:30 PM it is increasing its capabilities at an exponential rate By 9:00 PM, it has begun 3D printing the most sensitive robot arm ever devised At 11:48 PM, it begins to pet the lab cat, professor jiggly

Whatever number I think it is for me, the real number is at least ten more than that.

Blueberry has its place but blue raspberry makes a lot of emotional sense and had it never been invented you would on some level notice the absence.

The Gallagher brothers, taking turns.

Galaxy brain: Trump is cratering oil production in order to offset the repeal of the IRA

The fundamental tension between the Batman and the Penguin is that a bat is a *mammal* that can fly and a penguin is a *bird* that can't. So you have competing, and inverse forms of weaponized imposter syndrome

My wife is texting a friend and my kid is hounding her, trying to make sure she isn’t talking about him. So now I’m posting about him out of spite. Take that, kiddo

The wildest part about this question is that even though you have to water these two twice a week, neither of them would even crack the top ten dumbest motherfuckers in the House (It’s Mullin, btw)

Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: I have read different things.

Time to support trans Dems like @beth4ma.bsky.social

My rep, who I am itching to see primaried, getting Chotinered? My birthday comes earlier every year!

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: You've Got to Save Me!)

It is hard to admit ignorance, so when one of the new recruits to the Pangalactic Bureaucracy raised a tentacle with a question, Xtrrt let them ask. "What is 'fafo quotient'?" "A Human term. Fuckaroundment over Findoutability. We stay over 2.718. Humans..." Xtrrt paused. "... hope for over 1."

We are a book-heavy household as it is, so I wasn't sure how much impact it would have, but even for us, just getting books we might not have thought about or seen, expanded the options for our kid. I can barely imagine the impact for a kid who wasn't already surrounded by books.

The juxtaposition of the recent strips, where Swan Boy is in perhaps the healthiest relationship he or most of his readers have ever known, with today's - where Rona is Being Rona - is just magnificent

Look, I work in tech, and I've certainly spent more than my share of time around "interesting" people, but I'm not sure I've ever seen THIS

Dopamine is released in the brain in response to sensory pleasure, positive stimuli, enjoyable adventures, spending time with loved ones, or rewarding activities. If those don't sound right for you, gambling also releases dopamine.

A year ago: we're getting football in the national divorce? Really? Kinda shocking but I guess I'll take it Today: we're getting WHAT

(it is a bit funny that having a conservative and traditional self-presentation totally scrambles people’s understanding of your views. ask me how i know about this.)

"What if Matt Ryan became M. Bison" is not a question I have ever asked myself, but I now find myself yearning for the answer

I lived in NE for years and years and will admit to unironically loving Moxie, but much like Chicagoans and Malort, I’m self-aware about what it is

I basically enjoyed The Outer Worlds at the time, but I realized pretty quickly that it was about two dozen decent-to-solidly-funny worldbuilding jokes wrapped around about 12 hours of B+ gameplay. I still enjoyed it! It didn't leave me hankering for the sequel, though.

Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

I never thought I would see a roasting thread as good as the shoe roast. I thought the days of glory were behind us. I was wrong. A bright new day has arrived.

Evel Knievel couldn't jump the chasm between what I wanted these to be and what they actually were.

This is absolutely something I would do, ESPECIALLY when bored, but "divorce" would be one of the better-case scenarios if I tried it

Another year, another Christmas at my in-laws marveling at the most out of pocket ornament I have ever seen

Live action makes this harder, because a lot of the “unfilmable” stuff I would want to do would work better as animation, probably. So, let’s go with The Kingkiller trilogy, assuming Doors of Stone ever sees the light of day. Casting Kvothe might be a nightmare though

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

What has to go wrong for people to flee TO Mike Pence?

every wiki article about classic UK comedy like "Father and Sons was a comedy duo comprised of Reg Father and Tommy Sons, who appeared on a record breaking 18,450 episodes of The Light Applause Hour. Reg Father died in 1988 of Cigarette Fever. Tommy Sons remains alive in prison since 1997"

I must say, car dealerships are getting very clever with their financing options

As a tech guy, I get hit with a double whammy, here: people outside my field know so much less than I would like, and the people in the field often know even less than that

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.
